I have begun to realize that the narration of your videos is really helpful. Some people complain on other videos about too much talking, but you're good at sticking to what's going on and keeping everything nice and smooth. I'm assuming you narrate after watching the video a couple of times and I just wondered if you use a script or notes or if you just wing it?

Maples are usually tapped beginning at 30 to 40 years of age. Each tree cansupport between one and three taps, depending on its trunk diameter. The average maple tree will produce 35 to 50 litres (9.2 to 13.2 US gal) of sap per season, up to 12 litres (3.2 US gal) per day.

I follow both you and Ann, but a tip I learned from doing sheetrock as my job getting me thru High School. If you have a wall over 8 ft you start at the ceiling and put your rip ( that small piece) in the middle and then use a full sheet at the bottom. That way your horizontal seams that you have to tape / finish / sand are at standing height instead of being a foot or so off the floor. Reduces a lot of bending and squatting. Awesome job.

Where I'm from, a dead man is a buried anchor for hauling something out or for use as an anchor to keep from being blown off of a mountainside while getting a good nights sleep. A jack-leg is for wedging into place for the purpose of holding something up. Keep up the good work. Your Montana correspondent, Leland. PS, That donkey is out of shape, poor thing will be much happier with a pack-frame and a long hike.

So what really drives me here is do you have a video explaining how you started,what motivated you to work with wood and tools and how to make it as a full time wood worker? Your opinions and viewpoints have weight behind them so anything you can offer to not only me but the rest of us who don't want to pry will appreciate your input greatly.

If no one else said it - In my experience in Oregon, using mesh tape is only really acceptable if you are using hot mud. Otherwise you can expect cracks or crumbling in the not so distant future. Paper tape, while not as convenient, is required when using standard joint compound. I hope it's held up!

Hi April from England! I call it a Dead Man. We have replaced six ceilings in our house with "plasterboard" (drywall) and nearly had an accident when I was positioning an 8 foot x 4 foot board up to the ceiling with my wife and two "Dead men" to brace it prior to fixing. We just about got it into position when the doorbell rang (it was the guy with the pizza that we had ordered for lunch!).... my wife let go of the Deadman she was holding to answer the front door and the lot nearly came down. I let out a yell and she suddenly remembered the job she was supposed to be doing!!! 30 seconds later all was secured and we got our Pizza...! Oh how we laughed (eventually)....!

Up here in Ontario, Canada it's always a "dead man" too, never heard it called an "old lady" before though I have heard a DIY'er call it "that T stick thingy", lol. Professional drywaller of almost 20 years in the family business with my brother that my dad has run for almost 40 years, born and raised on construction sites - 2 uncles as contractors, cousin contractor, another uncle a mason(RIP), another cousin a structural engineer and a few other family members doing various construction jobs over the years - I've been born and raised in it in a family with probably over 250 years total experience in the trades and never, ever heard that term for it before. But terminology varies from place to place, it may be unique to the area George is from - or even just the crews he's worked around over the years. We don't use them anymore though as we learned it's far easier on shoulders and backs to invest in a good panel-lifter and ensure you get the sheet exactly where you want it without much hassle. Anyways, great video, I enjoy seeing smaller projects like this.

Generally when putting a "tin" roof on you put the screws through the ridges and not in the valley's. The screws here in Australia have a rubber washer to create a weatherproof seal. Having screws in the valleys allows water to sit around the screw rather than just running off.

Recommend using Sheetrock 20 mud for first coat when taping. It dries hard in 20 minutes. Great for more humid areas. Second coat can be premix or Sheetrock 40 so mudding can be finished faster. A downfall and advantage to using Sheetrock 20-40 is getting it in power allows you to mix smaller amounts to desired consistency. Can be found at Home Depot.

I'm a North Carolina mountain boy. "Dead Man" is a term used to describe a buried anchoring structure (such as a PT beam or concrete blocks or old tires) used to retain a seawall or bermed wall. "Old Man" and "Old Lady" refer to assisting devices that make a job easier, such as your t-post to support the drywall. The term came into being as a derogatory description of someone who used such a device, as compared to someone who was tough enough not to need it. Usually those "tough guys" were the ones who crippled themselves on the job proving how tough they were. My favorite "Old Man" is a steel bar notched to fit the back of my Milwaukee 1/2" drill. It works as a lever by engaging a chain that hooks to a structure such a a steel beam, and allows me to use my drill as a portable drill press that will drill overhead and at odd angles with much less effort.

Greetings from Scotland, I have always known your "deadman" as a Dumb Joiner as most dumb (lazy) joiners stand around doing nothing anyway. My taping has always been plaster the seam then set tape on and run the trowel over the seam again setting the joint. Wish you both all the best with your channels.

So I love watching your videos and think your awesome. I'm from New Zealand and am a huge diyer. There's not much that doesn't come out of my workshop around here. I have come to a conclusion that building in the states is very different to here. How come when you build your framing you don't use cross noggins. It makes the framing a lot stronger and stops any twisting of the frame over time. Also when it comes time to gibbing then all you joins are joined on timber this resulting in no flexing of the gib and no cracking in the joint later on down the track. And screwing the top rib of the iron is definitely better than screwing the flat part of the roofing iron. On the flat part it will more likely develop leaks over time. We are not allowed to do that here in nz. The only thing is to make sure you have a clutch on a driver so you don't over screw. Oops that was a bit long winded. Lol.

I've seen April using noggins used in bigger projects and diyer selfers using them on tiny homes too (including in most house framing in the United States). I'm not sure why they didn't use them here. And the screws used in the roofing have gaskets in them so its encouraged to attached from the valley instead of the peak.

Not a criticism just an observation. When putting in insulation tuck the batts up in the cavity and staple it to the side of the boards instead of the face, that way the drywall adhesive can stick to the back of the Sheetrock and to wood instead of the paper
