Thanks 😁👍

Those patches have been in that house for about 5 years and not one has had an issue through multiple renters. Hollow core doors get touched about 50 times a day and the holes that I patch are all about 4" from the ceiling or directly underneath the windows and a piece of trim was covering most of it. I really don't see the problem. I have lots of comments on this video saying pretty much the same thing, most of them start with journeyman drywaller here and then explain why these patches are going to somehow jump out of the wall. I hope you don't take this comment as me being rude, I genuinely enjoy interacting with people on here. Even if we disagree 😁👍

@MrNathaneasterling appreciate the feed back bubba. I had better luck with these kind of patches on hallow core door. Appreciate the content brody.

It'll be fine 😁👍

Haha thanks. When I did this repair I was quoted by a "drywall guy" and his quote was astronomical. Back then I did not know how to repair drywall now I'm pretty good at it but it was what I had to do to get the job done at the time. And for what it's worth it's been there for many years now through many renters and not one has any damage

I've lived in a lot of houses with landlord specials before trust me this doesn't hold a candle to what I've seen 😂

😁👍

Well a few reasons for me anyway I'm not saying anyone should or shouldn't do anything but I wouldn't want to get it in my grout lines and risk it oozing out because it would be a nightmare to get off of the tile and also they would be a whole lot of wasted material rather than just individually sticking them. With Subway tile or something along those lines it's not near as tedious as it looks in the video and honestly it wasn't that tedious for what I did either. Most of the time I had one guy putting the glue on faster than I could put them on the wall

@MrNathaneasterling that's why u use a v notch traw and nothing will ozz out bro

You would think, but actually I've done this technique quite a few times and did tests beforehand, V notching liquid nails didn't hold up so I started over with a different v-notch trial that was thicker still didn't hold up very well and also gets all over everything. Not to mention I would rather throw away the tools than try to clean that stuff off my tools again I 😂

The wall insulation is cellulose below in. So the machine that does the blow in has around a 2 and 1/2-in pipe that has to fit well into the void in the wall and then you also have to have enough room for the air to escape out of the wall while the machine is working

th-cam.com/video/2br2hLuH64Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=A9t0mWH2dbXp-lEi This it how I would do it, I'm demonstrating on a wall good it should work perfectly fine on the ceiling. Working overhead and on a ladder is never fun just be careful when you're up there, 😁👍

😁👍

😁👍

Thanks 😁👍

My body work background has always consisted of replacing the whole panel if it was too bad or hail damage repair. Or the tried and true badge of Honor approach where I just don't care enough to repair it lol 😆 but I'll keep this in mind for next time 😁👍

@@MrNathaneasterling Fortunately I had a car I could only improve even if I screwed it up. It’s great for places maybe rust has eaten it away like lower quarter panels, behind wheels where there isn’t much behind it. It’s more my cup of tea rather than cutting and trying to form metal and welding it then body filler. Fill it, sand it, prime and paint. Things go much smoother when you don’t give a shit. lol

@@RushWorkingMan 😂

I still have this example board and it's perfectly fine more than a year and a half later, I've also done this patch in my own house the same way that has been there for about 3 years now also just fine. The only reason drywall needs to be taped is because of drywall mud that is not setting type. The drying type mud shrinks very significantly the setting type shrinks a very small amount and only when it is setting

I hate to tell you, but it works like a charm. I have videos on my channel that are the "correct way" and that is what I would recommend but this way worked just fine, no tape, no shrinkage because it was hot mud and I still have that example board lying around and it's doing just fine. I've actually done a couple patches this way IRL and they are also doing just fine. If you didn't like this video you'll really hate my foam patch video 😂 I hope you don't take what I'm saying as being rude I'm honestly just having a conversation with you 😁👍

😂 thanks 😁👍

Thank you I really appreciate that. I have other videos on ways that I would highly suggest over this way but this is just one of those things I did when I was in a bind and most of the patches are way up on the wall about 4 in from the ceiling so yes if someone were to directly poke them it would probably give right in but so far it's been like 5 years I still own that house, been through multiple renters and not one poke has happened 😂 😁👍

I should have for the video. Honestly I know those will just rip downward with too much weight just because I've seen it before. And they're not rated for a very high weight anyway but those are better every day of the week for hanging pictures and what not then anything else in my opinion. Very permanent yet leaves a very small hole if you want to take it down. 😁👍

@@MrNathaneasterling Hi, I appreciate your fast response! I'm currently looking at both the 30lb and 50lb rated versions, and was really looking to find any sort of load testing to validate the rating, or disprove it. I haven't been able to find anyone showing a fail as of yet. I've only found the odd comment from a few folks that said the same as you, but no real tests showing it. Usually if something sucks really bad and doesn't deliver, there's usually a review somewhere proving it. I like the idea of these, especially if I have a bunch of big pictures to hang. I like the idea of minimizing damage to the walls.

@trevinated well I can tell you the ones that kind of look like golf tees and are green I definitely do not recommend. But for the most part my general rule of thumb is if it's too heavy to use a Hercules hook figure out a way to use a toggle bolt. They are by far the best way to hang a heavy items other than putting a screw directly into a stud behind the drywall. If you can do that then you can hang whatever you'd like. When it comes down to it, a screw in a stud #1 toggle bolt #2 and Hercules hook for any lightweight stuff... All of that would be my opinion on the matter 😁👍

@@MrNathaneasterling I used those gold tee looking ones before. Never again! those really did suck. Thanks for your input and efforts! Cheers

That's awesome, this comment made my day! 😁👍

Spitting facts! 😁👍

Cheers 😁👍

I'm not sure if you're saying it's not worth the trouble or you would do it differently but to each their own. You could also untie them and do it that way but that's a lot of trouble if you ask me. Either way let me know what you mean 😁👍

I've never thought about that, I guess the reason I use the tape was to keep everything very contained as much as possible and to make sure the foam did what I wanted. So you just spray the foam cut it flush and speckle? Or hot mud I assume

Thanks! it has its place but definitely not a replacement for patching drywall the normal way

I would say it would probably be fine. You could always do a few test pieces leave it for a few days to dry fully and go from there. Remember backsplashes are hardly ever even touched so you're not looking at a whole lot of wear and tear on them.

@@MrNathaneasterling thanks!

If I get waters inside my walls I feel like I would have a lot more issues than my patches

Out of curiosity what do you think is wrong with doing it this way? (Honest question not trying to be rude or anything please don't take it that way) the one close to the floor was covered by a large piece of window trim and all the rest of them were about 5" or less from the ceiling, they've been there for about 5 years now with multiple renters going through the house and not one patch has had an issue so far. Not trying to say that it's the right way or anything but I am wondering what the big deal is that people have with it.

Thanks I appreciate your comment! 😁👍

The patches have been there for more than 4 years and not one of them has jumped out of the wall cracked or anything I still own that house and I also don't work for other people. The reason I did it that way is because I got a quote for thousands of dollars to do that repair and wouldn't have been done for months. I didn't say this was the right way to do it or the most perfect way to do it it was just the way I did it and it worked just fine. You should watch my other videos if you would like to know how to repair drywall the correct way but nobody watches those

@@MrNathaneasterling, i will check out your other videos

Thank you sir I appreciate it 😁👍

😁👍

Thanks, I appreciate it 😁👍

Thanks, I really appreciate it 😁👍

For sure, I usually don't go to the trouble with the plastic blinds but with the wooden blinds that's how I do it. The plastic blinds I usually end up opening more problems than solving when I take them apart much 🤣 😁👍

Glad to help 😁👍

You can find them at big box stores like Home Depot and Lowe's but if you can't find them there or it's not an option for you I do have a link in the description for them on Amazon as well

It will definitely not, if I were you I would use this method instead. th-cam.com/video/2br2hLuH64Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zd3OMpEGn9E6ebDt That will give you a piece of wood behind the patch that will be a great anchor point for your towel rack and fix your problem 100% seems a little intimidating but it's a pretty easy project. If you have any questions feel free to ask me anything 😁👍

Also depending on how badly the towel rack got pulled out from the wall there are some drywall anchors that might be able to be used as well. Look up toggle bolts and see if that's something you think might help I have a video on my channel about them too

@@MrNathaneasterling Thank you so much!!

Glad to help!

Glad to help, I would have switched to hot mud if I were doing this exact same project again instead of spackle. And personally this is the method I prefer over anything if you're interested 😁👍 th-cam.com/video/K_KTbPnlXnc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6w4tH_X74g5uBu7i

No it's the house I spent my life savings on to buy, I lived in it for many years and would still be living there if we didn't need the extra room for a baby's room. It's the house I carried my wife over the threshold of after we got married so it means a lot to me. We moved from that house in 2019 (when I made that video) and still no issues with any of those patches.

That looks great idea but I wouldn’t do that. But to each is own. That’s your house personal preference I guess but that is smart but crazy at the same time.

😂 It's been years but I think the reason for the 4-in holes was to be able to maneuver the blower somewhat and also make the corner into the walk cavity. Honestly if I had to do it over again I would just cut a strip all the way across the room and just patch it with a large strip of drywall like a 3-in or 4-in strip of drywall

This was more along the lines of the "I got multiple quotes for around $20 (x150) a hole and then I had a bunch of people that came out and just didn't want to do it so I did it myself and it's been 5 years and it's still perfectly fine... Special, but yes I still own that house so I am the landlord so either one works 😂

Took the comment out my hands 😂

😂🤣😂🤣

Thanks 😁👍

Thanks 😁👍

I'm not sure I know what you're asking, could you elaborate?

I’m sure it weight more than if you were just to put it in the bag to storage it. It weight more but saves you space.

I agree, if you accidentally bump the button on the front and don't realize, the door will not open and you think you have a problem. It should open the door at the beginning of the cycle so it can get rid of any soap that was put in and just lable it Rinse Only (don't add soap) or something along those lines.

Glad to help 😁👍

Glad to help, this method is good for certain applications for sure 😁👍
