I’m the guy that needs a hazmat suit and 14 days to sand my walls. I really wish I had watched this before I ever touched mud lol.
Hats off to all you skilled folks who donated the time and work to educate the rest of us about this job. You are all rockstars.
I’m a 24 year old finisher, I work for myself and I’ve always been obsessed with finding the fastest most efficient techniques and I have found you to be the best instructor with the most effective methods (minimizing sanding). Really enjoy your videos
Jeff & Co --- THANK YOU. Your videos have sincerely changed my life for the better. I stumbled upon Home Renovision a year and a half ago, after deciding to purchase my grandparents' 1954 home. Our basement was a time capsule to the 1960's, and the upstairs wasn't much better. I started with ZERO knowledge, experience or exposure to tools, carpentry, and so on. I now have a full fledged wood workshop in the garage, countless hours of hands-on experience & the wisdom to tackle the rest of my home. My grandfather has since passed... but in that time, I was able to show him my appreciation, love & dedication to the house he lived in for 50+ years --- built by his father before him.
On a lighter note, my spoiled kids are now reaping the rewards of the 450 sq ft bed & bath renovation you guided me through.
To keep things brief, my first project as a diy'er included:
- Discovering major water damage, mold, and termites (yikes)
- Demo'ing all trim, drywall, insulation, carpeting, sink, toilet, shower & windows
- Repaired rotted sections of exterior sheathing, studs & sill plates
- New house wrap, hose spigot & siding repairs
- Air & Weather sealed every single gap
- New insulation, vapor barrier, drywall, flooring, trim, shower, sink, toilet, hardware, windows, etc.
- Added overhead lighting, additional circuits, and so forth
You've taught a man to fish. For that, I can't thank you and your family enough. Your incredibly thorough & high quality content has enhanced my family's life for years to come.
More impressive than that --- I now love to mud drywall. You've created a monster.
- Bryan
The joy, pride and professionalism you display should be an example to all of us. If we all took our life work this seriously, who knows what we could accomplish? Maybe even world piece and no more butt joints!
Just wanted to say thanks for these videos. They have helped me a ton on several projects around the house. Far and away the best channel on youtube for learning about home improvement projects.
Jeremy Hale I agree 100%
@@jacko526 same...I'm so thankful for people like this.
well said!
You're not only a great drywaller and finisher, bet a fantastic instructor. I have watched parts 5 thru 10 about 6 times each. This is where I have the most difficulty. I would like to see a video on knock down texture.
I have been binge-watching your videos for weeks now. I really wish I had seen the beginning of the series before I put up the dry wall. I literally put up the dry wall on Friday and Saturday and found your video series on Monday. I went back home and started to repair all the goof-ups I made over the weekend. These are easily the best series on dry-walling and home improvement that I've found. I can't stop watching them. Thank you for the time, the effort, and the extra explanations and demonstrations you include in each video. It's not simply "Do it like this. You don't want to do that." You take the time to "do it the wrong way" to illustrate why and then show how to fix it. I fall into the "did it wrong, have to fix it" category. These videos are priceless. Thank you.
I'm a recent homeowner, my wife and I bought a house over 100 years old and looking to make some upgrades. Your videos have become invaluable thank you!!
We just bought our first home, a 114 year old Craftsman. We are reconfiguring the layout and have a hallway, walk-in closet, laundry room, and office to drywall. Long story short, lots of joints and corners. Thank you so much for all the time you put in to these tutorials. Switching to the bucket and hock and repurposing that pan as a planter.
I purchased a new home with Lennar Builder in Forney,Texas. My walls and ceilings has calking that have separated in several areas throughout my home. And my walls and ceilings have ridges, where it is very noticeable especially at night. I have had several contractors give me estimates of about ten thousand dollars. But I truly can say, you are a very truthful person, that take pride in what you do. I watched your video's step by step and found it amazing. I really can do this and do this like a professional. I truly thank you, and wish alot of supposing to be sheetrock contractors would study your video's.
This guy is the Bob Ross of drywall! If he truly gets as much enjoyment from clean, pristine work as it seams I'm sure it shows in the finished product! Thanks for helping change the bad stereotypes of contractors.
Cheers Dave, Most guys I know love to do their best work! Cheers!
getting ready to hang my drywall in my 73 yr old kitchen. MY mom was all worried today because someone brought up the sanding part and the dust.. lol... then this video you explained the hazmat suit lol... I sat here listening to you and watching it all.. less mud less sanding needed. love it thanks!
Easily the most comprehensive drywalling guide on youtube. Thank you very much.
I really like the explanations behind why a particular technique is used. I think that is key to absorbing the lessons. This series has been really valuable. Thanks
Thank you Earl. Cheers!
TROWEL AND HAWK are the only way to go. Can lay down more mud faster and easier to handle with drywalling my entire basement. You and Vancouver Carpentry channel convinced me. Great series. Looking forward to other videos for my future DIY.
Your explanations on finishing are spot on, I had a lady call me, said she did the bedding and touch up(2nd) coat herself, and needed a price on just the skim coat. I knew better than to give her a quote without looking at her coats, and when i got there, I made her watch your videos. Lol. Finishing is a science for each coat!
Your videos are very thorough and to the point, covering the small details that make your work professional in the end. They have assisted me in doing projects in my house. People were so impressed with my work that they couldn't believe it was my first drywall project! Keep up the teaching!
the wife and i have been finishing our basement and neither of us have ever done this and your videos are a huge help for us! thank you so much!
Thank you saw much I’m a lady that it’s trying to make some money to help my family.Im doing construction work which wen I start have no idea what I was doing.Thanks to you I learn a lot and still have my Job.God bless you ,you been my life saver.🙏
Hi, first time seeing your videos. You are a Master. Seriously, a Master. I'm 58 yr old female whose 'side hustle' for 30 years, off and on, has been drywall. Now I find myself single and needing to start a new career. I thought I was fairly well informed in this field, but you have shown me that there are better ways. An old dog can learn new tricks! :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your gift for training. Jen
I’ve done a bunch of DIY in previous rentals and am very comfortable with framing, electrical, plumbing, hanging drywall, etc. This series of videos was awesome for someone mudding for the first time, that said, I absolutely hate it because I don’t understand the process fully and will hire someone next time 🤣.
Thanks for all you awesome work and information you put into all your videos!!
U are amazing man I lieterally started my own home renovation company by learning from you videos. From framing to drywall and everything else. I am making more than I ever have and have time to spend with my family. I know I can take any job and if there is something idk how to do I go on your Chanel and learn all I need to know. U learned changed the life of myself and my family. Thank I man
I have an 1800s farmhouse and we recently took out a closet to make the bathroom a bit larger. I have no experience with carpentry and I've just watched most of this drywall series. I am now hopeful that my patched in drywall can be salvaged!
IVE BEEN A DIYFER FOR QUITE A WHILE AND A WAS STILL ABLE TO LEARN SOME LITTLE THINGS THAT IVE BEEN DOING WRONG FOR YEARS...OR AT LEAST MAKING MORE WORK FOR MYSELF THAN NESSESARY. i LIKE YOUR WORK AND i LIKE YOUR TUTORIALS. HECK...! I KINDA EVEN LIKE YOU. SEEM LIKE AN ALRIGHT FELLER TO ME SO THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS.
I am a very new DIYer and have really appreciated your videos. Clear, simple and well-explained- thanks for the great work!
Awesome. You're helping DIY 'ers accomplish home projects that they would otherwise feel intimidated with. Very informative. Great job!
I'm a DIYer and would have done this myself, but I have my hands full with projects and still have to replace my drywall. After watching this I now know what to look out for with my contractors. Thank you. Now if I could only know how to find a good contractor.
Being able to watch your work helped a lot. I move in to the USA 1 year ago and done a lot of different things and your videos helps a lot to understand how to use and apply different materials wish I had the tools to pull my own work but planing on getting there. FYI I did a deck whit my wife I use your Tutorial on that one. Thank you
Very informative. I liked your explantion of spreading out the bump so the eye can't see it. Make sense.
You have the greatest videos! I am in the process of building about 400 square feet of basement, and I've been all over your stuff. I got my electric run, my framing done, and my sub floor in. I'm finishing my bulkheads and then it's drywall and putty time. Thank you for all of these videos!
I've always hated and wondered about the outlet covers rocking and not being flush against the wall. Now I understand why. As I do my bathroom remodel I'll be able to be sure it's done right. Thanks again!
Been building a log cabin and yes, there's a bit of drywall in the inside, so this has been helping me a lot during this process. How you don't have drywall mud all over your clothes at the end of this video I'll never understand, definitely a strong contrast to what I look like right now.
three things I don't do in the construction trade . wire , plumb , and tape and mudd . it's truly an art and you've mastered it . I'm 46 , own my own business and I would shadow you for 1 yr to learn how to mudd and tape like that . thank you from Nest Construction !
Thanks a lot. This has been a great help. I'm about to do the finishing work on a bedroom that I was forced to re-build due to termite damage. I last did drywall work in 1980, so I wanted to refresh my memory and hone my skills a bit. Your videos have helped tremendously. You make it look so easy. Maybe by the time I've finished this room, I'll be much better myself. I hope so as I have two more rooms to rebuild and re-plaster. Thanks again. Lee
You are the Bob Ross of drywall!!!!! I am remodeling my basement, the info and demonstration you provide are very helpful...AND your methods make sense....all delivered with a touch of zen minus a few happy trees. Thank you!!!
Excellent instruction. I’m a DIYer and have been binge watching all the dry waller experts. Lots of variations and techniques. I like yours. Please keep them coming!
These are some of the best and most informative videos out there. I sold my supply business six years ago and got my contracting license. I do everything from build custom fireplace mantles to sheetrocking occasionally. Your videos have bumped up my skillset immensely. Thank you so much for sharing your years of knowledge in the trade! Great job!!
I went to school for carpentry and now that I'm working for a contractor it's like I don't know how to do things and so this is really helping me learn and understand how to do this. Instead of just telling me how to do it and then expecting me to do it right the first time.
I do a lot of my own home improvements myself. I haven't never done a whole drywall thing, but I have patched some holes that have been made. Also mail holes and things like that. I like your videos. Yours isn't rocket science and done perfection. I like that! Thanks 👍
Glad to hear that Lisa, Cheers!
After years of fighting with my own DIY drywall work, these videos have improved my experience and results practically overnight. After years of youtube vids I say without hesitation these are the best on the internet for clarity and demonstration of technique. Just watching you work has altered my knifing techniques and honestly made my life better. :-)
Bravo, maestro...now on to watch some of your other vids!!
Glad to help you Ben, Cheers and enjoy life my friend.!
Been back and forth so many times on these videos . I am doing my basement and these have helped me sooo much ! Thank you !
I love these videos on drywall taping. With these tips I have improved 200%. I really like the explanation as to why something is done to accomplish the task.
Thanks for the videos. Have learned over the years that drywalling is more of an art than it is a trade. It takes practice, patience, and persistence. I've spent so many hours mudding, taking off mud, putting it back on, sanding, second coat, sanding, and final coat. Your steps make so much sense to me now! - keep it thin, don't fuss over ridges/high points, and keep going! Used all of your steps verbatim in my last bathroom project and took me half the time of my previous drywall jobs. THANKS MAN!!
I could drywall but there was always a seam you could see. Thanks to your videos i have improved to the point family members ask for help all the time. Keep up the great videos. Dedicated fan.......
I should have watched these videos before I started my bathroom project. I tell myself that I am hiring a professional the next time I do this, because I get so frustrated trying to make everything perfect, and I lose motivation. I consider myself pretty handy and I can do most renovations myself, to a certain quality level, but this is one task that I need to work on. I am going to get after it tomorrow and take a different approach now that I have this information. Thank you for going into such great detail and making this process easy to follow.
You can do it Brian. Cheers!
I'm renovating my home and I will be depending on these videos. I'm working on demo now. I'll be doing the renovation myself and getting the tools along the way. I have to break down some walls, renovate a kitchen and bathroom. Add electrical for a AC, washer/dryer and oven. I'll work on this every day on my off time.
Thank you sooooo much!!! I just started with my basement project and it is going great. Just got through with my first coat using your technique. I have never done this before. Your videos had given me the confidence to tackle it, with my wife and son. I'll keep you posted on how it's going...
Same here. First coat today😁
These tips saved me dozens of hours and thousands of dollars.
Thank you!
Great video series as usual but I didn't understand your taping method. Worrying about tape over tape as most would find themselves within the beveled flat joint. The way I was taught was butts, flats, inside than outside that way all tapes kinda hold themselves down by the next without worry of coating early and pulling back or moving. Also a little trick I learnt when taping joints around receptacles. Just fold a paper tape up 2-3 times and stuff it in there and coat away like the box was never there. If you find yourself worried before final coat you will loose it because the shrinkage wasn't there just push it in a bit beforehand so you can find it later. It's super easy and the electricians appreciate that when they come their boxes/ wireres aren't coated in mud
Totally my “go to” reference before I start any project, even if I’m hiring the work out. I like to know how things should be done and what to look for
That's why I'm here, to see if they guys I just hired have been doing the job properly...they kind of have, but not that level of attention to detail. This guy would make a fortune in Newfoundland.
Good day. Due to Covid, I have decided to do a pivot and pick up a trade in the contraction field....I love your dry wall videos....Now, I need somewhere to practice....
Cant wait to watch finish floors and hanging doors
You have been a huge help with this series and the new videos throughout my drywall phase. One thing I wanted to pass on related to dirt/debris. I started noticing orange fibers in my mud and they kept coming up even with new batches. Turns out, I must have scraped the mud from the barrel with the knife too aggressively and it scratched the orange Home Depot bucket causing bucket fibers to get in the mud 🤦♂️ I had to dig the crap out of the dried mud, switched to a new bucket, and redo the mud batch. Be careful when loading up your hawk from the bucket! 😅
First time drywaller here. Thanks for stopping my panic attack from my joint not being level 😂
You are very talented in explaining, a pleasure to watch your videos
Oh my i got played with trying to go with a regular person to do my drywall and they basically made a bigger problem i already had and my whole house is dusty. The 1st big thing i do without a man and i get ripped off and cause more work then I already had this process has turned me off and I was so excited about it i saved and saved and now Im 👀 your videos praying and hoping i can try to copy and do the work myself.
I am in the process of updating the en-suite. After watching your videos on mudding drywall joints, you have given me the will to tackle it without hiring someone. Yes, it might not be a professional finish, but the reward for doing it myself will be the experience. Thanks for sharing your knowledge for us rookie mudders. Cheers from Nova Scotia
Glad to help Gary, have fun with the project. Cheers to Nova Scotia!
I love watching your videos not only because they're helpful on all my home projects, but it's like my dad is teaching me :D
Finishing up my garage and really enjoyed the vids. Nice work! Great teaching style, nice to see someone not rushing through a project OR video. 👍
Cheers!
Watched at .25 speed to catch the Trowel/Hawk technique, I was NOT disappointed... :D
nicely done. Cheers!
What a great tip! Not only does it slow it way down but the comedy factor goes through the roof!
Just demo my bath. Starting to Reno soon. Your videos are very informative thank you
Fixing up my house is so much easier because of your videos. Thank you I appreciate what you do!!
I really appreciate your instructions. I am still trying to fix mistakes I have already made before watching your video.
Hi Jeff, just watched this whole series again. I'm finally ready to tape. I took you're advice and hired a plumber for the bathroom sewage lines as he had to cut into the floor and move lines around. (Money well spent) Now that everything looks pretty good - my wife actually trusts me now to the the tapping. This weekend is the kickoff! Thanks to this channel I've gotten tips and more importantly confidence. You're the best. Brian
Thank you so much for this step by step series! I am about to embark on drywalling a house and this is the most comprehensive series I have been able to find. I especially appreciate that you include how to deal with imperfections
Thanks Sam, we are here to help if you have questions along the way!
Liked learning more about he fade techniques to get the butt joints flat with minimal sanding. I understand the concept, but your technique is obviously the key to efficiency and a smooth job. I also never appreciated the importance of the gradual finishing over 4 applications of the compound. That really helps. Thanks.
You make taping look so easy. I bought all the tools and did a first coat on a small wall today, we will see in the morning. Thanks again, love your channel.
These videos are amazing, looking at starting doing little things around the house and I cant stop watching these tutorials, amazing work and thank you!
Thanks Don, glad to help!
I don't use ready mix mud anymore or paper tape. I replaced it with hot mud and mesh tape.
The corner are not as easy but with hot mud I get my corners done in 1 days.
Hot mud will never bubble, crack or shrink.
Thank you Jeff. I have truly enjoyed binge watching your 13 part series. I am a handyman in Victoria Australia with some experience of installing drywall and getting all my knowledge from TH-cam. I have come to handyman work towards the end of my working career and your teaching style just hits the spot for me. Your explanation of what, how, when, and why is boosting my skill level by degrees with every video I watch. Thanks again. Cheers from Aus!
Great series on finishing drywall. I never used a hawk in the past, but I tried it on my current project and I really like it.
Hi Jeff, I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I live just south in Kemptville, I started a contracting company 10 years ago after moving here from Alberta. I am doing lots of drywall work these days and have come to enjoy it. Always learning new tricks to the trade and keeping an open mind. Thanks again for the tips!
Just knocked down a wall, did some framing and electrical for a new laundry room. Picked up some drywall and now watching how to drywall. Thanks for all the great tips and tricks....now I know forsure I have to hire someone to do the mudding. 😂😂😂
Mr. Thorman I can't thank you enough for these videos, this is my go to channel for how to work on my house. I don't think I could keep building it on my own without your videos, The mudding is slick, and compared to what a friend of mine did in my other rooms (I'll be cursing the sanding in those rooms I know) your lessons are amazing and I can already tell there will be a minimum of sanding when I get started on that. I'm an adventurous sort, but mudding had me intimidated and I'm so much more confident. Again, thank you. And I'll be Joining because you've saved me so much not just by doing it myself, but my own time and labor.
Hugely informative series. I watched it all. I just finished sheetrocking my woodshop that I built and discovered you just in time. I've done plenty of minor sheetrocking in my life but never watched a pro. With your expert help, there will be a lot less sanding. I really appreciate it. I subscribed also.
Hey mate I’m about 1200 sqft of drywall up 800 to go and I just binge watched your muddling tutorials I’m happy I will be able to tidy my wall screw ups but terrified about the amount of joint corners edges and screw holes! Lol plus I’m going to triple my mud order! Thanks so much I think I will need to watch all these vids again and again and again
This is great. I have a very poorly done set of garage walls that were repaired many times and painted poorly. I have been so well served by your videos. Thank you so much.
I am looking for a video to determine when a piece of dry wall is beyond saving - in a situation where a lot of damage occurred and also when the painting, taping and sanding was done incorrectly.
Wow. Thank you so much for the how-to lessons. The techniques and the tips have made all the difference, and now I can do it the right way. As is always the case, I didn’t even know what I didn’t know.
thanks for all your good advice . got a job this weekend helping out mate on his kitchen renovation .
really appreciate your job and your channel. I'm a belgian nurse who's based on videos as you make to renew my own house. I va watched this 12 videos about drywall and it's very instructive !
Sorry for my "language mistakes", I usually speak french hahaha :D
Glad to help. And thank you for the english, unfortunately my french is tres mal!
Kudos to you. These videos have really helped me do a much better job. I have always hated doing the mudding on drywall. But now I actually look forward to doing it. Thanks again.
I love your videos. I'm a total novice and trying to learn how to repair a large area of ceiling drywall that has finish (?) coat scraped off. I'm still not certain you mud the entire dry wall before painting. Working through the videos now.
Would love to spend my time on just one project with this guy (free labor, hint hint)....quality workmanship, it shows....Can certainly learn a lot from this man!
was thinking the exact same thing
You are saving me! This is helping me get our living room done before Christmas... THANK YOU!
Love your videos! Thank you for helping me on my very first encounter with drywall. Started a bathroom remodel and almost done now. About to tackle drywall in my den (20' w x 20' w x 10' h, converted 2 car garage) couldnt have even started this without your guidance. Keep up the good work my friend! Again thank you!
thank you so much, I have done all the wrong things when it comes to applying mud. from too much to too little in the wrong places. i am definitely steping my game up with your guidance.
In the market to buy a home! After I do so I plan on learning the tricks of the trade and learning everything thing I can. I’m watching your videos in advance so I can see and learn what to expect when the time comes
Great tutorial.im on the 2nd coat of my basement just by watching this videos.ready for 3rd coat rhis weekend .you can tell he is very knowledgeable guy
Very cool Alain. Enjoy a vacation with all the money you are saving.
Hurricane Sally did a job on my house. No HO insurance. So I'm trying to DIY on repairs. I have a wall next to my fireplace that I had to remove because of mold. I also have a wet bar on that side of the fireplace wall. I cut the existing drywall from ceiling to the top edge of the countertop backsplash. Now I don't know how to attach the new drywall to the existing old drywall at the backsplash edge since it is even with the backsplash top edge. I'm not able to reach behind the drywall due to the fireplace brick wall. I have pics if you would like to have a visual of the mess. I would be so grateful for any suggestions. Thank you and I can tell you take pride in your work. Noticeably a perfectionist. You're awesome.
I use two of benches with a 8' - 13' extendable scaffolding stretched between them.
Really nice control on the mud and trowl.
Really great that you taught the reason the joint mudding has to be so wide.
great setup. |cheers|!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Have you tried the wallboard bucket blade? It is excellent in a 5 gallon bucket of mud. It is so much better then taking your trowel or mud knife to clean the walls of the bucket. It is so much easier and does a way better job. I clean a bucket wall with my tapping knife. then ran the bucket blade over what I did with my tape knife. Bucket knife won hands down.
I just have to say that your skills and knowledge of your carpentry work is by far exellent!!! I'm want to broaden myself in doing more than just painting to do more carpentry work like flooring and drywall and your video's really give alot of insight for me into doing more. Thanks for sharing your skill work!
Glad to help.
All your information is so helpful. The way you present it is so easy to understand, and put to use. Thanks Im glad I found you...
This channel has helped me so much during my home remodel it just isn't funny. Thank you. Love your videos!
Great.... now I can go back to Home Depot and return all of the wrong tools and materials I bought from the “expert” who lead me around to “get me all set up”.
Thank you.
I’m going to do a great job thanks to you.
Camera guy...
More zooming in plz.
Thx
great series on drywall....reminds me why I do framing. Wish my boss explained things this clearly.
So I'm drywalling my bathroom and it's the first time I've ever done any type of drywall or mudding and I have been watching your videos for a month now and I feel.. I felt like it was going to be cake no problem I knew exactly how to do it from what you showed me I'm already an expert and I haven't even mixed up any mud yet. Then I mixed up mud and boy did I mess it up I just took it all off and wound up getting the drywall all wet it's a mess now but you made it look so easy that I thought it was going to be easy but it is really not that easy so I'm kind of upset with you because you made me feel like an expert before even tried it and then I had a complete failed attempt so I'm going to try another attempt tomorrow hopefully it will go better. But I wish you didn't make it look so easy cuz it's not. I really enjoy watching your videos though he do a great job I just wish it was as easy as you make it look :-)
Once you get going, his tips are great. I was in the same boat- taking off tape and reapplying, making big messes, but after you do a few corners and walls you'll get the hang of it. Good luck!
Hi, I tried not wetting my tape, like Jeff, but after a couple of botched attempts, I broke down and wet mine before applying it. This helped me imbed it into the mud and get a smooth first coat. Maybe when I get better at it, I won't have to wet the tape, but it did help me. Maybe that could help you a little. Good luck!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your channel is amazing. I can not express enough thanks. You have enlightened me beyond my expectations. Thank you!
Thank you so much for all your videos, they have helped me tremendously in my own DIY projects in my home that the results amazed my friends and family so they ask me to work on their homes so much that I started to do this as a side job and I couldn't done it without your help, again thank you so much!, keep up the great job, I enjoy watching your videos and I'm learning a bunch.
Very cool my friend. A taper is born. some people just have it!
