Yeah in my 20s my idols were Rock stars, now my idols are guys that are experts at doing drywall and other home improvements.

My husband passed 2 years ago so its up to me to do repairs. The lower roof in the dining room was leaking. The roof was repaired but of course there is damaged drywall on the ceiling. I appreciate this video, thank you! Ifound it really helpful! I've been using tools that I've never used before drill, saws ect. I'll be using the materials you're using. I can do this!😊

[chrisschofield]

I'm a 23 yr old contractor just getting started doing jobs on my own. Thank you for the straightforward instruction and helpful explanations throughout the video. Definitely worth the sub

Retired pilot, built my own house in the early 90’s. Took me 5 years. Made my own cabinet’s, vanities, trim. Did it all. Now 67, had renal cancer, chemotherapy, etc can’t do much now, but can do most stuff still today, but it takes me longer! Love watching all skilled people do their specialty. Always learning from back when I did mine. Good job!🤠👍

A little tip to home owners if you get a leak in a ceiling as soon as you notice put a whole in it so it doesn’t spread across the whole board it can prevent the sheet from bowing and falling the water spreads and starts soaking the drywall causing it to turn soft and the screws pull loose

[michaelcoffey]

You're doing everything the way I would. I'm a 71 year old retired painter/paperhanger from NJ. Ran a small business for 45 years. Would rather be young and still working without the pain. Good job.

I'm a drywall company we do a lot Duplexes condos apartment buildings But I have 2 drywall crews of 3 to 4 man teams. And I have 2. To 3 man Tapers and We do houses New construction houses output all the crew If you know we put all the cruise in 1 house just to knock it out And get out of there Whatever really like your video I just came on my know that they're 3 years old You do a good work You're a real good teacher for somebody that wants to try do jobs for themselves

[reneehewitt]

I’m a 21 year old DIY’er and I have to say this is by far the most interesting and easiest job I’ve ever seen with drywall. I have lots of repairs to do in my house, so I really hope I’ll be able to do it as smoothly.

[suntheranpadiachy]

One skilled craftsman Paul, this is as close to art as any trade can get, well done, gifted.

66 yr old DIYer here, on a tight budget. I can do this thanks to your clear instructions! 🎉

[susannahvera]

homeschool mom watching. I'm tired of seeing the hole in my garage ceiling and as I am emptying the garage to paint the floors, I ran across a drywall square that would be great for a patch. So glad I found this video! I can't wait to get my firring strips
in place and get to work!

[brettpodolak]

I watched this video 3/4 times in preparation for my first drywall repair in my first home. Followed the steps Paul outlined with the techniques and products he recommended and it turned out perfectly!! Thank you for the knowledge and instruction!!

[CertifiedMailSignatureRequired]

I'm a 41 year old mortician & let me tell you this made my day. I look forward to telling my husband I can fix the ceiling on my next day off :)

Thanks, Paul!

[tnsteele]

As a DIY homeowner I'm getting ready to do a similar repair where an upstairs tub trap leaked. That texture technique is just what I was looking for. Great video

[onblastcortez]

I am a commercial drywaller and I absolutely love your videos! You do good work, and I love watching and learning from you! Keep em coming! -Rose C.

Great video Paul. I do ceiling repairs in condominium buildings. Most leaks are caused by a leaking bathtub drain or toilet wax ring leaks. I use a oscillating multitool to cut the plaster coated stucco ceiling. Then I use the wood and cut it 4 inches longer on each side of the repair . I also use a thin drill bit to make pilot holes to screw the wood to the ceiling so the plaster won’t crack. Then I screw the new drywall using shims to level the repair and make it flush with the rest of the ceiling. Afterwards I bed the mash tape with 20 minute mud. After the mud sets up I give it a second coat of 20 minute mud through the rest of the repair extending the mud 12 inches from the repair. The third and fourth coats I use 90 minute mud very thinned out so I can skim coat the rest of the repair. I let it dry well between each coat. On the third day I sanded prime it and paint it. Thank you for sharing your techniques specially the skip trowel finish.

Superior video, superior work, superior person-brain. I am a homeowner/DIYer who has watched thousands and thousands of youtube videos and saved oodles of money and guaranteed that by doing it ourselves it's going to be done right. My wife and I even fix our own roof leaks on our tiled roof and it's not just the money we save but the hassle of dealing with many, many dishonest incompetent people out there. Thanks from Miami, Florida.
