I can promise you 99.9% of people will never ever walk into that room and notice whatever imperfections you're worried about on your repair job, however a much, much larger percentage of people WOULD immediately have noticed the large gaping space. Your job looks great. That's a good gain by the numbers. Thank you for the advice🙂
It's funny because I point things out to home owners all the time. I've worked in trades and continue to from time to time and I always find the stories interesting. Most of the time people like talking to me about it because it is almost a stress reliever.
Another tip also, when you have a gap that big you should fill 3/4 of it with that clay filler they sell at hardware stores. They are super cheap. Then you should put wood filler over it. Doing this will give it better uniformity and also give it more stable foundation for the wood filler to mold to...
I have so much respect for you! I’ve been in construction and the handyman business for about 40 years full and part time… and I must say that you did a fantastic job both in your technique and your verbal commentary to describe what you are doing and why! Bravo! No it’s not perfect, but it’s more than most people will try to do! Love and friendship to you! PS, I love your accent btw 😉
Hey O’ Danny Boy, question after I use a wood filler and sand it down then let it cure is it possible I can drill holes and place a hinge then attach it to a storm door? A chunk of wood came out of the bottom hinge area and the storm door creaks and is very annoying and doesn’t close at all.
THANK YOU!!! Great video! At 71 and single I am doing repairs and a little remodeling on my little RV home. This was exactly what I needed to see. It was the process of filling the space I couldn't picture what to use... thank you problem solves.
So glad to help Crafty Redesigns! And good luck with your remodeling project! Recently I have been only using the filler I used in the video, Famowood! Good for interior and exterior!
Yes, it's a major improvement! I watched this video because I had a similar situation over our Kitchen counter, and you showed me that it could be done. Thanks so much for doing this video! 👍
Thank you! I have gaps just like this in several door jams because of previous baseboards being installed improperly. I never would have thought to fill with foam first!
Thanks for the video Tuba. It helped me a lot! I love your humor with the snow & flower. I'm a perfectionist and I drive myself crazy. Your light heartedness teaches me I don't have to be micromillimeter perfect. And your job looks great! Now I'm off to the coal mines trying to finish off my mess!
It's really interesting to see the view from inside a house when it's snowing. I've never lived anywhere that it snows. 42 years and I've only seen it snow few times and never stick on the ground. So cool.
Hey there 🤚🏼nice to meet you just wanted to let you know I am grateful and so very happy I found you. Let me just say as well after years of watching countless UA-cam videos I don’t quite understand how it took this long to find you! I absolutely love your style of video it is just what I need. and your accent is an adorable bonus, thank you for helping me through my trials and renovation process! you are appreciated and will forever be on my subs list ❤️ someday I hope to give back beyond sharing and liking but until then, just consider me your new walking billboard of a subscriber! Lol
This is a lot better than some attempts I have seen. I can tell by the way you handle material that you are experienced. Bondo does have a smell for a brief period, but the beauty is that it is more amenable to tooling and sanding once dried. I think that would have led to a better result with less effort. I would usually put a sheet of something like thin, like Mylar on the counter surface to act as an adhesion barrier so the filler is not bonding to both surfaces. Things will move and eventually there will be a crack. Once the filler is cured the Mylar can be trimmed flush with a knife. Good job!
Read that a couple of others commented on liking the styrofoam idea. Well, I just knew there was a reason I didn’t throw out bits and pieces of packaging styrofoam away! Good job.
Thank you SO much for this video. I needed to remove the header of a doorway to move bulky furniture. I replaced the header board, but still need to fill the gaps. I'm going to use all of your tricks. Wish me luck!
Thanks for the video. Planned on sealing a few gaps and will definitely use wood filler instead of the crappy spray foam. The end result looks so much cleaner the way you do it.
thank you, I will now go and buy some clay filler and wood filler because I need to fill two casings on my door which I installed to make the large gaps disappear to hide the spacing between the casing to make it look like a seamless joined angle. thanks again, very good demonstration.
Very well done.... and you can’t even tell it’s imperfection up close... the only criticism I have is when you use painters tape and you use wood filler, caulking, paint, etc. you should score it with a knife first before you pull out that tape or it will peel off something you don’t want damaged.... this job you did tho is really well done. Bravo 👏
Thank you! You are so right about the tape! Nothing happened in this project but my bathroom floor painting project got ruined a bit when I pulled the tape!! Thankfully it was behind the door not really visible, after that incident I scored the rest of the tape😂 lesson learned!!
thank you! this is what i’m currently dealing with at my house as well. worker left me a huge gap. this was so so helpful i really appreciate it. turned out perfect in your house! can’t even tell that huge gap was there.
It doesn't need to be perfect always. With a gap that big I think it came out great. Thanks for sharing and giving another fellow female home fixer the courage to fill the huge gap in my kitchen!! :)
Minor tip: when filling, you could use the bricklayers technique of point tucking here to use a little less filler and keep it a bit neater. Less sanding and less mess 👍
I appreciate your videos Tuba, you provide me with much confidence and I enjoy going to the hardware and researching products online. I love your accent! 🌿💜📝📐📏🔨🔧🖌️🎨👷
This was very helpful. I'm excited about beginning my sanding and woodfiller and sanding again and painting! It's snowing here too, even though it's mid-April. Will winter weather never end?!!?
I would use a hard rubber sanding block with 80 grit to start and then move to 120 or even 180. Those fillers are difficult to sand and harder than the wood making it very difficult to achieve good results. I do like the use of a backer foam and it is very clever to use the wood screws as anchors like we do with patching concrete, i.e. teco screws. Works good. A multi-tool would make the sanding a little easier. Oh, I love the flower too. RJD

Great tip! I will use that in my future projects👍 Thank you!
100% agree with this tip
This is why I love the comment section! Thank you!
What's an example of clay filler? I don't recall ever seeing that at the hardware store.
I am thrilled! I work so hard myself and then judge myself so hard too! I am a single lady and fix things on my own.. Thanks it look s super!

Do you have a filler you recommend?

I am so glad I helped Wesley☺️ Good luck with your project👍
I think this is perfectly great! Anyone who comes to your home inspecting to see those small flaws, should not be invited again ☺️
😂 thats right!👍

This is the most complete fix that i've seen so far. I will follow these steps for a couple of my doors with similar issues.
It's really interesting to see the view from inside a house when it's snowing. I've never lived anywhere that it snows. 42 years and I've only seen it snow few times and never stick on the ground. So cool.
You did a really good job.
Thank you!!. I have exactly this problem in my kitchen.
Handy tip about the styrofoam. Thanks for that.
You are a very smart & clever woman 👩🏻 GOOT JOP !! 👍🏻
Thank you Jamie🙋🏻♀️❤️
This helps... I was tossing between putty & filler and now thanks to your tutorial filler makes so much sense. Cheers

Yes! Thank you!😊

Great job! going to use this idea to patch the open stringer on my stair case.
I think it’s a really nice start and on the way to fabulous.
You did a great job. I'm glad I found another DIY individual. I just subscribed.
Wow. That looks fabulous. Thank you for showing me how to fill in large gaps!
Thanks now i have ideas how to cover wood gaps 😊
“It looks perfect from distance”
I love it 💜
I know I am kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Carmelo Lennon ehh I would suggest Flixportal. you can find it if you google=) -carter
@Carter Azariah Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) Appreciate it!!
@Carmelo Lennon you are welcome :)
I love how real you are!!
Great help thank you.. I feel that I can tackle my big gaps now. x
Heya, you might find it weird but you probably helped me with figuring out how to make my plywood guitar body look better. haha, Thanks!
nice finish!!!
exactly what i needed!
thank you for telling us the product types to choose from too!
excellent educational video!
It doesn't need to be perfect always. With a gap that big I think it came out great. Thanks for sharing and giving another fellow female home fixer the courage to fill the huge gap in my kitchen!! :)
So glad I was a help Ashley!🥰 Just go for it!!👍😎
Great Job Lady 👍👍👍🔝
Thank you sir!:)
Thank you for the video. I ordered this filler to try it out.
Very good,l have some knowledge to do my filling.
Very nice result! Brilliant idea to fill those gaps.
Many thanks!
You did a great job! A little more sanding and detail and it will be perfect. Personally I would have skipped the shoveling. Lol
You are right I should have skipped the shoveling lol!:)) Thank you for watching the video!
This is exactly what I needed. Had to fix a gap around a door knob and this worked perfectly! Thank you!
Awesome! So glad to hear that😊
Awesome work, Tuba. 👏 👏
Minor tip: when filling, you could use the bricklayers technique of point tucking here to use a little less filler and keep it a bit neater. Less sanding and less mess 👍
I will check that out! Thank you for the tip👍
It may be called tuck pointing... Some other home improvement videos buried deep in the memory somewhere 😅
Looks good. I have a couple of areas that need repair. Thanks.
Nice work and I love your accent.
Good job. When I shovel wet snow for days, I take an Epsom salt bath every night and have NO sore muscles. Cheers.
Thanks your video helped a lot. We had some large cracks to fill and now I have a plan.
Awesome! So glad to help👍
very good !!!
Best video I have seen that kind of fits my needs. Thanks.
So glad to hear that! Thank you!
Wow that was amazing, and easy ❤️
You’ve got a nice way about you. Nice job
Thank you Guy🤗
Thank you!!

Good for bigger gaps for inside crown moulding if I messed up the cut and don't have anymore material
Helluva job
Looks a whole lot better
I like it. 👍😋
Thank you🥰
Wonderful work! Thanks for sharing! Yes definately helps, I have similar work to do like this only larger. 😊

Thank you Riaz! Appreciate the comment🥰
I appreciate your videos Tuba, you provide me with much confidence and I enjoy going to the hardware and researching products online. I love your accent! 🌿💜📝📐📏🔨🔧🖌️🎨👷
Thank you....just what I was looking for a big help. Looks great!
Glad I could help! Good luck with your project!
I'm very excited about using your method anytime soon. Thanks for sharing. For the products list, this is a plus to me. Good job Tuba.
Pretty nice I think
You did a good job.
You are making always useful videos to help us Tuba 🙏 Thx for your effort
It's my pleasure
Nice improvement! I may try that instead of bondo... I love bondo though.
1st time I’ve seen your videos.
Tuba this is exactly what I needed!!! Great job! Liked and subscribed!
Thank you Jeffrey! So glad to hear that☺️
Thank you! I just moved into a trailer that has been getting spiders & need to keep those suckers out. This will help.
Yes! Hopefully!!
I found "Great Stuff" foam is great to fill gaps ~1''. I've tried it with a dry wall and spakle and I'd try with the wood filler as well :)
You have accomplished a great job! Thanks for the advice and wisdom along the way!
good job
Nice work
Thank you Michael😊
I think you did a great job! Thanks!
Thank you too!🥰
Top tip using styrofoam! Thanks for sharing.👍
Looks terrific
This was very helpful. I'm excited about beginning my sanding and woodfiller and sanding again and painting! It's snowing here too, even though it's mid-April. Will winter weather never end?!!?
I know this winter was just crazy!! Good luck with your project! I am glad my video was helpful👍
Looks good! I have alot of windows I need to do this to.
Great work.
Cool. You can use a sharp utility knife/blade to carve and slice sections off rather than sanding. it saves some time, energy and dust.
Great job 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 loved the styrofoam hack too 👊🏽
Thank you!!💖
Thank you for posting!
Thanks. Great concept! Much appreciated!
Very welcome!

You did a great job 👏
It looks great!
well done, so nice and clean, really top, Bravo
Amazing work! You did a great job.
Looks good
Thank you. Good job.
Great work
Thank you so much 😀
The trim was already imperfect with old paint. Although it’s not perfect it blends in with the rest of the trim.
Excellent job!! Thanks.
❤️
Came out great! Thank U for sharing
great work
brilliant work!
