Happy to hear you are staying an artist and not falling into the trap of sales!✌️

my poor baby

yo VC

Love the shirt and all of your content. Skate for life 🤙🏻

I do a lot of drywall but I've always considered it a weak spot of mine. Your style, pacing, and thorough explanations are perfect. Thanks for all you do!

Keep ranting, the world needs those videos too! :)

I love this channel becuase he explains which material to choose and why. Just learned why I should not just use silicone chaulking.

I'd say that this isn't just for a beginner, but also for those of us that don't drywall for a living, and only do it on rare occasions. Tricks of the trade that most of us don't know, thank you for passing along all of your tips, tricks and advice! Do you have any advice for an overhead (ceiling) angled joint? I did my best, but it looks a little rough, still need to skim coat it and feather it out.

THANK YOU 🔨

If i'm not mistaken i'm pretty sure along with having good tips for fixing holes in the wall this dude also rips at skateboarding.

When you're "feathering," are you putting more pressure on the inside or outside of the trowel?

My dame boss fired me for trying to tell him to do this. He said I was waisting supplies and not taking the job seriously

Thanks!

You think this would work on brown coat? I have a wall where the white coat and brown coat withered away, from old water damage, down to the metal mesh in some areas. I have sakrete concrete glue and it says it’s okay to use on stuccos. I was thinking of using that mixed in with 20 minute easy sand to fill it in as my first step.

Thanks!

加油！

You’re still THE ONE!!!

you should do sponsored videos with the tool/products you use on your jobs. I like your channel for the videos and your personality, but I would also appreciate you telling me what kind of products u use because you have integrity and that helps me buy stuff I need to do my work. What I don’t always appreciate is some of the channels I watch take sponsorships and you see those products pitched across a ton of channels so they’re just doing it for the money, which I understand, but I think your viewers would appreciate knowing what you buy and use.

As many here, I have watched a lot of UA-cam content and hands-down I find your videos the most useful I have ever watched. I began watching your videos in the spring of 2023 during a renovation. I had 18 holes in the kitchen alone that I had to patch after ripping out the old kitchen and starting over. The house is 100 years old and has a combination of lathe and plaster, various thickness of drywall, and in some places two different thicknesses of drywall over or in place of the old plaster. It seem like every time I got one area patched on the next spot it would require a different approach, and I would be back to the drawing board, looking at your videos to see how to tackle it. I watched other drywall videos as well, but never got the concise, sequential, pertinent information I would need - except from your videos. Your quirky sense of humor was an added plus! ;) There was a pretty big learning curve, but with your information I was able to tackle them all. Now I have a skill set I can use forever. I just had to do a patch in the ceiling from squirrel damage and I went back to your videos for refresher and was able to accomplish it without problem. I can’t thank you enough. I enjoyed the personal “get to know you“ nature of this video, as well as appreciate your candor; and I greatly respect your regard for sacrificing UA-cam content to better build a relationship with your family. 🙏🏻

I wonder why their never has been A replacement for dry wall . All these years . I’m not a fan of plaster and I hate dry wall dust . I guess fire proof is part of it - don’t. Know

I have learned so much about drywall and mudding from you and am glad you made all these videos. I hear you on "UA-cam is hard" as we have a Finance channel on UA-cam (not even monetized yet) and can attest to the fickleness of UA-cam. I would love to see you do a second channel doing woodworking and carpentry, that might relieve some of the boredom and breath life back into your UA-cam work. Anyway, love watching your videos and hope you keep it up...I have so much more to learn!

So is it safe to wash brushes on the kitchen sink? What about the rest? Bucket, rollers and roller plate? I had this idea not to wash paint in the sink but maybe the paint is now different that is ok to do so 🤔

You and the Helpful Vancouver Vet are two of the most helpful people from Vancouver.

Keep your priorities in order. Good job

foot fetish is huge on the inter-webs. I bet your video ends up on foothub

Ah, one more hidden thing to contribute to my project time underestimation disease. You are indeed correct, as I learned the hard way.

Id be cool with just working videos Ben. You might not need to put in as much commentary as you think. You could do the sponsored thing and just work, pick away at the current project without as much verbal input. The one thing you should share is that the less than average run 1200 sq ft house anywhere in Vancouver is like a millon bones. Ig you were doing this in Calgary you'd be in a house. There us also the stupid transfer tax in BC🤢. I ian a life long Albertan moved to northern BC where my wife is from. Wonderfully in the last decade a big mine and lumber mill shut down and now in the last year the other massive lumber mill closed its doors.... We moverd here during covid too boot 😂. So your saying if i start a youtube channel, money doesnt just roll in on its own hahaha. Digress much

Hanging corner bead is by far my favourite part of finishing. I completely agree how well a drywaller hangs his corner beads separates from other drywallers. Checking levels, evening out spaces and lining up nicely where beads meet up are the things us OCD minded finishers really notice. Even when I do long sections where 2 or more beads need to be used such as along ducting I pull out my laser so it doesn't look like I used a spegetti noodle to bead along it. Cheers from Vancouver island

As much as I would love to see you and your daughter in videos working together, please keep her off of UA-cam. Hold on to that time and keep it sacred.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I'm an IT pro not a drywall pro but this has been my experience... If there's cracking then you're getting movement where you shouldn't be so there are structural or panel installation issues that need to be addressed. I make sure the framing is complete & solid, glue & screw every sheet of drywall, then mesh tape everywhere (yes, even the corners!). No issues with cracking on all four houses I've completed in the last 8 years but I know that's nothing compared to someone who does this as their primary occupation. But that's been my results anyway.

As a homeowner, I have gained a ton of great information from your videos. Do what you need to do, but keep up the great work.

Totally understand your sentiments. We are fortunate that you have invested so much time in making great content we can learn from. Many thanks.

I was a Daddy’s girl through and through. The time he took to teach me has served me well throughout my life. He was raised on a mountain farm up in the Allegheny’s. His father had no qualms with the need for stereotypes so my Uncles and Aunts on that side learned to do whatever was needed. Guys who meet me now, can tell I was a Daddy’s girl, I can hold my own with them all these decades later 😂. I wish my maternal Uncle who was a master carpenter would have had the same set of ethics instead of thinking only boys needed to know. Keep up the great work!

I put wood glue in Easy Sand 45 because you said so and it works brilliantly. Thank you! (I am just a DIY home remodel junkie so I don't need production speed)

Is there a way to compile your best instructional videos on another site and create a kind of drywall academy and maybe charge a one time fee to access the entire library?

My man, I'm a fellow Canadian on the other side of the country and I stumbled upon your videos whilst doing some patch work in my house. Admittedly I'm not here every week, but when the algorithm is favorable, I'll catch up. I also have a whack of kids and I am in awe of you being able to juggle everything, it's hard, but seeing dudes like you making it work is inspiring.

I’m professional and for muddling drywall it’s not that useful. For concrete muddling that corners are not straight,it helps creating a sharp corner. Also it’s even more useful for decorative techniques like cement plaster or marmorino plaster that are nearly impossible to sand when dry and you have to make things perfect during application. Especially when applying cement mortar on furniture ,benches , and other complicated surfaces , its a very useful tool. Side note all tools MUST be stainless steel and they are pricey 😅

I don't understand why that wall isn't flat, or why anybody would want it like that.

You know what? I am creatively satisfied because I was able to roll my kitchen drywall flat after I pulled the tile. That video helped. I have a suggestion, recycle old videos with a pre-cap to point out mistakes and key techniques. Envision a 90 second pre (old video) talk about what to focus on and take away publish that and then make the videos you want. Have you considered a second channel like technology connections? Looks like it works well for him.(edit -spelling)

We always called it a blow patch.

Yes please keep the videos coming. I need refresher's on stuff you have already covered all the time. Sometimes I have a hard time finding it in the old videos. So yes keep it up and thank you. I once I found your videos I really enjoy finishing Drywall

Your video is exactly what I'm looking at in my 1920 home. Thank you so much for showing me what to do. :o)

Im really glad you never do sponsorships. Its stupid. I used to watch some guys that have become huuuuge youtubers since i started watching them. They do all the click bait all the sponsors and it has changed them and i dont watch them anymore because they are selling their soul and its not enjoyable to me.

Ffs how many times. Batten the back of the hole put a piece in flush and then add scrim.

I really enjoy hearing you talk

Lol

Appreciate your content so much. Theae videos where really fun to watch.

I watch your videos because they are extremely informative and you seem like a real nice human as well......lol Keep making videos of some kind of fixing things....

tip for sanding paint, you'll be surprised how big of a difference when you add a bit of water to your sander, or wipe the surface first with a damp cloth. Even with a high grit 400-600 sand paper, you can sand through layers of paint without issue.
