Fantastic having Aussie fellas explain stuff without going on and on and on. Well done and thanks.
People like you make it possible for people like me to own a house. Thank you for your time
Glad I could help👍👍👍
Thank you for this video. It's easy to understand for all of us who have shied away from doing this kind of deep cosmetic repair. Our home is over 70 years old. Someone added in ceiling hi-fi speakers in the 1970s. The equipment was removed before we moved in 1989, but the speaker covers remained. Eventually, they both fell. Around the same time a hole appeared by the front door. Thanks to your video I've been able to get up there and do something about the holes. None are due to water damage, thank goodness. I will say that, being so old, there are additional issues that I'm dealing with including multiple previous fixes using plaster instead of joint compound with texture. This has left a super thick "shell" around the small hole that is almost impossible to cut. As I don't have the power tools, I've done it using a drywall saw and box cutter which is slow but effective. On top of that, the attic is filled with an insulation that was put up there in 1948! This stuff has completely collapsed and is breaking into a micro dust that is disgustingly dirty. The 1948 1/2 inch drywall is a tad thicker than the current 1/2 inch drywall, but I'll go slowly and layer in the compound to bring it out and level. Your video has given me the confidence to persevere and the holes are ready to be finished off. Even without the joint compound, they look much better and I can tell that my repairs will last for a very long time... maybe even decades! YOU ROCK!!
I was reluctant to have the Kaiser Wilhelm Spiked Helmet Society around for the pogo dancing championships, but after seeing this, the boys are all welcome.
This comment has gone too long without being noticed.
👌🏼😂😂😂😂
The boys should be so lucky, lucky lucky lucky, the boys should be so lucky in love.
Remember to get the leak fixed first, folks.
Great video. You blow my mind with new knowledge every time.
This really helped my anxiety about a hole I accidently made in the floor in the attic / ceiling of closet. Thanks for the excellent how to video.
I've been putting this off for over a month thinking it's a more complex job than it obviously is...cheers dude.
More jobs to do round this old house aswell, may even (will defo) use more of your vids and advice.
You explained it so well. I was able to repair a small water damage on my ceiling. Thanks!!
This is the best video that I have seen for these types of repairs - it has helped me alot - Thanks!!
Very well done. In USA people don't want to work because most people are on public aid and get more money from government that work for someone. I think I can fix my wall by myself now and all the credit goes to you. Thanks again
Thank you for detailed, step by step, explanation. Helps a lot.
A great, no nonsense repair tutorial. Perfect for my water damage hole in my Ceiling!
Why am I watching this, I don't even have a hole in my ceiling
maybe the same reason I´ve watching all this videos that guy is really hot,love his face and perfect body at the same time learning about this stuff
one day you will have one...
I got a hole in my ceiling that needs to be patched due to plumbing work. This was super helpful and borderline /r/mildlysatisfying.
Cheers!
Don't do it mate..
I have a hole in my pocket where all my money is falling out.
I do like the way you do your work as well as your enthusiasm for doing a good job. Top marks to you.
Best video! YOUu made it very easy to understand and I feel more confident I can do this now
Excellent video - Thanks so much.
We have 2 holes in the ceiling for months! There is no one available to help. Thank you for a great video
Thanks, very informative and detailed. You’re a legend 👍
Bill is da man! What a voice! 🙂
Loved it Billy! Just patched 2 ceiling holes with your instructions.
You make it easy!
You’re welcome 👍👍👍
Very nice job. Thank you for showing us the proper way to do the ceiling repair!
Wish me luck! I’m doing this tomorrow morning! Thanks for this!
👍
very straight forward instructions thanks!
Great video. I know you're concerned that people will correct you on what you called drywall. May I suggest you just call it what you like to call it in the beginning and let people know that's what you're going to call it. If they don't like it, too bad. If they're making a big deal over what you call drywall, they have a bigger problem than a hole in their ceiling. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for this DIY tutorial. I’d add that people should be very careful cutting through the ceiling to not accidentally go through any hidden cables or pipes up there.
And wear safty glasses!!

Great video
I just subscribed after watching how to repair my ceiling! Thank you so much! It’s quite easy and saved me $500 having someone come in to repair it. I’m handy. I can totally do this myself with your video!
You’re very welcome 👍
hi Bill from sunny essex in UK! thank you so much for this brilliant and easy to follow video - I am a 62 year old woman with no DIY skills whatsoever lolI but watched it yesterday and within the morning had successfully and professionally patched a hole cut in the ceiling to repair a shower leak. tremendous feeling of accomplishment and family impressed! now feeling empowered to tackle skimming over its ugly 1970s finish, hope you have a video for that! thanks again you are a legend
You’re welcome 👍
Thanks..looks easy...something I can do....I had no idea..
Awesome video mate!
Great job Bill, very thorough - it may be helpful to amateurs to say what product you use, maybe alternative brands? like the drywall,plasterboard,gyprock mantra :)
Great video. Thanks!!
Very informative video ... cheers m8
👍
Very useful. Thank you.
You're such a good explainer.
You'd make a top lecturer at TAFE.
no no not TAFE.

@@mercamg9312 since when does university teach practical knowledge that is useful
Well done, mate. I'm going to give it a go. If it doesn't work I'll send you a ticket to come to NZ and do it properly for me.
Ticket to NZ, not Poland? lol
Go you halfsies, can do with him 😂

Good on ya mate!

Excellent informative video!
Thank you so much 👍

@@billshowto ：Hi ！Allow each coat to dry, about how long do you need to wait to apply the next coat ?
Thanks🙏
awesome job Bill.
Only thing I'd add, is to use a P2 dust mask - or you'll be sneezing and coughing the crap out of your system for days :)
Agreed 👍
Yes, for goodness sakes, if you make an instructional video, fully show 'SAFETY FIRST' because it tells everyone "the dust is dangerous, protect yourself"
If you work with your hands a lot, it is much cheaper to buy a box of dust masks than to come down with an expensive respiratory illness.
Different people have different vulnerability/sensitivity.
My rule is this: *_"See dust, stop working immediately, put on the dust mask"_*
You can never go overboard when protecting your health.
Great video!
.
Great video Bill, clear and to the point. Btw, just call it plasterboard, the Americans will figure it out and you are promoting Aussie culture as a bonus. Thanks heaps.
Lol 👍👍👍
I'm American and plasterboard was the first tf thing I ever used. We have that here you know. Plaster board and Drywall are different products altogether but do get lumped in all together as "sheetrock". Just different applications.
Bill I love your tutorials!, as a novice DIYer I would love to know more about the products you use personally. For example your first 'rapid set' compound was different to the second and third compounds you used, looking on various hardware suppliers websites at say the gyprock range of product there appears to be multiple compounds that can be used to achieve the same results however I myself get myself caught up and consumed with which one is better and why.
Good video, many thanks
Great video!
Thank you, Bill. An excellent instructional video. As others have noted, please wear a mask - we need you healthy, so you can continue to make even more great videos. 😃
And be careful not to cut thru live wires in ceiling.
Regarding wetting the tape; my Dad (now retired) was a drywall taper for almost 50 years, he sometimes used the tape dry exactly as you did it, but when he was doing joints, he would use wet tape, but not like the guy in that video who seems to just soak the tape in water in a bucket, my dad had a box that was filled a wet cement mixture, on the back of the box was a place to hang the roll of tape, the tape was then fed through the box in a little slit, and pulled out of the other side of the box from another slit, and when it came out the other side it was soaked in wet cement and slapped onto the joints, then cleaned with the trowel. My Dad made this box, so did most of the other tapers.
👌👌☘☘☘☘I think that the depth and technology of the job is very good, I think it is the fruit of effort and passion, I am proud, I respect you, I hope you will succeed deeply in your heart👍👍🧹👍👍👍👍👍👍
Should use eye goggles for safety as debris flies easily into eyes.. Do Australian ceilings have batten under main joists?
Please provide the list of products, tools etc. how long to wait for drying the joint compound? Thanks.
Yeah he should be using affiliate links
Thanks! Could I replace the screws by any adhesive
Very informative and a job well done, Definitely subscribing.
Wery nise wideo mi frend 👍
Have to say from all the demonstration videos i enjoy yours the most, you explain clearly and your energy portrays a good positive energy and confidence which is very motivational. Keep making the video and great job!
You’re welcome 👍
Great, informative video!!
About how long would you say the entire project took? Start to finish.
18Mins and 52 Seconds mate.
@@ssibenchley3232 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really appreciate the video. I got a leaky room and have to cut out the patch with a stain.
That being said tho, any tips on how to deal with leaks?
Thanks bro..
wicked video! subs up!!
Nice one bro, but before you'd fix that?; What did you apply to your roof so that the leak will not fall again there...
I'm going to try this even though I'll probs stuff it up. Currently the hole has tape over it 🤦🏻♀️
Omg we had a leak on the roof from the pool hose thingy. Same problem as this. You Bill make it look so easy. What if I just put a mesh patch over the hole? Then fill? At the moment i put sticky tape over the hole to stop Huntsman Spider's getting in. Help! Thank you to any one that can offer advice. Kindest thoughts to you and your families and Furbabies from Victoria 🥺
I wouldn’t recommend a mesh patch as they usually sit proud and are difficult to blend in particularly on the ceiling 👍
@@billshowto Bill would just putting the tape you use and cover with filler work? Sorry for being a nuisance, but I'm terrified of Huntsman Spider's and not able to do the cut out you did. Thank you so much.
Depends on how big the hole is? If it’s smaller than a 20 cent piece you could use cornice cement with some fibafuse mesh tape. Not very easy to work with being in a ceiling 👍
@@billshowto Thank you Bill. Appreciate your reply. Take care. Kindest thoughts to you and your family and Furbabies. Great Advice and Channel.
really helpful,thanks.
Great video, thanks. Now I can fix my gyprock and my plasterboard and my dry wall too.
Its very easy ..mix gypsum powder and apply this area, long lasting strongly.. . Dont need to cut and screw it again.
Bravissimo, Bill! You make what feels to amateurs like me like hugely complex jobs, very practical and achievable jobs that make me feel more confident about starting and getting the jobs done! Thanks from Warrnambool, Victoria.
You’re very welcome 👍
AWESOME JOB! Thank you for explaining the tape and drywall, I always have issues with that! I liked and subscribed to your channel.
new subscrber dude
yeah i do the same
Hello from the UK - that was a brilliant video. Straight to the point, very clear to see what you're doing and good explanations too. Great job
what did u used to fill this hole , i think you used ce·ment
Totally enjoyed watching you work mate "gyprock" HaHa! well done :)
Thank you for this video!I have a soft spot in my ceiling in my living room.I have been wanting that area fixed since I bought my house.After watching your video I think me and my husband can do this on our own.Is there anyway that you can list all the products and supplies so that we know exactly what to get?
Did anyone notice that his first measurement at 3:15 of the video was 260 and 170 . Then at 3:50 of the video his assessment was 270 and 160.
Thanks Bill. Just got a quote for exactly the same thing. $270. I think I will give it a go myself after watching your tutorial.
Bloody awesome mate, excellent work, appreciated the detailed illustration of all of the steps required for this job, and great to finally hear an Aussie accent on one of these videos.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Holy cow
Lol you’re welcome 👍
Brilliant - I'm inspired to start the job. Now, how do I adapt this method to deal with the Artex stippled effect on the rest of the ceiling?
Really good tute. Is that an aussie accent??
It is 👍👍👍
I tried this method, but my cat got in the ceiling and I didn't notice, been wondering why my ceiling was meowing for the last 3 days. How to get cat out? Can you make a video?
Put a cat flap in your ceiling seems the logical answer.
just wear ear plugs for a few days
Where can u get scrap pieces of board?

Very helpful for my holes in ceiling I’m going to tackle
Don't overlap the tapes...important tip learned.
I assume this would be the same process for repair a hole in a plaster wall?
Onya Bill.
