This reminds me of my dad's renovation of his parents home back in the early '60s. We (a family of 9) lived in the house while dad reno'd it. I remember helping with the drywall finishing. He took out the wall dividing kitchen/dining room and created a bedroom in the attic above kitchen/dining room.

Yes it takes a while to finish drywall. But the reward of doing it right the first time is wonderful. A tip I can give you guys on your next drywall adventure is, wet sand. Get the grit you want, with one sided sandpaper/foam. Use water bucket the same. Enjoying your channel. Blessings🙂

[@lechatbotte.]

Yay I actually caught you as soon as you put this up. I had an older fellow teach me on a mission trip to fix houses after a hurricane. I’ve forgotten much but the better you feather it the less likely you will have to sand. I loved watching him like an artist painting. Mud, regular paper tape. Either you use premixed or the powder which you add water to. The difference with those is how fast they set. Enough knives for a cutlery store lol wrong knife.

[@janetralph6851]

[@sam-and-angela]

Coming soon!

[@richarddolin9698]

[@pound6599]

The all-purpose green bucket is the best for taping, because it has more glue. It is much heavier than the Plus 3; just lift the container. Plus 3 or quickset mud can also be used. If you add carpenter or wood glue to the quickset compound, you can do the first two coats with quickset, 45-minute for example, and the last with all-purpose or Plus 3. Doing each coat with an all-purpose mud can take forever. I see this video is two years old, but I just commented anyway. I know you put a lot of work into your project, and I know you feel very satisfied that you were able to do it yourself. Good job!

[@b.powell3480]

Everything looks good! They make an outside corner knife as well!! Also, the edges and corners of all the drywall tools are very sharp! they can slice and dice your hands!!

[@Chrispy9393]

Totally agree with the plastic drywall pans sucking. I got one a few years ago, and I had the same problem. Stuff dries and ruins the rest. Then you've gotta try to pick out clumps of dried stuff. Next time I do a big drywall project I'm just going to spend the $10 or so and get a nice metal one.

[@clgriffis56]

Sam the lid colors on mud tell you that the mud is for your first coat or your finished coat. I would recommend to anyone drywalling to keep a 5 gallon bucket of water and a long handled brush in the room and clean your tools often. Looking good can't wait to see the finished product.

[@gelwood99]

I was doing drywall while pregnant and the sponge was the way I went to save my lungs and not breathing in dust. I used a finer-grained sponge and found it did a much better job of spreading and blending the mud. I think the sponge method is a big secret because I never see others using it. Well done!

[@scottfirman]

Years ago I learned to go easy on the drywall mud and use the sponge. That cuts down on the dust. Putting too much drywall mud on means that much more to remove. I got pretty good at doing drywall after a few remodeling jobs.

[@sam-and-angela]

Absolutely! Less is not more, which means not more sanding to get back to a flat surface. LOL :)

Here's a tip for you... Keep a spray bottle on your belt, lightly spritz your trowel on the last pass or two, it makes for a much smoother corner
