I do this work for a living and I still enjoy watching videos of others doing the same. weird, right? I have to say that substituting drywall for real plaster has really become the easiest and quickest way to repair these ailing ceilings. If I were to offer one suggestion and it's small, I have had great success with back laminating the drywall panels with durabond. this would especially be helpful on the edges or were drywall screws aren't properly anchored. the durabond also forms new keys to act as a fail safe and give you hands free screwing. when doing this, you would obviously have to dust off and use plaster weld or other pva for superior bond. just a thought...not saying my way is better..just another way. keep up the good work!

I love how you keep your errors in the videos. Makes them so much better than most others, AND it makes me feel less bad about my mistakes. But only because you're such a boss

[bencorriveau]

I literally just thumbs up every video this guy makes before I even watch it as I know it’s gonna be good

OMGOSH!!! You couldn’t have had this problem about a month ago? My husband and I took all the plaster and lath off of a wall in our bedroom because we had old water damage behind wallpaper and part of the wall was crumbling off on one side. We ended up putting drywall over the entire wall and now I’ve finished fixing all the cracks in the other 2 plaster walls, I even floated out the bottom of the wall from the baseboards to even out the walls AFTER watching your videos. Thank you for passing along your knowledge to us “newbies” with home improvements.

Great job. I’ve been a renovator for over 15 years and I still love these videos and Learn a thing or two. Thanks VC

Am a BIG fan of your work, and especially now since I have a near IDENTICAL patch to fix in my OWN kitchen ceiling. And now I know how, thanks to you! Keep making these videos! Frankly I don’t know why you don’t have your own show on TV yet. You’d be brilliant.

I found a similar issue at my girlfriends house that had been left unrepaired for years. I did the same kind of repair you did and it turned out awesome. Great knowledge shared here.

Wow... That's the strongest patch I've ever seen... Nice work... With all your experience and trials and errors - You make it look so easy... Great work...!

Great video! I restored 8 historic homes and this is what we did, but you did it even better. Thank you!

Thank you for being authentic and not editing the screw blunders out…. Helps some of us not feel so inadequate… lol

This is the perfect video for what I'm about to do at my dad's place. He's barely lived there for over 20 years and it's now in terrible condition. Over the last 30 years or so, there have been 3 or 4 leeks from the neighbour's kitchen above and I'm expecting to find a similar plastering issue as in your video. I graduated as a painter earlier in the year and now I'll be putting my skills to the test over the next 3 months as I attempt to repair most of the walls (and some ceilings) in my dad's flat.

thank you for this! first time home owner here currently literally in the thick of it. appreciate all of your videos!

[jennaschmitz]

This video has saved me thousands of dollars patching plaster in my 100 year old home. Thank you SO MUCH!!

[WickedAwesomeGardening]

This was exactly the video I needed to see! I am about to take down old wallpaper at my parents house and I have feeling a section about this size is “load bearing” so there will be a big hole when I take the paper down! This is pretty much what I thought would need to be done to fix it but really really great to see it demonstrated before I go do it!

[chrislambert]

Thanks Ben timing on this perfect, just started a drywall/plaster patching project in my house and had just finished fitting the drywall. I’m going to give the wide fibafuse a try for the joints.

[reshumaker]

Thanks so much for your advice, knowledge, and humble nature. You are my go-to when I need assistance with drywall/plaster projects.

[andrewharmon]

I successfully patched a 2X2 hole in the ceiling, following your suggestions, and it went very well. Thanks for these videos!

[HilltownCreations]

So wish I bumped into your videos 8 months ago, but glad I found you now! Thank you for taking time to make these videos!

[nykkiflandiva]

Thank you thank youuu. I really needed to see this as I’m a single mother and 1st time homeowner attempting to do some DIY projects. So far most have been successful thanks to Google and YouTube. Good job sir.

Great video. As someone who has done repairs for decades I enjoy learning new tips. The only thing in this video that threw me off is ' the leak is probably from bad flashing that will soon be addressed '. ALWAYS find and repair the leak issue before repairing plaster/drywall. Your now 'stronger than original ' plaster repair will simply spread the leak damage even further if the leak is not addressed first. Many times I have had roofers that need several attempts to 'find the true leak problem ', especially when dealing with 'old roof systems, which is basically any structure that used 'plaster.
