My dad and I are finishing our basement together (finally) and it was your videos that gave us the courage to do it. Thank you so much, you’re amazing!

[@kimejs79]

You are one of the best teachers on KZbin on home renovations, period.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thank you for the vote of confidence. Really appreciate hearing from our viewers.

[@heatherbrown9404]

Appreciate the pace of information. it's not painfully slow. Gets right to each tip in a natural flow.

[@catamenia_]

I have no intentions of building a wall, I don't even know how I got here, but I stayed because you are an amazing teacher!

[@katie2920]

8:47 I am in complete shock of this trick! LOVE IT!

[@shug6009]

Did a paid job armed mostly with just knowledge from this series. Just wanted to take the time and say that you're super knowledgable and more importantly a great teacher. Thanks!

[@joshwhojames]

This man is a professional. Good to see people with knowledge making videos also👊

[@MAGAMAN]

Too True. Unfortunately these guys usually get buried in the search results the younger retard crowd who have no clue what they are doing.

[@mirosep7403]

This series gave me the confidence to attack a small basement room (5' x 8') for my homebrewing hobby. I had great confidence and all went well until the mudding. I used all the tools and techniques that you described. It sure looks easy when you do it,. When I was doing it that just was not so. I consider myself a handy DIY'er and have done ceramic tiling (backsplash, floors) some framing, hardwood floors etc. I found that there is a need for experience of many hours before an amateur should attempt doing drywall mud. My sesults were not the same as your video. There are so many variables and I think there is little room for eror to get a professional job. The use of the trowel was achallenge as the trowel would tend to wander resulting in ripples. I ended up over applying and generating a ton of dust when sanding it down. Also found manuu pin holes in the mud at my prime check. In the end this experiment has resulted in me deciding NOT to do th erest of the basement. I guess the positive is that Ilearned my limitations on a small project and did not waste my time nad money on a bigger one. Thanks Jeff PS Perhaps there is a video to address some of the issues that DIY'ers will run into? Maybe you have one but I did not see it?

[@prestonhoover4412]

Hey man! I can’t thank you enough for these videos. My dad was never taught any of this, hence neither was I! I followed your video on cutting a room before painting (not the name of the video) it saved me time and MONEY by top laying blue tape and it looked phenomenal. I have only gotten better with my painters brush and I feel like I am doing it right for the first time! Again, thank you!

[@stevenberven6235]

Awesome. The "which screw to buy" alone is worth it!

Good video but the music in the background is annoying

[@eboneplummer2922]

I just bought a town house 2 years ago I cant afford a contractor so I'm deciding to do it myself (with a little assistance of my son) This was so helpful Thanks

[@DBarryHaire]

I like your videos because they are clear and concise. Not a lot of fluff but straight to the point. Your framing videos are excellent too! 👍

[@WolFv38]

About to tackle a laundry room project. All I can say is you are awesome and have given me the insight and confidence to get it done! Thanks a million! Best regards!

[@bigoballs672]

Cut the music

[@rayeason5058]

I have watched all 13 episodes and I doubt that I have ever seen a better "how to video!" Too bad for me that there was not an internet when I finished two basements years ago. I could have reduced my dry wall time by 70% or more. As a one man crew, I had to "invent the wheel" on the means to lift 4x8' sheets up to the ceiling!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

We have all been there Ray. That is one of the reasons why I love doing these videos so much. Try to help others so they can learn from my pain.

[@mr1980as]

Drywall hanger here 25+ years experience....you don't always run your router aka cutout tool counterclockwise. On electrical boxes and window frames with trim yes, but on inside doorways and a window without trim such as a wrapped window you can run it clockwise and it will ride along the wood(residential) or metal (commercial) and make a clean cut.

[@contemplate-Matt.G]

Also, spend $120 and get a cordless drywall gun for heaven's sake!

[@angelafb2]

Hi, After many years ot learning from the internet, I've never made a comment until now. Awesome videos, great teacher... just wish I'd discovered this at the start of building my own house and not at the finishing stage.

[@lucas_skillboy1982]

Congrats!

[@michaelmorse6478]

Thanks for the tips I've been falling all your video's. Just finished bumping my walls out in my daughter's room. It's all diy im a mechanic by day. All your vids are very helpful thanks again!

[@davealessandria3034]

Concise and packed full of great info. A real gem. My one criticism is the music. I'm trying to listen to what you're saying. Anything else is just a distraction.

[@monikarobinson2887]

This is great. He's easy to understand and I am able to get my renovation done myself. Just understand that I'm 64 with only framing experience and never touched drywall. I'm almost finished with my drywall install now. Just a really helpful video.

[@collinyoung8837]

Loved the tip about reversing a screw never knew that !

[@rocklee4572]

I've worked with a lot of screws in my life, that is not good advice.

[@edt5276]

Perfect videos! Everything we need to know; nothing we don't need to know. Thanks for not wasting our time with jokes, etc.

[@rocklee4572]

Thank you! I worked hard on this video and have over 50 years experience in drywall

[@eternalfizzer]

Start to finish - best diy series I've seen. I just retrofitted the drafty extension on a 125-year-old house in time to surprise my Dad when he arrived for Christmas. The result was eyes-wide "Wow!" Proper priming and a good coat of paint hide my first attempts at plastering :-) Your tips really reduced the aggravation of a first-timer tacklinga tricky job single-handed. Thank you for the personal responses to my questions - you got me past the most intimidating moments! And I won't avoid the next plastering job.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Dude, comments like this is why we do this channel. Love to hear a good success story. Cheers!! and have a Merry Christmas with the family.

[@wisolutions]

My project where I am at: I have a room that was partially drywalled by my significant other years ago before we were together. Just the walls were done in a newbie fashion. The main objective was used what she had on hand and cover as much wall as she possibly could. The tape used is 100% fiberglass taped, as this was the thing suggested by all local hardware stores to her. So it was partially taped and mudded and the drywall is almost all hung until you come to tricky parts in the wall. Just do to the fact that she had run out of drywall. Now the number of years this has been hanging is about 15-years give or take. During this time, the ceiling, which is lathe and plaster covered by acoustic ceiling tiles, started to fall off exposing the old plaster. It had holes in it and insulation was falling out. So I said, "heck on it time to tear that down." I got a demo bar, a Tyvek suit, and respirator. Tore it down went nuts no more lathe and plaster ceiling! Where I have questions: Strapping, I wish you would have started with this! Absolutely zero drywall vids for the ceiling cover installing strapping on the ceiling and do not answer the question as to if it is a requirement or not. I was actually under the assumption that just like walls, I could screw to the studs without strapping and it would work just fine. I don't mind strapping the ceiling at all, to be rather honest. Understand the wall was put up long before the ceiling was an issue! The spaces in between the wall and ceiling are rather odd. Some spaces look as if I could use 2x4's for strapping instead of 1x3 if this makes sense. I would love to at least get the drywall ceiling up here as it is approaching winter and I will be losing a lot of heat into the uninsulated attic. I am also kind of on a relatively fixed budget, so I don't know that I would be able to spend a whole ton of cash insulating the attic this year, as I must get this ceiling finished up. Spray foam for me is out of the question I've seen the horror stories if it doesn't cure right. I eventually want to finish my attic as well down the road. But aside question with attics, 'Do I need to leave the vents open in the winter or can I plastic them up? There are a lot of small leaks elsewhere to eliminate some heat loss during the winter while still allowing enough air exchange?' Where do I go from here when installing the ceiling strapping? Is it a requirement? Can I use thicker strapping or possibly use no strapping and baseboards on the ceiling to get a halfway decent look? I would love it to look good. One other thing is on one wall it sticks out quite a bit on due to the fact when it was drywalled they left lathe along the bottom and screwed to it. One thing to note the fiberglass tape in her case did, in fact, stick to and is still sticking to regular all-purpose mud even after all of these years. My experience I expect to rough it out here it may take me quite a bit of time to get around to finishing and such I don't know that it will be 5 days in and out for me as this will be my first time touching a piece of drywall but it really is my only option at this time. Thanks in advance and forgive me for the long comment and possible grammar errors. Finally would love to say wonderful series by the way and would like to have permission to copy this material for offline viewing on a battery powered device as my electrical will likely be out when going through the motions here and I will likely want to refresh right before working on these things. But I did watch from start to finish not skipping a beat while I have a good working knowledge of a variety of things and am a likely candidate for just about anything I do not retain everything, unfortunately, I've done and tried so many things over the years it just is not possible.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

in an old house i would use the strapping to keep the dimensional lumber from twisting. 1x4 can cover a 30 inch gap just fine. make sure to add a vapor barrier plastic sheet first. Cheers!

[@theoldfart454]

the whole playlist on how to do drywall from hanging to tape and mud is very instructional but i would like to see it done not like a pro but a full blowen novice that has no idea what to do and to use the basic tools that one could afford . like when you are mudding and taping all i could get was a 10 inch knife and one of those buckets .and lets say with the mud how do you mix it and how thick or thin it should be for each coat . I have seen how to mix but nobody explains how much water or the how thick or thin the mud should be. I have watched all of the vids you have done on this but I am still having trouble with the mud not being able to get it to smooth out and leaveing inperfection so after it dries and I sand it I am constantly remudding spots that are like missed spots that the mud did fill in . I as someone that has no idea what I am doing wrong and what should have been a few days is turning into a nightmare of a week . If you read this I thank you for the dyi vids and you time

[@rileyskov3905]

Loved the tip of putting the drill in reverse to prevent splitting. I've never heard of that and am anxious to try it! Another great video, keep up the good work. One question for you, is it frowned upon or more of a nuisance to install the drywall vertically in attempts to avoid more butt joints? Thanks!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Vertical installation can be tricky if your studs are not all in the perfect location and level. You will end up spending a crazy amount of time installing this way. Better to just stay tuned for our how to tape drywall series coming soon. It has already been shot and is due to come out this summer.

[@jeffreylonigro1382]

Riley Skov I’ve done it that way and it comes out great! Best drywall ever! But...I only hang drywall that way if I did the framing myself and I know it’s right.

[@j.vonhogen9650]

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY - With metal studs it's really easy to install drywalls vertically.

[@channelbizt]

Thanks for a great video. By the way, why did you use strapping on the ceiling? Why not just attach the drywall to the joists?

[@chrisdheinen]

man, this is great instruction, thank you so much for making these vids

[@Sparty1966grad]

Instead of a roto zip you can use a dremel with the adapter and bit that turn it into a roto zip. Not quite as fast but it works perfect.

Never prepared for jobs and always stuck with having to make the wrong tools work. Not one clamp in the work trailer but that is a whole other thing. He also refused to teach me how to do anything and he knew that my experience was lacking.

[@shericreates]

So here I go! I’m starting the drywall replacement after roof leak throughout the house. Any suggestions on how to remove the drywall on the ceiling without 3 feet of blown in new insulation falling on your head? Hmmm maybe a 1x2 strip of wood with a plastic tarp attached to it. Open long side of seams, and remove screws. Slide the strip of wood over the underside of the drywall, between the insulation and the back of the drywall and tack to the ceiling. Hopefully that might catch a big portion of it. Don’t know what else to do.

Do I have to [put the special cocking on every seem? and where do I put it for electrical? I am actually in Ottawa.....like you

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

fire rating does not require caulking unless you do not tape the joint. It also does not require caulking around electrical unless you have cut too large a hole. Use a drywall cutout tool that is quite exact and you will be fine. Cheers!
