This movie came out in 1963 but has the feel of the early 1950s with the music, narration, and black and white. I guess the production company just never updated their style.
You probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Canaan Brixton I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Thank goodness for drywall! Don’t listen to all the dinosaurs who whine about the demise of lathe and plaster. Try working with the stuff! It’s horrible! And I guarantee none of you plaster lovers want to actually pay a tradesman his worth when working with plaster.
They also implied that outside corners don't get a bead. only for extra strength situations. Gotta say, the taping was mediocre back then. He is using a 10" to comb down the 1st coat, with only polish coats after that probably.
Everyone in the comments is against gypsym, but have any of you actually gone into a house and had to try and repair/ remove lath and plaster? Doubt it. Once lath and plaster starts to crack and fail there is little that can be done to save it.
I helped replace some hundred-year-old stuff in a few rooms in a hundred year old mansion belonging to the Catholic diocese. It was all old school stuff with chicken wire and genuine asbestos insulation on the pipes in the ceiling. We put it all back as original with cement stucco,and modern lathe .Spare no expense is their motto , hence the pair of sib zero fridges and 6 burner stoves .. What I found curious was the doors to the basement and one bedroom had the locks on the outside.
Its still fireproof, it just doesn't need the selling point anymore. It has become the industry standard, nearly completely eliminating the entire trade of plastering.
Worst part Dino...old time plasterers had the ability to take on drywall. They turned it down because they thought it would never last. Which really is ridicoulous because they were plastering over rock lathe in the 50s! Plasterers could be as big as the carpenters are today. There wouldn't be a delegation of plasterers and tapers. It would be one trade...plasterers doing all the work.
It's not the same thing. Once you involve a ruler or power tools, you are in a different trade. Finishers are great, and they flourished with stucco and popcorn for years after the lost the walls.
IMO, the biggest reason taping became predominant was lack of unions. Plasterers were almost all union and required union rates and really also requires a multi man crew. Sheetrock on the other hand doesn't, you could pay 1-2 guys cash below union rate. To a very small extent tapers joined painter unions, but the plaster unions wouldn't let them in for fear of being obsolete and that tapers were already undercutting them. Weirdly seemingly in the UK tapers and plasterers are in the same union/trade school kinda setup there, though it's called drylining there. But plaster over drywall is still predominant for residential work, but bigger commercial style projects are seemingly joint taping more often there, with spray on skim coats knifed down with Speedskim style tools.
Amazing to me not a solitary mention of the (1) ingredient utilized/incorporated into the gypsum products for fire resistance AND its engineered strengthening properties in a plethora of other construction materials - asbestos. It's fine in an undisturbed state, although the moment it's disturbed, damaged, broken, drilled or sanded it becomes airborne for an inordinate amount of time. The pervasiveness of its use in construction materials, commercially and residentially manufactured way before the mid/late 1970's, was very extensive before the government finally stepped in and outlawed its uses. Although, even then the manufactured stock-piled products were still permitted to be exhausted - sold for use, to the construction industry for years afterwards. All those homes from that era being busted up & replaced w/newly constructed homes today and the ongoing never ending remodeling in residential construction I'm sure hasn't eased health issues we are currently faced with today... Suppose it's all a non-issue now days, unless you've lost someone to mesothelioma or some form of a cancer. I think much goes unheeded/unobserved in the current remodeling industry related to exposure, w/little - if any in some cases, remediation.
I think switching to the joint taping and sanding method vs plaster is the main problem. With plaster at least nobody was sanding stuff and inhaling all the dust, regardless of the contents. It's why lung cancer rates are higher now with less smoking.
@@GilBatesLovesyou What about the guys mixing the dry ingredients in plaster? Good finishers now don’t need to sand. And if they do, it’s minimal with proper equipment. Next to zero exposure of dust.
My home is a Sears catalog home, built in the 1920’s. All oak and plaster. Pretty interesting video!

1953
Thank you, Dallas Jones Productions (1963)
I was so stupid to think I wanted to live in a world without gypsum.
That's right, Jimmy. You were.

@Canaan Brixton It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Elian Chandler no problem =)
You need a 2024 edition of this type of video.
Diamond Veneer Plaster and blueboard meld ease of installation with unsurpassed wall strength and beauty
wow i was unaware drywall aka sheet rock is a lot like clay in some ways. this commercial is very informative.

So true!! Love from India 🇮🇳
@@foxbuilds8136 are you fear of Pakistan to destroy India?!
Wow, had no idea that the bazooka was invented way back then, thought it was a newer invention. 1963!
The bazooka is a German rocket launcher used in WW2. It's German name is Panzerschreck.

@@yaosio its also one of the tools they used to finish the drywall
Yeah that floored me, i didn't expect to see that.
Очень интересно, но я одного не понимаю - почему листы горизонтально крепят а не вертикально?
Less joints.
Helps you see the studs instead of hiding them.

@@engineerinhickorystripehat Couldn't have those little guys escaping now could we?
🙋♀️ I'm removing lathe and plaster from my house and it SUCKS. It's heavy and f*ck CHICKEN WIRE.
drywall screws in 1963?? Thought they were newer
They had all the tools,
This stuff destroyed the plastering industry. Somehow carpenters put it up and painters do the taping.
When I build a home I want my interior walls made from traditional plaster, not chalk and paper sandwich boards.
Is your last name really pussy ?
Tom
No, not pussy. It’s Pusey. Pronounced pew-z, pew as in church pew, and then z.
Connor Pusey lol I like how you explained the pronunciation
Dani The man
Felt it necessary lol
I wonder whatever happened to the fireproof aspect of it. They never mention that anymore
Might lack asbestos now ?
@@tytymandingo hmm.. they didn't mention having asbestos in this sheetrock
Its still fireproof, it just doesn't need the selling point anymore. It has become the industry standard, nearly completely eliminating the entire trade of plastering.
Shoutout to all my solo finishers!!!

MCMLXIII looks like 1963 to me
Plaster is so weak, brasilian concrete walls are the strongest in the word. 3/4" of concret covering the brics both sides, bullet proof
Back in the 80's or 90's, the previous owner of my house used plaster to seal leaky parts of the walls in the basement and it's been such a hassle.
All homes should be made of concrete
hansomer is not a word what the narrator should have said was more hansom.
Should we call them?

This wasn't shaping the future, it was planning the demise of it.
