I think I would have driven a few nails into the 2x4 before gluing it to the back of the drywall. Then the stud can be detected from the other side with a stud finder.

[@stephenmurphy4604]

I’m originally from Ireland but living in California now. My friend at home does small jobs and he would price this for around €500 incl material. In San Francisco I’d be charging $2600-3000 for this with material. I’d probably throw in another $92 for the parking ticket I’d likely get being it’s San Francisco 🤯

[@know-a-guy]

Great show Handy. You’re right about the light. Big eye test to see what your lines and finish appear like. Of course in Alabama it’s all smooth finish on the walls here. I’d have to study up on a texture finish like this one today. Thanks.

[@kevindrevik7351]

Another great presentation. I've said before that this is an area I feel I need to work on a lot more. Excellent work on your part - something for me to aspire to.

Nice work!!! Perfect match!!! Perfectly executed start to finish!!!

[@robertf1749]

you make it all look so easy. I am doing some repairs in my house now (due to remodeling) and man I tell you, since I haven't done dw work in so long, you forget more than you know, and its hard to get that perfect match. and since you did it, you will know all the spots that got repaired, versus anyone else that doesn't know the repair is there.

I've used the sponge for decades on my home projects. Works great and really masks incompetence.

[@shanecateriny4359]

Love your vids. I make about 1300 per day profit doing roof repair and no one around me is doing it. I live in central fl. Been doing this for years now. Love how stupid simple it is. Went from custom builds, cabs, door, trim to killing it financially. All I do is roof repair now. Easy and make more than most docs. Also. I only have to work 1 day a week to cover all expenses. 2 days a week and retirement is beyond covered. Thinking about starting a KZbin channel as no one is doing this around me. I still love fine wood working but now I do it for fun not for money.

[@triplea6174]

O wow interesting and you should think about it I'd subscribe !

[@remodz6385]

It may not seem like it because there is so much demand, but there are many many roof repair companies in all parts of FL. Awesome job finding your niche👍

There is about to be a lot more roof repairs. 🌀🌀🌀🌀

[@scartoazul]

That's interesting.. I always been a interior painting.. and I'm been doing a lots of interior small repair on ceilings after other guys repair roof .. usually small leaks. I wonder what is exactly what you do.. I would love to see videos about it... Also.. most of this works go through home owners insurance.. is this how you get paid also? Or directly from people's pockets ?

For better lighting, try setting an led light (LED lights shouldn’t get hot enough to burn floor) flat on the floor shining up the wall but have it as close to the wall as possible. This should reveal the textured surface to us better. Hopefully camera can pick it up. Love these videos!

[@olivierbourgeois4748]

I have been a landlord for 52 years. Bought my first hour at 22 years of age. Did all my own work repairing wood lath plaster walls. With time , I found that when fixing large holes or small ones, I did not have to use any type of perfa tape or fiberglass tape to cover the seam of the repair. I use the additive used with Portland cement to help stick it to old concrete. It is available at Home Depot and Lowes. It goes by many names , it looks like cream. You paint the edges of the old plaster and add it to the dry hot mud you mix in place of water. I have used this in my own home as well as the rentals. I like it because it can be troweled flat. Unlike where you use prefra tape . Prefra tape causes a slight bump that must be feathered out wide in order to disappear. No where in any of the apartments or in my own home has this ever failed. No seam or edge that meets plaster has ever failed . None has ever opened up. Some repairs are 40+ years old with no prefra tape of any kind. It is more expensive to do it this way, but there are times when it is best.

[@chriscolameco6850]

I'm a philadelphia landlord it's all lath and plaster. Are you talking about the bonding acrylic additive? What do you use?

[@PaulMikna]

Nice work as always!

[@gyro4250]

Ive been doing pro drywall texturing on new construction for a while. did a andful of remodel jobs where we had to go in and do patching. I have since quit and gone solo, doing the handyman thing. The shit youre teaching is valuable to me. Did you really hot mud the whole process? Also the fiberglass tape. Im going to use nothing but from here on out. And the sponge! im never gonna sand a patch again. just scrape it decent and sponge it down. Still like my trowel though. You can keep that 12 inch knife

[@krisgair5863]

Amazing job that Mr handyman, 👏

[@michaelplays2449]

Nice job handyman !!!!!

[@307themiser]

Stucco mason here. The materials and labor translate welll from inside to outside (lath & stucco vs gypsum). Two 2x3 (approx) patches like that, front row (front of house- eye level) 1.8-2.2k. The biggest variable for us is tying into existing lath and sometimes that goes sideways. Low end is the easy texture like skip trowel, knockdown or curl and the high end is running the acrylic coats/textures on top.

21:46 I was about to call you a hack, when I seen you painting that wall without even taking the face plate off the outlet. But I gave it a minute. And you came through and took it off. Thank you. Too many people do our kind of work (I'm not a handyman, but I am a service tech for a property management company so I do it all, but I have 10+ years construction experience) and paint around the outlet covers and it looks like shit. I would love to start my own handyman business. I want to start a business that is honest, and does quality work. I'm just glad you took that face plate off lol

Adjust the exposure compensation to +1 (or maybe a little more) when using auto exposure in a white room.

[@TheHandyman1]

Thanks for the tip. I will try that.

[@MikeMouradian]

The camera thinks everything is 18% grey , so you overexpose white object and underexpose dark objects. Its counter intuitive

[@kenkre1212]

good video, thanks. like the new beard look.

[@Anthonycapone8146]

[@handybenny2016]

Great video thank you ! Another question I wish you will answer one day is what is your philosophy on growing your business by hiring people to work for you. What a Handyman should do if they are getting more and more work that they cannot handle as a “one man show” It looks like you found the way to grow your income by yourself without hiring people to work for you and that is amazing!!! If you posted a video about this subject in the past my apology.

Just did my plaster bathroom after the contractors screwed it up. They did not know how to use shims. Nice idea to make your own custom studs. I didn't see you put any tape on the seams though?

[@TheHandyman1]

You must have skipped the part where I talked about the tape.

[@JFlywheel]

@@TheHandyman1 Your right!, Just re-watched, looks like the froze / stopped early on my phone, right before you put the tape over your face lol. I didn't recognize you when the video link came up without the beard. But after I read the title I was in to watch you work! Yea my contractors were terrible, I had to tear out the walls and patched areas and redo everything myself, and I have never really done drywall, just patches. It came out way better by shimming out the drywall. I think they tried to do the no sand like you did, only they had no clue what they were doing so it just looked terrible. With all the paint on my walls I find it helped me to lightly sand the trowel marks to blend them in before I sponge but that is also because I have way less experience in getting the mud just how I want it the first time. These days I would think this could cost $3000 or even more depending how long it took you, but that is the price of good work right now when all the contractors are just hiring the cheapest labor from across the boarder and charging the same price.
