I wish every profession had a series like this. I'm loving seeing the little details that make an expert good at their job. Thanks!
Dude this is awesome, I love these videos. I wish trades were talked about more in school, as someone who went to college and did 4 years and ended up working as a landscaper I wish the trades would have been promoted more. Appreciate you putting the time in these videos
A lot of people complain about the per/hour charges from a skilled worker, but someone less proficient will probably take longer to do the job, costing more in the end, and the job will not be as good. A good professional is usually worth the investment.
For certain! A good craftsman is worth every penny.

Yeah, my roofer came out with one helper and did my dad's house as labor only. Charged standard asphalt shingle labor rate and I supplied all materials.
Gave them a couple hundred in tools and cash each as a tip afterwards.
They made $170 a man hour on a standard rate fixed price job.
I laugh in the face of college educated people that complain about how much they make and tell them that.
50 years of denigrating construction workers in the U.S. is starting to show to the public now. But they keep doing it. No parades for roofers.
Housing production isn't going to catch up in the next 15-10 years. Prices will stay high
@@raygunsforronnie847Honestly, tradesman is going the "guys" route and becoming unisex.
I didn't even know guys had done that until after a generation had passed.
Raining mud, from the lacerated sky. 😎🤘
10:34 "Matt, you ready to get this butt joint? I saw you already checking it out with your knife"
I worked for a drywall company that did slick finish.😫 My boss got mad if when mud dropped I didnt catch it in my pan. Seems ridiculous but even now I still do and can anticipate drips and when they are gonna fall and it looks like a coordinated dance but in the end there is less mess which I am sure was the reason my boss drilled that skill into us.
Thank you.
Matt for that wonderful video and thanks Lilia.
For her professional heop , thanks again for the video
Big Bank is back 🔥
Practice, practice, practice and more practice.
It’s all about how you hold the knife too. Matt just grips the handle. But she uses her pointer to apply pressure. Some use both pointer and middle fingers to apply different pressure to each side of the knife
Those are some clean consistent mud lines, I love it. Drywall stuff is up there for trades I won't attempt on my own lol
Drywall is an art.
Matt you didn’t fill the boxes
When you have to sand your mess you will learn what not to do. 😊
I lve in a double wide mobile home that has the vinyl covered sheet rock with the strips that cover the joints would it be best to cover with 1/4 " reg sheet rock?
Mud boxes are they way to go
Awesome:))) As a newbie Im very messy 🤣
Lydia is very skilled and beautiful! Sheetrock and plaster is a very skilled profession.
A mudder 😂
I love wearing stilts first time i was an electrician and the drywallers left them on site i strapped them on and was running 🏃♀️ with them 😂
“Run the risk of roughing up the paper face” she said it! That IS the biggest issues in today’s poor trowel trade. They glob it on and over sand the entire surface using mostly power sanders.
A good taper/finisher can lightly “broom” the surface with a sanding head for a great level 4.
What size blade on the hand tool?
Lol at those 2. Last comment
Like painting, drywall is more art.
She can learn me a much.
I love taping! Matt’s taping like a newbie, and I love to see it. Lydia should’ve stuck you in the closets where the bad taping can’t be seen.
All jokes aside, my father told me that to be a “real” taper you should go through at least 5 buckets of compound a day. I’ve never done more than 4 buckets, but I made up with enthusiasm and skill. But most of my friends hate taping!
Notice the position of her index finger?
That mud looks way too thin. She's dead on though, if you're any good with your hands you can pick it up pretty quickly and think you're better than you are, but some people just can never learn. I had a kid working for me that after three years he was still struggling with doing nails. Finishing by hand is all in your pointer finger. If it's not hurting at the end of the day you were doing it wrong. Spotting those bad shoulders is something that comes with experience, and when they are missed look terrible when painted.
When running that butt joint you should have been standing parallel with it so that your arm motion is going from right to left in front of you, and your pointer finger in the middle of the blade. The biggest mistake most people make is leaving too much mud, and over working it. You've got to learn when to leave it alone.
Walking stilts is easier than people think it is. I've been doing this for 32 years, and I've fallen three times. Twice nothing hurt but my pride, and the third time I broke my elbow. We were taping 12' ceiling with a bazooka, I had my stilts all the way up and tripped over a board in the floor. I had to get up and keep working, that's one of the drawbacks of being self employed, but on a positive note I learned to finish with my left hand.
i like my mud thick !
She's not that bad but nice to watch 😂
Whenever i hear talking drywall i think methheads unite!!! Anyone in construction knows the stereotype.
Weird, here the roofers are the meteorologists. Painters are drunks and the drywallers are potheads.
Too bad. Mine is the last comment.
is it?
Matt is faking right? I am very surprised a high end custom builder doesn’t know how mid is applied at least a little.
Ever watch Bob Vila? I'm thinking it's something like that, for our benefit as viewers, questions and answers need to be thrown back and forth.
Of all the trades required for residential housing the one that makes the most sense to hire professionals for is drywall
most do it so well and so fast and at a reasonable price point it's not worth doing yourself
Most GC's are totally hands off with sheetrock. My best friend is a GC and builds 15-30 homes a year and he is an accountant by training ( does fine woodwork in his off time). He is totally hands off the actual labor he just pays for trades to do what they do. My buddy is a master GC and makes a killing for the last 20 years because he stays in his lane.
Great comment. I had my hands on probably 50% of all trade work in the first 5-6 houses I built. After recognizing "my lane" which was sales and construction management, I stayed in it and built 12-15 per year, with high quality.
If Matt ever did drywall, it was 30 years ago. And being "average" or "DIY" quality will quickly show the difference between that level of work and what Team Lydia does.
O my goodness nobody in their right minds muds by hand anymore goodnight get a 10" and a 14" box and that joint is mudded in 7 seconds
sealing it up... part continued...
General contractors don’t know how to do anything really
its too much work. i pay someone to do it
