I have watched a lot of remodeling videos and I must say I really like the way to do yours. I learned everything I needed to without a lot of extra talking. I will watch as many videos as you have. Thank you
Patricia - thanks for the nice comment, I appreciate it a lot ! It's funny you say, without a lot of extra talking, I actually thought I talked to much in this video-ha. Hard to strike the balance when there such a broad audience. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment ! Mike
(Maybe also- My friend suggested boiling a big pot of water to get the air moist and keep dust from traveling) I get very ill with dust so I thank you for the guidance!😂
I have found the best way to minimize dust is to thin mud especially on finish coats and tapper mud into paper. If the tapper is done correctly, you should be able to see a Slight change in color from mud to paper. Then, hit it slightly with the pole sander or hand sander. Best way to test the blend from mud to paper is feel with your hand. If tapper is done correctly, there should be hardly no ridge detectable. I keep my joints wide to make the tapper easier to accomplish. Sanding a room should not take a long time.
Thanks Tim ! Appreciate you watching... hope this helps. There’s some other videos about this topic on the channel.. .. not sure if you considered subscribing ? Happy New Year, Mike
Because basements can become high humidity areas if let’s say there’s a small flood or your humidifier stops working, ect…. If the stuff gets wet it’s trashed, that’s not why I installed. Installed for alittle extra protection against mold. Overall it adds $50 (maybe) to the project, for a piece of mind. Not required, but it can only help and not hurt. Mike

Good tips (especially the dust control patch) but the most important one is -The better it is applied the less sanding is required. Your processes take lots of time and labor. -If you were to just use a vacuum sander with some water in the bottom of a cyclone/dust trap you wouldn’t have any dust.
and 6 hours later you have a 30-45 min job done haha---. this is in no way a knock on your technique of finishing drywall, more power to you, but I just have a few comments. first off don't jab your drywall knife into the corners like this you run the risk of cutting the tape. second while using the sponge is not wrongbits just not necessary. third thing is the "steps" are not in the correct order if this is, as he stated, the final coat you could go around with a drywall knife and scrape the edges but imo at this point another unnecessary step. the important thing is that at this point you should use the pole sander first and brush down everything and last thing would be the smaller drywall sanding sponge this is the check sanding stage you need to take a light and the sanding sponge around the whole job and sand with the light shining on the areas you are sanding so you can check for imperfections that may need more drywall mud or more sanding this is where you should definitely be wearing a mask. as far as the type of light to use I use one of those trouble lights that have the silver metal cone over the light bulb I use a 100 watt bulb they are under $15. this is the correct way to finish out drywall

Very helpful! Thank you!

Nice job. To the point and looks like smart approach. Love the lead-in :)
haha - Thanks Bob !
Dust control falls down....it doesn't float in the air as much....but yes thin coats minimize sanding 👏
Yes, you are right - Thanks for watching !!!
Mike
Thanks! This was helpful. I'm trying to cut down on the amount of dust!!

I hate drywall dust I’ve used a air mover with a hepa filter in my house
great idea !
Nice job but why did you install green moisture-resistant drywall in the basement?
Because basements can become high humidity areas if let’s say there’s a small flood or your humidifier stops working, ect…. If the stuff gets wet it’s trashed, that’s not why I installed. Installed for alittle extra protection against mold.
Overall it adds $50 (maybe) to the project, for a piece of mind. Not required, but it can only help and not hurt.
Mike
Is that the one for the washroom?
In Florida we use it everywhere…not many basements here tho

Thanks for the heads up ! I'll add ASAP ... not sure how I missed that.
Thanks for watching
