It's amazing that we live in a time where people like you can share their wealth of knowledge with such a large audience. Your content is top tier and amazingly crafted. God bless

[@DEARRAEDDEAR]

You absolutely right about him!

[@caseyforeman4992]

What's more amazing is how few people seek out this kind of knowledge and wisdom. I am 31 been doing the trades since 2013, ten years now. It amazing how few true craftsmen are left.

[@liztaylor85139]

I'm a complete novice and remodeling my bathroom. Just started hanging the drywall on the ceiling by myself. Urghh hard as heck and had to cut my sheets in half just to handle it. But I messed up with gaps and with factor ends meeting cut ends. It is so hard! I cried half the day yesterday. But your videos give me hope that I can do this! And finish this project! I adore you! Thank you for all you do.

[@mj-ls7qr8xp3n]

Hanging a ceiling is a pain for the guys too. I know that feeling, but next time you handle drywall, you'll know more. ;) And the kilted guy rocks. -)

[@steverodriguez4871]

I've done my bathroom wall, 5 TIMES. I've invented swear words. Lol

[@emmanuelleallen]

Prefilling is my favorite. Makes me look professional without actually having done anything

[@JimmyLarsen1]

I love the kiltmaster, Everyone makes oopsies, and small mistakes regardless of how long you’ve done something and the fact that you leave those clips in the video shows just how relatable and genuine you are. I Learn a lot from your videos thank you and god bless.

[@raystanczak4277]

I feel a whole lot more more confident after watching how this is done. First, I learned how to prep the mud-clean water, cover your dry bucket, and which tools I need. This is not hard IF you do it right. Now it’s time for my own blooper reel, because just when you think it’s not that hard....

[@kerirobicheaux6629]

“They” say, if someone makes it look easy it’s because they’re a master.

[@kenl2861]

Great video! I’ve done a lot of joints as a homeowner, first I’ve ever heard about pre-filling. I would fill, and tape straight away. Thanks for sharing!

[@debunknation9861]

I’ve been doing drywall for years on many of my projects…. I’m still learning something new from each of your videos. Thank you!

Great job! I just finished my garage ceiling. What a pain but overcoming pain is a great life lesson and very rewarding. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

As a fellow Scottsman and renovator/HVACR guy, kudos brother! Your advice here is incredibly valuable!

I have a home where walls were beat up by previous owners and my twin teenage boys. I have been able to fix it myself with these videos! Thank you so much for teaching us!!

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Thanks, glad I could help you out 😎. And thanks for subscribing!

[@flagmichael]

My daughter has done a walkthrough on the house she is buying... same concerns. For nearly all my life I have avoided drywall work as being too exotic; this channel made me see it is within my abilities.

[@manoftherock49]

Great video and informative. I’ve drywalled over 40 years and always appreciated a good taper or plasterer behind us. There was one spot where a screw was close to the broken edge . I would add another about 2 inches back just to be safe . But great videos . I enjoy watching quality workmanship!

[@TobyMichaelPortableTechReview]

I bought a double wide manufactured home last year and I’ve been watching your videos trying to educate myself. I’m finally ready to get started on a room and you are my GO TO resource! Starting in a small bedroom to “test” my skills before tackling bigger areas. This one is exactly what I needed this weekend!

[@ralphemerson497]

Exceptional advice. Using the real life examples is much more helpful than using a flat front of a drywall board. Definitely my new go to site for drywall advice. I’m still far from perfect but getting better. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for making this video, I have an old house that needs a lot of work. I will be watching a bunch of your tips.

I have an uneven joint to tape and you addressed that perfectly near the end of the video. I'm learning a lot from you. Thanks!

[@markpovlock1645]

I found your show a while back and you seem like a guy a might have worked with in the past. That’s why I like your show. No BS! Just some great time tested ideas that you’ve willing to share. I appreciate it. I’m a carpenter but have never been the best finisher with mud. At least not very efficient. Looks good when I’m done but takes sooooo long. I’m definitely going to look back at past episodes to check out more tips. Thanks again!

[@siulseyer8053]

You just answered several questions I had in my mind. Thanks for your lucid understanding of the subject but even better you explained well. Thanks. Howdy from the great Republic of Texas

[@Mstyredd]

Thank you for all the help. You hit every question I had about what I need to do in order to fix the problems with my armature drywall hanging job! I am going to share this with my husband, and I know he will get a kick out of the kilt, lol. And I loved the picture you shared in the beginning of the video. That was sweet.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Guy

[@andrometer2382]

The fact that you do drywall with no shoes on is very impressive

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Well it helps if you have nerve pain from Peripheral Neurophathy that makes wearing shoes torture.

[@richmarriott7468]

I’m doing drywall in my kitchen. I’ve been watching your videos and learning as I go. It won’t be perfect I know that but I feel more confident now

[@chadtuttle406]

U helped me alot with ur videos. I'm a beginner who took on a job that's drywall and I'm not a drywaller. So by watching ur utube has ultimately shown me the basics on what I need to thank you.

[@jhavajoe3792]

I rarely comment too much, but I must say- excellent video. You have the knack for keeping the interest with your down to earth, practical instruction. All in a nutshell- good info, confidence in the demo ( and that speaks of years of practice) and 1 shot of humor to keep things light. And the Camo Kilt- great on a hot day, yet macho enough.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Thanks, I appreciate your comments. The camo kilt is a utility kilt

[@stevewhite56]

What I appreciate is your love for people and your work. You are a great teacher and easy to understand! You have helped me tremendously in the short time I’ve been a subscriber! Thank you my friend and thank you for your service to our country!

[@barron7669]

Integrity, First, service Before Self, Air Power!!! You're an awesome Istructor.

[@inscrutianaII]

Thanks. I carried forward some framing mess and even used a different thickness in a spot due to time constraints. This clarified how to minimize the debt going forward.

[@DavidSmith-tw7bw]

Loves your videos. I work on high end kitchen and bathroom renovations in Florida typically alone and have used a lot of your experience on drywall repair with my own experience and it has really improved my A game. Looking at this video reminds me of why I hate others hanging my board, this one isn’t to bad but my biggest thing I tell hangers is never gap my inside corners or make recessed to but joints if possible.

[@jwil4905]

Recessed to butt joints aren't that big of a deal and not that hard to finish. They're also unavoidable if you don't want to waste a lot of board.

[@DavidSmith-tw7bw]

J Will: I typically hang from top down so that the cut is behind baseboards eliminating any possibility of that happening. I would agree that if you are patching in an area large or small then yes it could occur. Also when mudding recessed to recessed you can almost always do final finish in 2 coats vs 3 but that also depends on quality of finish performed. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa.

[@jwil4905]

@@DavidSmith-tw7bw A top-down hang is key on larger areas, for sure. And of course taper to taper is much easier to finish, but a 2 coat finish is tough if it's going to be visible.

[@cliffk.1074]

Just found this channel, you're a great teacher! Former Navy vet here.(aviation). Thank you for your service and great videos

[@cporter1775]

Just pre filled 300sq ceiling yesterday, trying something new today, to tape the 4 ft edge butt seam with homemade 5 3/4 in wide 3/4 ply with about 1 3/4 degree bevel cut centered giving a pocket for tape filling. Thank you for information

[@kaitlanday2932]

Straight forward and also humorous

[@rotfan77]

thanks for showing some of the common obstacles that I will face as I start to mud my drywall in. I was wondering how to go about working with some of the broken edge pieces. You answered all my questions. thanks again.

[@Krunch2020]

Re-using the wash water makes 90 minute mud into 30 minute mud. Comes in handy when topcoating the same day since all of your joints will be equal hardness. If you set the tape in hot mud and topcoat with topping as soon as it hardens it can save a day.

[@ericg803123]

thank you thank you THANK YOU!! I have spent hours on here trying to find a good explanation about HOW prefill is done... countless vidoes skip over this very important step.

[@andrewcarr2431]

great video, clear and concise. As with any job prep work is 80% of the effort.

Great explanation!! loved the humor

[@xXbakacoconutXx]

This was JUST the video I needed! I'm repairing the walls of a 1970's house, and every joint is HORRIBLE lol. I just dug out all the mud and layers of tape from a cracked butt joint, and found one layer of tape, one layer of MESH tape, and another layer of tape over a huge gap! It looks like the prefilled it, as I had to scrape it all out, but the gap is about a half an inch, AND one side is more recessed than the other. Nasty work all around lol. I'm hoping I can get it prefilled right this time so it doesn't end up just cracking on me again in the future!

[@shoshonehayes3074]

Sounds like the problem I have right now. What did you prefilled with?

[@Bubba24]

Great videos! Very educational!!! Thank you for sharing. Remember, knowledge is power!!!

[@Keith_KC8TCQ]

used to do a lot of prefilling, especially in garages where the ceilings were around 9-10 feet, there was usually a 1-2 ft rip in the middle of the wall, where paper joint met cut joint, much easier to tape and finish those when they are prefilled Used a LOT of durabond (hot mud) we taped with a bazooka, but I preferred to run bed coats and top coats on joints by hand. We always used durabond for bed coat and Plus 3 for top coat. I could mix 2 buckets of durabond, run both buckets, and have my tools clean and both buckets cleaned out ready to mix next batch before the first bucket's mud started to set

[@Renata_Knight]

I really enjoyed this video I'll be putting this knowledge to good use when I buy my first house!

I'm a complete novice and first time hanging sheetrock. I messed up in a few places (or many). But I mistakenly have a few sheets that meet factor edge with cut edge. How did yours turn out? Any advice?
