More thoughts on the project: We really thing that patching and repairing drywall is something anyone can do! Little holes are particularly easy with spackle, but even using mesh patches, patching compound, and chunks of drywall weren't too hard! And it really does make a huge different in the appearance of your walls. Topped with a fresh coat of paint, it makes a huge difference for a beginner/easy project. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

(still figuring this one out 😂)
I'm here from your last video seeing Evan falling through the roof
I got linked to this video after watching a different video of yours. Guess which one :D?
The two of you giving people repair advice is a terrible joke. Just tell people to call a professional, you awful hacks!
@@KriticalMass2012 professionals make u pay so much so doing it on your own is better
Oh how this video was major foreshadowing for 2 years into the future
Hahaha, if only we had known 😂😭
wha what happend
Lara İpek when Evan fell through the ceiling, they looked up how to fix it and their video showed up
@@lrizzard evan fell through the attic ceiling
Why?
Thanks for the advice guys. I need to fix a hole I made before my mother comes home.
Glad to help out :) good luck +Javier Saldivar
hahaha
I'm sure this is the reason why most of us are watching this video 😂😂😂😂
ong same tho😭
Trying to tell u
anyone else watching this in 2020?? I fell in love with these two and their content
Yeah, but I’m only here for the directions
Yes !!!!!!!!!!!!👍🏽
Me too!!!
Yeah😊 rewatching this
Yeah who watches this for fun hahah
When I was 16 I was playing video games at my cousin's house and accidentally knocked a hole in his bedroom wall. My aunt and uncle weren't there, so we quickly improvised a wall patch... a piece of cardboard from a Coca Cola box and some joint compound. Worked like a charm because 15 years later my aunt and uncle are still none the wiser to what happened.
Haha that is amazing 👏👏👏
Really love how you're putting your videos together. The pace is perfect, they're fun and informative, and the overall production is excellent. Nice job!
Thank you Scott! We appreciate the kind words! Really try to keep the pacing quick enough to keep the video moving, but still spend enough time on each step to show how to do it.
I’ve been a subscriber for a couple years, and came across this video while working on a closet renovation. It’s crazy how far you’ve come with video production and just feeling more comfortable on camera.
So I usually watch you two play with resin, which is always fun. Was glad to see you take your ability to explain so anyone can follow (regardless of skill/experience level) to common household tasks. Please make some on plumbing next? Ha!
Just bought my first house, and the garage is just like yours. Can't wait to use what I've learned here to revamp it. Subscribed!
I love watching the old content and seeing the parts that would eventually define you both as content creators. You are both brilliant.
Thanks for making it look simple. I got a big hole to fill and that way such a relief to know I can fix it myself.
*foreshadowing*
Evan: would it be funny if I fell through the roof?
Also Evan: *falls through roof*
Thank you for you DIY home repair and rehab projects. I'm a single gal and you've given me the info and courage to tackle some projects that are in desperate need of being completed!
I always love going backwards on your videos. It's like we grew up together as friends and neighbors. Especially since I live close by.
Agreed! Painting really is the best part of the job.
definitely the most satisfying!
Truly a big help.
This is the highest quality video for fixing a dry wall.
Thank you very much for making this video, very helpful. I bought my first house and the former owner literally glued a painting over the hole in the drywall instead of patching it
Hopefully, my patch job will turn out alright
We just moved into a new house and I wanted to run some cable through my walls. I never knew how to patch drywall and this video made it so clear! I'm going to go to the hardware store today and grab some supplies. Thanks for such a simple and informative video!
you are two beautiful people, i enjoy your videos because of the creativity (that could have been me) and because of your positive energy.. i love it.. take care!
You guys are too cute!! Love your couple's DIY dynamic...so much more fun to be able to do home improvement projects together. :)
Aww thank you! Yes, WAY more fun to do this stuff together! Patching and painting by yourself isn't the most exciting thing but it's fun when you get to do it with your favorite human :D
Sounds fun but, what if I don't have anyone to do my projects with??
Miss17 Black then you cry yourself to sleep 😞
@@cy13nt that's what I do, pretty much every other day 😞😞
@@analog_wav I think you’re on to the next big idea- an app to pair people up for DIY projects lol
Good, informative video. You two are adorable. THANKS for including notes in the video description. So many people don't do this but it helps so much.
+sassy_sasarai thank you! Always happy to include useful additional info in the description 👍😁
Even after all this time and all the other videos your channel has made and the direction you’ve gone I still come back to this video with gratitude this is where you started. I literally love how well explained this video is and well formatted and easy to learn you made it.
Long time subscriber, but just wanted to express appreciation.
Thank You Evan and Katelyn, I needed help on how to repair a big ole hole in the utility room. You all are great demonstrators and I love how you work together!! So glad I found you because I will reference for all projects now since I'm big on Organization! ;)
This is soooo helpful! The little one car garage in the home I just bought (also TX) looks exactly like this, peeling drywall tape and all. Excited to tackle this project now before I move in!
Wow what a great garage makeover. I really liked the before and after comparison at the end. Great work and I can't wait to see more!
Thank you! Haha it was a MUCH needed makeover.
One of the best videos on TH-cam explaining and showing what I want to do and how to do it! Thanks.
I wasn't even looking for this, but it is genuinely helpful! My house has unfinished walls, so this is a life saver!
You can also store a wet roller and brushes in plastic bags, assuming they don't have holes. Pop them in the fridge, but don't ever let latex or other water based house paint freeze. I don't know exactly what happens, but the paint turns into something like cottage cheese and becomes useless. I think the paint solids start to congeal when the water is frozen out, and it never goes back to a smooth liquid state.
Oil based paint is my personal favorite. Because it dries slowly, it tends to level out very nicely and produces a very even surface. The downside is that it takes days to dry to the touch and months to fully cure. You have to get it right in one go, because once it starts to set up it does exactly what happens at 5:40. The paint oxodizes as it dries, so you wind up tearing and dragging around a very thin skin of drying paint on a mushy wet surface. You have to apply oil paint thinly and let it at least get to a tacky state before putting on another coat. If you get drips, you have to address them immediately. Rollers are pretty terrible for oil based paint because they don't lay down paint very evenly at the edges. With a brush you have 100% control and the better flow of oil paint makes it excellent for trim and detail work.
I'm glad that you didn't blame the paint immediately for the fail and chalked it up to a learning experience. To be honest, modern acrylic and latex paints are just as good as oil based paint now, in terms of durability. I still prefer oil for it's silkier feel, but better quality latex paint will last just as long.
That being said, Behr is complete garbage. My preferred brands are Pittsburgh and Benjamin Moore. Valspar and Olympic are alright for big box brands.
Really fabulous, simple and straightforward vid. Exactly what I needed - many thanks x
This video is so good. I just moved into an apartment that needed repairs on the walls and you guys explained everything.
This video was so helpful! Thanks for sharing all the tools/supplies you used! This is the best video I’ve found without all the fluff!
😁👍
Subbed! This video was exactly what I needed to fix a hole in my garage wall. 👍
+Gochujang Mamá thank you! And glad we could help 😊👍
Yeah same
Found your video looking for how to fix a giant hole in the drywall in my teenage son's room. I was pretty sure I could fix it myself, your video just proved it. Thank you for sharing your make over. Your garage looks great. Maybe after I fix the bedroom wall I will tackle making over our garage.
+April Rogers-Krick so glad we were able to help! It was an easier task than we expected too. Best of luck with your sons room and the garage!
Gorgeous results! Beginner tip: if you aren’t good at feathering, have a slightly damp rag to blend out the edges, or just be prepared to sand a little extra. No worries at all! 😅
I just finished painting my door (largely inspired by your videos btw, and also watching the front door makeover before for painting advice) and I spent hours trying to figure out what to do with my brush so I can pait the next coat tomorrow. didn't want to buy another brush or anything extra because I only have this one door to paint.
I just popped the brush in the freezer, I hope it works!
protip that i learned from home renovision, with nail/screw holes or tiny holes in your wall, make a divet directly on it either using a small hammer or the back of a nail punch tool. this way, your spackle/compound is recessed rather than "over" the hole and you won't have to feather it out too much to make it even. it's the same principle as when they install drywall and slightly divet in the head of a screw.
That's a great tip! Thank you!
Thank you! This is exactly the tutorial I've been needing!!!
Happy we could help!
Great stuff. Thx 4 sharing.
Very nice video straight to the point easy to follow. Thank you for making the video novice friendly.
Just watched your video. My son knocked a big whole in his wall and my husband wouldn't fix it now I can.... thanks to you. You guys are too cute...
Thank you! Your instructions were very precise and I was able to patch a hole in my wall myself!!! Yeah✌
For future reference, oil based paint goes super smooth on a door using mini rollers applying thick coats in straight lines from top to bottom of the door going from the hinges’ side towards the door handle’s side with the roller’s loose edge towards the side that you already painted (so the edge with the metal bit doing a bit of a L shape should be towards the side you need to pain because that is the side where you apply the most pressure on and therefore the side that creates the most streaks)... not sure that makes too much sense just reading it but if you try it out it will make more sense and you will get a perfect finish! Also I am super impressed my your patching skills, most home renovation channels got it wrong but you guys did everything right! As someone who worked in construction/renovation as a painter this makes me very very happy :)
Thanks for the tips!
This was so good! and I enjoyed watching you two do it together. Thank you. I'm going to try to repair two holes in my family room. Thank you.
Thank you! Good luck 😁👍
What a complimentary couple. Your home must be heaven.
Great video!
+Mr. Olkan thank you!
I think there are some awfully cute shots of you two at the end with the white tshirts on that I would frame for your kids! You two are adorable! 🥰🥰
You guys are friggin great!!! You got to the point told me what I needed to hear pluss you have me a list of everything I needed unlike the last 50+ videos I watched over this topic. Thank you so much and keep making hella fantastic videos ✌️&🖤
Good job and DAMN! that is a lot of work!
+sa-maker garage walls were our life for a little while (a long while!)
you have a fun little lady there! Thanks for tips on large hole.
I really like how before each kind of hole, you list all the items needed.
Thanks!
Thank youuuu I have a few holes in my walls to repair today and that explanation was very helpful 😊
Wow what a great and detailed video. Thanks!
This was EXTREMELY informative!! So very helpful ☺👏👏👏
Thanks for making this simple and very easy to follow. Side note, you guys are an adorable couple.
beautiful couple, i can see that you guys are new to youtube and the production quality is already up.
Aw thank you! Yes we just started here on TH-cam (though we've been DIY-ing for a long time!). Hopefully our production quality will continue to go up and up! Thank you for the encouragement :)
I like the video! Pro tip for any future projects. Fill the gaps with mud before you put any mesh tape on. Then place the mesh and use putty knife to sink it into the mud for a more snug patch.
Great video! Absolutely gave me confidence to do some drywall repair myself
That makes us happy to hear!
Dude thank you so much.. I had a HUGE hole in my wall -I put there in '06!- watched your video, got inspired by the simplistic layout of instructions, ran to home Depot .. and 5hrs later it's fix!
Ah that is so awesome to hear!! 👍👍
This is so detailed and helpful! 🙌🏽
I was playing football in the house and ran into a wall in my house, resulting in a huge hole.😂 I searched this video and immediately went to the hardware store. I managed to patch the hole before my father noticed! It only set me back about $37 for the supplies, Thanks for the helpful tips and info!
Great video! I like how you guys deliver the message, and have fun while doing it. Added humor makes the video more interesting to watch. Thanks for the video, as I'll be repairing a hole in my bathroom's drywall sometime in the near future!
+Jason Hale thank you! And good luck with your bathroom!
A tip I learned from my grandma to keep paint and rollers/paintbrushes from drying out is to place them all including the paint pan into a garbage bag and tie it up. I tried it and it kept the paint wet for over 2 weeks.
Great tutorial
It’s obvious that you two truly like and enjoy each other! That’s really nice to see and makes for a very good, entertaining video! Good information, good pace, good music. Again, from an old guy who’s been married for 39 years, it’s really nice to see! All the Best!
thank you so much! means a lot! and congrats on your 39 years :)
Amazing!!! Thank you so much!!!
Really good info..!! I never knew about drywall corner tape..well hot dam!! I will b getting some 4 sure!👍 👍😁
I bookmark this for keep this in mind for future to fix on wall. :) Thank you.
So much more helpful than the 30+ min videos on here. Thank you!
I watched this 4 years ago just cause now I’m watching it again to fix a 2x3 foot hole! Thanks E&K
I like what you did here. My garage/workshop walls are textured/finished so it won't look great if I ever have to do a repair like this but I am glad I learned the technique from you two. Keep up the great work!
+Brandon's Bees thank you!! I think they do make texture sprays (usually sold at Home Depot near the drywall repair stuff) so depending on your texture, it could still work!
One of my favorite things to do when I find a channel I really like is to go back and see what their first videos looked like. Your videos are great and this is not a criticism but I am glad yall went from HGTV to let's put googly eyes on the trash can and build an entire counter top out resin that looks like a beach. Keep up the great work I am enjoying the vids and learning a lot.
Awesome video. Because of you I can now fix holes in drywall, with no schooling whatsoever!
Yay! Good luck! 👍👍
Thank you, very helpful! We're going to try to fix our wall.
Awesome video, very informative right to the point. Thanx!
Someone fell through our garage ceiling... time for a repair!
Good luck! 👍👍
"Hey, Ryan!"
"Hey, Billy!"
I'm about 80% with my garage re-do. Thanks for the inspiration!!
You're on the home stretch! Good luck!
Great job; thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Omg you guys have come so far! Very happy for you guys!!
Totally adorable! 😍
Love the way you guys do your video.. professional edits and also very authentic and natural flowing content.. you guys must be working really hard to get this quality content and make it look so simple and easy! Warm hugs to you two beautiful souls 😍😇
Thank you so much! It's a lot of work but really fun too 😁
Great improvement both of you
Best tutorial ever!!!
Thanks to the simple and detail instructions you guys provided in this tutorial, now I can fix a large drywall area in my son's bedroom. God bless! 😊
Thanks so much Kathy 😊 good luck on the repair and have fun!
+EvanAndKatelyn
Wow you guys are really special and wonderful, from all the comments I have ever done on videos/tutorials on TH-cam, this is the first time I get a respond. Keep up the good work, you have just earned a new subscriber.
Thank you Kathy, we're so happy you're part of our little TH-cam community! We always try to reply to folks who take the time to leave us a comment 😊
God I love you guys, you guys are the best couple I’ve seen for years
GREAT video! It was helpful and enjoyable!!!
your energy is inspiring! SUBSCRIBED!!!
Thanks so much Adam!! Welcome to our little community :D
wow so many great tips in this vid, thanks!
THAT PUSH mower made mince meat of that long grass. I had to re-watch that a few times. That was pretty impressive haha.
Haha it was actually pretty functional!
You guys are awesome, just the right amount of detail - !
Thank you!
That was really fun to watch. Even without sound :D. Thanks for the subtitles!
Thank you!
This was great to watch in case I ever have to fix plasterboard in a future house but personally would rip out the centre first at 2:39 to see if there's anything electrical behind it first so I know it's safe to cut the square outline with a knife ;)
+The Carpenter's Daughter yes that is a great tip!
Mad and smart people. I love that !!
Just enough detail and entertaining as well. Nicely done!
+Terry Trexler thank you!
awesome video! cant wait for more,
wish i knew the paint roller technique before i went through 6 of them haha
Thank you! Haha oh man, yes we had to go through a lot of them too before we found a trick that works. Hopefully you can use it for your next painting project!
Thank you guys! Wife and I are enjoying your videos, keep em coming! We've seen some people putting joint compound before the drywall tape and then putting joint compound again once the tape is on. Apparently that helps with potential "bubbling" down the road. Supposedly it's better to do that in a room (garage) where temperatures can fluctuate easier. Just a thought.... not so sure how much it bubbles. Looking forward to more videos!
+Manny Lidie thank you!! We do plan to keep lots more coming!! Hmmm that's a really interesting tip. We will keep an eye on how ours holds up and if it seems to bubble maybe we can do an update video :)
Paper tape can bubble if the compound under the paper tape isn't wet enough, and even if it is, it's better if the paper tape is moist. Dry paper tape on too thick compound is the problem, if the compound dries before the tape is really attached to it.
Thank you!
+jared aumand you're welcome!
Helpful, thank you.
Glad you found it helpful!
Hi...just stumbled into this channel. Thanks for all the good info. I wish I had your energy and enthusiam. By the way I love you, Katelyn.
