Would it not make sense to just re-drywall? Seems like more work than it’s worth.

I run a company entirely on knowledge I’ve acquired from this channel and not ones in 2 years have I had to warranty any work. You’re literally the God of drywall.

My wife thinks I am crazy when I get excited because there is a new drywall video. My favorite channel! Thanks for sharing your hard earned expertise with us.

Because of this guy I was confident enough to mud and tape a whole 950 sq ft basement. I totally under bid the job and lost money at the end of the basement development.. this guy and others help me to off set that lost.. thanks for your videos

Wow, that skimming with the big tool was beautiful! I understand how much the filming impacts the actual work, so I'm even more grateful that you make these videos!

[daveparker]

I’m completely self taught when it comes to drywall. And I’m really grateful for this channel. Thanks!

I've been working for a a real estate company and I just realized how much these guys don't know about drywall so on my own jobs I've been watching your videos and thank you so much for your help cuz they're really turning out nice

Little tip from an Aussie plasterer. You can use fly screen, you can buy it in rolls and it is reasonably inexpensive they do different grades of strength as well to suit whatever you are trying to reinforce. I find the mud penetrates through the holes a lot easier than the other forms of fibreglass mesh

So glad to see there is a patch alternative. Digging into the wall can be such a problem, with debris falling down, matching drywall thickness, sistering 2x2 nailers. And those are just the problems I ran into fixing a small section not knowing any better! Great repair option!

I have done some repairs for a friend with a time & budget concerns by coating small areas with missing paper and exposed gypsum with 1-2-3 primer then patching with 45 minute lite weight mud. The results were great/undetectable after primer & paint and has held up really well over time, , even on a bathroom ceiling.
Admittedly it was an experiment but it worked.

Great work. A couple years ago I skimmed out a 2k square foot house of sand texture ceiling, that was over plaster. After watching you videos for a few years it wasn’t as much guess work, I knew exactly what I wanted to do and exactly why I was doing it. I’ve never had any instruction and have had to learn taping and skimming as I’ve gone. I got and used a Darby like yours on that job for the last wipe and swipe on the ceiling, almost no sanding. It’s was so flat. Thank you for all your efforts. Your helping a lot of us.

It's great that you also show the little errors (and corrections) you make so we know that's normal. Thanks!

This is crazy! I watch your skate videos all the time and had no idea you had a carpenter/renovation channel! I just bought my first house and stumbled across this channel in the middle of my own home repairs. Now you’re giving me content that applies to a whole new area of my life 😂 Thanks man!

Love it when you get a new tool love the new tomahawk, getting ready to finish 100 homeowner hung sheets, Im going to remember how much energy you have doing your job.

[lindseychaney]

Been watching your channel for about a year. Learned quite a bit from you. Very impressive work!!!!

[craigkovatch]

"Why not feather out some of these edges while we're here?" Tbh this is a new life philosophy after watching this channel.

11:10 absolutely brilliant using the 2x4 to flatten out the concrete fill!

[suzanneschristie]

I'm thrilled to see you using a smoothing blade! I bought the Marshalltown set about 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love them. Your reaction to it was priceless! Thank you for all of your videos!

[chaplainand]

Thanks for taking the time and extra effort to educate us - about not jus how and what, but why. I hope you had an excellent weekend and the homeowner gave you a bonus for doing such an excellent job!

Suggestion... Use fiberglass window screen. I use it a lot for plaster repairs, and run a 48" wide roll through a miter saw to get rolls of varying widths (ex. 4", 8" 12").

Thanks for the mud drywall advice, from New Zealand! Did my first go on an uneven wall - first time ever and took a while to get a handle of it, especially the mess lol. More confident handling mud now, thanks to your vids :-) Much appreciated.
