Great stuff. Thank you! I am about to do this very same thing and your video was short, informative, and to the point.

I'm close to this part in my attic project. I already found this video, but lost it. Found it again, f*cking awesome!

We're upgrading the walls in our kitchen from the original wood paneling to drywall. Our cabinets are real wood and we decided to not destroy them by taking them out and opted for 1/4" drywall overlay. One issue we've encountered is the transition from the countertop to the drywall. Tossing around the idea of using a small quarter-round and came across your video and you gave me the idea to use the l-bead for this. I worked in the drywall supply business for 13 years and as much bead as we ever sold, I had forgotten about this stuff. Thanks!

Another great tip! Great idea to cut away part of the corner bead! Do you have a picture after it was all finished? Would love to see the end result. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

Great stuff. I have an ensuite bathroom with a wood T&G ceiling and was wondering how to best approach this!

I am glad I saw this video because I just framed in my pre-cast stone fire place and was wondering how to make the edges of the cement board have a straight line appearance against the pre-cast. Thanks!

I wish it would have continued to demonstrate finishing the brick and mortar to the opposite side where they meet
they meet

This is great! Thank you. Subbed. No reason you couldn’t do that on a horizontal wall edge again Shiplap as well?

Great video!! Any suggestions for when the drywall edge is rounded and butting to wood? How would you close up the rounded gap to wood?

[vboutique]

Have you ever or could you use one of these beads that for example half attaches to wood and half attaches to sheetrock?

[Denoan]

Would you please tell me if that white on the old brick surface was there in the first place? Or did you put it??I wanna know what you have used on it. Thanks in advance.

Question — any suggestion for painting the side wall of a built in that’s butted up against a very jagged, irregular stone fireplace? There are spots where the rock is right up against the built-in, and there are spots with a one-inch gap. Thoughts?

[joshbodzin]

Do you tape the bead on the drywall after you attach it? Or just feather it to blend it in?

[DokterKattenbakvulling]

What's the purpose of trimming one end a bit beforehand? Thanks!

[eschrader]

How do you attach the T edge rip stuff? Spray glue and taping mud?

[ellirinks]

How about an outside corner? I have a wall that drywall meets knotty pine in a very bad way.

[JeffJennings]

Great tip. In my situation, i'm trying to do a transition from drywall to a cabinet board. This is at a high traffic corner of a Island. Any advice n what to use at this corner?

I just purchased a house and there is a large room with faux beams. The room is about 15' x 30' and the beams run the 30' length. I want put up a wall and make this into two rooms, which means the wall will go across the beams. Do I construct the wall around the beams or cut them out and install the frame and sheetrock between the cutout. Thank you for any advise.
