      It escalates so rapidly. All started at our house with wanting a sliding glass door... which meant moving the electrical box, but while we are at it, we should upgrade the electrical, and while we do that...we wanted to dig a new trench for the electrical line since we were digging up the patio and the old line was well entangled in tree roots. ...but when I sit on my couch where the garage and chicken coop used to be, we can see mountains. (I still need to finish painting tho)

      @AJSchultz 4 месяца назад +1

      ​@@HomeRenoVisionDIYjust curious, in the basement, why did you leave the drywall on the floor, and not lift it the ½" imperial, off the ground? Especially in an area with so much plumbing.
      Started this click bait Title… I was watching you hang your first sheet, and saw that channel for the wires, and was like, 'There's no way, this guy is getting this done in eight hours.' Even if there wasn't humidity or rain.
      First tip off, was seeing you struggle with the rip you made on the chalk line. You miss measured your water to powder ratio, and added a second pour: immediately I knew your compound was getting tough to work with, before all tape was applied. How you tossed your slow mixer, on the floor after you opened the Premix, there was no way you'd get this done in a day. Possibly if you did your 2nd coat in 90. But the heart wouldn't be dry enough for primer.
      Did you make any money, after paying for the golf?
      (Furthermore, exclusively using "45" and paper tape, filling those mistakes from the rotozip, and around the large holes cut out for drainage, wouldn't add any extra time than the expanding foam application.)
      After a passage of time, like 2 months, the unpainted caulking on the surfaces next to your flat tape, are going to look brownish from dust circulation. Pro tip… paint doesn't 'fill' imperfections. After about 4 days, the paint cures, and hugs the wall, revealing every line from the heavy sanding grit on the sponge. Take the extra hour, and do the additional finish coat of mud. Run a light bulb, and final touch up if necessary, prior to the prime will serve you well, and avoid rework. Don't skimp for a bet. When does gambling ever pay off?

  • @TechnicolorWolf
    @TechnicolorWolf Год назад +6

    Love it. As an electrician, I appreciate drywallers who take care around my work. Small tip, I learn it from an old timer they're good for stuff like that cut some cardboard up and stuff it in the boxes to hold your wires back. It's also good when it comes time to mud and paint, keeps the wires nice. Now I know you'd never hit the wires with the rotozip, paint, or mud, but sometimes you never know who's coming in behind you or if you'll be there to keep an eye on em. Either way great video, thanks for the tips. 10/10 as always.

  • @joedurkin8953
    @joedurkin8953 Год назад +13

    Painters tip. Use a mini roller singe the hairs at the button end. Dip, wipe the button clean and let it touch the ceiling to cut in your primer. Gives you just enough space to caulk then brush your finish coats.

      @Max-hw6lv Год назад +12

      @@mrreams711 I haven't tried this, but I believe he's talking about using a lighter to singe any stray threads on the roller on the end that has a cap ("button"), opposite the side you slide the handle into. Then you apply paint to the roller, clean off the button so there's no paint on it, and use the button to scribe along the top of the ceiling. Burning the threads near the button makes sure you don't get paint on the ceiling and leave a small gap between the paint and the ceiling.

    As an intermediate handyman with some drywall experience, a hawk and trowel works wonders for big stuff. If you're curious and wanna try, get a thin one (.04 or .05, Level 5 I know makes them). Once you get the coordination down you don't have to dip in the pan every 3 seconds with your 10 or 12 inch knife. The hawk also works better with a knife because it's easy to clean and continually stir the mud. It only sucks for mixing a small batch.

    Not scrubbing your mixer of the 45 hot mix is the reason you got chunks in your finish mud. Plus 3 is nice, but you gotta wipe your walls and clean your mixer and trowels before you use it. Also, for rips, make all your horizontal rips with your T square and forget the chalk line except for marking difficult screw lines. Also, thin that plus 3 and roll it everywhere, sand, and that will save a primer coat as well.

    The knife/paddle/spatula came from the Union days. Plasters (back in the day of such a skilled trade) or any cement-based worker had to be proficient with a trowel in order to get their ticket and join the Union. As drywall finishers were not towel based trades, they ended up in the Painters union, and painters use spackle, caulk and putty knives on the job site.
    And thus, a whole industry developed around this new trade with all manner of devices, ready mix materials and pre-creased tapes to improve your home decor. And the plasterers turned up with their real tools, scoffed at the mud pan wannabes and slapped it on the joints with true precision.

    I mix the 45 in smaller batches so I don't have to worry about time, I just keep resetting the clock. As a pro, I can see why you only want to mix once. For me and possibly others, I'd rather spend an extra moment to ensure it's done best as possible, then mix another batch. Cheers mate.

    First, Jeff, let me thank you for ALL you've provided me in the past. I was a paying subscriber briefly but couldn't get my questions answered but I still enjoy learning tips and tricks from you. Let me try a question again: My house is about 50 years old and any time I work on sheetrock I'm left with this conundrum, is it better to rip out floor to ceiling or just say try to repair the lower four feet where a problem requires work. Due to the bowing I've encountered I find it often difficult to line up new sheetrock with old. I'd love some feedback on this question since I'm about to do a complete rehab on a small master bath and the lower 4' of walls outside shower/tub area are covered in tile which I want to rip out.

    I used these tools for two sides of a drywall wall, I'd say the 2nd side of the wall these tools are amazing. I did not know about tapes, so side 1 has cracks, but side 2 was as good as perfect I'd say. Aka after 5 hours of using them they worked absolutely fine

    Be advised this is not a tutorial for a weekend DIY-er lol. This guy is great and very entertaining, but is a real professional. I’d you’re coming here with your first full drywall project (hanging, taping, mudding etc) it’s nice to watch his methods but I would not recommend the 45 compound. 45 minutes to hardening is generous. I poured 3 different batches and it seemed like they all hardened within 20 minutes. Very frustrating if you’re not uber-skilled working with mud and a drywall knife

    quality content as always. I have a question about your mixing paddle. When you transfer it to the water you do not run the paddle in the water in the drill. I have always had a nice clean paddle after mixing compound I "mix" the water for like one or two seconds and the paddle essentially cleans itself. Have you noticed any difference between the two methods? Or is the cleaning just as easy regardless? Also rarely use 45 min mud usually using 20 minute.

Challenge against u and quality counts I can hang but I don't I leave that to the pros but I do tape the most important part of drywall in have a hanger who is a pro who will hang my drywall infact I have guys who can hang a small to average house in a day four guys real pros u Jeff are pretty good when it comes to hanging but u don't compare to a pro drywall finisher no hard feelings but u cannot teach tapping from a video u know it take alot of jobs to get good on e people.realize it's not as easy as u say they will call a pro to fix what they did for more money than if they would have called a pro

    Great job Jeff. You work like a young buck for an old man. FYI, there were not any chunks in your premixed bucket of joint compound. The chunks were when you cross contaminated your dirty mixing tool from the previous batch of 45 mud. Trust me. I've done it myself. Gotta always clean your mixer after each spin. Dropping it in a bucket of water does not clean it.
    Excellent job though. I knew you would persevere.

    First and foremost, thank you for your time and dedication . I love how you go in depth with the fundamentals of the trade. But I do have a question. When you're trying to repair under a existing sink. Is There any quick way to get around the plumbing coming out of the wall? A lot of these existing sinks have like this wooden backing panel that you have to cut out before you get to the dry wall. Obviously just curious if you had any tips and tricks to get around that or how to patch holes around the plumbing. I really appreciate it. Thank you again for your time..
