I don't know what I'd do without you Ms. Leah! You make me believe And I'm CONVINCED that I CAN do anything! I'm drywalling a small bathroom closet...can you say TEDIOUS! 🤨🤨 I really didn't wanna touch this thing but I've been stood up by a "family friend" who said he'd help...any way! I've had the extra energy & divine guidance to make it happen! Thank you!
Leah I'm remodeling my 1960's bathroom and ran across your videos on inside and outside corners. Your videos are amazing. I could watch all of your videos. I just love your ability to teach. There is no one better than you. Thank you so very much.
You're welcome, Justin, and thanks! I'm glad you found our channel!
You're a natural teacher. Thank you for your work.
you're welcome, Dan, and thanks!
seejanedrill . You are awesome
I am doing some drywall repair for the first time. Removing wallpaper and preparing the drywall for paint. So, removing the paper and glue, cleaning up the drywall, patching holes, and fixing corners. Your videos are a TREMENDOUS help, thank you so much!!!
Christopher Smith You're very welcome, Christopher!
Thanks for making this! I am currently doing this exact thing and my OCD was driving me crazy on trying to get it 'perfect' on the first coat. This will make my life a little easier now! Keep up helping others, thank you!
+Dan Engblom you're welcome, Dan, glad to be of help!
There a lot of people on You Tube that can take notes on how to do tutorials from this woman!!!Your AWESOME Leah,by far the best i have viewed on You Tube.Thank you for all your help.....
It’s is a awesome tutorial. We are remodeling bathroom and I hate taping and muddling. You have shown me a real easy way to do it. Thank you so much
You are the best! I am renovating a room in my basement and every time i hit a snag and get frustrated to the point of throwing in the towel, I watch one of your vids and it gives me that encouragement needed to press on! Keep up the great work!!!!
Thanks, Scarburrito! Glad to be of help, and good luck with your renovation project!
Leah my dear, YOU ARE AWESOME!! I used your techniques to do inside corners and they came out great!! Now I'm moving on to outside corners. Not scared at all after getting your advice!!! Thank you so much! You are very, VERY talented with what you do! God Bless you and thanks for sharing your expertise!!
you're very welcome, and thank you so much for your comments!
I have to do this exact job later on this week, I am new to plastering, although I understand the principles involved, once again your instructional videos, have cleared up a lot and have demystified a lot of what is involved in plastering. Cheers! all the way from New Zealand.
+gsf67 fantastic...glad to be of help. Good luck with your project!
i am in the process of a full room remodel for my granddaughter's bedroom and have checked out your vids on doing corners...all i really have to say is bless you, bless you...i have watched many vids on mudding because, other than the occasional patch, i have never done it before and i was intimidated by the process, especially the corners...your vids are so clear, calm and precise compared to others i have watched on the subject...you do great work and i am very appreciative...you have saved me loads of worry and unnecessary work...thank you so much for all the help so far and i will certainly be checking into other vids in your series as the work moves ahead...off to mud my corner bead with confidence!
You’re an amazing teacher!! Thank you for making me feel more confident and less apprehensive about my home improvement projects♥️
Bless you girl, I love you. I'm shocked at the negative remarks but you know what, I learned it's usually people who don't have the courage to step up and do what your doing or that cut corners and their work shows it. I'd hire you in a heart beat but don't need to, your teaching that at 54 years old I can learn new things and do it myself! My husband thanks you too!
Thanks, Tina! It's never too late to learn new things!
You showed me exactly what I have been looking for, not one of the other videos show what I just learned from you. I have been searching for 3 day’s and finally came across your video and thank God I did. Thank you so much for giving me hope on finally finishing a much needed edge of a wall.
fantastic, Arlene! I'm glad you found us and that the video was helpful. Welcome to the See Jane Drill community!
Hi there, very good video, very informative. I also think it's great that you answer people's questions in the comments section. That's extra helpful and a great practical use for UA-cam. I just want to point out one small thing found at 2:47 in the video, and it's NOT meant to criticize like many commenters do, just to clarify. Drywall screws are NOT self tapping screws as stated. I just wouldn't want someone to get sent to the store (or something like that) for "4 inch self tappers" and come back with drywall screws, or a similar screw. You can always tell a self tapping screw by the fact that near the point, the threads will turn into vertically opposed "cutting blades". The easiest way for someone who doesn't know who's reading this to spot one would be to just say that the threads don't go all the way to the tip of the screw, but change just before the point to "something else". I can see you're clearly knowledgeable, and probably know the difference, this is more for the viewers.
Dave Carsley Hi Dave, first of all, thank you for your comment. I absolutely understand how the drywall screw vs self-tapping screw thing could be confusing to our viewers, and I appreciate the classy way in which you pointed this out. The thing is, there is a self-tapping drywall screw on the market that doesn't look like other self-tapping screws; it just looks like a drywall screw. The Grabber drywall screws are all self-tapping.
That said, you made a very good point, as we don't want people to just go to the store and ask for a self-tapper, because they do want drywall screws.
Thanks again!
Regards,
Leah
I wanted to thank you for these videos. I have learned a lot watching them and love the positive spirit you bring to them. Thanks!
William Laubernds You're welcome, William! Thanks for writing. :)
Love your videos! Your clear and articulate descriptions include lots of helpful tips. The videographer on this one could've stepped back a foot, but I got the point. Good lighting and the editing is terrific, too. As usual, great work!
+Stephen Dee Thank you, Stephen!
Leah, you are an excellent teacher!! And you have such a talent that you should have your own show on TV!
thanks!
Leah, you're the best home improvement instructional video creator out there! Thanks so much!
you're welcome, Douglas, and thank you!
I'm hoping to begin tackling this project because of your calm confidence! Fingers crossed! Thank you!!
Jaclyn Hamilton you're welcome...you can do this! :)
Hi Leah,
Thanks much for your very clear videos. I am finishing a first-time project, a basement room with basic framing and DW. This comment relates to corner-bead installation. In my first attempt (with DW screws) the bead was not properly aligned with the corner, some DW screw heads and some parts of the bead flange protruded through the mud on one side. I found that the DW screws tend to pull the bead flange to one side or another during installation. I pulled the installation off while still wet. After some thought I decided I could control the bead alignment simply and accurately. The corner bead is 1-1/4" from bead to flange edge on each side. We want the bead to be aligned top to bottom on a diagonal some distance out from the intersecting surfaces of the two drywall sheets (virtual corner). The further out the bead is the more likely the fasteners and flanges will be concealed, but the more mud is required to fill the corner.
To insure alignment I used 4d 1-1/2" nails located 1-1/8" in from the opposing DW surface, four equal spaced from top to bottom of the wall on either side.That 1/8" offset means the bead is displaced outward on the diagonal about 3/16" from the virtual corner, with a gap on either side slightly less than 1/8" (the gap that appears if you put a DW knife against the bead and DW surface, what the mud has to fill). When the corner bead is applied to the corner it stops against the alignment nails and is perfectly aligned and positioned. I used the same nail type to fasten the bead, working up and down from the center alternatively on either side using the holes closest to the flange edge. I was then able to proceed with confidence to mud the corners as you demonstrated and I really like the results. Installing the alignment nails takes only a few minutes, and can save a lot of grief for an inexperienced amateur. The 1/8" was my conservative reaction to the failed attempt. But 1/16" offset might be just fine, with less mud. The main thing is reproducibility compared to a freehand procedure.
Nice work Leah. You have a great style, very easy to listen to.
After several quotes for $13-16, 000 from the pros, we're about to take on drywalling our basement. I have been binge watching your videos... Your voice makes me feel like I can cut out my nightly glass of wine ;) I am still anxious about the project, but so happy I've found your channel!!! You explain everything so well, and in such a detailed way, I loved all of the drywall videos. "You can do this", may be overly generous placed faith in our DIY abilities, haha, but we'll let you know how the basement turns out! Thanks Leah!
this person is such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to drywall wall construction. Saved me literally thousands of dollars by helping me frame, drywall, and mud my non load bearing wall I put up in my house. UA-cam University saving thousands!!
great video! thanks for sharing! I like how you not only "show", but actually tell details of what you're doing & how to actually do what you're showing.
Thanks for your videos. You have helped me to cut down on time doing drywall work. I have used your techniques for corners and have shown others how to do the work more efficiently. You rock! Any suggestions for someone just starting a UA-cam channel? Thanks.
Leah, I am so excited that I have you to help me tackle my first ever drywall project. Thanks for your tips and clear instructions.
Hi Bobby, well I'm glad to be of assistance to you! Thank you for commenting.
thank you for your tutorials...Ttomorow i am starting on mudding and you make it look so easy... I watched your taping, insed corners and outside corners... good to go. I hope i do as good a job...cant wait to get the room finished.
good luck with your project!
Thanks! This was very helpful. Just finished framing and drywalling a second bedroom by myself (my first!) and this was the last piece of the puzzle. You’re videos are very clear and unintimidating for a novice. :)
Bianca Castafiore Way to go on completing your project. You did it! :)
Amazing demo. You have a reassuring tone that makes me feel comfortable and empowered to tackle DIY improvements. Thank you.
+product reed you're welcome, and thanks!
Thank You! Working on this right now and I dread it. Yuck. I hate mudding. But here I go!
+Rebecca Epps hope it worked out!
Just got a new four pc shower stall installed. Got the drywall up and checking in w Leah again to wax-on-wax-off; feel ready to tackle. As always: informative and concise. Hope you are doing well. You are a great resource. thank you.
you're very welcome, Leonard, and best of luck with your project!
Thank you for your series of videos. I had to hang drywall for the first time in a basement bedroom and consulted several of your videos for suggestions. Each were very helpful.
you're welcome, glad you liked them!
Hey thanks, I appreciate your encouragement!
You should show how to wet sand with old. Washcloths
@@patricklenz699 Ive done a couple of wet sand videos. I do like the wash cloth idea
I like to refresh with a video when it has been a while since I have done a DIY task. Your videos are becoming my go too's, keep up the great work!
OMG I love you. You are actually teaching people how to do it. Not just showing that you know how. Thank you so very much. As a non professional I learned enough to do this project. Thanks again. Oh And I subscribed.
you're very welcome, and thanks!
Thanks so much for taking the time to show how to mud a corner. You are a great teacher! My end product looks good.
+George Johnson You're welcome, George. I'm glad you were successful....way to go!
Thank you Lia for that final comment! I was feeling so overwhelmed. You’re awesome.
Thanks for explicitly stating that either nails or drywall screws could be used AND that they do not have to be countersunk. Those were two of my questions that were nagging me when preparing to do this.
+Sherry Hurwitz you're welcome, Sherry, glad it was helpful!
What an EXCELLENT teacher.
thanks :)
It's like watching Bob Ross! ❤ This is super helpful! Rejuvenating my wife's childhood home and things are not always as simple as it seems lol
great explanation and real time examples. I found that the corner bead I bought didn't have the holes so I used finish nails to hold it into position. Thank you.
+animefreak3939 you're welcome, glad it worked out!
Dear Leah, I want to share with you a trick that I learned from a Brazilian plaster guy to cover those corners so the tiny holes from the corner bits don't show after the first coat. Place drywall tape one eight before the corner and that it will give you a nicer first coat. I just did a room like so and man, I loved it.
Again great video. I have learned a lot from your videos and you have helped me to slow down and look at my preparation and the outcome of my projects keeps getting better. Thanks for all the great shows.
:)
You have helped me remodel my entire basement basically by myself. If ever we meet, your coffee is on me. Thank you so much!
I watched five different videos on how to do this - but your video finally explained it in a DIY fashion that makes sense to me. You should be teaching this to students. Thank you!
I do have a question: Can I get a corner bead that has a wider flange? I replaced a window and there is a 1" gap where the old plaster was cut and I need to fill that in somehow. It's uneven and narrow enough that I'm not sure drywall sections would fit. An extra wide corner bead would solve it.
Thanks again,
Dale
+Frazzled Hi Dale, I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you saying that once you trimmed out the window, a gap remained between the window casing and the wall?
All of your videos are phenomenal - I've learned a ton by watching you. Thanks for taking the time to do these and explaining all the little details. You rock!
Great video. i really like your realistic approach to what some make into black magic. as a mechanic playing carpenter after work i appreciate the little tips and once again your real world approach. keep up the good work
Klosnoski, Thanks for the comment it's appreciated!
Couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get a clean edge, must've done 6 coats. Don't know why it took so long for me to figure it out, once I watched this it finally clicked: leave the overspill on the corner edge after the top coat and just sand lightly when dry till it's smooth. I was scraping all the mud off the corner to clean it up wet every time, and so not getting good coverage and creating more lines. Thanks Leah!
Thank you so much for these videos! Your clear instruction and great empowering attitude is wonderful! I need to start a wall at an outside corner, but have encountered the following- and am wondering what your take on this would be: "Avoid tapered edges on outside corners. If you hang a sheet of drywall with the tapered edge along an outside corner, it will be hard to install the corner bead accurately. The corner of the bead will lie too low, making it difficult to cover with joint compound. The solution is to place cut edges along an outside corner (right way)."
+Cliff Egel Hello Cliff, Yes, non-tapered edges on outside and inside corners.
Thank you Leah!! Working on my first drywall project at home and your video helped a lot!
This is the most helpful video I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks!
You always give me confidence. Thank you Leah.
Scott You're welcome, Scott! I'm glad.:)
Leah, you are pretty freaking awesome. I watched this video as a refresher cause it been a while, and to provide concise step by step instructions. Keep it up!
thanks, Carlos!
Absolutely awesome video very clear in explaining corner bead process. thank you
very awesome video!!! I followed your instruction and I fixed my wall!!! my Dad would have been proud!!!!
Thank you very much 👍💓💓💓
you did it, Lisa, that is fabulous! I'm sure your Dad would have been proud...congrats on doing it it!
Usually I find longer tutorials boring with lots of wasteful talking but this was totally perfect. Thank you so much!
you're very welcome, glad it was helpful!
Most underrated channel on UA-cam
I very much appreciate your positive attitude and encouragement. These are really great lessons. Thanks!
John McConnell You're welcome John, I'm glad you like our work! :)
Leah, you are totally awesome! Thank you so much for your excellent videos!
She really knows how to teach. Thank you.
Very helpful, thorough, well paced presentation. But what if you have a corner that is seriously dinged
(rounded, eroded) with no beading? Would it be a good idea to apply a heavy layer of mud to the corner
and mush the bead into it? Or will the beading alone provide enough structure? (This pertains to the edges
of a water heater “cabinet” in the garage so a super fine finish is not required.)
+lovefeist you definitely want to install the beading. As for the method, it depends upon what kind of corner bead you purchase. There is a type of corner bead that you attach first and then mud over it. And then there is the type of bead that has drywall tape already attached to it. With that type you would mud it into place. I would select whichever is easiest for you.
Great video!!! Building a tattoo shop and this video is gonna come in very handy. Love how detailed you are.
Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for the comment!
Leah, I love your videos. very clear & easy to follow. thanks for sharing.
you're welcome, Victor, and thanks!
Hi Leah. Have you seen or used the newer type of corner beads that have smooth metal corners with paper that extends about a half inch. They are about the same dimensions as the ones used in this video, but don’t require screws or nails to install. They are attached using a base coat of mud. I’ve used them a few times and prefer them to the ones used in your video. I’d be interested to hear your take. Blessings. Steve Turner
I love your videos. You're helping me through my home renovation!
+txcrewrower that's great! :)
Darn Jane,,,those tin snips are 20+ yrs old😃😂😃. Thx for your help
Thank you. I'm so much less intimidated now. I like your presentation. direct and to the point without a bunch of needless chatter. I can do this.
Cameon Jackman You're welcome, Cameon. And yes, you can!
Great videos. I was looking for a simple tutorials to make sure I did it right and this was just that. Clear, concise and well done. Thanks for posting!
you're welcome, Rick, and thanks for your comments!
I think you have a very good demeanor and voice for education.. your voice seems to via your tone say. ...'you can do it'...
Jane. Thank you ,your vids have helped .just finished a garage conversion, Looks great.cheers.! M,England
Hi Mark, I would love to see pics if you feel like sending them! My email address is in the video description
Thanks for the videos, I'm finally having to do drywall myself instead of being able to have a friend do it and your videos have been most informative.
Thx for all the great videos you make to help and encourage others
My pleasure
First diy for dry walling. Thanks for the info because when it came to the corners I had no idea.
Hello Christa, Glad you found us. Thanks for your comment and good luck with that drywall!
Thanks Leah. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Leah, I’m most of the way through hanging drywall in my finished basement. Almost to the mudding/ taping phase. Any chance you could either reply here, or make a quick video about the different types of corner bead and their advantages/disadvantages?
Thanks for the video -- you are so good at teaching. I learned quite a lot.
Thank you, you are awesome! Very easy to follow..no extra fluff..and excellent videography as well.
thanks, Deborah!
thanks, Deborah!
thanks, Deborah!
and my camera person thanks you also!
I love you! Thank you for this. I have been told to make sure to let the coats dry thoroughly between coats. How long? is it because it will crack when it dries?
Thank you so much for this video! I'm trying to get my drywall done, but that outer corner is giving me trouble. I'm going to try your technique!
Really helpful video! I'm just about to have my first shot at drywall, including a roof-window recess that needs sharp outside corners.
+Howard Jones Great, good luck with your project!
Leah, have you every used vinyl corner bead? I'm doing that for an office I am building in our basement. Also, should there be mid BEHIND the corner bead? Another video says to use a spray adhesive, would you approve?
Leah, I watch your videos & really enjoy it when you say:
"You can do this."
---
I'm 41 & since I was 9 years old I wanted to help my single mom by hanging a painting she wanted to hang, but she would say to me:
"You can't do it. You are not a carpenter. You will ruin the house. You will ruin your hands."
---
So now I don't talk to her.
I'm on my bed all day for 7 years while the narcissist wife works.
---
When our 9 year old son comes home I get him to cook & to do some carpentry with me so that he will be a useful adult. We have to do everything before his mom gets home at 7pm.
My wife has said: "I don't want our son to be a carpenter. I don't want him to hurt his hands."
---
Your videos have opened up a beautiful world for my son & for me.
Thank you for your encouragement.
Thanks, Daniel. I'm glad to be an encouragement to you (and your son!) As a woman who spent many years working on construction sites, I understand what it is like to face obstacles to pursuing your dreams. Keep the faith...you can do it! :)
I second what Rick Turner said, Yours was the first video I came across and I thought it was great!
thanks, Don!
Thanks for this most timely teaching video, Leah, and making it look so easy! What a great service you are providing to DIY'ers!! I have a doorway (no door) where removing wallpaper tore off much of the thin layer of original mud over the metal bead flat strips. (I removed all of the old mud on the metal all around the doorday, and will mud over it again with 90-min Easy Sand setting compound, my first time using this type of mud. Do you let each coat DRY completely before doing the next coat with setting compound, like you have to do with premixed regular mud? Can I do the 2nd AND/OR 3rd coat with regular mud? (I want to do some skim coating to even out the wall to the sides of the doorway.) Thanks for your sharing your expertise!!
JoyfulKnitter Hello JoyfulKnitter, Sorry about my delayed response. Sometimes it takes me a little time to address everyone's questions. Okay, so about that corner bead of yours, you do have to allow the Easy Sand to set (firm to the touch) first prior to adding additional coats, but it doesn't have to be completely dry. As far as doing the 2nd and 3rd coats with regular mud, yes, you absolutely can.
What is your opinion on different styles of corner bead? Steel, paper covered and vinyl?
Hi, Leah, thank you once again for your GREAT videos! I was wondering...in a case like this where I would be taping and bedding joints, as well as the corner bead, should I go ahead and do the joints before the corners, or vice-versa?
Hi Joe, you should do the joints (flats) before the corners
Best how to video I have seen to date , great stuff seejanedrill Thanks
you're welcome, Martin, and thanks!
Leah, just found your videos and they are great! Thanks!
+Ron Coker (wxman66) you're welcome, Ron!
retired postal worker, I want to start a small painting business, I have my second job and I need to mud, which size knife should I buy , I have 4,6 thanks for excellent video, learn a lot
My suggestion is purchase a variety if sizes.....4 inch and an 6 inch is a great start. You can always add tools as your business expands.....good luck.
Thanks Leah for your great videos about drywall! I could not have done my first drywall job without you! Everything I did right was because of your great videos! Everything I did wrong was because of my inexperience. :P
you're welcome, Matthew! glad to help
thank you so much. I love your videos. you're inspiring and kind hearted. you have helped,me so much already.
+Aubra Wilson you're welcome, Aubra!
This was the video I've been looking for. So much info and you really explained the steps great. Thank's for the help & definitely subscribing!
you're welcome, Craig, and thanks!
Thank you for this Leah! It was informative, fun to watch and encouraging.
+Mario E Hdez you're very welcome, Mario!
Thanks for the video. The builder who built my house had the drywall from ceiling to floor as a standard. Unmudded and unfinished. One of the corners is not flush leaving a large space to finish the corner. How can that be finished off?Thanks
Hi Marlin, the corner bead will hide the gap, as well as most other imperfections.
Should I use the tapered edge of the drywall as a vertical edge to apply the corner bead over?
Hi Leah, I'm doing a corner in my bathroom. I removed the drywall and corner bead on the shower stall wall that I'm prepping for tile. I'm going to hang Kerd-board on the shower stall wall. The perpendicular wall still has the drywall, which is in good shape. Should I just cover the one wall with mud at the corner? I don't know if I could put a corner bead and mud on the Kerdi-Board and still keep the wall that I'm tiling plum and level. Thanks, as always :)
brotherjoeradosti Hi Joe, I understand your question, however, this is one of those situations where I really need to see it to give you a solid answer. I will inbox you my email address.
Wonderful, thanks Leah :)
seejanedrill I am going to have the same situation. Could I get a copy of your answer, I would be interested in your response.
***** Here's the response that I received via Schluter/Kerdi:
I verified our best practice recommendations in regards to your question with our Technical Support team.The way we would recommend doing this is to use the KERDI-BAND over the seam between the KERDI-BOARD and the drywall. The KERDI-BAND over the drywall can then be covered with joint compound before priming and painting. Thanks for checking out our UA-cam channel! :)
It sounds like they pretty much covered everything the only thing I would have to add to that is wherever you are laying the tile over the joint compound to make sure those areas are primed with a latex primer first. Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with!
Best Regards,
Kayla Wallenhorst
Your situation may not be exactly the same as mine. I would suggest you call them with the details of your project (800) 472-4588.
I appreciate YOUR encouragement....ru kidding...I can learn how to do my whole bathroom, just by watching you and a little practice. Now I have outside corners licked!
Cheers.
Great video again! Really helped with the inside and outside corners!
+Subsonic thanks, I'm glad it worked out!
Hi Leah, Another great video!! So glad I found you. I have a question - I'm taking out a wood-trimmed interior pass-through window and just want it drywalled. Would you use corner bead along the edges of the window? It won't probably take much abuse, but it seems like an easy way to make a nice 90 degree corner. I'd love to know your thoughts.
yes. that will define your corners.
