@@thomasdoubleday4430 It's so true. I hate when people sugar coat stuff and show what looks good not how stuff really happens. I actually did this too because I forgot what kind of mini roller I had at home. I love those things by the way. Use them to cut in corners of walls.
My daughter was in a full body cast for 4 years. We took her home on the weekend and one time the cast broke. I used patching plaster to fix the crack. When it was time to remove the tech came out and asked "What did you use on the cast? He had gone through 3 blades! I told him "Patching plaster what else!" That was when I found out they use plaster of Paris for a cast. I love your channel! Great explanations, clear examples, and you cover everything, except patching a cast.
stumbled across the Home RenoVision channel...JEFF IS THE MAN!!! Just bought my first home, and Jeff's advance is absolutely on-point! Great tips, great pacing, and explanation!! Jeff your my new DIY mentor. Thank you!
Have been remodeling and building for over 30 years (I used to have my CCL) and I still love watching and learning what other Trades people can teach me. Your honesty is refreshing and it’s happens to all of us. Most don’t have the integrity to admit it. I use those money to teach my clients that you have to have a big bag of tools, tips and ingenuity in the building trades. Respect the Trades people and pay them for their expertise! Thanks for dealing with my number one hated subject....drywall anything 😂🤣😝😝 I hate all of it but it never fails I am the one who ends up doing any repairs , I can skim coat a ceiling or wall smooth as a baby’s butt. Hate hate hate it though. A good drywall hanger and finisher is worth their weight in gold. I want Level 5 finishes and finding people who can give that quality are hard to find and you better be willing to wait, because they have a waiting list a mile long. These young people need to get back into the Trades and learn craftsmanship and they will make far more than they will with a Degree!! And work for themselves if they have the work ethic. You cracked me up when you said anybody can do it 😂🤣😂 Yea right 🤣😂🤣 You may make it look easy but some of us know better, that’s years of experience showing and I wish you lived down in FL!!!
I think you are one of the best Reno guy on youtube if not the best, always thanks to your for the job your doing and for the video your are posting, keep posting these good works
You have no idea how many of your videos have helped me. I’m so happy I found your channel! Easy to follow instructions and you don’t just teach the how, you teach the WHY. Thank you!
I bought a house last june. Your videos are a god send.Thanks for all the help. know about 80%, but these videos are that last 20% that matter at the end of the job.
Purchased a new house, built from the ground up. I've noticed a few of these nail pops. Dude, you've made this task too easy for me not to procrastinate. I have a one in my master bedroom ceiling near the corner; I've noticed a few in my guest bedroom on the wall which I'll work on first. Time to put my DeWalt drill to use finally! Thanks!
I’m a simpleton on tape and Bed, I’ve watched some videos, but you go above and beyond and explain why, I watched 2 of your videos last night. I taped and bedded my mothers bathroom wall, plumbers left me with 5 squares to fix. It’s not expert, but it looks good . Thank you for your videos and your time.
We just had a bunch of friends over to help paint the entire interior of the house. Spent a week prepping the space a couple hours at a time and we were good to go. We hadn't considered that the pressure from the rollers would cause the wall the flex and bam, nail pops. We didn't notice until a few days after everything dried. 3 walls in the house had some pretty bad ones. I just re-attached the walls to the studs today with your method and discovered they'd used nails instead of screws to attach all the dry wall. The result of fixing one pop is that the REST of the nails popped too! Frustrating, but i didn't get too frustrated because I knew filling 20 more holes with mud and painting it would only take nominal amount of time since we already had to do the first one. Thank you for showing this so succinctly! I am worries about the rest of the house popping now though, since they used nails instead of screws. 1981 construction, and that made me think I could have purchased something very shoddily constructed. In addition we discovered in another room that instead of taping the joints, they simply caulked the corner joints of the sheets. That's a project for another day, oi vey.
Great video !! Just want to add if you have several nail/screws pop in a line .use your stud finder and make sure you know where the center is. I've seen where someone put them too close to the edge and when the 2x4 dried the nails popped. I call that ..ALL BUN AND NO BURGER..
PLEASE HELP! I've a similar issue. It's a row of screws/nails (about 6 in a row, about an inch or less apart), however they don't look like nail pops, they go slightly inwards - like dimples in the ceiling and there's also a patch of tape showing through on the ceiling. Do I just fill it all with some joint compound? Or do I need to add some screws? Same question with the tape bit please, do I need to take it off or just fill it? Thanks in advance x
Thank you. I never did the first step, adding extra screws, when I fixed my nail pops. I will do that in future. Also, I felt better after you explained why nail pops happen. I always worried if was something really serious going on regarding moisture behind my walls.
Love your stuff. You mentioned very quickly that they had used proper screws but not with as coarse a thread as you would have used. What should we be looking for?
Really enjoy all of your excellent and informative videos Jeff! I believe I speak for everyone that you inspire us all to do more than what we originally thought we were capable of. Cheers!
Hahaha I have about 4 pop up screws in my new walls, they didn't really bother me until I saw your video, now I have to go and fix them, at least I know how to fix it now. Great video like always. Gracias
Jeff, thanks again for sharing more tips and tricks. I definitely appreciate your showing "fixes" as well as "how-to", especially for folks like me that need to do a little more touch up afterward than experienced professionals such as yourself.

Hey Jeff, it's ... Jeff - I'm re-painting most of my walls and I have implemented everything that I can gather from your tips! MY first time really doing decent painting and its working out pretty well. Thanks for your explanations!
Thank you Jeff. Another well presented competent nugget of efficiency. I was at Lowe’s, they only sold large bags of the 45 (big for a homeowner just doing a few patches). Then I went to the “Consumer Aisle” where they have tiny kits of other compounds at high prices. Even trowels were something like 30% higher over in the paint section vs Contractor section of the store. The 45 bag is cheapest.
This is better material than the Red Green show. Lol. Love your videos. I have been so right all these years. Your videos help me be righter. They present me with the opportunity to be more righter / perfect.
Jeff, another useful tip is removing the original screw and squeezing in a small amount of construction adhesive in the screw hole and then re-inserting the screw. The screw will never loosen again. By introducing new screws above and below, you risk having the same issue during expansion and contraction of the structure and you're increasing the repair area that you will have to try to blend when repainting.
Thank you for your video! I have several nail pops and they do bug me. In fact they worried me because I thought it indicated a major structural problem. Now I know how to fix it. I agree that leaving the roller mishap in he video was refreshing to see.
Good, thorough explanations in your videos. I like that you smooth out the mud more than most. Why ask to sand more when another stroke or two will take care of most of it?
This level-headed expert/ Video Rabbi of sorts displays an underlying humility which frames his perfectionism to good effect. He wants to deal with the nagging nuisance by going high instead of folding; and leveling off under the influence of purposeful gratitude. Instead of blowing another fuse, cussing, throwing something and finding someone to blame (a sin which many "modern" ingrates use to fit in amongst fellow pitifuls who have all been hoodwinked by their Leftist teachers) he chooses a response which will change his reallty every day for the better. Thanks for the good advice and the good work.
Thank you for all of your videos. I am in the process of finishing my basement and every time I run in to something and need help you have a video that pops up.
I absolutely love using the roller without a cage. It's a great example of the ingenuity contractors use every day. Sure, we all have fancy tools and it's not often we forget the impact wrench or hammer. But it's inevitable that some obscure tool is sitting on it's shelf in the shop and not the jobsite. That's when the inner magyver emerges!
This answers almost all my questions... I am finding these everywhere on the front wall of the house I just bought, in the room over the garage etc... Any idea why this would be happening with metal studs? Is it just the warm/cold temperature flux moving the studs? They are supposedly "always straight"
Thanks for the tips. I once had a friend who told me my mudding jobs/projects were so bad, it looked like I'd stood at the end of the hallway and threw the mud!! I have an older house (1955) and I've spent a long time working at the screw pops. Only in my case, they're nail pops. I've just been bashing the nails back in and filling the holes. Now I'll go back and add the two screws. Should I, at the same time, replace the nail with a drywall screw? Thanks again for sharing your expertise.
Been doing this for quite a while. Glad to confirm I've been doing it correctly. Does add quite a bit of time to the prep but worth it! Had painters come in to do several rooms simply because I didn't have the time and they did none of this, just painted over the nail pops.
Every nail pop I've experienced is in the ceiling...I'll have to search your vids on how to match pre-existing ceiling patterns....thanks for the tios!
Great video. Just finished couple weeks ago around the house ( many of them as it’s fairly new 3 years old house), wish I could see this before as what I patch it’s clearly visible bump . Glad havenot painted yet so will have more sanding to do and use your technical to make it perfect next time. Subscribed your channel and wishing best luck . Thanks for amazing info My next project is : remove cold cellar plywood ceiling from concrete which builder left it which he supposed to remove it. Got confirmation from that builder that it’s not structural & it’s only to cure concrete . So let’s see if I can find good video on that 😊
New subscriber here, Been enjoying your videos lately. Thought I'd find a way to eliminate nail pops like I have all over my house, but all I saw was how to fix screw pops. My house was built in 1960 with actual nails holding the drywall- in pairs. It's a lot more difficult to get a nail out of the drywall.
Hello Jeff, Thank you for thorough instructions on fixing the nail pops. We recently had tons of them popped due to the heavy winds from tornado. So we have to fix them throughout all the walls in the house. And then repaint all the walls. After fixing all the nail pops, Should we strip the paint by sanding? Also, we have certain nail pops right by the edge of wall and ceiling. What should we do about that ? Thank you in advance.
I am so glad you did this video! I just had my house siding replaced and have several nail pops all around but one bedroom has 32 of them! I am seriously considering hiring a professional to get them all done quickly.
Thanks. Now I realize why spots I patch up is smoother than the rest of the wall. I need to add texture to the patch before painting the whole wall As always great video
I always go four inches above and below every nail pop, so as to allow for a proper 8" spacing between drywall fasteners, and to avoid the weakened pop damaged area.
I have nail pops in our ceiling. Do I use the same technique? Putting screws in on either side of the popped screw? They are low , close to the wall. Thanks, love watching your videos! Great info!
I love you guys. Every single video is well informed by a professional. They should definitely have a live show. I would love to see you guys work on mobile homes cause that's what I do for a living and would love to learn more.
Hi Jeff, Thanks for another great video ! Don’t know if this will be useful to anyone, but this a tip I remembered when you talked about « country water » that contains minerals that quicken the setup time of drywall mud. I used to do this when I wanted the plaster I was mixing to pour into an impression to harden very quickly. You have to take already harden plaster powder and mix it in with the un-set plaster powder and water. The « cristals » of the already set plaster activate the reaction (I took that « set powder » from the plaster model trimmer). So I guess you could take the dust created by sanding drywall mud and use it to speed up the hardening. But be careful, it can go REALLY fast ! When I say fast, it’s fast : if you add to much set powder, sometimes the plaster starts to harden before you finish pouring your plaster it into your impression, like after 2 minutes !!!
Love this Channel! First time homebuyer (Disabled combat veteran) QUESTION: How to keep cold air blowing in the house though light switch panel. Replace the box to the new code? My house is 51 years old. I know some insulation and maybe some sealant? Plus some of the new light switches come with the green ground. I have in the past just put the green grounding wire to the box IF metal conduit was used. Just at a little lost with this one. You could write a book just from all my questions. Thank you for any and all help. I REALLY want a bathroom remodel just like you guys did when you put in that no step shower and got rid of that false ceiling and you used those of set hinges and awesome pull bars. I have no help with this kinda stuff it is scary for me and I don’t feel safe. Oh and the Moodle ceramic floor tiles have a tendency to come up when your feet are wet. I really luv you guys and gals........ I just want a safe home for my Service Dog and I. Oh, same bathroom someone just cut a hole in the floor to use it as a laundry chute. How do I fix that? I really don’t want my little nieces it or nephew to fall through the hole onto the cement basement floor. Below.
Thank you for your channel. What is the process to fix ceiling nail pops that are really nails not screws? Also what is the best way to refinish when there is one of those annoyingly textured finishes (not popcorn but done with a patterned roller of some kind).
Just found your videos and enjoying very much. Read through comments and did not see this question: My nail pops are at top of studs where drywall meets ceiling so there is nowhere to put extra screws. Ceiling is fancy plaster so I have to be careful not to damage it. Would I just drive nails back in and hope they don't pop out again, or do I need to do something else? Cheers!
Hey love the video. I do have alot of these throughout my house. Are they a serious problem if i have so many? I started working on some the last few days but upon checking the walls closely i do see so many now. Thanks
I’ve used a 2 part auto body filler with a lot of hardening cream, you can fill a screw pop and sand it 1min later and paint it another minute later. I’ve used a product called icing bondo, it’s an auto body filler that sands easier. I only use this method if I’ve got only a few patches where dry time is a big issue
Jeff Thank God for people like you. I’m a salesmen first so the mechanically inclined part of my 🧠 doesn’t work well 😂. Videos like these are a God Send for people like me who have no idea wth we are doing!! Keep up the great work!!
So here's pro DYIer "nail pop" story: I'm currently working on a bathroom reno (I'm almost done thankfully). I needed to take all the tile up off our very small MB floor so I didn't invest in a power tool to do it because it wold have been overkill (or so I thought). Well, the mortar bed was so well set that scraping or chiseling it off the sub floor would have taken the better part of a day so in frustration I just whacked the floor with my mini sledge hammer and to my surprise the mortar just came right up like butter! So I continued to remove the tile and mortar in this fashion. It went super quick and the floor was as smooth as could be. I was super proud of myself. Finished for the day I went downstairs to the kitchen to get a beer. I looked on the floor and there were white pieces of something on the floor. For a few minutes I couldn't for the life of me figure it out until I looked up to see all the nails had popped out due to my (sledge) hammering of the mortar. I showed my Wife and luckily she didn't freak out (she was just happy I was redoing the bathroom). Luckily I'm able to patch it up, repaint and make it invisible. The moral of the story is: A) Either have your MBS on the first floor so you won't mess up the ceiling below or B) Take the time to scrape the mortar up by hand or C) Purchase a hammer drill ( I thought I had one but I didn't) Years ago I learned a sanding "trick" by a pro drywaller: Use a slightly damp sponge to feather edges. Now you can't always use this technique for heavy areas but for the smaller ones it works like a charm and without the dust!

Thanks for your videos, Mr. Jeff -- my family loves watching. Seeing this nail-popping video made me think of outdoor nails... Do you have any advice on how to deal with (non-galvanized?) nails rusting through on siding? The builder of my 11-year-old home apparently skimped on using exterior nails, and rust is bleeding through my last two summer attempts of painting over them. Is my only choice to attempt to extract them and replace them with stainless steel?
So nail pops are a given. We had our roof replaced last year and the nail pops that we had a few years ago came back. The painter repaired them but a year later they came back. The painter used screws. Why not use silicone caulk?
Wow. Very, very helpful video for me.. Thanks, Jeff. I have watched so many. Is there a list of all of them? Because you said we would understand one better if we saw video 1 on that subject. Thanks..I hope you get rich.
Jeff, love you channel and how there is no fluff (and that you talk fast!). What about actual nail pops? Do i drive in the culprit nail further and then screw above and below, or do I actually try to dig in and pull out the nail?
1 - OMG I am so grateful to you for all of your videos. Just cant thank you enough. 2. It was awesome that you explained how and why nail pops show up after painting (I will stop poking pins into the Vudo doll I made of my painter after I saw all the nail pops I thought he just ignored). 3. Did you manage to get mud and paint the exact same color? genius! 4. Im going to follow your Amazon link to order my very one drywall mud hawk. Im really excited about a project that I usually HATE. Thanks again.
Hello Sir, we really like your videos. Always helpful and always a "go to" for information and solutions. Here is a question dealing with drywall repair. Or maybe you have a video out there we have missed. Airvent at ceiling. We scrapped the stippled ceiling (rose/sunflower pattern) throughout the house, re-muded etc. and the Airvents for AC/Heating are literally held up by the mud. Screws for the Vents go through into "emptiness" with no hold. The vents are hold up by wishful thinking. How can we address this?
great video, I definitely have a handful of nail pops to fix around the house... do you have a video, or can you do a video about how to fix the long cracks created by the metal wall brackets around frameless doorways or openings. I dont know if I'm describing this correctly. cracks created by the metal corner beams.
Hi Asha, the best thing to do is add a few nails or screws to secure the metal. then use paper tape tp bridge the metal to the wall. 2 coats of mud will finish it nicely. Cheers!
Great advice man! Our house we just got has these EVERYWHERE. If you got a second, what would you use to fill tack strip nail holes in concrete before sealing it to lay peel and stick tiles? When getting the tack strips up it leaves little tiny craters where some of the nails were.

I once knew a man who claimed he couldn't even hammer a nail. We all have different gifts. And we can all learn new tricks. Cheers!
Well done! You not only explained the process really well, you also did a great job demonstrating the steps!
Great show.. your videos are very straight forward and easy to follow. Great info.
I'm simply adore your videos
Respectfully
Thank you for honestly share your knowledge.
I absolutely love using the roller without a cage. It's a great example of the ingenuity contractors use every day. Sure, we all have fancy tools and it's not often we forget the impact wrench or hammer. But it's inevitable that some obscure tool is sitting on it's shelf in the shop and not the jobsite. That's when the inner magyver emerges!
Hey dude, life happens. Good to have a few tricks up the sleeve.
This answers almost all my questions... I am finding these everywhere on the front wall of the house I just bought, in the room over the garage etc... Any idea why this would be happening with metal studs? Is it just the warm/cold temperature flux moving the studs? They are supposedly "always straight"
Thanks for the tips. I once had a friend who told me my mudding jobs/projects were so bad, it looked like I'd stood at the end of the hallway and threw the mud!! I have an older house (1955) and I've spent a long time working at the screw pops. Only in my case, they're nail pops. I've just been bashing the nails back in and filling the holes. Now I'll go back and add the two screws. Should I, at the same time, replace the nail with a drywall screw? Thanks again for sharing your expertise.
You are a legend! I have watched heaps of your videos. Not only are they useful but they are insightful as well. Keep up the great work! 😀
always glad to be helpful. Cheers!
I'm 100% positive that you are the best TH-camr.
Thanks for your videos and passion. Don't you like using 5 minutes easy sand for small touch ups? That's what I use two quick coats and done...
Great content. Can you do a video on nail pops when its drywall with knock down texture?
Been doing this for quite a while. Glad to confirm I've been doing it correctly. Does add quite a bit of time to the prep but worth it! Had painters come in to do several rooms simply because I didn't have the time and they did none of this, just painted over the nail pops.
Every nail pop I've experienced is in the ceiling...I'll have to search your vids on how to match pre-existing ceiling patterns....thanks for the tios!
You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you for showing us non-pros how to do it right...and easier.
Great video. Just finished couple weeks ago around the house ( many of them as it’s fairly new 3 years old house), wish I could see this before as what I patch it’s clearly visible bump . Glad havenot painted yet so will have more sanding to do and use your technical to make it perfect next time.
Subscribed your channel and wishing best luck .
Thanks for amazing info
My next project is : remove cold cellar plywood ceiling from concrete which builder left it which he supposed to remove it. Got confirmation from that builder that it’s not structural & it’s only to cure concrete . So let’s see if I can find good video on that 😊
Ty ty ty.thia happened to us next to our front door .can't believe this is such an easy fix.
New subscriber here, Been enjoying your videos lately. Thought I'd find a way to eliminate nail pops like I have all over my house, but all I saw was how to fix screw pops. My house was built in 1960 with actual nails holding the drywall- in pairs. It's a lot more difficult to get a nail out of the drywall.
Hello Jeff,
Thank you for thorough instructions on fixing the nail pops. We recently had tons of them popped due to the heavy winds from tornado. So we have to fix them throughout all the walls in the house. And then repaint all the walls. After fixing all the nail pops, Should we strip the paint by sanding? Also, we have certain nail pops right by the edge of wall and ceiling. What should we do about that ? Thank you in advance.
Excellent! Nail pops are my life! Thank you!!! 👏😊🙏👍
I bet you are getting pretty good at drywall repairs! Rumor has it you travel around with your touch up tools in the car. Cheers!
Love your channel - I have learned so much and have been able to do most of my home repairs - thank u
I am so glad you did this video! I just had my house siding replaced and have several nail pops all around but one bedroom has 32 of them! I am seriously considering hiring a professional to get them all done quickly.
I suggest doing it yourself. it will only take an hour to patch them all. and another hour to touch up paint.
Thanks. Now I realize why spots I patch up is smoother than the rest of the wall. I need to add texture to the patch before painting the whole wall As always great video
Thank you so much. Our new home has several of these and it was very frustrating. Love the videos.
I always go four inches above and below every nail pop, so as to allow for a proper 8" spacing between drywall fasteners, and to avoid the weakened pop damaged area.
Every house has them, glad you took the time to do a video on it. Thanks Jeff....
I have nail pops in our ceiling. Do I use the same technique? Putting screws in on either side of the popped screw? They are low , close to the wall. Thanks, love watching your videos! Great info!
Hi Tamra, this system works everywhere. Have fun Cheers!
I like this geezer.
Talks sense.
D K in the UK.
I love you guys. Every single video is well informed by a professional. They should definitely have a live show. I would love to see you guys work on mobile homes cause that's what I do for a living and would love to learn more.
I am hoping to do one next year from top to bottom!
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for another great video !
Don’t know if this will be useful to anyone, but this a tip I remembered when you talked about « country water » that contains minerals that quicken the setup time of drywall mud.
I used to do this when I wanted the plaster I was mixing to pour into an impression to harden very quickly. You have to take already harden plaster powder and mix it in with the un-set plaster powder and water. The « cristals » of the already set plaster activate the reaction (I took that « set powder » from the plaster model trimmer).
So I guess you could take the dust created by sanding drywall mud and use it to speed up the hardening. But be careful, it can go REALLY fast ! When I say fast, it’s fast : if you add to much set powder, sometimes the plaster starts to harden before you finish pouring your plaster it into your impression, like after 2 minutes !!!
Love this Channel! First time homebuyer (Disabled combat veteran) QUESTION: How to keep cold air blowing in the house though light switch panel. Replace the box to the new code? My house is 51 years old. I know some insulation and maybe some sealant? Plus some of the new light switches come with the green ground. I have in the past just put the green grounding wire to the box IF metal conduit was used. Just at a little lost with this one. You could write a book just from all my questions. Thank you for any and all help. I REALLY want a bathroom remodel just like you guys did when you put in that no step shower and got rid of that false ceiling and you used those of set hinges and awesome pull bars. I have no help with this kinda stuff it is scary for me and I don’t feel safe. Oh and the Moodle ceramic floor tiles have a tendency to come up when your feet are wet. I really luv you guys and gals........ I just want a safe home for my Service Dog and I. Oh, same bathroom someone just cut a hole in the floor to use it as a laundry chute. How do I fix that? I really don’t want my little nieces it or nephew to fall through the hole onto the cement basement floor. Below.
your switch is most likely without a vapor barrier or air barrier behind it. Sounds like you have a lot of work to do Peter. Cheers!
Thanks.
Thank you for your channel. What is the process to fix ceiling nail pops that are really nails not screws? Also what is the best way to refinish when there is one of those annoyingly textured finishes (not popcorn but done with a patterned roller of some kind).
Just found your videos and enjoying very much. Read through comments and did not see this question: My nail pops are at top of studs where drywall meets ceiling so there is nowhere to put extra screws. Ceiling is fancy plaster so I have to be careful not to damage it. Would I just drive nails back in and hope they don't pop out again, or do I need to do something else? Cheers!
Hey love the video. I do have alot of these throughout my house. Are they a serious problem if i have so many? I started working on some the last few days but upon checking the walls closely i do see so many now. Thanks
you are a legend - love your enthusiasm / thank you for sharing the tip
I’ve used a 2 part auto body filler with a lot of hardening cream, you can fill a screw pop and sand it 1min later and paint it another minute later. I’ve used a product called icing bondo, it’s an auto body filler that sands easier. I only use this method if I’ve got only a few patches where dry time is a big issue
Jeff Thank God for people like you. I’m a salesmen first so the mechanically inclined part of my 🧠 doesn’t work well 😂. Videos like these are a God Send for people like me who have no idea wth we are doing!! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for the video - good information, high production quality - very useful.
thanks for the vid.
So here's pro DYIer "nail pop" story: I'm currently working on a bathroom reno (I'm almost done thankfully). I needed to take all the tile up off our very small MB floor so I didn't invest in a power tool to do it because it wold have been overkill (or so I thought). Well, the mortar bed was so well set that scraping or chiseling it off the sub floor would have taken the better part of a day so in frustration I just whacked the floor with my mini sledge hammer and to my surprise the mortar just came right up like butter! So I continued to remove the tile and mortar in this fashion. It went super quick and the floor was as smooth as could be. I was super proud of myself. Finished for the day I went downstairs to the kitchen to get a beer. I looked on the floor and there were white pieces of something on the floor. For a few minutes I couldn't for the life of me figure it out until I looked up to see all the nails had popped out due to my (sledge) hammering of the mortar. I showed my Wife and luckily she didn't freak out (she was just happy I was redoing the bathroom). Luckily I'm able to patch it up, repaint and make it invisible.
The moral of the story is:
A) Either have your MBS on the first floor so you won't mess up the ceiling below or
B) Take the time to scrape the mortar up by hand or
C) Purchase a hammer drill ( I thought I had one but I didn't)
Years ago I learned a sanding "trick" by a pro drywaller: Use a slightly damp sponge to feather edges. Now you can't always use this technique for heavy areas but for the smaller ones it works like a charm and without the dust!
Thank you for great video. What is the best size of screw?
Great channel! I really appreciate your manner of instruction. You have a great way of communicating the project. Truly awesome!
Thanks for the video that was awesome. What do you do with pesky cracking from home settling?

Thanks for your videos, Mr. Jeff -- my family loves watching. Seeing this nail-popping video made me think of outdoor nails... Do you have any advice on how to deal with (non-galvanized?) nails rusting through on siding? The builder of my 11-year-old home apparently skimped on using exterior nails, and rust is bleeding through my last two summer attempts of painting over them. Is my only choice to attempt to extract them and replace them with stainless steel?
So nail pops are a given. We had our roof replaced last year and the nail pops that we had a few years ago came back. The painter repaired them but a year later they came back. The painter used screws. Why not use silicone caulk?
So how do you fix Nail pops? they were screws, not nails.
Could you list the name of the 45 minute compound you used? I don't think I saw it on your Amazon list. Thanks for the video.
@@JAKEDT08 Durabond 45.
Wow. Very, very helpful video for me.. Thanks, Jeff. I have watched so many. Is there a list of all of them? Because you said we would understand one better if we saw video 1 on that subject. Thanks..I hope you get rich.
Nice video. I got about 8 of them in my home. Thanks
Jeff, love you channel and how there is no fluff (and that you talk fast!). What about actual nail pops? Do i drive in the culprit nail further and then screw above and below, or do I actually try to dig in and pull out the nail?
Love the improvised roller follow up
Great information. You make it look so easy.👍👍👍
Thank you Jose, it really is that easy!
1 - OMG I am so grateful to you for all of your videos. Just cant thank you enough. 2. It was awesome that you explained how and why nail pops show up after painting (I will stop poking pins into the Vudo doll I made of my painter after I saw all the nail pops I thought he just ignored). 3. Did you manage to get mud and paint the exact same color? genius! 4. Im going to follow your Amazon link to order my very one drywall mud hawk. Im really excited about a project that I usually HATE. Thanks again.
You are pretty awesome sir. You could master anything.
Great video. Smart guy with all good information.
Just had this issue on my renovation and was dreading fixing it. Thank you for the tip.
Hello Sir, we really like your videos. Always helpful and always a "go to" for information and solutions. Here is a question dealing with drywall repair. Or maybe you have a video out there we have missed. Airvent at ceiling. We scrapped the stippled ceiling (rose/sunflower pattern) throughout the house, re-muded etc. and the Airvents for AC/Heating are literally held up by the mud. Screws for the Vents go through into "emptiness" with no hold. The vents are hold up by wishful thinking. How can we address this?
great video, I definitely have a handful of nail pops to fix around the house... do you have a video, or can you do a video about how to fix the long cracks created by the metal wall brackets around frameless doorways or openings. I dont know if I'm describing this correctly. cracks created by the metal corner beams.
Hi Asha, the best thing to do is add a few nails or screws to secure the metal. then use paper tape tp bridge the metal to the wall. 2 coats of mud will finish it nicely. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY thank you.. do I do this over the wall texture and paint.. or skip the tape step? what type of nails should I be using?
Great advice man! Our house we just got has these EVERYWHERE. If you got a second, what would you use to fill tack strip nail holes in concrete before sealing it to lay peel and stick tiles? When getting the tack strips up it leaves little tiny craters where some of the nails were.
mix up a little thinset. let it dry overnight. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Thanks neighbor! Guess down to the hardware store I go.
Great video. I do have a question. Are nail pops always because of a screw or could it be cause by a nail as well?
love the paint demo! Macgyver roller system!! thx.
