Jeff, I'm 70 years old and just spent the most informative 2 hours in my lifetime. Thank you for a great video.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Glad to hear it was helpful Larry. Thanks for commentingagain. Looking forward to your opinion on our new videos coming out.

[@floridasaltamerica4440]

Please name drill and extended drill bit

[@BublisC]

Dewalt impact and just a simple extended philips bit. But, since you are asking, I would not recommend you using an impact unless you are pretty experienced or you will run that screw straight through with that drywall. Get a drywall bit or screw gun that limits your screw depth.

[@MrsAFetzer]

I got confused for a moment..I saw other video ...guys are using some compound to the wood before to install or screw the sheets...so I came back to your videos...and I hear your song...lol...nice touch!! Yes everthing has to be like that!! Happy!

[@2102Chris]

Great video, picked up many good tips from your videos. You are saving people a lot of money with these tips and tricks. Thanks a lot Jeff. Regards from Denmark

[@chuckschmidt3522]

Hey Jeff, I recently started renovating my home and I'm hanging drywall for the first time in 15 years. I watched several of your videos in this segment for a refresher and I gotta say that I learned a few things along the way, things that have saved me work and time. I always considered myself to be pretty good at the art of drywall, mudding and taping but it's always good to learn new tricks. I thought that I'd add a few of my little tricks or adjustments to get your opinion and or to help others who have watched your series too. For starters when taping, you've always gone over the tape with a little mud to "get it wet". It's something that I've always done too because you're right about the bubbles that can appear. To help combat that I started taking my strip of tape that had been premeasured to length, rolling it up and dipping it into water for just a second. Then I'd shake off the excess water and apply it to the wall. Since I started doing that I never had a bubble appear and always had great adhesion of tape to mud. My second comment has to do with one of the last segments, the inspection process with the light. To help myself with that I use a campers headlamp and that way I always have a free hand in case I'm on a ladder or need to mark a spot with a pencil to come back to it. Well that's my two cents worth. Keep up the good work.

[@SurlyGaffer]

Ok, that tip about reversing the screw at the end of the strapping ("See that smoke, Max?") just saved me tons of time swapping drills and making pilot holes. Jeff, you are the master!

[@Asthrou]

I have watched so many How to's for drywall. Frustrated in not knowing why certain steps were taken. I learn most by understanding the whole process so I can better find a fix to a problem that may come up. You invited us into this house, into this job site, and into your mind. You explained everything! I felt as if you were talking and teaching me how to do the job as if I was your apprentice there with you. I plan on watching and studying all your videos for all the knowledge you are offering for free to us. Thank you very much for the amazing video Jeff! Great job editing as well Max!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers to Max, Very true the editing on this video was outstanding. Thanks for your comment.

[@SJHarper79]

This video was immeasurably helpful to me. My drywall repairs are terrible. I replaced all the drywall in a bedroom and the bathroom and they both look bad. I am so grateful for this series. Thank you so much.

[@serendipity0323]

Getting ready to drywall my entire upstairs...my sister and I bought this 80 year old, 1200sq ft house in November 2017 - first thing we did was gut the entire second floor (3 bedrooms - now converted to 2 with cathedral ceilings) because only a few outlets were grounded and everything from floor to ceiling was popcorn stucco...almost 2 years later we are finally at the home stretch. (thank goodness we had other places to sleep!) This was my first reno and I had no clue how much I was getting into.. a lot of lessons learned to say the least! Your DIY vids make me feel sooo much more comfortable tackling this project to its completion. Thank you so very much!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

How is the drywall process going. Need any tips? Cheers!

[@serendipity0323]

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Hey Jeff! Thanks for asking. We are officially starting drywall this Sunday with my team of friends and family. My dad has some pretty good experience with it since he built his home, so he will be there to help, but I will definitely let you know if I run in to any issues! I'm very excited to get it going. We are renting one of the drywall lifts to help make the process go a lot quicker.

[@aejnutrition1]

I have been watching all of your video's and I can't help but to say "Jeff you are brilliant" Thank you for putting this out there so people like me can learn, and most of all learn what not to do. Loving this.

[@triciasalin987]

This is my 3rd video and wow you are a great teacher! My father was a contractor and he taught me many things but some topics we never got into. You remind me of him how its easy for you and easy for you to explain....love these!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers Tricia, happy to help!

[@nancyjonutt5400]

Your sense of humor adds much to the hours I spend learning from your videos. Also, kudos to your cameraman. He gets clear shots of exactly what we need see. And with tired arms, that can’t be easy. It’s also fun cause you’re so cute.

[@bryangatzemeyer1277]

Finishing my basement and based off your videos I am halfway done with no cost but material! Framing, Plumbing, Electrical & Drywall; almost done and looking great. Thank you for keeping it simple, real and cheap! No other do it yourself videos come close. Will post pictures of before and after for my project soon.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks for letting us know Bryan. Looking forward to sharing your success with the DIY CREW!. Cheers!

[@victorventura1956]

I watched the whole series. That was really educational. I have a remodel on a new house we just bought. Not sure I will tackle the drywall job myself (Im 65 years old), but I feel a lot more educated watching the contractors do the process now. Thank you again for a great video.

[@Litlwhit]

Your vids are amazing! After hiring a couple of sloppy workers who claim to know how to do stuff, I have decided I am much more capable myself and why waste another dollar on someone who doesn't take pride in their work. They do it fast, sloppy and cheap. No thanks. I will do everything I possible can, by myself. And you're helping me to do it right. All these pro-tips are total gems.

[@jazzsingh1449]

This is the best video i have seen that is detailed to the core.

Thanks Jazz

I'm really impressed with the combination of humor and simplicity that make these videos easier for non-Experts to learn/re-learn this stuff.

[@michaeltucker8145]

Hi Jeff, I have watched your videos a number of times before (and as) I installed drywall in a 10' x 20' office space that I framed. I want to thank you for the incredible amount of information that I gleaned from your videos, I have started painting now and the results (for a novice) are amazingly good! I have one seam that could have been better but overall I am pleased with my work. Anyone reading this that is considering a DIY drywall project needs to watch Jeff's videos. Great quality, easy to understand! THANKS!

[@KirsiPrimus]

I've had the hassle of drywalling by myself before being 4'10" at 100 lbs. You just saved my butt so much hassle for the next project. My hero.

[@caleblatona174]

thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, these videos are so professional and extensive. I'm a helper for general contractors who have know a little about everything and having this theoretical info has helped me immensely feeling confident and not intimidated to try all of these new things. I had a background of 3 years kicking carpet and kinda felt like i'd be stuck doing it forever. I'm blessed to be able to learn all of these different trades now and to see the work of my hands. thanks again for giving me that extra little edge and helping me stay ahead of the game Jeff, cheers mate.

[@BaconbuttywithCheese]

Its the muscle memory you have developed from decades of building cool stuff that many diyers don't have (me). Knife angle for applying paper tape to plasterboard for examle. You keep the knife in exactly the right position while flowing through your range of motion. Calling you a craftsman is an understatement.

[@DustinWoloschuk]

Hey Jeff!!! I first came across your videos when I was looking into concrete counter tops for fun. I've since watched hours upon hours of your videos. You have definitly mastered your craft... and how to really explain it and teach it to people. You don't just make it look easy... you explain everything you do so well... it IS easy to do, even the 1st couple times. I have my own landscaping company that I have built from scratch over the last 10 years while I worked full time at a terrible company. 6 years ago... i was forced to leave that company and do my business full time... but I was not ready and could not afford too either... but I had no choice. So the 1st few years, had REALLY been a struggle, especially through the winter. Before taking it upon myself to learn about inside renovations, I knew very little, almost nothing. I have since learned SO much from you... I've not only been able to expand my skill set enough to make it affordable to be able to start doing these renos to my own home, but also been able to start doing stuff for other people and create a little business for myself during the winter to help me survive. You only strive for perfection in your work and that's what I try to achieve for myself and my clients and the fact that you're willing to share all your tips and tricks that you've learned over the years, helps me give that perfection to my clients every time and is giving me a great reputation for inside stuff to go along with the reputation I have built for my outside work. So thank you sir... you have helped me so much, I can't thank you enough!!! I hope I can one day, meet you at a trade show or something, so I can shake your hand.

[@lamo1724]

I'm absolutely loving these videos! Not only they wonderfully informative, I like playing the long tutorials whilst DIYing...somehow, they motivate me to stay energised and enjoy the process xxx

[@momnmeadow]

I just want to say this is the best channel I've come across. Your videos have been so helpful to me I'm a single mother trying to repair and fix an old home and I don't think I'd be able to do it without you. I do have some background in roofing and framing but all of your tips and tricks are what keep me out of trouble! I find myself watching videos in my spare time now, because you teach me so much. Keep them coming I'm sure your fans outweigh the haters all day long.:)

[@jonnsmusich]

Big Thanks: Just did the prime check on the bathroom and was amazed at how few spots needed attention. I followed your guidance, taking notes while following this entire series. Small bathroom. Big job. The walls were plaster on brown-coat on metal lath. Demolished these and installed drywall, taped and followed your tips. Rotozip paid for itself on this job. Best outcome I've ever had! Many thanks.

I came across your video by mistake (looking at doing a siding project for a client). My intention was to watch 30 seconds of video....it's 4:26 AM and I watched the entire video! I normally don't like watching blockbuster movies that are over two hours. Kudos to your professionalism and great tips. I am a contractor of over 20 years and will be making a lot of changes myself and will make my team watch your videos. I just built a frame wall in a garage today, put up the drywall, and applied the 1st coat of mud. This may have taken over 2 hours off of my life, but your content will save me money and time for years to come and I sincerely thank you for that. Have a great day....I look forward to seeing your other videos! Cary

[@tomhaire4758]

There is a lot of great information here, I have been able to apply your process on a rental home my daughter was selling. Looked great when we completed it.

Fantastic! Cheers Tom!

[@basilayish3689]

So my kids and wife are wondering, what am I passing on family movie night to do instead? Watch 2 hours of Jeff's wonderfully detailed lessons on hanging and finishing drywall! Way better than most movies. Thanks for keeping lay people in mind as you dig into the details and share tips. One complement to this series on drywall is to include a segment on how to expertly pre cut holes for plumbing penetrations so the drywall fits over the drains and water lines cleanly and without fail. Thanks for all your terrific videos.

[@russhenry8112]

When I watch on a home improvement show on Tv ,they have someone that has never done tapping and finish work. At the end they show a great finish. Impossible because they never added water,or mixed it with 6 oz of water,they apply it way to thick. They would need a belt sander to finish! I know time constraints for Tv is an issue. As one of my instructors told me when explaining something,explain it so a blind man can see it. You are a great teacher your common sense and humor makes for a great and easy lesson. Keep it up!

[@bobsundquist2039]

I have watched almost all of the videos. This is by far one of my favorite youtube channels. Keep making good stuff and I will keep watching.

I’m in the middle of doing my own basement renovation, starting with the pink XPS foam boards on the block walls, and then putting down a subfloor with the dimpled plastic under OSB like you showed in another video series. I started in March of this year, and I’m finally to the drywall stage. This is my third time watching this entire A to Z Drywall series and I’m still picking up great tips on how to do drywall right. (I have a lot of down time while I’m working third shift as a homecare nurse). I’m a complete novice, having only done a few California patches before in my daughters’ bedrooms. Never a whole room of taping seems. Thank you so much, Jeff! You’re a great teacher!! KZbin University is worth every penny! ;-}

About the dry wall lift: Look for one that is for sale. Those cost like 300€$ new so you should be able to get one for like 100-150€$ and there are tons of them for sale. Because people buy them for a project and then sell it once they are done because those take up too much room and they are not going to need them again anytime soon. Aaaand once you are done YOU can sell it most likely for the same sum you bought it. So not only is that FREE most likely the buyer comes collect it so you do not even have to spent the time and gas to return it. I bought one from guy that just finished putting drywall on the house he was building. Machine was like new, much better condition than that rented one. Once I am done I just sell it to next user.

Do you have a video on how to tell if your home has a structural problem? I have a ton of nail pops with cracks all over, we bought the townhouse in 2008 but it was built in the 80s I believe. Thank you for any help

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Nail pops and cracks are not evidence of a structural problem by themselves. If the doors and windows are not operating properly then I would be concerned. In 1982 CGC had a bad batch of mud that has left many homes with cracks and nail pops that are mud related and not structural. try peeling the tape off the inside corners first. If they run like a bad sweater then I would think it is just that. Good Luck

[@aqqi101]

Jamie Goodwin it will be best to remove all walls and ceilings and add new drywall, usually old houses don't even have drywall but a cardboard type material or wood planks, good luck !!!

[@Mrcaffinebean]

KING Z any house build in the 80s had drywall

[@bryceg5709]

I've been slowly fixing that issue, each one that popped I basically flake off the pop, set the nail deeply and go each side of it with a screw and then spackle it. Eventually it slows down and then you'll just fix them periodically. If there's a place that is cracking such as a V in where different ceiling angles connect there are techniques for expansion joints.

[@fvids1603]

80s were the worst built homes. I’m sure they used nails not screws. Set the nail and overlap the head of the nail with the head of the screw this will keep it locked down

[@jahadozier4140]

Your pacing is spot on. You move a training speed that does not leave me bored and daydreaming. And not too fast that overwhelms.

Once you have learned how to drywall you will need to learn how to paint kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJa4qa2VpNdlh9U and tile kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKTMgYqGd9tqapY

[@rogerbraasch5224]

How do you paint drywall and/or old plaster and not have it fall off in a couple of years.? I have it happening now in my kitchen and laundry room. I had thought of using Kilz as a primer. The kitchen and laundry room will have same colors but most of one plaster wall will have to be removed and replaced with Drywall. The plastering technique used in the house was from the 1940s. I have a piece of the wall out 12" by 12" is the close estimate. You would have to see how this plastering technique was done and maybe it had been a much stronger/complex method than the kind of plastering done today. I will sometime this weekend , study your video. Betcha, my houses plastering technique not covered in your video. Even at Home Depot, anyone under 60 years old working there gets confused with what I had shown them. Hee Hee : - )

Can I drywall over old plastered walls?

[@minhnguyen5861]

Home RenoVision DIY most people work-study you know why...

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

old walls need to be primed with a transition prime r to go from oil based to latex based paints. Cheers!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

definitely. locte the original framing and attach directly through the plaster.

Love your tutorials! You should also post your paypal where people can donate some money so you can keep adding more and more of those videos.

[@hillarythrasher3774]

I'm one of those people who watched to the end. Not only am I more informed, I'm greatly appreciative of the work I hire contractors to do. You do the profession justice. Thanks!

Hello Jeff thank you so much for your all great Videos, very useful and helpful , i personally learned a lot from you although with my 20 years doing all renovation and finishing, your are one of the best i have seen in my entire experience, however i do have really good more tricks can make tapping jobs much easy and faster and quality even better, i have never seen anyone did or doing my tricks yet, i think even if i tell you my way or my tricks you will probably won't believe me until you see and inspected it yourself , i love to watch your videos and hopping to share ideas, tricks and inventions together please keep in touch, all the best my name is Sarge

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

[@haydenhack]

All good, you taught me a lot..youre a master.

[@don5537]

Jeff, I've spent a lot of time watching your channel and I wanted to thank you for what you're doing here. I'm having to relocate due to some helth problems and thanks to your channel I've saved a massive amount of money on contractor bills!

I just wanted to thank you for all your wisdom. Your videos are done very well aside from the camera work missing things like showing the knife technique you’re explaining. You’re a very very good teacher, you’re easy to follow and thorough in explanation. You sure make it look a lot easier than it is, but your teachings helped get me comfortable quickly. I had a lot of fun doing this for my first time, and have been thinking a lot about maybe switching trades. Thanks again, you’re now my goto guy for anything house related.

[@DaCaptainK]

i started my own handyman business last year and i watch tons of videos. this is the first one where this guy speaks the "thought" process of an installer out loud. when i explain the work i do, i explain everything i think about, come across, could come across. this is the how, the why, and also the what if? tutorial. love it! much thanks to Home Reno! love how he doesn't edit the technical difficulties out that he goes through. keeping it real.

Thanks Brian.

Excellent video... I’ve never done drywall before but I’m doing a pretty big bedroom right now. Framed out the ceiling (first time framing), drywalled the ceiling and currently putting the walls up. Can’t wait to do the rest and see the finished product! You are an brilliant teacher!

[@TheJdiaz206]

Do you ever visit Seattle? If so, our team would love to take you out for a meal

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Hi Josh, we will be doing some traveling next year. Seattle sounds like a great spot to drop by. Cheers!

[@Vanessabobessa10]

Somebody shouldve taught my "contractors" this or either taught me they were con artist bulkshitters before i wasted my money. Smh good help is hard to find. Being a woman is worse

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

It shouldn't be this way (I personally think everyone should be treated fairly), but if it is possible, always have a man talk to contractors, mechanics, plumbers, and such. The burlier they look, the better. You will likely get better results. Really helps if the friend helping actually knows his stuff so he can call out scammers on the spot or send them away without you wasting money. Not all contractors, plumbers, etc are like this, but far too many are.

[@P.willow]

OK it's Sunday, the sun is shining in Dublin, Ireland and I'm watching these videos cause I love watching them I do all my own painting and decorating as I love doing it in my home but I'd really like to be good on a drill and teach my son some skills as he would accomplish a lot by being able to be as many jobs about the home and be well fit for the world outhere doing these great life skills like these I think, and he agrees I'd love it if he can drill a hole in the wall and hang up some pictures for me. I'm a female and I get great inspiration to do jobs about the home and its very relaxing watching these videos. What an excellent job sir and ur crew have fun working with u. You seem very easy going.

[@whatzupLizzy]

You got skills 👨. I have never done DYI at this level. But watching your videos gives me confidence in life. I am watching your entire back catalog.

[@alexanelson554]

I’m building out a tiny home and adjoining bathroom built on a trailer. I have no previous knowledge of renovating and I just had to thank you so much for everything you have put out. The way you describe and elaborate on everything has really given me my own skills and is creating the knowledge and confidence I need to finish these tasks on my own. Thank you so so much!!!! Aloha from Hawaii 🤍 Ps- if you did a tiny home series you would kill it! Specifically a skoolie and sprinter

[@willapaterson307]

Hey Jeff, I didn’t want to invest in one of those mud mixers so, in batches, I used a kitchen hand mixer LOL. Scooped out several big soup ladles into a stainless steel bowl, added some water, and used the hand mixer on high. Then plopped it into a bucket with a tight lid. Worked like a charm! A bit labour intensive, but not as much as you'd think.

[@doublekhobbyfarm]

This video was so great! I am 5o something year old woman learning to mud and tape. This video is the best out there! Thanks!

[@kustomambition9831]

Just wanted to say thank you. I’m building my own home and The tips and skills I learned in these will go a long way in ensuring that my finished product is a nice one.

[@precioussarpong6809]

Four years later and because of this video and many of your others my brothers and i are able to remodel our parents home and start new! Thank you!

[@Lilmiket1000]

Hahaha your reverse drill cauterizing technique saved my ass a bunch of times. I learned it from one of you're old videos years ago and have been using it ever since... I know you hear it all the time but you're making the world better man. Love your work! keep it up.

[@BrockGoesGaming]

I've got a garage remodel that I've decided to undertake, and ended up here, hoping for just a little guidance, as I'm way over my head doing it alone. This video was incredibly informative and very professional in its presentation. This is hands-down one of the best "How-to" videos I've ever seen, regardless of the topic. I can't think of a single thing that I'll need help with that this video won't provide, and in a single video, that's an amazing feat. Well done, sincerely.

[@robmaas8808]

THE best advise I have ever had in a video!! It didn't make me a pro but I am sure it made the job a whole lot easier! I am getting ready to paint here in a few days. a few more hours of sanding and it should be good to go. Thank you so much for this AWESOME video!!
