    Thanks so much! I just removed all the stumpled ceiling texture in the bedrooms, hallway and living room of my home. While the other rooms were pretty smooth underneath, the living room and guest room have cracks and splits down the middle. Thank you for showing me techniques that will allow me to get it to smooth it down to the point of non-existence getting it to level five but also ready to paint. I'm going to be using color for my ceilings.

    Oh my God dude you are seriously my HERO!!!! my landlords are extremely cheap and don't like to repair anything so I do all the work my self though they increase my rent every year, my kitchen has that issue. Thanks to you I think I can handle this repair my self since I'm going to repaint the kitchen anyways. Been living here in this house for 8 years and the only things the landlords have done was replacing my water heater twice after having no hot water for 5 days. Each time. Thats how long they took to consider replacing the water heater and my landlords are a Lutheran Church lol!

    Thank you for this. I tried to follow this step by step to repair some pretty deep cracks in my ceiling. I would like to add that you can really mess this up if you make some mistakes like I did. I put the joint compound on too thick, trying to sand off your ceiling is as bad and it sounds, really dusty and difficult. It now looks quite a bit worse than before and that was pretty bad. So if you try this be sure to do a very thin coat of the compound because it will be very difficult to remove and you will be sorry. Anyway, Thank you for tryin to help us.

    • @crinngeteamsquad4831
      @crinngeteamsquad4831 3 года назад

      I would think without putting screws in it and making it stick to the wood behind the dry wall that adding more weight and more placid to it would just make it come down again faster

    • @crinngeteamsquad4831
      @crinngeteamsquad4831 3 года назад +1

      I agree Gabriel it was a good attempt if the only problem was failing drywall tape, but we all know that is not usually why we see cracks in the ceiling. It is either coming lose from screws or screws coming loose from shrinking wood behind drywall. Needs to be secured properly before just making it cosmetically appealing again. That could even lead to worse problems or even dangerous problems down the road.

    So much negativity from angry elitist "handymen" and "contractors" who just hate on these pages because it teaches people how to do something themselves as opposed to paying said "handymen" or "contractors" some bloated hourly rate to do the same job. You all know it's true. You're just mad because every person that watches this is one more person that you won't be able to price gouge. Even if he had done this with screws, or plaster or primer or whatever "professional" method you use, you'd still be on here criticizing something.
    I love videos like this. Good, informative and to the point. Anytime something gets people to roll up their sleeves and put some sweat equity back into their homes I'm in support of it.

      Hey John! Did you see in the video that the rock wasn't secure? There was no problem there and "Even my wife" sounds like you may not be showing her the respect she deserves..i hope you leaned something even if it wasn't about taping a crack. thanks for watching!

    • @paulmcginty6530
      @paulmcginty6530 5 лет назад +2

      Yip, agreed John. Same Elitist 'experts' who have all neglected to mention that the fault may have possibly lay with a lazy bastard tradesman whom never bothered his hole to tape the joint up in the first place. The maker of the video has stated that the board was secure along the joists and he is 100% correct in doing what he did.

    Be sure to prime the raw plaster before you paint.
    Colour match will soak into plaster leaving a visible texture difference.

      That's correct. The reason you often have this seem problem is because the fasteners were too far apart (allowing the boards to sag, breaking along the seam edge). Always push up with the butt of a hammer to see if either board is moving.
