Jeff was born to teach.....period! I just stumbled upon this while surfing and wasn't searching for drywall instructions. His presentation, enthusiasm, personality and obvious love for what he does, kept me watching the entire episode! Great job Jeff. Keep them coming!!!
Yes good point. 5 mins of what We are not going to do in this video. I actually turned one off @ three mins in when the guy said "in this video these are the things I'm not going to do in this video. Oh yes, building speaker crossovers video. "The video was about the host." There are far too many of them I'm noticing, going on and on like best girlfriends, suddenly you are two, three minutes in and have not even mentioned the topic, but yes now we know you're having a gee wiz jiffy blond hair day. Definitely this video could be used as a template for creating a quality video, that does not chase people away, make them angry for wasting their time. It especially ticks me off when content has nothing to do with the description. Who are these people? Where do their educations come from. a closet in a basement? I' like that you pointed out, the quality of the production. It certainly is worth mentioning.
When you’re running a roto zip to cut rock on an inside feature, go clockwise and it’s a much cleaner finish. Clockwise to cut an inside, counter clockwise to cut around the outside of something.
I want to thank you so much Jeff. I've completed a project when the person I hired left the job. I'm 64yo and did the work myself. I so pleased, I didn't know it was in my. Thanks again Jeff!
It's amazing how much you have taught me and many others, basically for free. From the simple tricks yet really useful to the expert level knowledge. Thank you good man.
this was like a college class lesson on drywall. thank you for the free lesson. i watched the whole video nothing but professional straight to the point tips no foolishness.
My background is in engineering and I have tackeled major renovations, plumbing, rewiring (both mains and low voltage networks), cabinetry, and construction over the years but drywall installing/patching repairs have always been a substandard product of my work. Your tips, tricks, and having the right tools have got me on track, not perfect yet but way to go! Great channel. Thanks.
That is the best drywall video I have ever seen. I have done a ton of dry wall in the past, I have worked with professional crews often; joining the crew to get them out of my way so I can hang my doors and run my trim. They got 1 day. I got one day and the carpet goes in. dry wall crew was usually 4-5 guys, often adding myself. I ran Door and detail usually with 1 traniee, often by myself. Hanging anywhere from 9 to 18 doors. 2 to 4 bedrooms, 2 baths often. The point is we had to fly; there was no taking breaks most of the time. You start and you don't stop until the job is finished. I learned a lot of tricks from all those guys; however if we had used all the techniques in this video we could have spent the afternoon doing whatever. paid by the hour I guess we were better off. I'll never do dry wall by the hour again that's for sure. I would say that every "pro" dry waller I have ever met could benefit from this video. Now my only question is how much should I charge to do the room you did this video in, paint ready? I'm in Oregon. Go Ducks.
Just started painting and doing drywall work and your videos have been clutch! Always enjoyed them, but this one shows just how practical and BOSS you are! Keep up the good work 👌🏾
You are an f-ing rock star. I have learned more from you in 90 minutes than I ever have from ANYONE else. I have been making things so much harder for myself when doing drywall than they had to be. You are my new favorite DIY guide. Keep up the awesome work!
Great video 👍👍👍I did drywal before but now after watching your video I am going to be much better in my next drywal job .thanks for sharing your expertise😊😊👌👌
You are so easy to understand and your style of teaching is so encouraging. I’ve never done this and you make it so easy to follow. Keep up the great job and thank you so much! God bless you.
Jeff, I watch your first video on the renovation of a bathroom and since then I have been enjoying your detail videos so much. Keep up the great sprit that you enjoy teaching many of us.
Jeff I don't go around telling TH-cam channels that "I love you", but here, I do! You're time and effort in teaching, showing is very appreciated. Takes the mystery out and thus the majority of the fear. Well done on this video. Alot of time and effort you went through to create an excellent list and tools. I have used the California patch several times. Brilliant.

Pro tip for the drywall tape reel - if you are right handed, you will apply the tape from right to left, with the tape reel on your left hip, pulling from the bottom. I've got 30 years of experience as a taper, it will feel smoother and more natural. If you're left handed, reverse this, but always pull from the bottom. The advantage is, you won't have to pre-pull tape off the reel. You pull directly off, and it's smooth every time.
Hey Jeff, quick tip for the roto-zip, aka cut out tool. When cutting on the inside go clock ways, cutting on outside counter clock ways. The spin will help keep you on what you are cutting. Good way to remember is to just think, internal clock. Always helps me remeber which way to go.
JEFF....YOU R INCORRECT.....YOU R A "ROCK STAR"... VERY FEW PEOPLE NO MATTER HOW TALENTED THEY R IN THEIR WORK DON'T HAVE COMMUNICATION ABILITIES OR TEACHING SKILLS. YOU R A NATURAL FOR RENOVATIONS AND AN EVEN MORE OF A NATURAL WHEN IT COMES TO TEACHING...COMMUNICATING. TEACHING IS AN ART FORM...YOU R PICASSO BOTH IN ABILITY AND IN TEACHING. GOOD LUCK.
Thank you for showing all of these 'tricks'! My business of repairing DIY jobs is booming! The more and more people that follow these 'tricks', the more phone calls that I get to come and repair the job.
I know you live in Ottawa, I live in Windsor (Southern most point of Ontario), I stumbled across your channel by mistake and honestly, I am hooked!! I have been binge watching all your vids !! Please keep em coming !!
Finding these videos has really taught me NOT to be afraid of things like taping and mudding. This series is the first to explain HOW it is supposed to be done, and WHY! Cheers! Basement reno from bare concrete almost done so oldest can get out of my living room, and take up the Troll accommodations of the proverbial 30 year old in the basement...
You sir ... Are a legend. Phenomenal teaching and method. To the point. I legit just watched 48min of the entire video. Being able to keep the viewer interested in this day in age is a huge accomplishment. Great video. Thank you so much!
Jeff teaches so well and follow him and you cann't go wrong especially when you are a novice/beginner. Amazing teaching skills and well rounded personality. Appreciate his contribution to youtube content.
You so much remind me of my uncle and the many summers I have spent at their town building stuff and using sooooo many rules of thumb. Boy I wish I could go back to these good old days.
Thanks for the tutorial. I use to hang sheetrock for years. I haven't done it in about 5 years now. I thought I'd watch to see what I can learn, just in case I have to ever do it again. I like the Rotozip tool. that would have saved me a ton of time. The 3M Spray is an excellent idea...another time saver. With the inside corner mudding, brilliant idea. I wish I had that back in the day. Also with the inside cornering, I used the inside corner tool 95% of the time...with mesh tape or drywall tape. I kind of miss hanging drywall, but then again, not. Believe it or not, I use to have fun sheetrocking, Taping, Mudding & Texturing. I was also the Hot Mud King. I was the 5 minute Hot Mud Man. Mix & go, Mix & go, Mix & go no time to waste. Thanks again.
I've been a commercial/residential painter for 20 years. Last year I decided to open up my own company, I'm doing well, however, I added handyman to my license in order to do more work I wasn't able to market for. Your video's have been a common sense approach of how to do complex projects. I love how you approach every project with ease and confidence, all I want to say is thank you for all of this invaluable content. Your content will help me in Bellingham, WA aquire success in both client satisfaction, adding to my own high standards. Thank you. With best regards, Josh
Jeff, you are the best on TH-cam for DIYers!!! Not many people have the time and patients to do what you do for us. I love, love, love all your videos. You saved me a "TON" of money and "TIME" with your tips and tricks. I love the fact that you name and list all your tools & supplies, it helps a lot and with a dash of humor that you have, makes it all worth while to watch all your videos. Thanks and happy your my personal contractor via TV..lol
this is the best mudding video I have seen with the way you smooth the mud without having to go back and sand it down. Thank you for sharing this and you got one more like!
I've been hangin rock for about 15 years in Phoenix workin with the real mexican hangers. This guy is awesome and his tips are true to life and real world examples. If your a new hanger listen to this guy he knows what he's talking about.
I've never put drywall up in my entire life but here I am. I don't even know the basics but now I know to use the metal J brackets around windows. Thank you.
Jeff, your tips and tricks from all of your videos have helped me tremendously! Keep up the great work with your videos 👍. You are so good at explaining DIY’s... you should have your own Reno show on HGTV. Love watching your channel 👌
As a man in the same industry....people listen to this guy, hes knows what hes doing!! I would add: Buy the smaller inside cornering trowel Keep your tools clean while mudding 2 screws in the field and keep the others in the bevel which you will taped over.... only on the wall not the ceiling Less seams the better
I am a DIYer and have done more projects than most. Drywall is my nemesis. Your video was EXCELLENT. Kudos and thank you. BTW - I never comment on these things. but you were worth it.
This has become my go-to resource. Jeff is the only one I trust any more. Plus, I can actually replicate what his techniques in our house. So very well done!
I am a General Contractor. I have never seen so much info packed clearly and concisely into 45 minutes. Great job. Jeff seems to have a thing against electricians, LOL😂.
Started my first job as a Carpenter a few months ago and these tips have been so helpful and even managed to give my 30+ year Master Carpenter a few extra tricks.
Jeff, as a young man I drilled water wells breathing in the rock dust for years. Dust will fill your lungs and make breathing difficult for you later on. You can throw away a dirty air filter but not your dirty clogged lungs. It will catch up with you. Use a mask. I now cough quickly near any dust. Good work except for your own safety.
In the beginning you got me, but when you used mesh tape for corners, you failed. Never use mesh tape for angles! I've been working as a taper since I was a kid and paper tape last 10x longer and the finish is cleaner.
Gluing on paper corner bead.. might work in Canada but in Florida it ALWAYS fails eventually. Same with the guys who glue paper tape and plastic corner bead😂.. it always fails.
From another pro taper, and I was teaching a new taper, I would agree with you Jose. This is not the method I would teach to a trainee, however, for beginners who may only need these skills for one project, his method actually makes sense. It is SO easy for a rookie to mess up the install on a paper inside corner, especially without a pro beside them. If not, and the paper corner wasn't done right, no amount of spackle is going to fix blisters and round corners. Its the one thing a "Do-it-yourself" taper is most likely to mess up. IF you have never done it before, and IF you don't have a pro to show you what you are doing wrong, this is a really good method, but you must press the mesh tape tight, one side at a time, and then use the corner trowel with 90 minute mud. Any deviation from this, and it is bound to fail. Is this method better than than the method pro-tapers use? No, but if you don't have the pro skills, this method is a little more idiot proof. As far as Danny's comment, yeah I've never seen that for paper corner bead and I'm real skeptical. It works well for plastic corner bead here in New Jersey. It may have more to do with your climate Danny. When the heat is on, you always have to be careful not to get too far ahead of yourself. If your mud or glue is drying, before you get the chance to bed your tape or corner bead in, you're screwed.
Your work is always so neat. Like those guys who make the TH-cam videos :) More seriously, as a licensed GC who minimizes subs, you’ve unselfishly shared enough gold for a series of good videos. DIYers take note, you also make it look easy. My ultimate compliment.
Thank you Jeff !!! For beginner like myself (DYIer) - I really appreciate the time, effort and dedication for creating and putting these videos here. Thanks so much !!!
Man, so much better and more informative than the last drywall video I watched. Plus, the guy presenting comes across as genuine, experienced and not doing this for the "show" but for the benefit of the viewer. Liked and subscribed, my dood. Can't wait to show off the new tricks to my boss!
Some great tips. I've learned a few things, but in my experience, I've found that mesh tape in corners always pulls away over time and rounds the corner. Good vid though. Thanks
This man seems very personable as well as professional and he matches the description of those that I enjoy working with, he also creates great content - I appreciate all the tips and tricks🤙
Wow! After years of amateur DIY drywall struggles, I'm watching this vid, rolling my eyes, because "Holy sh*t! THAT'S how to do it!!" Thanks, Jeff. Next project will be oh-so-much better.
Mesh tape is alot quicker but it is more prone to cracking, paper tape takes a little more work but it holds up in the long run if you dont want to be fixing lots of cracks 2-3 years down the road use paper tape, i have been in the drywall trade for 30 years i can say from experience paper tape is your best bet to a better drywall job
paper tape has the advantage of superior performance in a variety of situations and is relatively cheap compared to mesh. The down side is you need to set the tape in mud and wait 24 hrs before you can do your first coat. The mesh tape costs a little more but since it is applied with a self adhesive you can mix a quick setting compound and do the first coat right away. if you are on a small job then you can also do the second coat in the same day. that puts you 2 days ahead of a paper tape project.
Here is a link to my comprehensive drywall training video for beginners. cheers! th-cam.com/video/W-p7pvnMAq8/w-d-xo.html

Less seams the better
Very interesting. Been in the trade for 30+ years. Never saw a professional use mesh tape for corners.
Because professionals don't
Same here, use paper tape and corner trowels are ridiculous ! A novice will make a mess following these instructions...lol
I've been in the trades for 28 years and all I use is mesh tape in the corners.
I am a DIYer and have done more projects than most. Drywall is my nemesis. Your video was EXCELLENT. Kudos and thank you. BTW - I never comment on these things. but you were worth it.

This has become my go-to resource. Jeff is the only one I trust any more. Plus, I can actually replicate what his techniques in our house. So very well done!
I am a General Contractor. I have never seen so much info packed clearly and concisely into 45 minutes. Great job. Jeff seems to have a thing against electricians, LOL😂.
Started my first job as a Carpenter a few months ago and these tips have been so helpful and even managed to give my 30+ year Master Carpenter a few extra tricks.
Jeff, as a young man I drilled water wells breathing in the rock dust for years. Dust will fill your lungs and make breathing difficult for you later on. You can throw away a dirty air filter but not your dirty clogged lungs. It will catch up with you. Use a mask. I now cough quickly near any dust. Good work except for your own safety.
Outstanding! Thank you for taking the time to make a video for others to learn from.
Trap door for a junction box. Amazing. Exactly what I needed for moving a bathroom light. Subscribed.
booyah, this one is pure gold. All the right tools, all the right tricks and techniques all in one video.
Man you are so on point when using your cutout tool it pisses me off lol the cutout by the steps was so smooth. Love your channel!
In the beginning you got me, but when you used mesh tape for corners, you failed. Never use mesh tape for angles! I've been working as a taper since I was a kid and paper tape last 10x longer and the finish is cleaner.
Gluing on paper corner bead.. might work in Canada but in Florida it ALWAYS fails eventually. Same with the guys who glue paper tape and plastic corner bead😂.. it always fails.
From another pro taper, and I was teaching a new taper, I would agree with you Jose. This is not the method I would teach to a trainee, however, for beginners who may only need these skills for one project, his method actually makes sense. It is SO easy for a rookie to mess up the install on a paper inside corner, especially without a pro beside them. If not, and the paper corner wasn't done right, no amount of spackle is going to fix blisters and round corners. Its the one thing a "Do-it-yourself" taper is most likely to mess up. IF you have never done it before, and IF you don't have a pro to show you what you are doing wrong, this is a really good method, but you must press the mesh tape tight, one side at a time, and then use the corner trowel with 90 minute mud. Any deviation from this, and it is bound to fail. Is this method better than than the method pro-tapers use? No, but if you don't have the pro skills, this method is a little more idiot proof.
As far as Danny's comment, yeah I've never seen that for paper corner bead and I'm real skeptical. It works well for plastic corner bead here in New Jersey. It may have more to do with your climate Danny. When the heat is on, you always have to be careful not to get too far ahead of yourself. If your mud or glue is drying, before you get the chance to bed your tape or corner bead in, you're screwed.
Jeff Is the Best DYI Teacher!!!!! 🏆🥇
Thank you very kindly!
You sir are fantastic. Not only at your job but at teaching/training here on TH-cam. Thats a skill itself.
Thank you for some great tips.
Your work is always so neat. Like those guys who make the TH-cam videos :)
More seriously, as a licensed GC who minimizes subs, you’ve unselfishly shared enough gold for a series of good videos.
DIYers take note, you also make it look easy. My ultimate compliment.
This helped alot. U explain stuff well!
I learn so much thank you! Please wear safety glasses it would be a good example. Keep the vids coming . Great stuff
mesh on the inside corners, people never do this use paper mesh is for flats and butt's but you need to use 90 to fill it.
Viseo FPV, I thought WTF? No one meshes corners! Glad I’m not the only one that saw how wrong some of this was.
Wrong. People mesh tape inside corners; I'm one of them. I never use paper; always mesh tape. I can't stand paper tape. 90 minute's a must, though.
Thank you Jeff !!! For beginner like myself (DYIer) - I really appreciate the time, effort and dedication for creating and putting these videos here. Thanks so much !!!
Man, so much better and more informative than the last drywall video I watched. Plus, the guy presenting comes across as genuine, experienced and not doing this for the "show" but for the benefit of the viewer. Liked and subscribed, my dood. Can't wait to show off the new tricks to my boss!
30:06 Correct. Square, plumb, and level are targets.
Some great tips. I've learned a few things, but in my experience, I've found that mesh tape in corners always pulls away over time and rounds the corner. Good vid though. Thanks
Keep up the good work, Dude. That is an awesome video all around! This coming from someone who is a drywall perfectionist.
totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!
You have become my ABSOLUTE "GO-TO" guy when I need advice. THANK YOU
This man seems very personable as well as professional and he matches the description of those that I enjoy working with, he also creates great content - I appreciate all the tips and tricks🤙
Just found your page and I think I just fell in love lol
"A little dust will not kill ya, ... I've got tear ducts." good line!
Then I think he said "a little window washer solution in my face"
Amazing video 😊
Thanks Dean, i hope this helps!
Are you related to that crazy Macpherson family that put their hired hand in chains then hacked him to bits with an ax?
Thanks man, every time I watch one of your videos I learn something very useful. Many Thanks
Wow! After years of amateur DIY drywall struggles, I'm watching this vid, rolling my eyes, because "Holy sh*t! THAT'S how to do it!!"
Thanks, Jeff. Next project will be oh-so-much better.

"Yep, full of dust!" lol. Love the real world examples.
Paper vs. mesh tape seems to be a huge debate. Can you discuss the pros and cons of each?
Mesh tape is alot quicker but it is more prone to cracking, paper tape takes a little more work but it holds up in the long run if you dont want to be fixing lots of cracks 2-3 years down the road use paper tape, i have been in the drywall trade for 30 years i can say from experience paper tape is your best bet to a better drywall job
paper tape has the advantage of superior performance in a variety of situations and is relatively cheap compared to mesh. The down side is you need to set the tape in mud and wait 24 hrs before you can do your first coat.
The mesh tape costs a little more but since it is applied with a self adhesive you can mix a quick setting compound and do the first coat right away. if you are on a small job then you can also do the second coat in the same day. that puts you 2 days ahead of a paper tape project.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Is there a reason not to use quick setting compound with paper tape? Wouldn't that be the same time saving as mesh?
@@tsfarken
no there is not
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY So quantity over quality?
Subscribed. You literally make me less nervous about so many repairs. Thank you for doing these videos.
