I want your story to be mine. Looking at renovating a place that was built all builder-grade in 2007. The cost of a contractor for 3 baths and a kitchen is giving me heartburn.

[@edwin5419]

@@seapeajones good luck! I bought a 1950s place. Had to rip out the bathroom because it had rotted. Some of the joists needed replacing, lots of stuff needed drywall patching through the house, took out the second fireplace & chimney, rendering over that spot. Even had to replace some of the drywall. Just think about what you need done, see if Jeff's covered it (sounds like he might've), watch the videos a few times and maybe you'll feel ready to tackle at least some of it.

[@Jamestorn48]

I remodeled my entire master bath (5x7 so not a huge room) and anytime I would mix power mud I would use my hawk like you though instead of sprinkling it like a cake I'd knock the ridges into the water and then run my knife up the sides similar to a snow truck up a hill. It would fall in and I'd have a pretty good consistency one it was all done. Took me a bit to develop that technique but it works for me. Thanks to your videos you gave me most all the knowledge to demo and rebuild that room for around 2k and adding 6k to my home's value.

The little bucket keeps the untrained cleaner. Thanks for all the other advices! Cheers

[@rolfbjorn9937]

Concerning the drywall mud mixing, I find it easier to mix larger batches that are too much for hawk and too little for buckets. Buckets suck because round. But, there's always a butt, once roughly hydrated, I split it and mix to final on the "hawk" or mini hawk (or large trowel, point of view)

[@holgate1970]

Extremely valuable lesson for this situation. many thanks

2:30 @home renovision diy Mr. Jeff, you ever add glue to your quickset mud when doing repairs/patches like this for “extra adhesion”; & what are your thoughts if adding glue to quickset mud? Me, I add it & can tell difference; especially on some brands if quickest mud, when glue IS NOT ADDED…..so, I’m in the camp of, “ok to add”, as how was taught. Cheers ✌🏻

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

I used to use glue if I am not confident in the surface I am working on. Now I simply prep with a flat oil. Cheers!

[@hustleandfun]

Jeff, I have seen a number of your videos, and I have really enjoyed them. I have also added a number of videos on my channel: Hustle and Fun. Keep up the excellent work and keep those videos coming!

[@NathanMichalik]

I still think the best drywall trick I've learned on this channel is how to work with 45 compound. It's saved me so much time when doing repairs, patches, filling holes, etc. I never had great results with the pink stuff or ready mix.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Great to hear! Cheers Nathan!

[@artificiallyunintelligent4537]

The pink stuff is spackle, that’s really only good on small holes and stuff where you don’t want it to shrink. Think, patching nail holes on newly installed trim, or patching a hole from a drywall anchor or nail that was hanging a picture. I used to try to repair drywall with it too and it’s a nightmare! Joint compound is the way to go with any patch larger than your little finger, I’d say.

[@NathanMichalik]

@@artificiallyunintelligent4537 Even for small holes, I've gotten better results with 45. Plus, it was like $10 a bag that can sit on a shelf for years.

[@rolfbjorn9937]

@@artificiallyunintelligent4537 Have to disagree, setting compound is more workable and will not shrink(significantly) either, it sands better too. Hell, I'd rather fill nail holes and small dents with freaking Durabond 90, since the work will be done once for all and it sands fine. Spackles and pre mix joint/all purpose sucks!

[@sb5580]

For small patches on subtle texture like orange peel you need a good way to fake that texture to avoid buying the 25$US spray can . Somebody had a video that showed how to put some some "watered down" joint compound on a brush. You want a brush with about 2" bristles that are thick and strong. By rubbing a finger over the loaded brush you can learn to flick out lots of small drops to make a texture, which you can further modify as you wish, sanding or knock down. I couldn't get consistent sized drops but it was good enough. I ended up making a really cool texture that was somewhere between a knockdown and a orange peel. But one only see the difference if close to it and looking for it. By brush I don't mean a paint brush more like scrub brush.

[@בוניםפרוידנברגר]

Thank you so much man there is no Chanel like yours anywhere Learned a lot from you

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

I appreciate that! Happy to share what I have learned.

[@edmayer9127]

Great tutorial on quick patch. I also like the 45 product, it took me years to switch from pre-mix one question though, are there wires in the box you beat into submission? I’m guessing this is a dead circuit therefore, not an issue, however, as a standalone, the context is missing.

[@flaya564]

Do you have a video on repairing cracked and released corners?

[@themalacast]

I do not have the delicate touch I find using a tooth brush stick end (that I use to make sure my tools a as clean as I can get it specially when I have some dried bits) to mix in a pan works best with me to get it all mixed fast and well

Been watching your drywall tips on loop 😁

[@EJfromNYC]

Question.... So Useful video, stagger joints, thanks by the way... But i still messed up... I missed my cut by 1/8 or so around shower drop ear, so when i drilled drywall it cracked a little in a circle, i cut and pushed it up, but seems like the only thing holding the crumbled drywall is the paper... It feels a tiny bit weak around that hole... Do i scrap it and redo it or what would you do? Damn mold resistant drywall is 20 bucks each, hurts to just throw away unless I have to... What would you do? 😭😭😭

[@johnsmith1882-x2i]

Hey Jeff, to start I got to say I love watching you and I'm learning so much from you... I'm doing a full remodel on a manufactured home that I purchased... I have a question for you. I have to replace some bearing studs that have Romex wire running through them, how do I replace the studs? Do I have to cut the wires out, re drill new holes and redo the wire, or is there a way around that without ruining the structure of the studs?

[@karlagrey4822]

“Silky smooth” was in Little Nicky”? I’m pretty sure. It was John Turtuto who said it right?

[@saidtheblueknight]

I've always been told to pre-fill my joints before tape. Is that not needed because of the mesh tape, or because you were in a hurry?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

just not needed if you are using a mud with a hardener. it does not shrink and crack.

[@michaelmannucci8585]

you can mix a fast set mud in a pan just as fast or faster than you did, also that amount of mud can have been easily patched with 5 minute mud.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

love the mixing drill idea. Gonna try that....but in a small pail. Cheers!

[@ksizzle5280]

Great video. I'm curious why you're using the mesh tape on this repair rather than the drywall paper this time. Is it the size, preference, or other?

[@johnbatt9796]

holy crp, that first tip was extremely helpfull!

[@y.a.salimu5601]

He keeps referencing the Zohan’s silky smooth, lol. Ty for the video just need a bit more before I diy drywall my home. I’m trying to figure out exactly how to make it blend and not be noticeable that I chose drywall over a gunsafe.

[@TortureBot]

Watched lots of your excellent videos. Can you help? Rented a drywall lift just long enough to place a tricky drywall sheet in my mom's ceiling. I had prepared the rain-damaged area the day before & was able to completely remove a previous 4x8 sheet, revealing the surrounding sheet's edges. The sheet to be replaced ran about 5"x12" under a cabinet's top edge. It was very hard to get the sheet in place due to the cabinet & a nearby light fixture. I got the sheet close and installed enough temporary screws to hold the sheet ALMOST flush to the joists while I ran to the next town to return the lift because the rental time was expiring. When I returned to install the final screws and completely seat the sheet, the opening was about 1/8" too tight. I'm working alone and don't think I can remove the sheet & install it after sanding or rasping the edge down without a lift. Is there any way to accomplish this without completely removing the sheet? I assumed the opening was perfect for a 4' width. Bad move, I know.

[@Zinkevm1]

Great video! It’s especially great if you do it for a living or have a lot of holes. What about using spackle? I wouldn’t have a need for a whole bag, but a small can of spackle is pretty cheap. Are you opposed to it? And if so, why? I forget to mention this, so I’m editing my comment…. Before I knew what you were doing, I was waiting to see when and how you were going to cut that weird shape into your drywall. Then 🤯, you blew my mind when you cut the wall instead! What a brilliant way to do it and SO much easier. Goes right into the “work smarter, not harder” category. Thanks again and keep the videos coming!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

spackle does not bond with the tape as well. use a small bag of quickset available in the paint department. Cheers!

[@rolfbjorn9937]

The trick is to buy a 5$ bucket and sealing lid, label it with the compound(or compounds if you buy different bags) and store them. You'll have infinite supply of 20 45 or 90 compound, you should probably add some Plaster of Paris in there for the really tough jobs, BIN Shellac primer will then prime them anyway for paint.

Why not use compound instead

[@BenRush]

I love your drywalling videos, but...I tried finding a few videos of yours on texture matching, in particular eggshell or "orange peel" texture. I found stuff on popcorn ceilings, but nothing on matching orange peel textures. It'd be great if you could either tell me I'm nuts and that you've made one already, or perhaps upload one sometime. The response I typically get from guys is that matching drywall texture is like matching paint: you often have to just redo the whole wall. But there's something subtle about the orange peel texture I'm missing and it never looks the right. It's a more subtle texture for some reason. I've tried the texture sprayer guns, but the closest I got once was trying different mud consistencies and just rolling it on. But it comes out uneven and inconsistent: it's never the smooth, soft, subtle bumpiness throughout. Anyway, the short and sweet of it is: I'd love to see someone with your skills make a video on it. If you look around you'll see some, but they don't have your chops in general, and certainly don't have your video quality / production level.
