Thanks! Great info. I didn’t know about nail plates. Great job too. FYI, rule of thumb, paper tape for premix (air dry) joint compound, mesh tape for quickset, as you did.

[envisionelectronics]

I had this exact situation when I did my kitchen. Same fix too. Glad I made the right choice because it was a head scratcher for sure.

[rudymustang]

I have this exact situation and now I know how to fix it. Thank you.

[seaofrage]

Very helpful video! Ran into this when i removed the soffet over my bathtub.

[danielmierop]

Thank You, I have just exactly that problem. Learned something!

[ryanfowler]

For future reference, make sure the wire sheathing is not making direct contact with the edge of the nail plate, as they have sharp edged, other than that awesome work.

I'd also notch a bit for the nail plates so the drywall can sit flush.

[jim]

This video solved the issue i was having, thanks so much!

[jeffbyfield]

I use a spade bit to notch out a small channel and clean up the sides with a multi tool.

Am I the only one who thought, just pull the unfinished sheet rock no cutting necessary... plus adds a better visual of what fixes are possible.

[jaydee]

I save the weights in the bottom of vertical blinds before throwing them away. I use them when I have no nail plates available.

Hi! What's your first name? Thanks for the great video!
Had this situation recently when my handyman removed the soffits in my kitchen - he notched the wood a little, like you did, however he did not use nail plates. hmmm...
And how about reading that code - it would drive me to drink...and I don't drink ;)
The illustrations/diagrams are more my style.

Awesome. I have to upgrade my electric service and know I'm going to run into surprises. Need 2 20A dedicated circuits in garage and in back room I use for mitre saw and my box is full. I know I have to get a permit and install a sub panel next to the main. If I don't have to upgrade my main panel I may be able to do it myself through self learning and poring over the NEC codes and ones from my area. Worst case I'll know what to buy and have everything ready for the electrician if I need to hire one.

[Forged_Garage]

awesome!!! another informative video!!!

[eugenkaranxha]

I use the fiber tape try that next time it’s the best tape I found so far it blends perfect with the drywall when you send it down and you won’t see the tape at all or the shape of it after it’s finished and it bond’s perfectly vs the paper tape that I see a lot on properties that it comes loose after a period of time

[Mrdealornodeal]

Good video. I had this exact similar scenario

[MohdNaous]

The work look so neat and easy, but I am thinking just get those tools (the special woodcutter etc) and materials (metal plates) would take days of work....:)

[DrWhoRocks]

That top nail plate is going to slowly slice thru that romex. Definitely a code violation.
