Before I found your channel hanging pictures was about my diy skill level. Now my floors are ripped up, my sink and toilet are gone, kitchen cabinets gone, and I live in a construction site. My skill level may not be great, but my confidence is 💯🤣
That is awesome! You got this. if you run into trouble join our membership and I can help. Cheers!
S2
This made me laugh so hard! I can completely relate!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY How do I get membership?
It escalates so rapidly. All started at our house with wanting a sliding glass door... which meant moving the electrical box, but while we are at it, we should upgrade the electrical, and while we do that...we wanted to dig a new trench for the electrical line since we were digging up the patio and the old line was well entangled in tree roots. ...but when I sit on my couch where the garage and chicken coop used to be, we can see mountains. (I still need to finish painting tho) This was out we started getting rid of all the aluminum wiring. Tore apart the whole house and are slowly putting it back together with confidence levels on par with yours 💯
After you measure all your protrusions thru the drywall, and write it on the studs, take a picture of the wall. Then you not only have a reference of all those measurements, you have a reference where all the plumbing and wiring is located.!
This guy is the best. Honestly, I’m an experienced DIYer and a construction professional and I still refer to Jeff’s videos every time I take on a project at home to hear some of his tips and tricks. I hope he’s getting rich off these videos because he deserves every penny!
Eh he does some scabby stuff
I agree. I have NEVER seen a youtuber get so much "guy love" , but seriously its well deserved.
they say average channel with 1m subscribers makes $5k a month and Jeff is at almost 3m.
pro tip - drywall square is the exact width of a rectangular electrical box, align one edge and draw both lines. and use a scrap piece of drywall as a space to allow a 1/2 gap at the floor, stop moisture wicking up from the concrete.
Yes, don't let the drywall touch the slab
I was shocked he didn't allow any gap from the slab. Jeff, Jeff, you're not showing us the correct way!!
@@PB4204eva but he's putting it on top of vinyl look tile or tile /so not directly on the slab already right?
He does some scabby stuff, should never have a cut seem of drywall mid wall that’s crazy
I was going to say why not do the second full sheet and keep the strip for the bottom...lol@@WilliamSheehan-xg8hm
Been doing my own amateur drywall for years by myself, I never thought about using a cheat block! That would've made my life so much easier. Thanks for the tip.
Cheers!
Yep that was a great tip.
I never used a block, but I would usually run a couple screws into the studs just below where the drywall would sit. That way I could get it up there and grab my stuff before I pushed it up and started screwing it in.
Starting to do drywall, I am 67 years old and only 5 feet 3 inches tall (short 🤣) I need all the help I can get.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIYjust curious, in the basement, why did you leave the drywall on the floor, and not lift it the ½" imperial, off the ground? Especially in an area with so much plumbing. Started this click bait Title… I was watching you hang your first sheet, and saw that channel for the wires, and was like, 'There's no way, this guy is getting this done in eight hours.' Even if there wasn't humidity or rain. First tip off, was seeing you struggle with the rip you made on the chalk line. You miss measured your water to powder ratio, and added a second pour: immediately I knew your compound was getting tough to work with, before all tape was applied. How you tossed your slow mixer, on the floor after you opened the Premix, there was no way you'd get this done in a day. Possibly if you did your 2nd coat in 90. But the heart wouldn't be dry enough for primer. Did you make any money, after paying for the golf? (Furthermore, exclusively using "45" and paper tape, filling those mistakes from the rotozip, and around the large holes cut out for drainage, wouldn't add any extra time than the expanding foam application.) After a passage of time, like 2 months, the unpainted caulking on the surfaces next to your flat tape, are going to look brownish from dust circulation. Pro tip… paint doesn't 'fill' imperfections. After about 4 days, the paint cures, and hugs the wall, revealing every line from the heavy sanding grit on the sponge. Take the extra hour, and do the additional finish coat of mud. Run a light bulb, and final touch up if necessary, prior to the prime will serve you well, and avoid rework. Don't skimp for a bet. When does gambling ever pay off?
Skills that pay the bills.
Loving it!
Indeed. I've been a student at Jeff-U for couple years, getting those skills, paying the bills. For real this channel has helped me alot and literally puts money in the bank. Great tips and hacks for homeowners and apprentices alike. Focuses on practicality and efficiency is what I like. Lot of expert youtubers with infinite budjets making perfect Mona Lisas... that don't put money in my pocket.
Cheers, happy to help!
Thanks to you Jeff my skills have gone up and my first year in business have been amazing! Cheers to taking the time to teach us!
Fell down the rabbit hole of your channel on a Sunday morning. I’m loving your approach & methods !! I’m a high school teacher and your teaching delivery gets an A+!!!! Thank you for having faith in all of us. You’re my new ‘I gotta’ guy’ 😉 I appreciate you.
Really enjoy the DIY feel of your videos. Simple mistake or accidents that would cause a DIYer to have a nightmare and you show how simple the fixes can be to get back on track.
Honestly you're awesome, I am watching your videos because I just bought a condo that needs a lot of work & I will be doing it myself, your comment about using the 3.00 vs the 300.00 tool spoke to my heart. Thank you for all of these videos.
So thankful I found your channel! We are renovating an old house, top floor first we had just begun demo when our roof started leaking, budget is making us wait on other areas that need renos too while we deal with roof and top floor. Thank you thank you for the tips you share
Jeff - Ive been doing drywall for almost 40 years and once again I learned a couple tricks from you - the cheat block and the spray foam idea - excellent - Lov ya man !!
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE THE BEST TEACHER EVER ! seriously tho… I can learn so easily from your videos ! THANK YOU… THANK YOU…. THANK YOU! 😊
To whoever is reading this keep going, you're doing fine! No matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. Be proud of yourself you got this.❤❤
Thank you so much!
Going through this right now. Each week has been gutting rooms. First the bedroom walls, then the kitchen floors. Found a good floor removal technique and went back and removed the bedroom flooring. Now the plywood and electrical are started in the bedroom. Every weekend I do something else.
Great motivational words,GOD BLESS
Thanks I need this right now!
I have a long journey ahead but so proud of my small wins.
This is awesome, we're doing a whole home renovation for our parents and budget is getting slimmer. So we've decided to take on so of the work. Your videos have been so helpful. God bless you!
This was the best tutorial on any subject I've ever used/seen. I'll certainly be checking for other projects. Thank You !
This is probably one of the best tutoríal channels on KZhead. I love that you don’t cowboy anything and your finished article is fantastic. I’m sitting in my house wishing I could tear out all my walls and do a proper job that the builders here didn’t do from the start
The amount of effort, detail, and straight forward instructions/advice is absolutely worth a follow. Thank you for the content my friend!
Painters tip. Use a mini roller singe the hairs at the button end. Dip, wipe the button clean and let it touch the ceiling to cut in your primer. Gives you just enough space to caulk then brush your finish coats.
I'd like to understand the tip you're trying to share but I don't quite get what you mean?
@@mrreams711 I haven't tried this, but I believe he's talking about using a lighter to singe any stray threads on the roller on the end that has a cap ("button"), opposite the side you slide the handle into. Then you apply paint to the roller, clean off the button so there's no paint on it, and use the button to scribe along the top of the ceiling. Burning the threads near the button makes sure you don't get paint on the ceiling and leave a small gap between the paint and the ceiling.
That is a genius idea! Thank you for saving me hours of hand cutting in
As an intermediate handyman with some drywall experience, a hawk and trowel works wonders for big stuff. If you're curious and wanna try, get a thin one (.04 or .05, Level 5 I know makes them). Once you get the coordination down you don't have to dip in the pan every 3 seconds with your 10 or 12 inch knife. The hawk also works better with a knife because it's easy to clean and continually stir the mud. It only sucks for mixing a small batch.
Love it. As an electrician, I appreciate drywallers who take care around my work. Small tip, I learn it from an old timer they're good for stuff like that cut some cardboard up and stuff it in the boxes to hold your wires back. It's also good when it comes time to mud and paint, keeps the wires nice. Now I know you'd never hit the wires with the rotozip, paint, or mud, but sometimes you never know who's coming in behind you or if you'll be there to keep an eye on em. Either way great video, thanks for the tips. 10/10 as always.
I love the idea of the supposed wood to hold the drywall in place. We have an area that had to be removed due to a leak. This idea will help to hold it in place as it is heavy until attached.
Nice work. Brings back memories of my husband and I's Call Us Painting and Drywall company. Those were fun times and I sure kept skinny and hauling around a 22 foot ladder at times was cool.
I really like the way you are working and explaining the project that you are doing professionally.
Always great videos, Jeff! I hate doing drywall, and I have a studio to get done... What are you doing tomorrow? Want to come down to PA and spackle?? Lol! Great videos, brother!
Not this time. Cheers!
Excellent! We need more guys like you teaching us what for! Carry on!
Best videos on KZhead period. Thank you Jeff for sharing all your experiences with us in a way that is easy to understand and replicate. You are a real sheetRock Star ⭐!
Appreciate all the tips you've crammed into one video. So helpful.
You're an absolute wizard Jeff. Great video thanks
Hola soy Gonzalo Rodríguez me dedico finishing drywall pero disfruto mucho tus vídeos gracias por compartir tus conocimientos saludos desde Edmonton canada
14:56 Where the box looks like it says Max Douche just killed me... My eyes were in notice small detail mode. Amazing video sir! Thank you for teaching!
I don’t have any skills or experience whatsoever in any kind of construction trades and having severe ADHD makes everything a pain in the arse, but I am very grateful for you sharing your skills and knowledge on doing drywall. I mean every aspect from mixing compound, types of compound mixes, methods of taping, applying compound, you name it…… Thank you brother.
You really made DIY drywalling look easy. Thank you for the great tips!
I have a drywall t-square but never thought of using the numbers on it for cut-outs. Nice tip! A roto-zip tip of my own, I used mine as a makeshift dremel, since it has the same collet-size, to make a cut with one of their little diamond blades.
That's a great idea!
Wow I never thought drywall, mudding and paint finish was such a tech job but after watching this I have a whole new level of respect for this trade!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love when it all comes together
"Homeowner that do small projects dont buy 300 tools" 😂😂😂😂 i feel called out
Got in an argument that it wasn’t possible to drywall in one day. For the exact reason why you couldn’t. Dry times are too unpredictable. I have waited a whole day just for 5 min mud to dry. Thank you. This just proves my point.
Thanks for making and posting this video. Much appreciated. -Tom
48:07 made me lol, 🤣 I'm so glad I found this channel because I'm ready to get into the DIY scene!
This video gave me deja vu. Like I was 13yo again on a jobsite with my pops - a master carpenter and incredibly versatile one at that. Your technique and demeanor is like looking back in time. Incredible video and great tips!
I used these tools for two sides of a drywall wall, I'd say the 2nd side of the wall these tools are amazing. I did not know about tapes, so side 1 has cracks, but side 2 was as good as perfect I'd say. Aka after 5 hours of using them they worked absolutely fine
It's so good to hear "use good primer" I'm amazed at people that are "sold on" paint n primer in one. I always wanted to know the paint knew if it was priming or painting. The premise is 1st coat primes second coat finishes. Does not work with new drywall nor old dry walls. You will see every place the paint is sucked into the wall.
You are the Mr rogers of home repair! Love the Channel
I know lots of folks hate mesh tape but what I love about it is you can pre place it on your joints and use up all your hot mud in time.
I only use fiberglass tape. Paper comes off, and it's a mess
also within the 10-15min there is the magictime where the foam has its shell and yet mooshi on the inside and you can form it as you want.. so you can push it inside and will stay that way and be a "closedcell" i do it with the sprayfoam around doors so dont need cut anything and its alot cleaner
50:34 and that's why i continue to watch this channel, Jeff shows us you don't need perfection every time, most often "just good enough" is good enough!
unless you have a 1million dollar home always build to the current value proposition. Cheers!
Yesss!! I love that about him !
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY FA right. Quality, Price, Time - you can pick 2. Workers that don't respect an owner's constraints don't understand the concept of scope. They tend to be ego driven in my opinion and a pain to work with.
@@BobSmith9753that's why it's important to have open and clear dialogue with clients PRIOR to working. Phone calls, and clear quotes, are bonus for avoiding ego driven frustration. (and not gambling with their final product)
Hi Jeff. Fantastic job. Looks great. 👌. Some very useful tips and tricks there. Cheers for sharing. 👍. Brilliant video. Looking forward to many more. All the best. 👍
Cheers Peter!
Love your video's, you do such good work. You make it look easy, but I know it's experience. 😊 Thank you! After watching this I might even try dry walling.
You can do it!
Hi I'm a real drywall finisher all u people that think Jeff knows how to do drywall is because u have never seen a union professional he is an amateur at best with some skills when it comes to drywall patching in would leave him in the dust more than half the guys showing u how to do drywall patch work are truly cluless side by side I challenge u let me know if I can show u a real pro your texture patch work terrible
U can't go into peoples house and do the patch work u do
What a great video, you are really experienced and share information really in depth.
you're my hero man, continu!!!! merci !! Du Québec!
I wish I knew about this channel sooner. I do much of my own work at home as well, but your videos are showing me so many new techniques that I never knew of. I'm short of capital at the moment but will need to be finishing off my furnace room to convert to an office space, and I'll have to drywall, paint, install drop ceiling and hide my furnace and water heater. I'll be utilizing your tips this time as I'm sure it'll help. One thing I definitely need help with is taping and mudding. This has made it easier. Thanks
Try watching my drywall training videos. You can be a master taper in no time. Cheers!
One of your best videos imo.
You're awesome! Thank you, Sir! I've got roots in my 4" pipe, gonna look for a video from you, hopefully, lol.
Wow! Mine sure didn't turn out that smooth..I used a premixed joint compound... But I'm going tomorrow to get one of those tools your using with the mud. Great tutorial! Good to know about to much water creates more bubbles! Thank you
very nice project ,very informative and educative . thank you for the video.
quality content as always. I have a question about your mixing paddle. When you transfer it to the water you do not run the paddle in the water in the drill. I have always had a nice clean paddle after mixing compound I "mix" the water for like one or two seconds and the paddle essentially cleans itself. Have you noticed any difference between the two methods? Or is the cleaning just as easy regardless? Also rarely use 45 min mud usually using 20 minute.
I mix muds and thinsets with a brushless hammer drill and a paint mixing paddle. It’s smaller so it can only do half a bucket at a time but that’s just fine for a 1 man crew.
Hammer drill is the way to go
Oh..those cheat blocks are such a great idea. I think I could use that to help hold up sheetrock for the ceiling in my garage!! Great!!!
Awesome video as always Jeff,GOD BLESS
Thanks, you too!
Thanks for sharing Lance
No problem 👍
Your videos are very good. They are entertaining and informative without the annoying slowness of others.
Wow you so good at it I love tips and tricks you make it look to easy
Yeah I couldn’t get this done in a day. 2 days for me. You’re the boss.
Thank you very much for all day things you’re teaching us it’s really helpful thank you
My pleasure!
My HD didn't have a 4x10 stainless steel trowel, but had a 4x12 for only $15 USD. I picked it up and may be even better than a 4x10! Best thing ever for drywall (I'm renovating a 1950's house) repairs ever!!!!!
I think you did great!! I want to learn it as well...good job👍
Been wwatching your channel since the last few years and its great to see it keep growing. Your info is always top notch.
First, Jeff, let me thank you for ALL you've provided me in the past. I was a paying subscriber briefly but couldn't get my questions answered but I still enjoy learning tips and tricks from you. Let me try a question again: My house is about 50 years old and any time I work on sheetrock I'm left with this conundrum, is it better to rip out floor to ceiling or just say try to repair the lower four feet where a problem requires work. Due to the bowing I've encountered I find it often difficult to line up new sheetrock with old. I'd love some feedback on this question since I'm about to do a complete rehab on a small master bath and the lower 4' of walls outside shower/tub area are covered in tile which I want to rip out.
Flipped off @48:08 🤣😂 Great video, as always.
Great instructions! I only have to fix one spot of drywall thank God. I don’t know how you keep going like the Energizer Bunny!
Amazing work mate! 👏
You should have won the golf bet, your great at home renovating but no one can predict the weather. Great video as always.
Cheers , just happy to have a round with the man!
Never to old Mr Jeff, to tired, yes. Never to old. Anyway a 3 dollar tool to get a thousend dollar result, thats music to my ears. I'm Dutch. And i did my cheetrock wall like you said, 3 years back, with the foam and its tight and straigt and did not crack after 3 winters and summers. It was and still is, very good advice. Didn't do it in a day, menn what a speed. Took me days! But thats totaly fine. I enjoyed it and the result is great. A lot on youtube is making a 20 dollar chair with 10.000 dollar of tools, so, very happy with youre advice and video's. Learned so much. Thanks again, and keep it up, you will get there!
Happy to hear. Cheers to a $3 solution.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY im a 42 year old hearing impaired single mom, renovating my house by myself, even electrical (adding circuit for oxygen machine). This channel has REAL advice. And gives me confidence. what’s that $3 bit called? I need it. And is the t-square the correct name? What kind of knife cuts drywall best? What is the mixer called? Basically i need a punch list for the store and im always struggling to hear the tool names.
Thank you for your videos ❤❤❤
I'm a mom of twin 2 year olds and one on the way and I feel like I can maybe finish my basement myself a little every day during nap time now. Thank you
You can't. I charge way more if a customer has tried, if I even take them on, which usualy, I don't. I'm a drywall contractor who specializes in basements, remodels and repair. I've been at it since 99. If you do manage to persevere through the whole job it will look so bad you won't ever want to go down there and knowone will buy it. If you think I'm being harsh revist this comment after you do whatever you do. Btw I have twins too, they're 4.
You definitely can. Mudding and taping is the most finnicky bit, but the skills and tricks demonstrated here will get you there. You'll see every mistake you make, and you'll remember all of them, and they'll make you feel bad. Don't. Nobody else can see them. Have fun!
@@johnfisher9969 OMG harsh! Reminds me of the scene with Bruce Willis in 'The Last Boyscout' when he wakes up in his car.
Have fun with it. It's just drywall. Anyone who makes you afraid to mess around with it is either a fun-sucker or trying to get your money.
@@BobSmith9753 harsh is when she gets 100 hours in and realizes there's no way she can ever do it and every contractor wants 3 times what it would have cost originally. Don't believe me? I've seen it. But hey how can I possibly know more than you? I'm just a professional drywaller. Besides drywall is easy.
I don't think your wrong. I come here for your expertise. Really appreciate your videos!
The knife/paddle/spatula came from the Union days. Plasters (back in the day of such a skilled trade) or any cement-based worker had to be proficient with a trowel in order to get their ticket and join the Union. As drywall finishers were not towel based trades, they ended up in the Painters union, and painters use spackle, caulk and putty knives on the job site. And thus, a whole industry developed around this new trade with all manner of devices, ready mix materials and pre-creased tapes to improve your home decor. And the plasterers turned up with their real tools, scoffed at the mud pan wannabes and slapped it on the joints with true precision.
I am learning about drywall today just everyday all day and millions times
thank you for sharing your knowledge , I know carpentry , but i have much to learn in renovation / mudding / painting . There's not much help coming from future generation so far , got to get as much knowledge as one can .
I like that tip of screwing pieces of boards on the wall to use as holders for the sheetrock.
Cheers Larry!
Yes indeed, works well and can be helpful with the ceiling when working alone.
I enjoy your videos. Me, i hang the 2nd drywall but against 1st. The smaller piece bottom so fat edge is near floor. IF i do it your way, i use a router and cut fat edge at slant . Makes joint mudding, sanding flush. Less buildout on joint.
I usually use my circular saw to carve a shallow recess for the laundry box brackets to sit down in. Level drywall!
I've done the same, or nail up scrap blocks 1/8" recessed from stud face and attach box to that
Awesome video man
Love your vid Hey what bit is good to fix the gib with
my husband and i have learned alot from you, thanks
Watching Jeff work is therapeutic.
I feel like I just served a crash course apprenticeship. These videos are amazing.
I love your videos, Jeff
Uncle, though old but strong and experienced! I love you!
i've used the priming tip once and it was super helpful, skim coating a wall with deep texture it was difficult to see with the lighting where i needed touchups. after primer i could see the few spots and fix them. great tips.
Glad it was helpful!
I just found your channel and you gave me confidence to do my house without paying someone
Thank you so very much for this video. Wish I had this a month ago but will help me with the rest of my rooms.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your videos. They are very helpful. I'm turning a shed into an office. And I am at the drywall stage. One question, the bit you use on the rotor cutting tool. What type did you use. I tore up an electrical outlet and box because I used a general bit. Now I have to replace the outlet plug. :-(
Thanks Jeff
Cheers Marc!
At my age, home projects have become a four letter word to me. But with your excellent videos it seems to make the jobs less frustrating and easier to accomplish. Thank you
OOOH...... I WOULD HAVE BEEN PISSED! THANK YOU.
The pieces of plastic bucket shavings in the mud is caused by the type of mixer blade used. Try one with round edges
I believe you did 3 layers of mud and used a different type each layer? My question is what are the different types and when to use each one? From a new DIYer
Not scrubbing your mixer of the 45 hot mix is the reason you got chunks in your finish mud. Plus 3 is nice, but you gotta wipe your walls and clean your mixer and trowels before you use it. Also, for rips, make all your horizontal rips with your T square and forget the chalk line except for marking difficult screw lines. Also, thin that plus 3 and roll it everywhere, sand, and that will save a primer coat as well.
