When skimming full walls, I roll the drywall mud on with a paint roller then go back over it with ur biggest drywall knife, saves a lot of time from having to apply the mud with a knife. And u get a more even coat of mud using a roller.. love ur videos
You don't need a drywall screw gun. Only if you're a professional 8 hour a day 270 days a year drywaller do you need a drywall screw gun. I'm sure other commenters have suggested that all you need are drywall screw tips for your regular drill or impact driver. That's what I use and they work great. Dewalt and Bosch make some, as I'm sure they're are others.
A great technique that knocks out the drywall skim coat faster and more consistently would be to use a paint roller. Thin your mud down and use a thick nap roller. Roll the mud on like paint and use a taping knife to smooth everything out :) Wonderful for beginners, especially! Also always helps to seal the exposed paper with a primer like a can of B-I-N to prevent blistering. Great job, Mike! Love what you do.

Just a little tip about a drywall drill... It's not worth it. Just get the drywall dimpler bit. It has a ring that prevents you from sinking too far. It's also just a couple bucks.
@@ModernBuilds best practice is to dial in the clutch on the drill. This makes the dimpler much more effective. I think on the ryobi I use it's like 18 on the clutch. Hope it works well for you! Love the new flip series!
If you ever do more drywall install work but don’t want to buy a drywall screw gun (because they can be pricey). I highly recommend getting a drywall screw setter bit. They are incredibly useful. They have a magnetic to hold the screw on the bit and a spring so when you go a certain depth it “pops” to stop the screw from going deeper.
You should prime the the walls where the paper has come off and also add a small amount of water to your bucket and use a drill with a paddle bit to mix it well. Your arms will thank you for that and it will be easier to float those walls
There's actually a drywall screw attachment you can get for a regular drill. It's cheap and works pretty well if you're only doing a little. If you're putting up a lot it's better to just get the screwgun.
Hey Mike, I'm told you have to prime drywall areas where the paper has torn off otherwise the joint compound bubbles up in those spots....keep us posted on how your method works.
Glad I got to incorporate some of my skim coat skills that I gained from the Joshua Tree renovation on this project! Had an error in the first upload, my bad on having to re-upload, thanks for the support!! 😁
I'm just going to have to see the finished project; these individual videos showing what you're doing really don't interest me personally, but good luck in your efforts!!
I'm 7:30 into the video and this doesn't look great. The bare drywall paper is bleeding through I'm pretty sure because a sealer wasn't used beforehand.
Love how much faith you put in us, your viewers, that we'll be able to accomplish the stuff you've done. Maybe it's misplaced faith, but always appreciated! 😁
not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, and it's hard to tell just how "lumpy" the texture still is. But, i have seen people water down their mud a little and use a paint roller to roll on a skim coat then come back with a wide trowel and smooth it down.
don't get a gun just for dry wall screws unless you are planning on taking up drywall full time, they sell drywall screw bits for impact/drill. any time you have a new bucket of mud it doesn't hurt to mix in a cup or two of water and mix it with a paddle mixer it will soften the mud up so its easier on your wrists and smoother finish
Primo content, Mike! Being that you're in Joshua, do you think an investment property there would have a decent ROI if rented out exclusively on Airbnb? Thanks.
@@ModernBuilds Exactly what I was hoping to hear. I've been looking at properties in the area but I live in Denver. I would need to find someone there that's reliable and professional to manage it for me.
Yea, I was watching then it disappeared lol. But glad it's back up and have been enjoying the multiple series. Gets me motivated to buy and renovate a home

I would open that linen closet in to the bathroom and seal up the old door opening in the hallway
Need to prime all the bare patches with shellac primer before mud

You can buy a drywall bit for drill drivers
Love your big energy. 😃

I accidentally had an error in the first upload... it's at the end, but I'll put it up front next time!
Yup saw it in the end✌️

Getting one of those!!
Please have calling and wall testing for safe or not, live to see your video❤
Uhhh..your bathroom needs the green drywall brother...
It sure does.
Is there special moisture resistant drywall for near baths?
Yes. I know it as aquarock.
you're doing an awesome job. how has your experience been with doing this flip using ryobi tools?
Is there no electrical box for the lights?

Interesting watch but... So. Much. Shouting.
That drywall sander is SO COOL!
Big time!!! Makes projects like these way faster!
Just sayin this dude sounds like one of the characters from the movie rock a doodle.
Bosch make a drywall bit that works on any drill so you don't need another tool.

Where's the Paper tape at your seams?.
try adding a bit of water to your joint compound and mix it well. that trowel will work a lot better and you'll work a lot quicker
Couldn’t have said it better myself, you’re a pro Dominguez 🤝

Error what error lol
You've got drive and skill. As long as you don't burn yourself out, I see an extremely profitable future for you my dude.
i hate square space... how many videos u have in this ? 🤔😔🥵
I'm just going to have to see the finished project; these individual videos showing what you're doing really don't interest me personally, but good luck in your efforts!!
There’s been a lot of drywall and framing work so far, we’ll be doing different steps soon!
@@ModernBuilds Sounds good. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!!
I was told you should always paint the raw paper with primer before skim coating. Wondering how valid my source was bc this looks great!
Same🤔
I'm 7:30 into the video and this doesn't look great. The bare drywall paper is bleeding through I'm pretty sure because a sealer wasn't used beforehand.
Same. I’ve used the Kilz oil-based primer and never had any issues.
I just typed up the same thing in a question. I’ll delete it 😂. I believe it cuts down on the blistering.
Anywhere the paper is torn you should paint with a primer (kilz makes a spray can that's perfect for this) before coating
Love how much faith you put in us, your viewers, that we'll be able to accomplish the stuff you've done. Maybe it's misplaced faith, but always appreciated! 😁
If you look up "drywall screw setter" you can find some bits that are designed for drywall screws, and prevent it to blow through.
Shouldn't you seal the ripped paper first?
My first thought too. He should be using Zenser's Peel Stop on those areas.
I bet Mike can make a mean cream cheese bagel with all the skim coat jobs he's done 😂
id rather hang dry wall instead of a skim coat less mud used and i find it faster
Where's the "It's My First Flip" intro jingle?

Did you check for lead based paint? Don't want you to be breathing that in.
Hello friend. I've been following since I've seen you on Rachel Metz' channel. Your an awesome teacher. Many blessings. OneLove ❣️
You are very gifted at what you do !!
So what happened with the old drywall sander? Why’d you need to buy a new one?
It’s in Joshua tree, this renovation is in Oklahoma City so I got a couple tools new that I left in CA
Nice Work.

Primo content, Mike!
Being that you're in Joshua, do you think an investment property there would have a decent ROI if rented out exclusively on Airbnb? Thanks.
I’ve got friends that make 5-7k per month on properties that would rent for about 1,500 a month normally
@@ModernBuilds Exactly what I was hoping to hear. I've been looking at properties in the area but I live in Denver. I would need to find someone there that's reliable and professional to manage it for me.
Grat vídeo! I have a question: Do you clean the walls after sanding to take out the dust? If so, do you simply use a rug and water?
I plan on just sweeping them with a broom before paint or texture. I’ve seen people use a shop vac also
Lots to learn, but no mistakes. Well done, great work.
Yea, I was watching then it disappeared lol. But glad it's back up and have been enjoying the multiple series. Gets me motivated to buy and renovate a home
very good, your video is very enjoyable as well as your description as to what you are doing , thanks for great content
Y'all will do anything to avoid drywall, it's really not that bad 😂 Personally I hate painting more.
Could get the drywall dimpler bit. Works fairly well for small projects. Thing DeWalt makes one
Fantastic videography, I could watch this all day!
Nice job
Re-upload??
yes read his pinned comment
Excellent job, again! Keep up the good work!

deja vu? 🤔
YESSSS I love this series :)
What happened? Another of the same?
Great video……texture walls 🤢 but maybe it is better for rental property? It gods sins
I do not recommend anyone do this method. It is extremely cheap and prone to chipping over time as the house flexes.
Enjoy watching all your videos we should become friends
