I did drywall for 20 years and have been out of the trade for 12. I still enjoy watching people suffer. Thanks for your videos!
❤
enjoy watching people suffer?
I’m getting some Scott Brown Carpentry vibes. Love it!
Spot on
Same here. Other side of the world
Smoko time...tbh I go to SBC for tool stuff and usually decks and VC for drywall.aybe convince SBC to wear white painters one day.
Loving the more frequent uploads, Ben. I really appreciate the information but also your optimism. Sometimes when a home project is feeling overwhelming I will watch your videos and try to take on some of your work ethic. It’s motivating and inspiring! 👍🏼😃👍🏼
Been a restoration drywaller for years in Alberta. Your videos are amazing and instructional. You explain everything in detail and why you do it. I've already learned a few tips from you. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you for the great work you did, Ben; it’s so wonderful to finally have smooth walls and ceiling! We just started painting everything and still have lots of work ahead of us. For those who were wondering why we didn’t just scrape the ceiling, it had been painted sometime in the past... too bad.
In my old house, I had spiky textured ceilings so bad, I needed a helmet to change a lightbulb!! Holy stalagmites Batman!!!
Thanks for all the help and good advice I'm an electrician 25 years in industrial electrical and never hung drywall or any mudding, but with your help I was able to do all of my up stairs drywall! Thanks, Mike from N.C.
I’m so happy Ben. This house looks like the condition my Cottage is in. I’m almost done with the sheet rock repairs. I’ve been watching you to learn how to sparkle correctly. Perfect timing for this series. Thank you 🙏.
pretty excited for this series. A lot of this applies to my current remodel.
🤯 the tape measure trick! the tape measure trick! I'm going to use that right now! Oh! And the "tack it to the frame and cut it, trick"! So much just happened in that video, and it's helpful! My wife is gonna kill me is if the basement doesn't look half decent... 😂
Good luck
there is nothing you cannot "adjust" with a hammer, flat blade screwdriver (in lieu of a chisel/scraper) and a stanley knife
Thanks for teaching me so much! I am an Electrician-Tile Setter- Etc.. Always learning- And after watching nearly all of your videos and practicing in real life-I have improved immensely- And now I actually know what a level five finish is
Can't wait for the sequel(s). Your videos are super informative and easy to follow! A great assist to my home remodel. 🙏
Im excited to see this transformation! You got this, Ben!!
Brown textured walls. I cannot put into words how badly I shuddered just now. 🤣
Just found your channel looking for information on how to remove texture from the walls of my 1952 ranch home in Seattle. Loved your humor, and fantastic tips throughout this video - thanks for your help!
Getting a like for "Even Rocky had a montage"
THANK YOU!!! This is a job I am dreading. I know you will sort it out for all of us!
I have exactly this ceiling texture in my place originally built in around 1890. It looks like sand mixed with paint! I tried to pay a dude to do one room, he said he was a plasterer but I ended up boarding over it. Still have 3 rooms to do so I'll try to follow your advice this time! Thanks for all the tips by the way, I still hate drywall but you make it easier!
Looking forward to the next segment. The prep is a lot of work...great job Ben!
Looking forward to this project, I am looking to do something like this at the home myself. Covering textured walls and thinking about doing the ceiling as well. Looking forward to the next few videos.
30 years ago: "not going to tape behind the crown molding to piss off the VC in 2021"
I enjoy watching your work. Your sense of humour is wonderful. I too find that I function much better not eating while I work; just coffee or water 👍. Keep up the great work!
It never ceases to amaze me what you can find when you peel back the layers.
you can tell a lot about the age of a house when you peel off the onion skin layers. Some vile decor choices too, which were obviously the height of fashion at the time.
As an electrician in BC, you're the most responsible drywall contractors I've ever seen
You make everything look so easy!
This is excellent. My 1979 townhouse has at least 3 of the 10 problems you showed in this place. I'll be especially curious about repairing the cracking ceiling texture.
I appreciate all of your detailed videos!
You do great work! 👏 Love watching!
I love those 80's montages where the main character went from raw recruit to elite ninja in a minute and thirty seconds.
2nd of your vids I've watched. I'm a tinsmith(roofs), but I do a lot of paint and plaster work in the winter. I was taught by an old timer. I see many of his tricks in your work. I relate to your woodwork. It's like repairing a roof deck, no one will ever see it. It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to work. I'm impressed with your skills and your work habits. Most construction is just measure, cut, and fasten. But there are some things that can't be taught. How to feel the heat while soldering different metals, and how to use a finishing trowel. They're are "touch" skills, like pulling a straight line with a paint brush. You either "feel" it, or you don't. Thanks.
Wouldn’t it just be easier to rip it all out and redo the drywall? This is what I did in my downstairs area. The walls and ceiling were textured so I ripped it all out and had a crew come in and resheetrock it in an hour. I taped it up and had the whole thing done and painted in 3 days.
Interesting job. Thanks for bringing it to us.
This is soo similar to texture mess I'm dealing with new home too, this video was cathartic to watch him fix things so fast (with the help of editing, of course)
This video has it all: dope intro-a look around the neighborhood-a montage-and some hawk and trowel work haha
Love it bro! Keep it up
Dude thank you so much for the many, consistent vid you post. Also like the new stuff you're using in your vids i.e. the rainy drive to the site and the tunes
Very nice
Oh....this is perfect! Can't wait for the following videos! Thanks
Yes, we get a journey with this project, i'll be watching.
Keep videos of this job coming. This will be fun to watch.
Looks like fun Ben! 😅
Hey! A guy I spend a lot of time watching on UA-cam complimenting another guy a watch a lot on UA-cam.
Thanks Paul. It was grind. Now I just need to get the videos up. Finished it about a week ago.
Hey Paul. So cool to see you here on VC's youtube channel rendering praise. What a good guy. Just watched your recent video on skimming that water damage on textured ceiling and I decided to start skimming my walls with All-purpose now cause I noticed I was getting some dings on wall by just placing a ladder on it a few days after priming. VC, Jeff's Home Renovision and you, are my go to guys. We really do appreciate all of you!
Love watching you work bud killin it
Looking forward to future videos on this job, nice video as always!
I've been doing way more reno jobs like this lately then new construction jobs. Been good for the guy I've been training the last yr as it's helped his hand work improve nicely. On the new construction stuff we lean way more heavily on our auto tools so not near as much hand work
You make it look like a dream job; nightmare for me. Looking forward to the rest of this job site series, thanks for sharing.
Honestly Ben, I'd be gutting the drywall and re-boarding. You're a braver man than I. Keep up the videos dude!
I think I’m going to be watching a lot of your videos over the next couple weeks. I have some big drywall jobs coming up on my house!
Yowza.... That one is a doozy. Lol. Without going into my resume too much, I’ll just say I’ve been a drywall remodeling contractor since 85’. It’s all fixable but jeez sometimes it better to demo (someone else) for a day and start with fresh sheets but I know there are always variable in play. Anyways greetings from Anacortes, Wa.. just south of the border. Fun to see what other pros do since we don’t run into one another in the field.
LOL Even Rocky had a montage... hilarious. Feathered that like button!
In my early 40s I discovered the perfection of Almonds and Cranberries as a lunch. Filled me up but didn’t leave me sleepy in the afternoon so I could crack on at higher capacity.
I'm 33 and thebpast few years has made me realize that I barely eat during the day because I become sluggish and just feel icky if I eat till I'm full. I usually come home and eat a huge meal a few hours before I go to bed.
@@randybobandy9828 You can do what I have been doing for the last 20 years, eat 6 or more meals a day in much smaller quantities....
@@ckm-mkc I might but I like the idea of fasting. For 16 hours straight.
Great video! I skim coated over some popcorn ceilings and watched several youtube videos in preparation (paint roller trick was a lifesaver!). This is the first time I have heard of delamination. What would you do if the ceiling delaminated? Hope this does not happen but also hope to learn more about it in the next video!
Transferred over from the skate channel to the carpentry channel. Thanks for spreading the knowledge Ben.
OK, I have to ask....... You score your drywall from the back instead of the front. Is this just a personal preference or does it serve a purpose?
Wondering the same thing. I understand why he does that for trimming off an already installed piece.
Would have guessed, more like 30...hard work must keep you looking young! Looking forward to more tips..and watching you work
i guess we lucky here in Australia-hardly any textures here to cover up,also nearly always gaps here in wall/ceiling as to cornice moulding as no fire code requirement here in domestic construction
Thanks for the great video! But one question. As there was mold on the drywall inside, shouldn't you be concerned what caused it and is there more close by?
I'm just an amateur but dealing with pretty much an identical job! I would never sand the artex though, it's a 1930s council house and probably full of asbestos. I keep it super damp, scrape the high spots, then use Febond Bluegrit as an adhesion promoter for the plaster skim coat.
I'm really relieved for you to say a few weeks cause I was thinking that would take me more than a month.
Thanks dude been watching ur vids and they make me wanna work on my own house good job 👍
What a cliffhanger! I ruined my bathroom ceiling just like the one you showed. Now I have to wait to see how you fix it?!
Damn that looks like it'll be a mission to complete. One of those jobs where you need some energy drinks and music to keep you going haha. Also a labourer to lay drop sheets and move your ladder etc. Looking forward to the transformation though, you got this!
Great job, skimcoat. Proud of ya.
Also second comment of the day man but I just finished dry walling my daughters room and without your videos man I wouldn’t have even considered trying
Now I’m thinning down mud and throwin it up with a hawk and trowel haha
Thanks for your vids man!!!
Great job upping the production quality a bit. Seeing some similarity with Scott Brown’s channel which is a good thing. Looking forward to the rest of the series, this is a job that will really showcase your expertise.
Did you consider the technique of wetting the ceiling and scraping the textured foam off? I've seen that done several times. I've seen it done on brushed ceilings too.
After you do that you'll find out that you have to skimcoat the ceiling anyways because the drywall was never finished properly because why bother if you are going to texture. If you want flat painted ceilings, skim coating gives the best look so may as well get to it right away.
Yes you still have to skim, I was just referring to the problem of the whole thing falling off after you skim over the foam texture. Might as well get it off completely before starting new.
@@HotspotsSoutheast Valid point, that would be a judgement call on how sound the stuff up there is and whether or not you trust it.
I knew you and I were cut from the same cloth. You said “montage” and the first thing that came to mind was “Even Rocky had a montage!”🤣🤣
Luv your vids ,,, lots of great info
Any worry about asbestos in the ceiling?
I just finished scraping my first popcorn ceiling, only 1000 sq ft more to go. My dad helped me rip down the first of 5 popcorned valances, similar to this one, in my area's version of the "BC Box" (I have a Vancouver Island Rancher). When I was doing the ceiling I had the best luck with 2"-6" putty knives because I wasn't strong enough in my hands and arms to manage even pressure on a bigger one. I keep coming back to this video and others you've made. Wish me luck as I try my first taping and mudding this weekend. I've never really touched tools or done any home reno DIY before. My future UA-cam channel is more comedy and cautionary tales than DIY information. =)
Love your videos. Would be great to see a comparison of GFCI outlet brands to see which is easiest to plug things into. I hate the bumpy feeling of mine.
Good one Ben ... I see there’s some of that Vancouver liquid sunshine in your opening🤠👍
Thank you for the video. I even enjoy the discussion about age/breakfast - turning 35 this year!! :)
"Ugh. Words."- Ben Degros.
Starting a similar job like this so I'm super glad you get to struggle through a video series so i can thrive. It really does mean a lot. You should probably a percentage! xD
Ben! I was thinking about skin coating a popcorn ceiling also it’s painted and almost impossible to scrap. Or do you think it’s better to put a new layer of drywall over the popcorn ceiling? Thanks!
Hey Ben you and me got the same taste in corded circular saws I see. The good old trustworthy makita!👍
I hate that I know the montage reference.
Thanks for talking the extra time to film for us.
I want to see pt 2 of the texture job! The house I bought a year ago has textured walls and ceilings. Sort of like the orange peel dimpling. I hate it soooo much, and am wanting to DIY a fix. If I learn how to do a great skim coat, do you think that will do the trick???
Hi Ben! I'll jump right to it. Do you recommend priming a textured (orange peel) wall before skimming? FYI the paint on walls is about 15 yrs. old.
Vancouver is a big place. I was trying to get. a look on Google maps to see if I could guess what area you were in but man it goes on forever. It's not one of the newer subdivisions where they pack the houses in together like sardines so that eliminated most to the areas close up to the hills and it's not near the downtown area where the houses are also packed close together. I found maybe 3 or 4 areas it might be in but I can see where it would take you almost an hour to get to any of these places.
Surprised to see a corded screw gun on a patch job. Thank you for all you do for us out here.
I am wondering what your criteria is for covering a wood floor before beginning work. Your thoughts?
For this kind of work, you don’t really need to cover the floors. In fact, floor coverings can be a safety hazard when ladders/stilts are being used. Best to make a mess and simply clean it afterwards, since you’ll l mainly be dealing with dust and debris that can be easily be vacuumed and mopped/wiped clean with a damp cloth. Your worst case scenario is that a large piece of drywall falls on the floor and makes a dent in soft wood flooring. However, unless you threw down cardboard, no amount of paper or plastic will prevent that from happening.
There are really only two-possibly three- occasions when you want to cover your floors:
1- when you’re painting, in which case taping down brown paper is your best bet
2- if you’re removing popcorn/textured ceilings to catch all the material and water that falls, which makes cleanup incredibly easy (in which case I suggest using large, thicker plastic throw covers taped to perimeter of the area you’re working in)
3- if you’re working on a carpeted floor, since it’s harder to clean fine particulates out of carpet pile
@@eyespy3001 Where I used to work, we used adhesive masking film on the carpet when we painted. The advantage is that it doesn't slide around like plain plastic sheet.
@@michaelwarren2391 Yeah, plastic sheets are only good for demo work over carpet and popcorn ceiling removal. For me, everything else is bare floors and shop vac or heavy brown paper.
Very informative videos. Your making me want to attack my textured walls and ceiling’s, but I have a question. My walls and ceilings are plaster. Would you skim over just like drywall?
What a huge project! Great montage! Did you compose/edit this vid yourself? If so you have mad skills.
Lots of work to grind through. Interesting to watch. Did you (have to) test the ceiling for asbestos? Thanks for the video.
i love the montage!
I just textured my bathroom walls, stairwell, and the ceiling in my son's room.
Skip trowel finish.
I like it 🤷🏻♂️
Would it have much more expensive to just rip all the textured wallboard off and start with fresh drywall?
Great video 👍🏻 I feel like I would have just ripped out all the drywall and started over 😂
How do you determine it's worth doing this vs removing all the drywall and reinstall?
In the UK textured (aka Artex ceilings) often contain asbestos and shouldn't be sanded or scraped. Not sure if it's the same deal over there?
Love the beats
Love the videos
Did you test the texture and joint compound for asbestos? It appears the house is of an age when asbestos use was common. Where is your floor protection and poly sheeting?
Yes a big task ahead but I’m sure you’ll knock it out. Hope you’re getting paid well. Love your work. Cheers mate 🇦🇺
hmm for the mold, wouldn't have it been better to ask the owner to remove all the insulation and affected portions because it may travel in the future no?
really would want to know if you could do masonry , it would be cool to see you on a little job like that, you inspired me to get into the trades, i just started my apprenticeship this week!! much love from dmv usa !
What's that hanging off the end of your drill?
Loved the montage music.
Hi Ben. I'm 41 and know what you mean, with a big breakfast I can go all day non-stop... perhaps a cuppa ever 3 hours for a rest break, then i have to eat around 7pm. My friend who I hire to help me with larger DIY jobs (' muscle') has 6 eggs and 5 slices of bread for breakfast and a mug of coffee, unless he's hungry then he has more...thats it until supper time when he has eats some leftovers....
was there a followup video to this project? curious how it all went
Wondering why you wouldn't wet/scrape the ceiling instead of floating it out?
5:23 'cause even Rocky had a montage, montaaaage. 😂😂😂
