[@brickdaddiy]

If it ain't broken, break it - so you can then fix it. Got it!

[@MrBuildit]

I am my own captain of my destiny

[@jdn42y11]

Once Upon A Workbench Yippee, isn’t this wonderful? You sound jealous of what others do.

[@daniel923e]

haha

[@jonjohnson102]

If its not broke, your not trying

[@ollydenga8466]

Brilliant comment lol 😂😂😂

[@justinroberti1041]

I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan kzbin.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!

[@MovieMuscle]

“Are you breaking things again, so you can show people how to fix things?” “No dear”

[@bwalto21]

Haha

[@TheShop90sKids]

😂😂😂

[@danieljewett3946]

🤣🤣

[@brandon7642]

Thinking of all the kids watching this before their parents get home

[@emssmiley2002]

hahahahaha, would of definitely helped, back in the 80's

[@idonthackwym3814]

Brandon that’s me

[@Garrysullivanjones]

A new picture with nice frame over new renovations might help

[@BigAlWillis]

I once spilled something on the couch when I was little. knowing mom would be home soon I grabbed the blow dryer & held it on the spot directly. It went right thru it like drilling a hole lol

[@dcwoodworks]

LOL i could of used it 15 years ago

[@MissySimpleM]

Me living my life in a brick wall house: must watch how to repair drywall!

[@MrBuildit]

haha. It's funny how we get sucked into youtube rabbit holes

[@besimveseli9389]

Lol same but its good to know !

[@KinGIIRomE]

Are all your interior walls 🧱?

[@MissySimpleM]

@@KinGIIRomE yup, exterior and interior are brick. But we did lower the ceiling in part of the house so maybe I could use this to repain the ceiling? 😂 Hopefully it doesn't get damaged, though, because working on anything on the ceiling is a pain

[@MissySimpleM]

@@dr.balajikumaran7497 Nah I live in a pretty cold part of Europe. I don't think they use dry wall on top of bricks in the US. Most of their houses are wood frames with drywall to cover them on the inside walls and insulation and something to protect the house from the weather on the outer walls

[@donniep.1513]

I’ve watched several videos on drywall repair and yours was by far the simplest to follow. Thank you!

[@Lenser]

I love how simple your process is. Most other videos over complicate things and use tools/materials most home owners would only use once.

[@Ace_Hunter_lives]

Really good video. I was looking to repair some holes left by the elctrician and of all the drywall repair videos I've watched (and they can be a bit of a rabbit hole) this was probably the best produced and the most concise and to-the-point.

[@KomarProject]

Great job on the video brother!! Very detailed !!!

[@ryanmaddry768]

Nice video! If you cut your 9x10 piece before "cleaning" the hole , you can trace it over the hole and then cut it out to get an exact fit.

[@schylerstone2320]

Thats a good point lmao

[@paulwilliams8555]

My point on my comment exactly cut the piece then trace it around the whole cut with a utility knife don't worry about wires

[@Atikux-pl2zg]

There's another video where they do it that way. I think is better and easier.

[@NoobTube4gamers]

Gawd damn u people are smart as f*

[@sweenej5]

Thank you so much for this! I'm a first time homeowner and we had a leak and need to repair some drywall. This is very very helpful.

[@holdmybeard3160]

Watching you break your own wall and fix it up while explaining the entire process was really satisfying. Thanks!

[@vincentbuonora8477]

Really instructive...love the detail of sanding to make it perfect. Good measurement and cutting techniques.

[@Steven-hg4cz]

if you guys ever use any type of knife with a straight edge guide to cut along. Understand that that blade will easily jump up onto that straight edge and head straight for the hand that is holding the straight edge down. Make sure the hand that is applying pressure to the straight edge is above the direction the blade is heading so you do not have a chance of slicing your fingers open. This type of accident happens within a second and with the amount of force you are putting into the blade, you will hurt yourself badly.

[@ReviewTechAFRICA]

Shut up, nerd

[@Sambo16]

Adding the water to the final coat was super helpful in the blending process. Thank you for the great and very helpful video!

[@noname652000]

Thank you, This video is awesome! You’re extremely informative and detailed but not obnoxious. It’s very refreshing!

[@Ragnak_]

Thank you for the video, it was very helpful. I had to fix a massive hole that a contractor was supposed to cover about 2 years ago and nothing was done about it. Finally decided to fix it for my dad myself and I have no previous experience whatsoever

[@jedisentinel1499]

This is KZbin at its best. Thank for the instructional video man!! Made my renovations one step easier.

[@maverickop7543]

I just discovered your videos and I love them! Keep up the great DIY projects and tutorials!

[@ravisriram6746]

Good video: the technique was straightforward and demonstrated clearly. Thank you.

[@2jjunior]

This was extremely helpful, and I really dig the presentation style... rock on.. Can't go wait to fix some holes that I've been looking at for years.....

[@sarahpeterson9422]

I love how many videos you have that cover so much! I have been on a quest for knowledge lately and added so many of these to my list of things to watch. I love to build and make things! Thanks you for sharing!

[@dcwoodworks]

check mine out! I am no where near his subs or level but I'm trying haha. self marketing at its finest :p

[@TimApple.]

Now THIS video was super helpful. I was watching videos that were 20 & 30 minutes long that made me wanna punch a hole in a wall. This covered everything nice and simple in under 10 minutes.

[@callynt]

This was so helpful. I was able to patch two holes that I foolishly cut without fully checking for studs. Thank you!

[@FlitzSpitz]

Please more videos like this!! We love your insane builds. But most of us are extremely new and need help with the easy stuff

[@Braddy_Daddy]

Honestly best wall patching tutorial. Short and too the point.

[@MrBuildit]

Thanks so much. Very kind of you

[@jaym9200]

@PDW 177 I've seen a slum lord do that.

[@Garrysullivanjones]

PDW 177 slum lord is landlord . The rent collector 🤔

[@meganepelletier853]

@PDW 177 Slum lord is a depreciatory term used to define a landlord who is trying to maximize profit by minimizing renovation costs, often resulting in poor property maintenance - the property in turn becomes a slum. The average individual who rents out a property is generally referred to as a land lord here as well.

[@eve__________]

Mégane Pelletier all landlords are slum lords, as mao did best by killing them all.

[@nateb7718]

This is easily the best video on this subject on yt. I looked at a bunch and this one helped the most by far!

[@CoopyKat]

Even though I don't need this repair now, it's good to know for the future. I just love watching this stuff, I can watch it all day. This and "This Old House" are relaxing for some reason. Maybe in my last life I was a house.

[@RyanJones4444]

you explained every part and showed us. i appreciate it! thank you

[@foxyloxy6670]

An EXCELLENT video. You made it so simple. Thank you!!

How to repair drywall: Stop naming your son Kyle.

[@mrboyban]

Your surname reminds me of a skit over a shoe brand

[@Beltz101]

Kyle is such a cool name tho comon man

[@danabeatriceestabillo4658]

The fact that this comment is above a comment from a person named Kyle sends XD

[@jmanuel423]

1:21 You should probably have a caution reminder when using a drywall saw near a electrical outlet you dont want to accidentally cut into a live wire! better safe than sorry ☺️

[@paulwilliams8555]

A utility knife would have been so much easier

[@ketmunojenfrin583]

I cut live wires (in my own house) with tin snips all the time, best way to find which breaker the wire is tied to. I don't recommend this to people not comfortable with electricity.

[@Ban00]

better be grounded

[@ketmunojenfrin583]

@@Ban00 Actually I don't want to be, I want the short to go back the electric box BUT my snips have really thick plastic handles and I stand on a wood stool.

[@GardenGuy1943]

I’ve seen someone die from cutting into a live wire with a knife.

[@terricakleinknecht9383]

Thank you this video helped me a lot a demystified drywall patching!

[@scottgreen7973]

Perfect. Exactly what I needed. Thanks so much

[@josephramirez1238]

Thank you very much for this will try it this weekend. Need to fix a wall at my home, previous owner had a junction box buried so I need to learn those drywall skills

[@jennypg88]

This is awesome! thank you so much for your videos, I've learned so much from you! Keep them coming please! 😁

[@martinchandler9205]

great video, very easy to follow and a technique I will use very soon for a damaged wall I need to repair.

[@thudawin9748]

That trick to anchor the new piece is so easy and makes so much sense but I would not have thought of it myself... thank you!!!

[@royde-bo-hun3113]

Oooohhh this is awesome, quick, fast, and most importantly EASY!! You are amazing!! Thanks brotha.. exactly what I needed to learn..

[@LAFONESS]

Love it! Easy straight to the point!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Beltz101]

A great trick is to throw a mirror over it and call it a day! My house looks like one of those damn mirror mazes at the carnival. Peep my name 😂

[@schylerstone2320]

Lmao

[@Ace_Hunter_lives]

The electrcian who installed our new outlet did a terrible job, at lesast cosmetically. After giving it some thought, I just bought a large faceplate for the outlet :D Problem solved!

Lol 😂😂

Genius!!!

[@wvnovello]

Seriously. I’m replacing my vanity and took the mirror out today and there’s a huge hole we here the light fixture is.

You sir. Have earned my sub. Love the vids. One question though. A big component of remodels is budget. Are you able to break down estimated cost and give us an idea of hours you have in a project? Would be super cool for us DIYers.
