Sorry Leah can you put your joint compound on your ceiling with a 1" nap roller and still get the crows foot roller to work?

[@jalisaalanaye1662]

When you said “YOU CAN DO THIS !” My heart felt so full, I have no idea why you give me such good vibes but you really do. I’m not painting a wall or doing any home improvement at all, I’m a 26 yr old female who isn’t even allowed to paint where I live (apartment/landlord rules) so I stumbled across this video out of curiosity and I’m really glad someone like you is on KZbin helping so many people. Bless you, you’re too sweet

[@sulfork]

Leah, I've been watching your videos for 6 years now. And today is the day I have tell you, your fabulous! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Never ever stop being YOU!

[@watsonspuzzle]

Leah, you are my favorite home improvement teacher on youtube. You explain things so that anyone can understand it, and you're so encouraging, too.

[@megj3598]

You know, leah has the most encouraging and sweetest personality. I'm redoing my kitchen and came across her videos due to my torn sheet rock. These videos are short, to the point, but detailed enough to give you understanding. I was scared to take on such a huge project myself, but leah said I could so I know I can.

[@Ravenswyck18]

Oh my goodness! Leah you are awesome!!! This is as easy as you said. I practiced on a board with premixed joint compound. I put the compound in a paint tray and got the roller saturated. I rolled it on evenly and just eyeballed it for even coverage; it's very forgiving. I took the damp crows foot and rolled it just like you did. I have a 75 year old house and the walls are....well 75 years old. I just saved a fortune by not putting in new drywall. I applied mIne going down a basement stairway and the peaks are kind of sharp and pointy. I just very, very lightly laid a large drywall scraper on it and let the weight of the scraper do the work. I went down it in vertical strips from top to bottom. It snaps off just the pointy parts off but keeps the ridge detail. I just saved a fortune and it is gorgeous! SO happy.

[@meedily]

I love the way she says, "You can do THIS." She's genuine. :) Thanks Leah!

[@seejanedrill]

you're very welcome!

[@richardbolen1929]

Very nice Thanks for the help

[@uh-oh8704]

I just used this technique to finish up a drywall project. I am very happy with the results. I usually rent a texture machine. With this technique I have more control and more design options over the end result. Great video. Very well done.

[@CrankyPantss]

I wish I could give this more than just one "like". You are making so many things reachable that were once unreachable. Thank you for everything, Leah.

You're a really good presenter, Leah! I happen to know first hand, that how-to videos take a special talent. Well done!

[@joshwexler658]

You're my favorite person ever!!!!!! I to have a ceiling repaired and the contractor said they couldn't do the texture because it was too old of a pattern to mimic. It's the crows feet pattern! Now i can fix all the patches they put on my ceiling! thank you!

[@seejanedrill]

you're very welcome, Josh! 🙂

[@kellydobberstine5011]

!!!!SUBSCRIBED!!!! After the hurricane on the Texas Gulf Coast this past August, I am redoing my main bathroom (and most of my walls). I had to remove 4 feet of drywall all the way around, replace, then match the texture. You are amazing and so helpful! So glad I came across your channel in my diy search. I have found I haven't needed to search other channels because you have had all the tutorials I've needed. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP! Will definitely be a regular on your channel.

[@ieshamiller1864]

Thank you! I recently removed some unsightly wood panel from my living and dining rooms and have been in search of an inexpensive way to repair my walls. You just gave me great inspiration!

[@seejanedrill]

glad it was helpful!

[@georgeb.2587]

Thank you for demonstrating this technique. We just purchased a new home with the crows foot pattern on the ceilings. There’s water damage that needs to be repaired, and the crows foot pattern redone on the repaired portion. Up until your demonstration video, I had no idea how to apply the same texture and pattern on the repaired sections.... Now I do thanks to you & your video...👍😊

[@larrygood6764]

Excellent instruction, detailed enough, without the long winded intro that most people post and I usually skip past. Thanks for posting this!

[@seejanedrill]

you're welcome, Larry, and thanks!

[@belindavanowen1990]

I'm always drawn to your videos even when I'm looking up someone else's demonstration. You're such a good teacher and I just love your personality. You seem to be the patient loving aunt or grandma everyone would love to have 😀 I wish I lived next door to you!

[@seejanedrill]

Thank you , Belinda, I really appreciate it!

[@jamezason]

I’ll be attempting to match an existing ceiling texture. I realized pretty quick it was rolled with some consistent pattern. Never knew these existed (neither did HD or Lowe’s). Your video helped me figure out it was the basket weave! I sanded down about two roller widths of old texture (had a small repair). Will do some tests to find right consistency for the mud, but should be able to get pretty close 😮😊

[@metasketch4317]

You are awesome! I run a painting company and I make a point to watch one educational video a day, expand knowledge of technique and products - and your channel is a great place to find them.

[@SacredMountainIncDeerTrail]

This is so helpful!! My husband and I have a stairway that is newly drywalled. We are trying to figure out how to use a hopper to create texture before we paint. Your technique looks far easier. The rest of the house has ugly walls because it is actually a trailer house we turned into a permanent home. We took the slats off the seams between the dry wall panels of the home and tried our best to make a smooth surface. The thin dry wall panels did not match up and there is significant change of the angels of the panels plus gaps between them. I think we could go back over the walls with this technique and cover up a lot of UGLY. Thanks!

[@adrienneaguirredeshaies7634]

I *LOVE* having another woman teach me these things! So few female role models/teachers in this field, what an inspiration :) thank you!

[@44amanaplanacanalpanama44]

Thank you for the information. I ended up buying the vine pattern for my remodel. I have textured 2 closets that I built so far, and your videos have helped. I'm glad to see we are getting similar results. I hear people saying that texture is out of date, but I really like it and plan to do my whole house, as I'm doing paint and flooring at this time.

[@jp360ford2]

Thank you, my friend, for taking the time to make this video! I'm a journeyman plumber by trade so anything out of that realm I'm hesitant about but with great videos like yours I can mud and texture. I used to frame years ago so I'm very familiar with that. With other areas like electrical I can look up pictures, diagrams etc. But mudding is my Achilles heel!! I'm so picky and a perfectionist I probably go through more mud and tape than I should (from redo to trying to get the smoothness I want.) Thanks again! Good luck to all!

[@carolcummings87]

I enjoy watching this lady, she definitely knows her stuff. This video helped me so much. Thank you!

My time has come to use texturing in my home. Leah, your vids rock. To the point and easy to understand, both the content and your presentation. I don't need fancy background music to learn a process. Thank you for the videos.

[@seejanedrill]

you're welcome, Douglas, and good luck with your texturing!

[@Soulcommander]

when I bought my house in 85 the basement had unsightly drywall where you could see all types of imperfections even the wood slats that they nailed the drywall to. at that time I bought some kind of mud compound that was already pre-mixed it took lots and lots of pails and I had some kind of a plastic roller that had Loops in it to make a pattern that covered up all the imperfections my basement still looks nice after doing it no cracking or anything after all these years. as always Leah you have fantastic tips

[@seejanedrill]

Thanks Soulcommander

[@semco72057]

I love those different textured rollers which could be used to apply the texture on walls, and ceilings. You always show great videos on doing different jobs, and this one is great also, and one which I will probably be using in one house we have to get taken care of since part of the ceiling fell. I thank you so much for your help as always, and hope you all are having a nice weekend.

[@seejanedrill]

thank you Sidney! I hope you are having a nice spring...it has been very rainy here in the Pacific Northwest...how has the weather been in your neck of the woods?

[@80spink]

This will help me tackle a project of 10 years in the making. I have damage walls in my bathroom from wallpaper that the previous owners tried to cover up (the walls had dents and it’s so uneven. I’m guessing that’s why they put wallpaper in the first place). Since I was a previous broke college student, I was not trying to pay a professional so i left it as is until now. It’s time to tackle it while I have time on my hands due to Covid! Many thanks! 💕

[@marciajames6533]

I tried it with regular paint , paint must be thick if you roll it as Leah has instructed. It's amazing. Thanks, much, Leah

[@tracybrooks5971]

I'm sooooo glad I just watched this!!! I was so frustrated today trying to do the vine patter on my wall, I'm a bit OCD so I was obsessing over getting the patter to look perfect and perfectly even all over. Plus I didn't know about getting the roller damp! I'll try again tomorrow. Thank you!!!

Good video. I did something like that years ago when I took down a popcorn ceiling. I couldn't get a nice smooth finish on the ceiling so just went over it with a long-nap roller and it looked good (something like your initial roll-on with the 1/2" nap roller).

[@skrodgers68ify]

One of the things I always hated about texturing was the spray you have to mask everything off. I've been in construction for quite a few years but texturing was never really things that I got into it was mostly the building in the woodwork. This really made my texture job go well I use the basket weave roller but to add another degree of detail I used a 3/16 v-notched trowel and traube the mud once I got it on the wall then let it sit for a few moments and then roll it with the deal and it added a whole new level of detail it's really nice thank you for your videos!

[@juliettedumouchel6021]

As a runner who is training for a marathon, these foam rollers kzbin.infoUgkx9XSsjzA4f84VmhBCHlyhec7XILIxennL are really good for sore and tight muscles. This one is a good size (mine is the purple, 36 inches) not too big but big enough to work and roll both my legs at the same time - I took a photo holding the roller next to me just to provide a better representation of its size. I noticed some reviewers who complained that this is, “just a foam noodle”… and yes, that’s exactly what it is. It’s a high density foam roller. It is absolutely NOT the same consistency/strength/durability/ or texture as a ‘pool noodle’ thought and I disagree entirely with those that say so. As a former collegiate athlete and marathon runner, I’m comfortably giving this roller 5 stars. It’s lightweight and durable and does just what I need it to do at a budget-friendly price. Overall, I have no complaints and am happy with it!

Hi Leah. I had to replace a 4x4 area of drywall in my kitchen. I just want to do this right. So I was going to use Kiltz primer over everything. Then go over with the whole area with the joint compound and texture roller. Correct? My ceiling has a texture and semi gloss paint on it. If this looks ok I have a living/dining area to do. Thanks for all your help. Owning a home you have saved me in all my projects and tools! - Thanks your neighbor from Tacoma.

[@saregama192021]

MY TWO CENTS: just finished used the leaf roller to texture and paint over in a 12x10 room. - this is a messy job, remove and make yourselves comfortable to keep things handy (some water, lots of rags, place to keep the mixing drill, Jt compound, stool etc.) - Use a good primer and fix and holes in the walls - try a good baking consistency of the joint compound, I used a bucket from HD, used the drill to mix, 1/4 cup water each time to confirm thickness - used a 1/2 inch nap roller to dab the Jt. Compound over a 4 feet wide and 10 feet vertical joint compound layer and then had my wife roll the leaf roller. Go slow (patience is a virtue you would need :) - if you lay the Jt compound thick, its leaves a good imprint, otherwise the leaf prints are barely visible (tip: try out a sample of 4x4 feet to roll to get practice and desired results) - another issue we noticed was, you do see a line between the vertical rolling of the leaves on the wall, not visible in white but if you paint over then you notice - I used Behr Marquee with the Behr 2020 color of the year to paint over after 2 days of letting the Jt Compound dry - these walls suck the paint and you need to apply a thicker paint coat to fill the texture of the leaves - had to use more than a gallon of paint - you can't reuse the roller after using it over the walls, we just discarded along with the leftover Jt compound bucket Overall satisfaction - 7 out of 10, could we have done better, not sure.
