Hey brother . Ive got a 8 x 9 ceiling repair . Basically need to pull old sheetrock down , prep the studs and hang two sheets and a foot strip of a third , mud joints and also match texture finish on the ceiling. i know you cant see the job but can you just take your best guess at what i should charge ?

I subbed your channel the second that mud hit your lip haha much love . Thanks for the info and content.

Thank you First house with tools. Appreciate your.videos

Don’t buy cheap knives….. ! use Stainless steel , they aren’t as flimsy as standard steel , and won’t rust. I was in the union and the best finishers used Stainless , the cheap guys with their cheap knives usually weren’t around long

A prison somewhere has REALLY good drywall

I see you have a bucket of that light green joint compound. I did 3 rooms bedding joints and inside corners. Is that ok? The there seems to be less glue? Ill use plus3 for 2nd coat. Should have used +3 everywhere?

I taped 3 small rooms with the light green 40% lighter usg bucket topping. The tape sticks but seems to peel right off the bed easily. Im going to use plus 3 to top off 2 finish coats. I did a sample tear off with plus 3 and the 40% lighter and the plus 3 leaves some tape on the wall where light green totally pulls off. Any thoughts?

i dont get it. if adding water would make the mud moldy, then what liquid do the mfg use to make the pre-mixed mud? why don't they sell that liquid?

Never thought of ripping the paper tape like that! ...and this message was also approved by the teddy bear review board!

I'm English what is "mud "😢

I had some old drywall that kept releasing the paper from the board and bubbling up real bad. The only thing I tried that worked well was Shellack primer.

I love your channel. I’ve never had a chance to work with anyone to learn drywall and had to learn it strictly by KZbin and practice. I guess it’s worked okay since I make a few thousand a week doing repairs.

Thank you!! Someone who lived in my house before me tried to hang heavy deer mounts on the wall without finding a stud. You can see the two cracks running up and down from the spots they put the screw in. I am going to try and fix it soon

The 12’’ was at 3-4 when you were skimming?

It's amazing to watch a pro just eyeball the mix and then walk through the job site doing his thing at super speed.

I would have called the building inspector. As the carpenter of 50 years that frame job is a klusterfuk

Skim it with quick set

Yes, us gals are here LOVING your channel Sir!!

Fantastic! ...I was wondering how I was gonna navigate a box - I'll move it into a bucket

unfortunately gardz didnt work for me

Thank you for the video. What does it mean when you say "pull it tight" and "skim it down tight"? Thank you

You're in Chicago? I didn't know that. I'm on the north side. Hi neighbor! 🏙😊

Texture shows the imperfections more than smooth does. They stick right out

today I tried using the bazooka for the very first time I should've watched this video again yesterday hahaha I forgot a couple steps. thank you for sharing your expertise to the world !

Actually ray, I'm the taper, and the painter, so we know what it needs to be like to paint, also being a taper, and painter, our prep work always looks great before we paint

When taping I rember you saying you tape the ceiling first but I can't remember if you allow the wall yo overlap the criling tape or if you stop where they meet.

Cracks are from to thick and dry to fast. Fact. Like using a fan to dry a job faster. If you want mud to dry faster use 20 minute mud powder also us it for deep cracks and to fill in deep holes

Drywall bubbles also when you sand and then add more mud even if you wet wipe the dust off

Mud all the way around the rec/light boxes

Flat walls are level 5 so put on 5 coats !

Bro pop them and use onetime

What a great guy. Great advice!

Can i skip the step of removing residual glue after taking wallpaper off and scraping the backing? I started sponging the residual glue and its soooo much work. If i can skip that step with this, that would be amazing

Nice 16’ level 😅 nice lol

Great video. You found a new subscriber. Out of these two products, which one would you recommend for repairing settlement cracks?

Use a sponge 🧽 to feather and wipe with 5 minute mud

Tried today, garbage product.

Informing to push the bid down to the none drywall material was absolutely very very helpful. Thank you so much 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Has anybody else noticed that the five minute is really slow now?

Bro that Mic is legit!!!!!! your old vids were hard to watch. But I still watched them anyway

I wish I could still get USG around me. All we can get is garbage

How it's done

Get some stilts on ya slacker😂😂😂

gait job im a carpenter

sand paper is 60 or

I just add chalkline chalk to time the mud if I want it tinted

Thanks for video.. always love your stuff. I own a older version of that laser....I dont know how I lived without it. I'll add its on 3 years+ old and survived some job site dings/oopsies 😮 Also bought the receiver to use as a transit, I made a Rig out of an old camera tripod ( cuz im cheap 😄). And it works great as a transit to!! Its truly amazing the uses Ive found for it ,and the time it saves.... is unbelievable!! I highly recommend it !! God Bless man!! Wayne

Would you put a control joint in a garage on the wall that has the garage door on it? Between the two walls is definately not 30ft, but I have significant joint cracking on the wall of the garage door (between ceiling and garage door when closed)

Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I've got a peaked ceiling with 7 pine beams spanning the ceiling. Any tips on mudding around a circle on an angle would be greatly appreciated. I am just reeling with anxiety. That's 14 points all different sizes over cabinets in an angle. Just pray for me😅
