[@catzbear66]

Glad for the confirmation, I can remember you completing your bedroom ceiling like this, thought the upload was a repeat.

[@leabarto8156]

You say you're not very good at drywall...I beg to differ. I'm a contractor and I think you are very good at drywall and everything else I've seen you do!!! Great job!

[@leabarto8156]

@Tim Lachapelle keep your negative comments to yourself. Jerk

[@skyz3160]

As always, you pay attention to even the smallest details and inform us how and why you do it! Great teacher!

[@dianewilliams9858]

He Does!! Ashley explains a lot too..i.e.I had no idea the difference of saddles, harness, I've learned a lot from both of them 💙💖 One of the many reasons I love watching their videos!!

[@maryannanderson1744]

[@michellejaggard9657]

You explained that very well about the dry wall seams. I have taped and mudded a few in my day but didn't know this trick. Thanks for sharing. Learned something new today. Room is looking great.

[@mjc42701]

I can't wait to see Belle's reaction to her new room, great parents to remodel this the right way, it's so important for a young girl to have her special space.

[@maxineward6146]

Can't wait to see the completion of your home when done

[@maryleblanc1788]

Geez at first I thought that the butt board was something you made to sit on to rest and take a break between working. DOH! 😀 Seriously you guys are doing a fantabulous job!

[@ericflory746]

Bet you thought I couldn't do it but here it is. Rerun gangsta

[@diyfferent]

lol

[@smallfootprint2961]

Great progress. Video was clear to me, but I watch them all, so it made sense. Belle must be getting excited. Hi Belle!

INGENIOUS METHOD FOR END JOINTS. THANKS FOR SHARING THAT!

[@TheGinger062964]

Great job! I wish I could hire you for some much needed repairs around my home.

[@anitajinfla9762]

Great job improvising....hope none of the plastic ripped. You both did great! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@stevehammond7485]

Good job. It helps if you leave out the screws in the last joist before the butt joint until after you install the butt board. The drywall is more able to flex into the butt board. I was thinking of making some kind of butt board and your solution is great! Thanks.

[@chichi6796]

Wow. I always hated joining wallboard and was never happy with my job. But I learned something today.

[@pollyanne9973]

Love the way you share what you know from experience.... keep up the good work guys !! Carole from The UK.xx

[@robinr.770]

[@joannbirdsong583]

Ingenious. You could make a lot of money doing this for other people. I would hire you in a New York minute. Too bad we don’t live close to each other because I have a few projects in mind.

[@Indy_Moon]

I can't wait to see Belle's face when her room is done💖💗

[@haydenuk02]

We do our own work and appreciate tips like these. This bedroom like the last, will be fantastic when it's finished!!! 😊

[@fab4gal342]

You make everything look so easy! I suppose it is when I'm at home watching YOU do it...haha!

[@maggiecreech8244]

Great job as usual.

[@DonnaRatliff1]

Doug, you look like an exceptional drywall guy. Wow you always make remodel look so Easy! Lol Great job! 👍

[@vaeagle1]

some drywall adhesive would have made your seam stronger to prevent future contraction cracks since the attics temps will change with seasons.

[@interestedobserver9352]

It makes perfect sense. First time I heard of this. I did a lot of dry wall work in an old house I had once but never heard of a butt seam. Where did you learn about building? You are doing a great job and it must be very gratifying.

[@supramby]

Bravo

[@Tigerratcat]

Awesome hack, good workmanship. In Australia we’d use stud adhesive as well as screws. Also I think your taping mud is a little thick. Wouldn’t hurt to mix in a little more water next time

[@FrancoDFernando]

Nice...I'm about to redo my garage and this knowledge will come in handy

[@vickierickson3402]

Wow! When I think of the plaster I’ve used and the time I have spent over the years struggling with end joins! Makes me want to start a project just to try this. Well........... Maybe not😋

[@EC4400]

It is coming together vry nicely. Well done. Belle will really like her room.

[@thankfullpriscilla291]

Good rework of the video. 😀🔨🛠️📐

[@patriciahorton8588]

So excited for Bell, hurry up cant wait to see it done. Lol

[@dianewilliams9858]

I can only imagine how your neck and arms feel after that reaching and looking up for extended times..😵one thing for sure you stay focused to completing a task.💙Moving right along.😊..is Belle trying to get sneak peeks into the room?? When I was her age I would have been working my parents nerves trying to peek in😂😂😂

[@cherylt8590]

ty for all the tips,you two are so awesome😆💙👍😊....

[@melanieeaton7302]

Great job you two!!! I so enjoy your videos.

[@archangel6415]

Just a couple of suggestions, the board behind could be much narrower 2-3” wide would do! And the joint should be left open 1/4 inch. I guess you will not be using stiff insulation in the ceiling. We in the U.K. often skim the entire ceiling with plaster. However, you did very well to achieve the finish you got, well done.

[@wendy54321]

God bless you and your family

[@the_hunterghost9231]

Got to say that is very genius idea .. I might take it to my next projects
