    I’ve spot dry walled over the years, a bathroom here a wall there. This week I’m doing a utility room in Miami and in July my NC cabin and figured it’s about time I watched a video on how to drywall the right way as opposed to seat of my pants and BOOM this pops up on subscribed feed. So excellent. You make a great professor. Cheers!🎉

    Finally I get to see a video that is not several years old. I have really enjoyed watching your various building videos. I am currently building a small mini home for my daughter and your videos have been very helpful. You do excellent quality work. I wish you were my neighbor, lol.

    I want to start with, I love watching your videos! I’ve learned a lot from you on various projects. You give the perfect amount of information without being to much.
    I’ve been doing drywall for 40 years and I’ll give you a tip that will help you on your next drywall project.
    I noticed your index finger on the knife to place pressure on the wall. If you put your index finger and your thumb on the back of the blade you will put more even pressure on the knife and when you feather your edges you can put pressure on top of the seam or bottom of the seam without changing your grip. Hope this helps.

      You are welcome! Practice is the key. Every time I finish drywall, I get a little bit better. That goes with anything in life really but especially with Drywall. Thanks for watching!

    This is so timely, thank you. What type of mud do you use for putting the tape up? I know I move to medium at 2nd & skim coat. If I'm doing textured walls can I do this after the 2nd coat, or 3rd? Thank you for presenting so kindly & with detail.

    Nice work. My father was a master drywall finisher in early 70s and 80s. During school summer break; worked with him-My job was spotting nails, running all the corners. I enjoyed walking on stilts- but dreaded carrying the full buckets of mud- muscle makers.

    Do you need to use hot mud for the first coat if you are using paper tape?

      @@TheExcellentLaborer Last year I had to learn to finish drywall as a beginner. And the one thing I do not agree with for other tutorials was they do not place mud prior to placing the the mesh tape. They say the mud will go through the mesh. I like to place the mud first no matter what type of tape as you did here. And this ensures the wall will not crack. I learned this the hard way doing butt ends and not chamfering and not placing the mud first. Just kept cracking the next day for 5 days in a row. I finally had to chisel it back do a chamfer then mud first. And it never cracked again. Maybe you can do another mud tutorial for butt ends as the chamfer is important.

    Hey man. Great video ... thanks!
    Is there anything that says the sheets of drywall can't be installed vertically? I have a very small room I will be refinishing with drywall. It's 11 foot by 12 foot by about 7 and a half foot tall. I figured installing vertically would be ok but every video shows the sheets being installed horizontally.
    Is it code, personal preference, industry standard, or something else? Thanks!

    Thanks for the video. Great info as always. Only complaint is you need to work on your audio sound.

    Wow, 3 days to do this? Plus sanding? ……….one day to apply multi finish plaster, no sanding, job done!

    • @gardnerdean
      @gardnerdean หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      True but plaster has to cover the entire wall, it takes longer to apply, and takes more skill. Drywall is faster in the end.

    Best way to finish drywall is not to install it in the first place. Most worthless product. Use plywood or a quality particle board or natural wood instead.

      Yeah I hate drywall. I recently did a drywall project in our closet and I forgot why I don’t do drywall anymore. Lesson learned again.
