- Matt flies out again to the mountains of Bozeman, Montana to meet Master Drywaller, Lydia Crowder. Popularly known as @drywallshorty - Matt spends a day hands on learning about the trade. And spends most of his time doing the grunt work - mixing mud! Lydia gives Matt some insight into the trade and how drywalling is more complex than it looks.

Nice to see the woman behind the viral posts in my trade groups. She’s a sweetheart and a hard worker, I hope she inspires the next generation of women to get their hands dirty.
Much respect for this young lady & her husband. I ran a drywall & painting business, for many years, on Hilton Head Island, SC. This is what it takes to do the job right-that’s what you pay for. Great vid, Matt. 👍
Lots of great info. I was told we got belt and butt seams. Belt like the belt we wear is horizontal and butt like the crack runs vertical 😂
They’re killing me not chucking this keyed drill! 😂
All the blades that are larger than 8 inch usually have a concave bow on the same side as the name brand stamp on the handle.
Mixing your hot mud in your pan with a beater blade from your wife's cake mixer.
Drywallers are more artists than they are a trade.
.
Yeah, Lydia is awesome! I've loved every single video of hers that I've seen.
I bet
Thanks for visiting Lydia. I spent 28yrs painting & wood finishing; a good drywaller is a dream to follow. Much respect.
I started watching Shorty after I saw you post about her a while back. After watching a bunch of the videos it gave me the confidence to try my own. I ripped out a built in shelf, sealed up the torn paper, mudded and matched texture perfect! I watched a bunch of other videos, but gleemed info from her stuff too. I also reached out with some questions about removing knockdown texture and she was happy to answer. Great person! Also I concur, I like watching its so cool!
Lydia's bank 🔥. Something we didn't ask for, but certainly NEEDED ..........
cant wait for the next vid!! been watching you both for quite some time, love seeing tou together!!!
30 minutes and all they did was mix mud... I do want to say a bucket shovel is a game changer. using your joint knife to load your pan is a mess.
Matt, I really appreciate these beginner overview videos. Excited to watch more.
Matt, I joined Frontdoor today. Love your content and trust your recommendations.
In my opinion a young person could get into drywall finishing after spending about 3yrs of hard work and open a premier business. Especially since so many people are keeping their homes and remodeling these young people would earn a great living. I really wish more people would learn how to finish drywall without creating the dust cloud. For someone that has practiced this method it seems natural and just as easy to wet work that to dry sand.
I would love to talk to Lydia Crowder and her husband and bring them to KY next January/February to redo my home.
Drywall finish 101, put a cup of water in the mud box & move it around to get all the compound to neatly come out.
Beautiful & talented. A rare commodity. (I'm not talking about Matt)
Yes.
I haven't seen anything but Hispanic drywallers in prob 15-20yrs here in the Mid West
The ceiling height is likely either 100.5 imches, or 102 inches. Likely didn't have precut studs and was either full dimension lumber, or maybe nominal.
She said it was an old home. Not sure I like that middle band, only would get full taper on top or bottom. But less seams than hanging vertical. Tough choice.
@@maddierosemusic the middle band is actually not a big deal. When you run the 2nd coat over the two tape lines you can bring them together and skim the wall to evenness. It’s not complex actually. But a bad tape job will show that band everywhere.
But you agree it would be better with all tapered seams. Hold a 4' level up against that middle band when it's all done and it will rock slightly, not so with tapers.
@@maddierosemusic It can be smoothed out easily enough if the framing isn't bowed. If the wall is bowed, it makes it more difficult, but not impossible.
If the framers know their jobs then the walls will be as straight and flat as possible. This will make the band as flat as the rest of the walls. Best scenario.
Wow..
Laughing about the bread pan. I just load up the hock n go. Way easier to manage.
Nicely done butt-joint!! Yowsa!!
I hired a kid to finish mud job. He didn't add enough mud so when he sanded he exposed some tape. What can I do to fix it?
Sounds like that kid is you.
@@ass2mouthallday gross
More mud on top.
Please don't bring that box tech to the east coast!! TONS of uses for those old drywall buckets. My brother made buckets and says there is 3 pounds of plastic in each bucket.
Did I miss something? Why do they call 4' boards 48s and 5' boards 54s? Maybe she mispoke.
They’re not 5’. They’re 54”-which is 4-1/2’. Stack two of those for 9’ walls (otherwise you have two 48” and a 1’ belly band). She misspoke several times so I’m a bit concerned
Edit: I just noticed the board they’re in front of has a belly band since they used 48” instead of 54” for 9’ walls
My ceiling is 8.5 inch high so I used 9 inch drywall vertically.
What is this?! A building for ants!!?
@@Rizzo2185 haha, feet, off course. I'm metric guy and your imperial system sometimes confuses me
@@fevgg yeah us Americans do everything we can to avoid any other system of measurement. We’re totally ass-backwards with it
Don’t hang drywall vertical unless it’s metal studs
@@Techmatt167Official why?
Shorty is stacked.
A little off subject but I remember my early years as an electrician the insulators broke in a house through an upstairs window and insulated the entire house before our rough in electrical inspection 😮
Why don't we use wide board (54") and get rid of that band. You're making things harder.
Should’ve used 54” and 48” drywall, that way there’s one beveled flat in the middle of the wall.
Nope, wider boards would make that one seam.@@Navy1977
I agree.@@SteferinoChomovsky
@@Navy1977 No. Two 54" boards = 9 foot ceilings. = no band.
True. But sometimes you get what's available to get the job done. They know the finishers going to make it look good.
You'll never catch me hanging drywall horizontal. All butt joints and nothing to screw to. 👎
Matt has no idea the F he's doing
Because he doesn't actually do anything in real life. He drives fancy vehicles and talks about products.
Y’all hatin so hard!
@@Navy1977he started out there building crap apparently
It takes a long time to able to swing a knife and make it look like you know what you are doing!@@ass2mouthallday
@@Navy1977At this stage I'm sure it's who is in his contacts lists of subcontractors, suppliers, engineers and architects. "I'm Matt, and I make phone calls and houses get built!" Not a bad situation to be in.
As for the original comment, Matt's drywall skills remain to be seen but I'm not expecting journeyman quality work from him, and that would change the focus of this show if he did.
Talking Trades is a genuine attempt to appeal to potential workers and entrepreneurs. They're trying to show that it's possible to do tangible work that results in satisfaction, can accommodate a certain amount of schedule flexibility, and can earn a solid, living wage; that the trades don't have to suck, and that there is a demand for ethical, honest, and competent workers and business owners.
