My name Justin Harrison I form Rome George I want to work with you because I want to make money 💰 I can to get ready to go college I want to work with you
I want this job I love drywall I am begset fan of drywall I to work with you on drywall just let you know I want to be my friend and I to be my drywall friend I am watching it just everyday I am learning about drywall work money I want to make money for that
Someone forgot to clean their tools and flap disked the mud off 😂
I do the same
I am so stoked about renovating my old house to restore it now! I can do it!
I’m renovating my house and watched a lot of your videos. My dad passed away when I was 9 so I have no chance to finish any project with him. Your son is so lucky to have such a great dad
This was exactly my thoughts. I lost mine when I was 6. Sorry for your loss. But, ain't gonna lie I miss my dad so much. Felt I missed so much as an adult now and reference these videos.
How can anyone dislike this mans videos? So detailed, so genuine, and legitimately cares about his viewers outcomes. And guarantee he doesn’t need to do these.
I can't imagine anyone disliking such an informative video. Must be the contractors upset that you're giving out all this information for free instead of making the average person spend thousands calling them. Thank you for everything you do Jeff!
THANK YOU..you said exactly what I was thinking..What's not to like about this video. . So informative. I wish when people dislike something I wish they would explain why. You are right ..it must be jealous contractors..mad cause people can do their own drywall. And not cost a arm and a leg
I think it’s people upset with how good looking his beard is
people don't want their liked video playlist to include such videos so they dislike it. The youtube algorithm doesn't care if it is a like or dislike. Giving it a thumbs up or down helps the video in the algorithm equally.

Agreed 100%
I have absolutely no need to drywall / plasterboard. However i have just ended up watching 45 minutes of this. Absolutely fantastic 👍👍👍
I teach construction classes at the high school level. This video is by far the best that I have seen covering the whole process from start to finish. I have been using them for instruction for a couple of years and every time learn something new.
My late DH was a residential construction engineering type for 45 years. Started a couple of component shops, etc. and remodeled several of his own homes. He told me once, the best way to learn to drywall was to do a closet -- you'll learn every skill and make every mistake in one small, contained space. 😆
Felt like I was back at my apprenticeship school. Excellent knowledge base. Also I am sure his son will look back at these one day and really appreciate his Dad’s knowledge and how he has also accumulated it. ( Dad should have said inside edge measurements) . Loving all the work around the homes imperfections. Great learnings.
I love the way you take time to EXPLAIN the mistake without making your son (or employee in many cases) feel like they are inept. Some people, for some unknown reason, actually think that because THEY know something that EVERYONE should know it also.
I wish I had a father like you growing up. You’re lucky to have a son willing to learn and he’s lucky to have a dad to take the time to teach him!
My "father" was the complete opposite of Jeff. No amount of therapy can fix me at this point.
@@pdrey100 coping vs fixing is the approach i take. Believing in yourself is one of the hardest things to do. People that get loving support don't get what its like to not get it, forget trauma. 🤗
We doubled the size of our house when I was a teen. I hade no choice about working for him. Learned a huge amount. He never met a child labor law he paid attention to.
@@onearmedbandit9543 HAHAHAHAHHAAHHAH!
video should also be titled "how to be a good father"
I was gonna say.... this makes me wish I had a dad. ♡
@@Ann__333 I'm 65 and only met my father before he passed away once when I was about 8yrs old. One of my biggest regrets is not being pro-active about getting to know him and as you say, having a dad. God has forgiven me and him, but Michael hasn't forgiven Michael..
@@Climate_Hoax you were a child of 8, stop blaming yourself for not being pro-active at such a young age……

He is a great father ! His son is vey lucky
Dude is the Bob Ross of DIY construction video. Well done 👏
Wow what a great video I loved working with my son he's older now has his own family but every mistake that he made was a learning experience and he made sure he didn't do it again and that's what it's all about you're always learning
I've been a contractor for years and you sir are doing it rite👍🏼i myself uses your tip in my every day work .The Best home remodeling channel on RUclips.
Thanks 👍
Yes absolutely 💯 agree
Love this guy. He is teaching the right way of doing things and helping us to save. Also, making people aware so we would know how not to cut corners.
Cheers Steven, Just trying to help folks looking to be independent!
You are a true professional that really cares about his work.
Wish everyone in construction cared as much as you, i've had run ins with so many people who just don't care or try to short cut everything. It never works and only ends up taking longer and costing more.
Very long video but so full of great info that I never felt like I was wasting my time watching it. I just watch it 30-45 mins at a time over a couple of days.
Glad it was helpful!
Love a long story to make right
Jeff: You are definitely my go-to expert for home renovations! I found you last year, when I was doing home renovation research and wish I had found you a whole lot earlier! It would have saved us time, money, and a lot of headaches! My hubby and I are 65yo and we still do many of our own renovations. We did contract out the big stuff. Uh, did I mention we are 65? (smile) I love working with my hands and I love tools! Friends have kidded me thru the years that I would rather have tools than jewelry...and they are right!! I love how you explain things, what a great Dad you are working with Matt (teaching him the business as your Dad did), and how you run into mistakes but use it as a learning method. I know I learn from my mistakes! Thank you for sharing your expertise and for all your tips and trick!
Thanks for the awesome tips. Started a reno and almost cried when it came to drywall. Your tips were spot on, and my work looks like the work of someone that's been doing it for 3-5 years. It doesn't look like a 3 year old did it. Your hammer through the wall patch is awesome. Worked like a champ. Love your videos bud. Keep them coming.
I have a job..... Doing a job from somebody bad work
😭🤣😭👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯
Glad it helped! Cheers!
I really enjoyed the extended conversations between you two. To include leaving in the "bloopers" of mismeasuring and working with wonky angles. It makes it more real for the beginner diy'er like myself seeing the goof ups. I appreciated seeing your son goof stuff up, but take it in stride and learn from it. Thanks for the video.
I helped my dad with drywall in our garage earlier this year. He was a great teacher but no doubt about it this video could have helped me with a baseline understanding on what to do. Regardless thanks for taking the time to show us how you go about drywall in quick, easy, and effective language/demonstration!
this channel needs to be more famous, better than any other content easy. Bro speaks gospel
Cheers, however we are growing just fine. Besides I am not going anywhere anytime soon.

Thanks! I think this is the third time I've watched it, but this time it was because I'm going to actually paint the house 😂😂
Jeff and the entire crew we never get to see but I know are there
thank you so much for all of your work. I hope to know you are contributing something truly valuable to people.
wish I could give you more but it's been a rough and tight year.
keep up the good work!
Just seeing this now. Really appreciate the kind words. You're awesome, I hope your year is getting better my friend. Cheers!
Your brilliant tutorial has got me over a big problem. I have what I call a busy ceiling. The ceiling was raised and insulated into the underside of a pitched roof with the prefabricated roof trusses showing and meaning that the plasterboard is absolutely full of notches, holes, obstructions and narrow gaps between the truss members. Every plasterer and drywall finisher has suddenly become too busy to do it when they come to give a quote and if it wasn't for this series I would have been stuck. It's been a right ****** of a job to do in every way and taken me weeks on and off but it's done now and looks great. Thanks so much for your help and guidance.
I love that you're doing this with your son. It feels like your teaching him and great for us to learn from.
I hope your son realizes how lucky he is to have you for a father. You're amazing sir. I love your videos.
For what reason are you referring too as lucky? Bcuz i had my thoughts about that also. I'm assuming you are referring to the fact that he gets free training. Well I noticed the kid looks to be 18 to 20 years old and doesn't know anything yet. That may be becuz he hasn't spent any of his weekends and summers working with his dad like I did from the time i was 8 years old. I was knew everything i needed to know to get a good paying job in construction by the time I graduated He probably doesn't want his son working construction work. Blue collar or white collar?

I agree and I'll state the only knowledge I have of these guys is youtube but I believe Jeff would live it if his son was into the trades. Sadly, I don't see Matthew demonstrating awareness of his blessing. My dad drank and beat me and that was when I did things well. I'd have killed for a dad that knew stuff and was willing to teach me. I hope I'm wrong?
Jeff, you're the best man. I use your videos so much. It's so useful to have one source and method for all of my home reno DIY projects. There's a ton of sources out here on RUclips but I love not having to piecemeal together methodologies or opinions. The wide range of topics you cover is amazing. You're matter of fact, to the point and try to make it simple for us DIYers. Appreciate your videos! Keep doing you!
Awesome, thank you! Cheers Michael!
Watching this and getting tips that I'm trying to apply in a 130 year old house I'm very jealous of everything there being flush and flat and how smoothly your knife flows over everything! Lots of great information I appreciate it!
Do you realize how good you really are? You are really good. Thank you.
aw I love this comment
You are the Bob Ross of DIY projects! You explain things so everyone can understand it. Thank you.
Thanks Paul. Happy to be of some help!
SO HELPFUL! After trying for 2 years to find a contractor to build a small partition wall in the basement, my brother helped me frame the wall. I was a bit hesitant to tape and mud the drywall, but now I am ready to begin. THANK YOU!
Love to see how it went Katie. send us pics on instagram. Cheers!
Certainty is a gift (in the relevant instance here where you know what you're talking about of course) and you have it. These days everyone wants to hedge their statements not to offend or contradict. I'm over it, and you are a breath of fresh air, sir! That you're right about your chosen subject is pure gravy, dude. Thanks again!
He is wrong about some things. Plastic vapor barrier isn’t recommended due to mold and condensation in all but the coldest climates as far as I know - a paper lined batt insulation with paper as vapor diffuser may be enough.
What a game-changer a hawk is. I've always struggled with those SS Pans and the plastic ones with the metal strip. Being able to actually access the mud and clean the knife with ease made my project much easier and the finished product is great.
Also renovating an old farm house. Your posts are incredibly important to me. Hugh help! Thanks. Nice to see I'm not the only one who makes a mistake. Enjoy watching you both. Learning tons.
Happy to help!
You are an amazing educator. This video was so long, but it was a very through explanation of the drywalling process. I feel confident, that with your video on the screen and a refresher every morning before I begin, I can dry wall my kitchen. I will rent the contraption to lift the drywall that seem to make sense. Thank you so much for the training. I love this stuff!
How'd that kitchen go lol?

Jeff, thank you for taking the time to explain the things that may seem like common sense to those experienced. I didn't learn these things growing up, and only came to homeownership as an adult. Your approach has helped me start developing the confidence I need to start tackling the projects I need to do in my house. Cheers.
Well done John. Cheers!
Same here. From a city boy from those crazy NYC neighborhoods to an old house in VA and a few acres + well water. I'm working on my basement for my kids. This was a great video. I kept forgetting that I pressed like already LOL
Cheers Greg, sounds like a great place to live and raise a family!
Thank you so much for this. I have a guy helping me out who works for a house flipper doing drywall. He says he's worked for this guy 15 years. He has worked for me on other jobs and proved honest ,reliable and hard working but this drywall install is a tug of war. Starting with him wanting to put sheets on the wall vertically, everything he wants to do is contrary to what I was taught. I learned years ago from my Dad and uncle and they were not pros. You do things the way I learned to do it and it's almost like having Dad back again, plus you know a lot of tricks he didn't. You are a lifesaver.
Thanks for putting this all into one video. I love your channel and share it with others. Suggest that you point out that you should stack your drywall on walls that the floor joists go to so that the extreme weight of the multiple sheets of drywall is distributed over multiple joists. Preferably on an outside wall where the load can be transferred down to the rim board and foundation wall. There could a problem even on interior walls located over multiple floor joists if there isn't a wall supporting the floor joists but maybe just a beam not designed to support 900# of drywall. That much weight against walls running parallel to floor joists will be placing 900# over 1 or 2 joists which definitely could cause enough deflection to crack possible drywall joints in the room below. You can distribute your drywall against multiple walls without doorways which may require you to move a sheet out of the way to install the first sheet on the wall. Small price to pay to prevent avoidable possible damage.
Not really a big deal. People put waterbeds in houses which weigh more than that.
First of all I’d like to thank 2020 and 2021 teaching me all those wonderful life lessons. Secondly thank you for such a good video on this. I’ve always paid for the drywall part of my projects until now. Say a prayer for me please.
Going for a Drywall for time and watching this to know how things are done to save both sides time and obviously put impact. Thanks from a student, great teacher you are.

Sir, your son is a lucky person to have a dad like you, by the time he rich 30 years old he’ll be a master mine I’m so proud for n especially you sir I learn a lot from your channel thank you so much
THE BEST video tutorials I have ever watched. Very skilled. Very good at explaining what he is doing and why. I have to watch these so I will know what to expect workers that I have to hire need to do. I am 79 women, and without my husband, who used to do all our work I have to hire someone to do all this type of work.
Great job man. I am working in hardware store and whenever I have customer looking for DIY ideas I always open youtube and show your videos and suggest to check for their project. I love it and I learned a lot. Thank You
I have work in the morning. I'll be back tomorrow, because I can't watch two feature length films of Jeff at this hour.
The best educator on DYI construction. This man is a teacher with great skills.
Just finished my first drywall project, basement bathroom. Probably should have started with something smaller but it turned out pretty good. I couldn’t have done it without the help of your videos, tips, and tricks Jeff. Thank you very much!!!
That is awesome! Cheers Joe!
Phenomenal video. Jeff is a real pro and a great teacher and I've become a much more proficient drywaller because of his instruction. I've watched his videos over and over again. One small suggestion--If you are just beginning with drywall, where Jeff uses 45 minute mud, I'd suggest using 90 minute mud until you become more proficient. It gives you more work time than the 45. As Jeff rightly points out, you can use all purpose mud, but if time is an issue for you and you need the mud to dry more quickly, 90 minute mud may well do the trick for you.
He’s so good at what he does, it almost feels like he’s showing off lol. Love it! I watch these vids daily. Great work!!
He's so good he doesn't even have to do it anymore, just show you how. LOL
He is showing off! You know he is, but he is so gad dam good at conveying information. He makes one feel like, "You can do it!" lol
But he can lol
Its so refreshing to watch a tutorial when the person takes pride in his work, a standard of excellence, and to past that knowledge to your son...wonderful.
I love the attention to detail you include with all of your videos. You give a lot of insider tips and tricks along the way. I am working on some reno stuff and avoided hiring a drywaller because I was able to apply what you taught me. Saved me hundreds. Can't say thank you enough for taking the time to create these videos. You help remove some of the fear in taking on some of the big projects I have avoided over the years.
I would recommend you send a professional to do a project cause 85 percent of the time you will mess something up and will spend more money trying to fix it
Watching you tape it's like my millennial way of watching Bob Ross paint

54:08 Reminded me of when I used to help my dad do renovations around the house, blast from the past. Had me dying!! love it.

i have no intention of doing any of this kind of work for years to come but god damn i love watching a pro do it. good stuff jeff. def going to be watching a lot more of your vids in 2022
It's funny that the experienced, more senior guy is particular about the details making sure it gets done right while ...that's the sign of a real pro. Thanks so much for your very informative videos. Hurricane Sally gutted my building and even though work is being done by contractors, it's nice to know the RIGHT way of doing things.
The lengthy training and tips are absolutely priceless. These are things you only tend to learn OJT. What a true talent to be able to call out each tip, trick and tool while making your video flow so that people literally find it enjoyable to learn.

I love your work. I have used, in the past few days, some of the techniques and tips you've shown. Moving into a new house in 6 weeks, with a lot of renovations to be done first. Your series has truly been a godsend for me. Great stuff, your a natural teacher.
This is a must see video for anyone that is getting ready to do a drywall project. I've done quite a few but learned some techniques here that are invaluable and would have saved me lots of time. He is so thorough in his demonstrations that if you follow him, you will be able to avoid all the demons that can get in your drywall project. Great Video
Glad it was helpful!
Great informative video, and very grateful for the transparency.
GREAT idea having your son do a trial run to point out common mistakes. 10/10
I'm glad I found your channel! I'm learning a bunch that will make things easier! I love that you are very thorough and go through those little things that make things easier and make the job look better!
The metal wrap on a paintbrush is called a furrow. Some brushes will come apart if water stays in the furrow too long when cleaning them. The better ones that use better adhesives for the bristles generally don't, but some can.
A good quality paint brush makes a huge difference! I still have a couple of artist brushes that are almost 50 years old made of I think mink fur. They are awesome! Caring for them is so important!
I wasn't aware you can wash paint rollers! I assumed that they would fall apart and I've always thought it was a huge waste of paint! You got about a pint of paint out of that roller and it wasn't even the thicker one! That's pretty awesome!
I love the tools you have chosen! I have some, but not all of those. Back to the hardware store! :) I can always find something go buy there! Thank goodness for their coupons!
You prolly already know this, but your video link cards aren't showing up.
Your video is awesome! I too use the plastic blade to protect many things instead of tape, or to make a straight line. Those plastic blade thingies come in different sizes, so you can use the smaller ones for small areas or even for door knobs, round lighting scones, ceiling fans, etc.
I use tape on uneven, detailed edges. I cut the edges of the tape with an exacto knife to get those intricate, detailed edges.
I finish edges even under things like ceiling tins, baseboards, etc. It may not show, but it can save a LOT of work down the road should those things be removed years down the road... same is true for baseboards, kitchen lighting, etc.
I had some flourescent lighting in a kitchen I wanted to replace, yet because it wasn't finished, the entire kitchen really needed a repaint and the drywall edges would've needed to be finished in order to make it right again, so despite wanting to update it, we left it the same and figured when the interior paint is due, perhaps it will be done then, year from now. That's something to keep in mind. I think it's always a good idea to completely finish everything, even if it doesn't show at all.
I'm also 100% with you on using good quality, professional quality paint! This isn't a kindergarten art project where a child is learning, this is your home (or someone's home anyhow!)
Professional paints have more pigment in them, thus the job can often be done with a coat or two. Lesser quality paints often don't flow as well, tend to drip more, and don't cover or protect the surface as well, thus the cheaper quality paints take more coats, take more work & simply don't look as good and don't last as long.
Thank you so much for your tool tips and reminders about those little things!
I'm going to have to find one of those gooseneck brushes! I used to use a metal coat hanger to create one! I didn't know that existed! Next time I have to jimmy rig something, or McGyver or whatever, I should market a solution!!!
😊
Thanks again for your awesome videos! I love that they are straight to the point & are so very helpful!
Subbed!
Perhaps we can share other little things that help too ?
Does anyone know what those plastic blade things are called that we use for blocking paint and making straight edges??? I don't know if they even have a name, but they are indeed very useful!

I really appreciate how Jeff incorporates real life mistakes (55:00). This makes for a DIY video that I can identify with very well. Also a good leader takes his share of the blame, which Jeff did. This guy's dry walling isn't the only thing worth emulating!
I've been drywalling for 15 years and I'm self taught, I'm embarrassed to say this (but not really), but this video, and others have taught me so much that I'm positive I'll be drywalling so much more efficiently and since my daughter works with me now, I can teach her the proper techniques. I've done a lot of things correctly, but measuring from the center to the outside walls and leaving a 1/4 on each edge is amazing workmanship and will be so much faster then I've ever been. I've also owned my Rotozip for I don't remember how long and have only used it a few times because I don't have much hand strength, (carpel tunnel) to keep straight lines, you make it look incredibly easy, I'm going to practice, practice, practice to get that technique down. I own a multitool and started using that to cut out my boxes, but I'm measuring and making non-perfect cutouts that I have to fill in with mud and tape, (yeah, IKR?) You're such a great instructor, I plan on following all of your advice to a T, see what I did there? I'm so glad I found your channel, seriously, thank you!!!
Love seeing all the good comments. Jeff is the MAN for sure. He does the best work. Literally learned everything from him. I knew nothing 2 years ago and now I'm currently on my 2nd house flip. I don't need to watch the videos much anymore but I still pay monthly to show my appreciation and I will continue to be a member for life. He could charge so much more if he wanted too. But you can tell he is genuinely just a good guy and gives this content for nothing. What up Jeff! So happy to still be a member. Thanks for being there and responding when I need help. Cheers bro!
Cheers My Man!
I’m overwhelmed at how much you are teaching for free. God bless you.
Cheers Joe, just trying to make life a little more affordable for folks!
Just started watching a few of Renovision video's, Jeff does an awesome job explaining how and why to do things.
Cheers Richard welcome to the crew!
The best educator on DYI construction. This man is a teacher with great skills.
great job my family did drywall for many years my dad and uncles did it for over 65 years
Thank you for the awesome video. My wife and I hope to tackle a small dry wall renovation in the basement. We live in a much older house that used plaster throughout most of the house. Thanks for taking the time to make this vid!
This is an outstanding video. Great communication and instructional skills with tons of knowledge from an experienced expert. Don't know how it could be any better.
I just love his son, not easy to work with a dad,bless him ,so lucky to have a great dad.x
You know it. Cheers!
I was working with my dad for almost 20 years lol 😂 sometimes we was fighting but overall was fun And i missed that now since he can’t work anymore. And my son is barely 5
Easy Matt with the hockey stick action,LOL that one crack me up,ill say something like that on the job and everyone would be smiling,it brings life and fun to the job..
Great video.
I used to work as a painter for 13 years and I never seen anyone put tape on the inside corners.
Maybe we build different or might be other climate but in Sweden we just use latex caulk after first layer of paint.
That way we get perfect corners and it doesnt crack.
Huge time saver. We do ofcourse use mud in all corners but without the tape.
Quick research tip for the US viewers. The US equivalent to the CGC All-Purpose Lightweight Ready Mixed Machine Mud, is the USG Plus 3 Lightweight All-Purpose Pre-Mixed Joint Compound. As it turns out, USG is the parent company to CGC. Best I can tell is that both of these products are identical, just marketed differently in the US and Canada. The other difference is that the USG version comes in a 4.5 gallon bucket instead of the cardboard box version with the plastic liner. Which is nice because it saves a step transferring from box to bucket nor will you need to have a spare bucket around to use it.
Loved the exchange with your son on cutting measurement around door (and how it was measured to the out side of frame and now you cant attach drywall with screw around door frame) You got me to hit the "Like" button on that one, what a "real" moment, definitely learned a lot watching this video, thanx for creating and posting!!!!
I wish I had seen this before drywalling my garage. Came out okay but could have saved me a lot of aggravation and multiple mud coats. Thanks learned a lot
Also I used to have a great little device, a clear plastic sleeve that slid over the roller and clipped onto the roller handle, and had a hose connector at the other end. Watching the water push the paint residue out of the roller fibres was great!
You are truly an amazing guy! Totally a pro n proper. I watched ya “How to soundproof a room” over n over again to understanding on “How”. Thanks so much Jeff.
No drywall projects in the near future for me, yet here I am 90 minutes into your tutorial. Love your work Jeff!
Cool, thanks
Been watching you for about 2 years now your videos are amazing and thank you. Truly life changing videos.
This was so helpful....you don't even know. I was in the attic and caught my foot on a nail and fell through the ceiling. Watching your videos have been so helpful.
This is THE BEST drywall video. Jeff, your videos are so easy to follow and understand…well except when you said “hawk”, my southern self thought you said “hock” and I was lost for a sec! 😂 But thanks to your videos, I am completing my fixer upper by myself and loving every minute of the process! Subscriber for life! 🙌🏻
Cheers Jessica, happy to help!

Seeing Jeff's son mess a few things up is giving me flashbacks to helping my dad work on stuff.
Same!
Same...but it was amazing he didn't throw tools at his son,,I can absolutely dodge a flying tool like a pro 🤷🏼♂️🤣🤣

I'm so impressed with your teaching skills.
You, sir, are a fabulous teacher. No details or tricks left out. Thank you so much❤️
Great channel, thanks you . I got too many questions for now , so for now, I shall just carry on watching .
Dude, you are a God sent. Love your videos and love what you do. Thank you for this very detailed class.
Great job.
I liked the cleaning of equipment a lot.
I thought I was aocd!
I have almost all those tool. The spin roller cleaning was a cool tool.
Plus the 45 compound . Wow!
This is the most complete video ever.
It's so comforting that I had no experience and did what you're doing. Just because.
I think I'll do it for money now.
I would really appreciate ur work, the efforts and hard work which ur taking for this videos , each and every things in detailed manner. I hope people ,who have disliked it, must understand the real work .
Watched all 3 hours in 9 mins! I'm a speed watcher! My big drywall project is next month so I'll be coming back ti this one.
Awesome! Thank you!
Good tips. You might try a TapeBuddy drywall taping tool and use paper tape. Stronger than mesh and cheaper. And it works on all seams, flat and corners. No blister or bubbles and the compound coating it consistent.
Probably the BEST instruction on DIY I've seen. Jeff is remarkably in-depth and exceptionally informative with valuable insights, tips, suggestions, a full review of tools and attachments, etc., and gives what-if scenarios that perfectly arm any DIYer for all things drywall, and then some! Thank you, Jeff, for taking the time to explain every facet of this subject. Anyone who hires you to do a job is getting a result that truly is "worth its weight in gold"! Bravo!
Making this comment for the 55min mark where son mismeasured for the door cutout. Really appreciate you guys leaving that stuff in because we all mismeasure at times, and it's great to see some of the mistakes in these videos for us amateurs that will definitely make more mistakes than yourselves.
I am from a country where we plaster the walls with cement. This is really fascinating to watch. The measure and math are simple to follow and encouraging.
On that wonky ceiling , just screw some blocking at each end about 49 inches from the ceiling and set the drywall on the blocks. Now make a scriblng block from scrap drywall and get a perfect fit for your ceiling. Great video otherwise
Watching this video, there is no doubt he has experience with (and a bit of a love for) taping!
very true Matthew! Cheers!
This is THE most decent and informative tutorials I've ever found on youtube, thank very much Sir, you're awesome 🌼🌼🌼 Happy New 2021 Year to you and family .🌼🌼🌼
Glad it was helpful! Happy New Year!
Not bad
I wish my dad taught me this. - TAV
This is a great, great video! The expanding foam trick to fill gaps is a perfect solution for an issue I have. Thanks for all these tricks and tips!
I watched the whole video and i really love it. I'm in Brampton and I'm from india and i have no knowledge about this worl but learned alot from you sir. Thanks for sharing your great knowledge and experience 😊😊🙏🙏
Glad you liked it! Cheers!
Brampton as in Brompton Cocktail Brampton?
You should try it! It's fun and makes a house look awesome!
I guess we're on an exchange of sorts. I watch a couple of gardeners from India, and although I've gardened all my life, I'm always learning something from them. The Internet is awesome!
Working on my own kitchen project, I split the sheet the long way, hung two feet along the top of the wall, then a full sheet, then two feet at the bottom. That hid all the horizontal seams behind base or wall cabinets; I only had one vertical butt seam, and I hid that behind the double wall ovens. A little more thinking, a tiny bit more work, but the only seams I had to really think about were the corners...
If you are doing behind cabinets, if you used 2 sheets wouldn't the seam be under tile? Then one seam would be easier? Or are you saying you didn't bother to finish the seams?
Looking to purchase a pole barn home & trying to see how much I can DIY. The less money I have to spend the better. I have someone who does this professionally who will be helping me as well. I’m so stoked!! Thanks for this video!!😊😊😊😊😊
