The number one home improvement channel in the entire universe. You've got to be inclusive.

[@kenanwang1101]

Does the word “world” only include the earth?

[@dpeagles]

@@kenanwang1101 Yes, it's very insensitive.

Mudding right above the coffee maker. Classic!

[@droolbunnyxo9565]

"This coffee tastes like mud - yuck!" ☕🤨 "Of course, silly ~ it was GROUND this morning!" 😌

[@MSeroga]

If you look very carefully, I believe its under the wall, but could have probly still been moved, but he might of had to charge extra for that ;) haha.

[@mozberg2191]

screw em, lazy ass tenants don't want to move their shit, its not up to him to move it.

It was cool to see those columns. They have held up great. Perfect job.

[@anthonygriffin1147]

Fully agreed.

[@paulbryant68]

paul, im paul and you taught me how to patch firstly and then do entire tear outs and rock! keep it up bruthu cause you makin’ us dat dolla or too! thx

[@PaulPeck]

@@paulbryant68 That's so awesome to hear Paul! I really appreciate that feedback. Made my day man!! -Paul

[@PaulPeck]

@@ozziestrom9793 Maybe a little. But, you want the hot mud on the thinner side so it soaks into the paper tape on the bed coat.

[@paulbryant68]

you need to know that you are making a difference in peoples lives, i know thats motivation to make the vids...i used to do all of my car lot commercials and the average person doesn’t understand the time and exhausting energy it takes to edit muchless the freekin energy doing the actual work for the content in the vid...and yes the small jobs are the easier money when you break it down for the year...jus keep doin you bra!

[@SkyroofNova72]

You can get overhead aerosols for priming a small stain like that as well. Good time saver for me.

[@ryanmitchell4266]

5:03 Not paid to move the coffee maker? LOL

[@hectorsanchez2524]

I don't think the tenants care judging by the disgusting house lol

[@Layarion]

@@hectorsanchez2524 tbh the wate tubes in it or pump probly clogged up so instead of cleaning the build-up from water that has stuff in it out, they just assumed it's broke. still, he should have kicked it aside unless they already said it's trash.

[@El_Chapo1972]

I remember watching all of the videos from this house that you have done previously, it’s great to see that they have held up. Great job

[@Wilbargosh]

I much prefer the house to be vacant when I’m getting a rental property ready for sale. That way we get all the jobs done at once and I’m free to come and go.

[@TheHandyman1]

I agree. I get back in on Monday. They should be mostly moved out and I can start my work.

[@danharold3087]

Knew a few people who were into this. More often than not if one did a great job fixing the new owners would demo it and remodel. Yet if it was not fixed up it was near impossible to sell it for a profit.

[@frankj5947]

Sad fact but totally believable!

[@woodworkerroyer8497]

You need to change that intro to: "the #1 home improvement channel in the entire... (solar system, galaxy, universe, etc)" Gotta love the Terantinoesq "ssoooonnnn ooofff aaaa.... rosebush" LOL

[@High_Desert_Tanner]

I like to use plastic trim boards for the bottom trim on columns like that. NEVER EVER EVER rot lol...

[@DemonOfFury]

And for exterior window trim! That pvc board holds up well as long as its painted

[@HVYContent]

“Best practice for the dollar” Great statement. In the service industry, customer’s expectations vs market value/time allocation for service/equipment requirements seldom align. If they are “in the know” and understand the costs and benefits, highest grade materials utilized. If not, best options are worked around the parameters set by client

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Killer boots man

[@JL4ever]

YES! What kind of boots are those???

[@TheHandymanBusiness]

@@JL4ever They are a channel sponsor. Boots rockroosterfootwear.com/ The ones you see me wearing in my videos are actually pretty comfortable. They sent me another pair that are painful.

[@anthonygriffin1147]

I'm so confused why there was a keurig in the garage and why the cord ran down the wall from the ceiling.

[@TheDesertRat31]

@@TheHandymanBusiness which ones were painful?

[@anthonygriffin1147]

@Tony McSteven bwahaha

[@chilidog73]

Here's my word of advice. Don't hire a home inspector. Hire a roof inspection, a foundation inspection, an HVAC inspection, a mold inspection, etc. That's the only way you'll truly know what's up before buying a home.

[@meyer629]

We need a whole video in the Handyman chipmunk voice!!! Too funny!!

[@theothermarshal]

'How would you like your coffee sir?' ... 5:10... 'Hot. Like my mud.'

[@delikat83]

Hey Handyman. We too use buckets with lids and label 5 min 20 min 45 and so on. Kilz is some strong stuff catch a nice buzz after all day working with it. Shellac based primer when in a time pinch. Great Video 📹 👍 Richard's Painting Service Inc.

[@spiveydurango5437]

Kilz is not a good buzz, former painter

[@delikat83]

@@spiveydurango5437 of course not

[@stevebabiak6997]

That original Kilz does give off vapors; notice he was mindful of that and had left the area open for ventilation.

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Handyman out there stackin that cash! Money money!

[@HAL-dm1eh]

I've been looking to get back into the residential painting business but you are convincing me I need to not limit myself and branch out. Probably 10x's the opportunity for good business!

[@wrenchaholic_]

When you remove something secured virtually. Start with the fasteners at the bottom. Then the top. And it won't fall on you.

[@frontlinediy1814]

I love it when you mention money. Thats just for the trolls or I feel it is. Keep triggering them trolls makes me laugh while I'm working.

[@alandgomez5905]

Feels like I'm missing something lol.

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

People that destroy a house even though it's not theirs don't deserve to live in a house.

I have often told people that our society will prosecute those who abuse animals, children and the elderly, and if we did the same for “abuse of residence” there would be lots more arrested.

warms my heart to see you popping that 3/8 adapter into your 18 volt dewault impact drill. I use the same setup doing the same things you do to earn my living 😂

[@Warren3carpentry]

As usual great stuff love the handyman work

[@Dunkasnu]

Hey Handyman, I’ve been in the trades working for a GC for about 6 years now. I currently have a young 2 year old son and my girlfriend and I live on our own. Although I’m not a master of anything I do have a wide variety of skills. I’ve been recently offered a job as superintendent for my building part time and I want to take the opportunity to start my own business since I’ll have so much spare time and this job will give me access to a workshop. My girlfriend works from home so bills won’t be an issue and I’ll be able to take my new business at my own pace. Thank you so much for your content otherwise I wouldn’t have the courage to take this new leap in my life.

[@Dunkasnu]

Forgot to mention that the superintendent position just covers my rent so I am taking a bit of a hit in my wallet

[@xXM1NORTHR3ATXx]

3:37 That KEURIG sponsorship lol

[@nickk4010]

Loving the channel and learning a lot from you. Since watching you it gives me more confidence to try to improve my skills. Whats up with all the 3-4 foot backyard fencing on the sides and back? Is that the code in your area or is it HOA? Seems like no privacy.

[@CasinoBanditos]

Love your channels!!! Keep it up!! 🙌🏽

[@EM-fi2qg]

What do you do with the debris after the job, if it doesn't fit in their trashcan? Do you run it to the dump each job, or do you have a large bin to store it, until it's worth a dump trip?

[@TheHandyman1]

All of the above.

[@stevemarquez9628]

What material did you use on the Tuff Shed door trim? Mine looks a lot like that.

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video handyman, excellent work

[@mikeoliver455]

I would have suggested a metal corner trim piece on top of the mud to protect it from getting beat again

[@ceecee7879]

Dirty Secret is....deadly landscaping.

[@TheDesertRat31]

As I listen to your description of the interior, I'm reaffirmed as to why I don't have rental property..... That and the handful of repairs I've done for my father-in-law in his houses. Too much of a headache, most of the stuff would not even need to be done if the tenants gave a flip. I know, that's good for you, and I may change my mind and expand my side work to include fix-ups, but to see how the house is treated when your money is in it....

[@Harley365]

I use a screwdriver to hammer paint lids closed as well. I was always told that every tool has a hammer side.

[@BellahWorks]

Good work! Thanks for sharing

[@sroberds640]

Here in Missouri no one wants to pay the worth. A lot of times the business owned rentals just won't pay, they will just say they don't like the color of the paint and not pay.

[@richboyz166]

Good job mr handy man I know you like your job it’s like a piece of cake to you

[@berniemac8413]

Probably should have painted all 4 sides of the 4” trim siding on the shed .. looked like the Smart Trim made out of OSB.. painting it first will make it last longer..

[@TheHandyman1]

Maybe on a personal house that I was going to own for a long time. This is a fix and flip type deal.

[@berniemac8413]

The Handyman gotcha.. that’s guaranteed work for you in 5 years or so if somehow you keep in contact with the new owners..

[@jasonbruce1835]

Painting and mudding without your onesie on. Already gobbed up the new boots.

By far the best KZbin channel!! Out of curiosity, are you charging $2000 for just the first house or both houses combined? Can’t wait for your next video.

[@TheHandyman1]

[@Nomad_Briggs]

Non filler here. What is hot mud ?

[@feralbeliever4248]

It is a powder form of drywall mud where you have to add water and mix it. It is also called “setting mud” or “hot mud,” and contains chemicals that react when water is added. It doesn't depend on the "air" to harden/dry, but on the chemicals. The "HOT" part is because those chemicals produce heat when the mud is hardening.

[@TheHandyman1]

Setting compound. amzn.to/2Hb6XOn
