When vac'ing drywall dust i highly recommend putting a bag in the shop vac. I started doing this and it dramatically reduces filter clogging meaning the vac maintains suction for much long. I also feel like it does a better job keeping dust inside rather than possibly blowing some back out.

So just a black garbage bag lining the inside of the shop vac?

You need to leave a 5mm (minimum) gap at the edges of the floor boards or they'll buckle when the humidity/temperature changes throughout the year. Also recommend putting a cloth down before hammering to avoid accidentally marking them. Looks awesome though!

If I haven't said it before I want to say it now, Courtney is the best taper and painter I have seen on any KZbin video. And I have watched a lot of them. I have done a fair amount of taping and have commented on many videos to try to provide helpful hints at how to do it better. However I do not see anything Courtney could do to improve her job as she is spot on with every step of the process. She could be the gold standard in how to do drywall finishing.

I never sand after patching the screws and joint. I take a roller and spread thin layer everywhere and then smooth it with 60cm trowel. Much less work and better result and donn’t need sprayer. Seam between paper and spackel can never be good. Best way to see is it to use sharp point light like led flashlight right next to the wall. It’s brutal compared to soft light but prevents disappoinment when sun is shining from right direction.

Just a little tip for the next time you go out to view the northern lights or a meteor shower. You need to find your viewing spot about a half hour before you want to view and just sit in the darkness without any artificial lights or screens. This will allow your eyes to dark adapt.

It’s looks beautiful. Just a humble suggestion: next time use L shape plastic trim on drywall to get it mud and square corners it will be easier then applying molding. Even around the T&G ceiling. You can also use trufig outlets, mud in lights , linear diffusers and a Shadow mold trim at ceilings, doors , windows and base 😅. Count me in!!! I’m a new subscriber 🎉

Next time, if there is one... and you need to go to town to get trim, either buy a board that you'll need in the future, or, take a piece of pipe, or a board of course, and tape the trim to the board or pipe, to keep it rigid enough to not break. Or, Riley in all your skills at fabricating, build you an adjustable "T" mount that will slide into the receiver hitch, that will adjust up and down, and away from the truck, to haul such items. I have not seen one that would do all this, but have seen a variety of them. Also, something I really liked, it a guy built one and mounted a st of LED brake.tail lights on it, below(so as to not get in the way of what you are carrying, so it worked not only in place of a red flag thing, but also worked REALLY well at night. Trim, add wood(or what you are using), till it looks good! Said an old carpenter friend of mine!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Very interesting and entertaining build. Waiting to see if you use curtains on the windows or splurge and get LCD switchable film for the windows. Wishing you and your family the best. If your doing much drywall sanding you may also consider buy a water filled dust trap for your vacuum line. They sell kits but you could easily put one together with a few scraps you come across. It’s basically a bucket with a matching lid and a section on hose and fittings that allow you to put it in between the vacuum and the hose. The inlet fitting accepts the vacuum line on the outside and extends down into the bucket below about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way into the bucket. A good option would be a extension hose cut in half and glued into two holes in the lid. Filling the bucket with water above the extension into the bucket causes the air to be bubbled thru the water collecting all the drywall dust. The only think that ends up in the shop vacuum is at most a few drops of water. The mud in the collection bucket is very much like the stuff before you put it on the wall. Pondered trying to reuse it but since I had plenty of mud I didn’t risk it. 😂

A couple of quick tricks from a 18 year General Contractor; use your hand saw for long cuts like that, that you used your plunge cut multitool for. Less noise and is faster. Two, on that long 5" strip you could have not cut off the 1/2" edge and cut a 4 1/2 piece and put it above the other piece as it was going to get corner treatment anyway so it didn't matter which piece overlapped which.

Someone else may have already made this comment, but since I haven't read through any of the previous 384 comments, here goes. A trick to filling screw holes easier, faster, & with much less sanding is to put a dab of mud on a corner of a 6" trowel & swiping across 4' sections of screws @ one time rather than filling each one separately. It takes about 1/4 the time & you don't have a splotch of mud around each screw dimple to sand off. Simply swipe down the middle of a row of screws, then swipe any extra mud from both edges. I can normally get the 3-4 layers of mud it takes to completely fill the screw dimples without ever having to sand between layers. Oh, one more thing. ALWAYS use vacuum bags in your shop vacs, whether it's in your drywall sanding vac or your standard shop vac. As long as you're using them on dry products, you'll never have to replace a filter again or need to clean out the tub & you'll have very little dust while using it or when dumping the vac into the trash.

Perhaps other comments have mentioned this, but would respectfully suggest you hang drywall horizontal. It has a "grain" like wood. If you lay it across studs, it will not warp. However, if the grain of the drywall is parallel with the studs, it will be inclined to develop a washboard appearance. Also, when the ends of the drywall are butted together, that is considered a "butt" joint. When the tapered edges are butted against each other, they are considered "Flats" or flat joints. Enjoy your productions. Rich Blessings.

To accommodate hand rails you may need in the future you might consider one of 2 options 1. replace the 2x4 stud wall in the bathroom with 4x4s or cover the walls in 1in plywood. The screws need some meat to grab to hold safely. Also a Fresh air exchanger and a dehumidifier to control both indoor pollution and excess moisture. your metal box does not have does not allow for whole house fresh air exchanges. You might want to go to Schwitzer for an unobstructed view of the northern shy.
