Over the years, I cannot tell you how many times SeeJaneDrill has helped me with small projects:) Thanks Jane!

[@marymathis9299]

My goodness, Girl!! You just do everything!!! And you give it to us so we can too! Thanks so much! As always, clear, helpful and upbeat. Love listening to your voice!

[@deemail100]

so excited to see the serengeti texture...I have ceilings that the previous owner simply never textured at all, he just painted the wallboard surface.... thank you so much for this demo... I have 2 popcorn ceilings to remove and then I can resurface the entire ceiling in my open area.... (part of the prob...1 open area has 2 popcorn sections, 1 painted flat wallboard and 1 wallboard with a flat skim coat that just stops....ahhhh!!!!) really thrilled to see this solution...something I can do myself with long-handled rollers...love your videos...watch every one.

[@richardhorner1190]

Love your videos on wall texturing. I'm a DIY person. Redoing the soffits in my wife's kitchen. Well, I couldn't find the roller in my time frame, so I purchased a foam roller from Lowes and made my own pattern. My wife loves it. It was an education to say the least. I did a Lilly bouquet. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@marishka1122]

Leah, I love your videos!! You have given me the confidence to tackle so many diy projects. I so appreciate your knowledge, calming explanations, and easy to follow directions. Last summer (with your help) I replaced kitchen cabinets and countertops by myself. I am next going to texture my ceiling with help from this video. You are a true gem. Thank you!

[@livingasimplelifestyle6672]

Love this! Wish I had know this last year when I redid my walls. I had to hand do it with ragging method. This would be great to mix your paint in with it and save time on painting. Thanks Leah.

[@mc4kvb]

Great demo Leah of the difference in the 2 kinds of new rollers. My Uncle George is long passed but he was a sheet rocker and he did all of the designs on the wall himself with different trowels and sponges. He did some beautiful work, I really miss him. When I would go to Indiana to visit family he would put me to work carrying those big 4x8 sheets of sheet rock. I didn’t think my hands would ever heal, lol. Thanks for this video and giving me great memory of my Uncle George.

[@seejanedrill]

Hey Becky!

[@Noahsoak]

Leah, thanks for the great videos and encouragement!! I have a horrible finish on my kitchen ceiling. No joke it looks like heavy swirled merengue (misspelled, lol). It has a shiny paint as well. Boo hoo. Would this process cover over that? Regarding the paint, would it have to be sanded in order for the drywall mud to stick? Thnx!

[@imsouglymycatlaughs]

Thank you so much for your videos! As the alpha female in my house (rawr!!) I have had to learn to do all the maintenance and what not for my house. You have been incredibly helpful. Thank you! 😊

[@uncleblack7322]

so many great ideas, can't use'um all, just love for infor....great job..thanks Leah

[@PaulPeck]

Great video Leah. I definitely think the texture shows truer when rolled over the smooth skim coat. As opposed to going over the roller stipple created when the joint compound was applied. Take care my friend, Paul

[@seejanedrill]

Hey Paul lets do a collab.....lets talk.

[@PaulPeck]

Oh my gosh Leah, I would love that!!!

[@Barbarra63297]

Much better result when you start with compound that has been smoothed, seems worth the little bit of extra effort!

[@jeroldnorth2416]

Another very good video Leah.I have learned so much from you. Take care now !!

[@kristiemiller3379]

Awesome video. You gave me the confidence to try this on my daughters bedroom ceiling

[@monicapttrsn]

The Serengeti Brush pattern is beautiful!

[@Jandavis57]

Love your videos, Leah! I have hand textured this& similar patterns using a multi tool. So satisfying when it’s done! Go grrrl! 🌈

[@seejanedrill]

🙂

[@Texmaniac]

Great job...thanks for the confidence you give me to try these jobs.

[@lorettamejia1643]

Thank you, Leah! I just love your videos!! Keep them coming.

[@seejanedrill]

you're very welcome!

[@semco72057]

I remember the other video on using textures, and this one is nice also. The problem I had was trying to put up ceiling tile by myself, and then applying textures on the ceiling.

[@veronicacamargo7459]

Thank u!!!! Love how make everything simple

[@ketuketu1567]

Love your video, thanks again for another great idea! You rock!

[@kebeaux1973]

You know when you click on a video and you realize it’s by someone you like? Well when I find one from Leah I’m like this will be good. 😀

[@ferenkmendez2083]

Amazing thank you for share, already learn a lot from you. God bless you.

[@tom7601]

Textured walls make great dust holders! Using a 2X4 to knock down the texture gives a smoother surface and reduces the dirt-holding pockets...

[@InfoTYML]

tom7601 Hi Tom7601, would you happen to have a short video of your process. I'm looking to get rid of my texture walls as well. Thanks.

[@Noahsoak]

TYML I used a 6" drywall knife for knock down. Stronger? I'd use a 10". Lol

[@InfoTYML]

Melissa Thank you☺

[@canelaMtyNL]

I love this texture examples because when I scraped my ceiling I found hard old text so it isn't smooth 🙄 but this will help me si much! Thank you Lia, Im the hard worker wife😀

[@tinypinky6453]

Leah you rock!!!

[@roxannemartinez1448]

thank you. i needed that great information Leah. Roxanne

[@ezatullahebrat3368]

Nice product I will buy one of it

[@maryannnichols1043]

This is very helpful! Do you apply pretty strong pressure as you roll with the texture sponge/roller? Thank you!

[@ladyred4334]

Thanks Leah!! Should you prime over your texture before painting?

[@billybob-ey3re]

Do these rollers work fine if you want to do a knockdown method? I was thinking with as random as a pattern as what the serengeti offers that it might work good for knocking it down afterwards.

[@cindywhite6718]

Hi I'm from the UK and I need help please. Can you paint straight over joint compound or would I have to prime before painting on top. Many thanks

[@laurielauer7042]

You mentioned this is good method for a popcorn ceiling. Since the ceiling has a deeper texture, would you suggest to try to get off as much of the popcorn first or just use extra plaster?

[@elained2448]

Another great video! Our home is wall to wall sharp, pointy joint compound. I wonder if the first owner was wanting orange peel and the plasterer didn’t finish it off sometimes to soften up all the points. Some of the bumps have been known to cut fragile skin. This may be an answer to my dilemma. Thank you Ms. Leah! As promised, we supported those who support you, even found recipe cards from Rite in the Rain, thank you!

[@seejanedrill]

that is awesome, Elaine, thank you so much!

[@Donna-vh5ym]

Leah, we're remodeling a mobile home and removed the batten strips. Do I need to use a pva primer before rolling on the texture?

[@wisegirl99]

Leah, I have a question for you. I just watched your texturing video that was through Zillow on KZbin. You mentioned to prime the walls before texturing. I just removed all of the texture from my bathroom ceiling. I have some holes to fill with joint compound before texturing. Do you suggest priming the whole ceiling after all my patchwork is done, and before texturing the ceiling?

[@joeyjanasov165]

What mud should I use? I have a 3’x 3’ area to do a patch piece of drywall ceiling. Water pipe woes. 😭

[@usborn8388]

Hi Leah! I just found you! Where have I been? Thank you for your videos and I have one question when you’re rolling out this joint compound can you add paint color to it and what types of paint to skip the painting process when you’re finished with the texturing?

[@vancamerawoman7399]

Could a system like this work on rough and painted cement?

[@luofan689]

hi seejane do i need to mix sand with joint compound is better?

[@roymarable5860]

I need advice. I own a mobile home. It has insulated textured panels on the ceiling. I is impossible to buy new panels. In the bathroom I have water damage from a leaky roof. It’s fixed. Is it recommended to put drywall over the existing panels? Or should I cut the old panels out? Should I use the green water proof drywall? What thickness of drywall should I use? I plan to cut out the damaged section. Screw shims the thickness of the good panels. Add any necessary blocking. Screw drywall screws into the panels to hold them in place while I install the new drywall. Remove the decorative plastic washers holding the panels in place. Then install drywall as normal. Please give me your advice.

[@donnafrench3338]

Can I take more than one day to complete the texturing? I have a 450 SqFt, ceiling not sure If I can complete it in the few hours after work.

[@TheBayoubreeze]

Perfect timing. I took out a double door stand away closet and am left with the surounding walls that are a sand texture and where the closet stood is flat. I kept thinking how am I going to bring these together since I didn't want to paint w sand? Perfect solution. Thank You so much!!!!

[@seejanedrill]

Good luck with your project

[@estherakpan5804]

Do we have to paint over it when it is dry or can it be left as is?. Ceiling.

[@jillianfust7135]

At the 1:10 mark what type of roller are you using to apply the compound?

[@lovliesusie1]

After you texture a ceiling do you paint it?

[@mackiemackie9870]

Can you paint/prime over these patterns??

[@kpenteysussanadoeyo1502]

Please where can I get some of the roller

[@TracyRhodes768]

Is this good for bathroom ceilings?

[@finahence9354]

I felt so empowered aFter watching your video a gazillion times!! Then armed with rollers ranging from 1/2 to 3/4 in nap, I set off...and it ended poorly!!! My son and I can not get the mud right! We have gone through about 6 rollers...and if we put it down on the first roll then rhe mud is picked back up when we roll over it again. 😒 What is the trick? Any suggestions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thank you!

[@weston0614]

Thank you Leah. Great video. I do wonder if the roller is able to get into the edges by the ceiling.

[@seejanedrill]

The roller gets close but usually you need to use a paint brush with texture on it and dab the edges.

[@PaulPeck]

That would be cool if you could somehow make a trowel to picture frame the texture, so the corners wouldn't have to be dealt with.👍

[@weston0614]

seejanedrill .... Makes sense. Thank you Leah!

[@tinan1103]

Another interesting video! Is it hard to paint over a textured wall? Do you use a roller and touch up with a paint brush or sponge?

[@seejanedrill]

Hello Tina, It's not difficult at all to paint over a textured wall, just use a paint roller with at least a 1/2 inch nap.

[@sajidullah]

Now my next texture job is easy .. thanks

[@seejanedrill]

🙂

[@felixramos720]

Oh Leah U are so amazing, this is beautiful I want to do this to my house in a future, where do I get the rollers and how do you call the compound? Do U think Home Depot or Lowe's has it? Let me know please.

[@seejanedrill]

Lowes and Home Depot carry joint compound but not the texture roller. You can sometimes find the rollers at building supply stores. For your convenience I've placed a link to the rollers in a link in the description below the video.

[@felixramos720]

seejanedrill. Thanks so much

[@Joani161]

I would like to see how you dampen the roller so it is not sopping wet. Do you spray it or dip it?

[@billybob-ey3re]

A few sprays from a spray bottle will work great. Otherwise you should be able to dip a paint brush into some water and use that to coat the roller.

[@kathyb3619]

Another great video, Leah. Would this work to hide a popcorn ceiling? I’m trying to avoid removing my popcorn ceiling (talk about hard work!), but I sure would like to hide it. If this method would not work, do I have any options other than wetting and scraping it? A friend has already told me, “Just don’t look up!”

[@seejanedrill]

Well, I'm afraid that this will not hide "popcorn". You're friend my have a point 🙂

[@cooleo9853]

Leah do you have any videos on how to cut paneling?

[@seejanedrill]

not yet

[@paulortiz1639]

Leah i love your videos were do you get ur rollers

[@seejanedrill]

Sometime you can find them at building supply store which cater to plaster and cement materials. But it's easiest to purchase online at amazon. I placed a link in the description below the videos.

[@jaimac2007]

Do you need to sand the ceiling before applying the joint compound?

[@seejanedrill]

Not usually. Joint compound is made with an adhesive.

[@jaimac2007]

Thank you

[@ssdtrain1]

Is that first roller you used a "textured" roller? or just a plain 1/2" nap roller..

[@seejanedrill]

Plain nap

[@luvlynking7152]

I love these texture rollers.. If the texture prints are painted over, does it tend to hide some of the design ?

[@seejanedrill]

No really' unless the paint is thick and the texture is light.

[@luvlynking7152]

@@seejanedrill Thank you.. That's kinda what I was thinkin, just wanted to make sure 😊👍

[@dancingaloneduringcoronast5771]

Leah where do you get the two rollers

[@seejanedrill]

You can purchase them on Amazon. I placed a link in the description below the video.

[@thelittlekumquat8014]

Can you do a video on how to remove texture from a wall? My father had some plaster I think splattered on the wall a couple of years ago. No one Really like it, so we want the walls smooth again lol.

[@alexahernandez6496]

Little Kumquat splattered is easy to work with..ill take 2 coats of regular mud...first one médium. And second one really thin...let it dry for about day and a half so you can sand it off..good luck

[@thelittlekumquat8014]

Alexa Hernandez Thank you so much for the help.

[@alexahernandez6496]

Little Kumquat any time

[@andyroberts4089]

It would be interesting to knock down those patterns after applying them.

[@seejanedrill]

Interestingly, we did knock down the textures but decided to edit that out because the video was too long. Now I wish we had kept that section of the video in...oh, well.

[@kevinwilson6786]

All we are wondering is where to get the rollers. Why does it have to be a secret? Is there any way that you can just tell us where to get the rollers?

[@HAMRADIOJOE4178]

NICE

[@seejanedrill]

Always nice to hear from you HAMRADIOJOE!

[@dinokivericfilms]

I was always wondering how that was done lol

[@debbielopez66]

U can put this on the paper side of the sheetrock

[@gunfighterdrummer]

A lefty!

[@mikehill5301]

I enjoyed that 3 seconds of silence on the 1st demo.The love affair is off.

[@saulgoodman2018]

That bear claw is making me hungry.

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

Apparently, the lovely attorneys have been meddling here.

[@BloodTar]

"smooth pallet"? I think you mean a smooth (clean) canvas.

[@seejanedrill]

oops! You're right.

[@Hhhhhgggihgdd]

I tried that on a wall and it turned out like crap because you could see where I started and stopped.

[@stephenmanning4504]

Better put some water in the joint compound I ended up pouring a gallon of paint into the joint compound and mix it together that way I didn't have to paint I got it all done in one

[@kebeaux1973]

Stephen Manning that doesn’t sound like it makes a very good surface. How’s it work?

[@isaacjuan1234567]

this rolls wont work if ur doing a big wall just small walls

[@lynnettereede6887]

We called that pattern "Spanish Texture"...

[@saulgoodman2018]

Who is Jane? Why is it called See Jane Drill, and not See Leah Drill?

[@seejanedrill]

The channel name was inspired by the book series, "Fun with Dick and Jane."

[@victorvek5227]

Sorry, these are all horrible.
