When you buy "box'" drywall mud, you are supposed to add water and mix to desired consistency. Also, if you need to save and re-use your bucket in the future, scrub it with a sponge and water after scraping it. Otherwise, you will get a bunch of dry crumbs in your mud. I recommend that you buy premixed mud in five gallon buckets. I suggest green lid general purpose mud. It has a lot of glue in it, so it can be used for everything you need. Time for some five gallon bucket etiquette: when you are done using your drywall mud for the day, you need to "turn down" your bucket. Scrape the sides of the bucket with your 6 inch drywall taping knife getting all the drywall mud stuck to the sides back down in the bottom of the bucket with all its friends. Then flatten out what is left in the bottom of the bucket. Wipe the inside of the bucket with a wet sponge getting them nice and clean. Don't worry about the water that drips down. That little bit of water will help keep your mud from drying out. As for mold in your drywall mud, store your mud in a cool, dry, dark place (like a closet). It will help prevent the growth of mold. Nothing will fully prevent mold from growing. I have purchased brand new mud with mold already in it. Just scrape it off and get back to work. Tim, I'm backing you up here: You should NOT sand wet drywall mud. It needs to completely dry. I have had skim coats take up to Three days to dry, because of humid/rainy weather. Put a fan on it, it dries through evaporation. Moving some air across it will help it evaporate quicker. Pro tip: If it is available, buy the purple lid drywall mud in the five gallon bucket. It is perfect consistency for what you are doing. If purple lid is not available, I would just use green lid mud in the five gallon bucket. Both will need mixed with the big mixing attachment that you bought for your drill. Charge your batteries, and set your drill to the slowest speed setting (slow speed = high torque...you will need high torque). You will need to mix for 5-10 minutes depending on how long the bucket of mud was sitting on the shelf before you purchased it. Mix until an even creamy smooth consistency appears. Primer - Buy the 2 gallon bucket of Kilz blue label primer at Home Depot for $30. You are throwing money away with the one gallon at $25/gallon. Rose Renovations (your UA-cam channel) is technically a business. You should go down to your local Sherwin Williams and sign up with a contractor account as a Sole Proprietor (become an LLC for the added legal protection - separate legal entity). As a Sole Proprietor, running a business, doing work for yourself (the business being your UA-cam channel). You qualify for contractor pricing on paint and tools. I typically get 40% off paint and 15% off tools. Also as a sole proprietor, you can claim any income earned through UA-cam on your personal taxes. Just find a Certified Public Accountant that you like/trust to do your taxes. All, tools, materials, and clothes become a tax write off. In other words, every dime you spent on drywall mud, putty knives, paint, paint brushes, paint sprayers, drop cloths, jump suits, safety glasses, gloves, work boots, etc. is now a tax deduction from your taxable income. If you are going to do work outside of your own house, you should definitely set up an LLC. If your UA-cam Channel stays within your own house, you should be fine as a Sole Proprietor. The downside to being a sol proprietor, is that if you get sued they can come after your personal assets (house, car, money). So think twice about showing something on your UA-cam channel if it can get you sued in the future. You might want to read my reply to your reply two videos ago. I will not be posting the video of re-routing my gas line. It was a successful installation, but I will not be putting it out there for the DIY community to view. Also, you are spending way too much money. Every time you film yourself going to Home Depot, Lowes, Harbor freight, etc. it is like I'm watching you set money on fire and watching it burn while you warm your hands gently over $100 dollar bills going up in flames. You should seriously reach out to me. I can save you thousands of dollars over the course of a year. I live over 2000 miles away, and I would rather go to the Antartica than Los Angeles California. You could not pay me enough money to come to Los Angeles California. I will never show up at your doorstep. Rose, at 12:45 in the video, I am very proud of you for rolling straight up and down. There is still room for improvement - paint pole being the biggest thing that was missing. I can help you cut your time spent painting in half. I can make skim coating much simpler. I can help you with HVAC, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, plaster, drywall, paint, trim, flooring, refinishing furniture, DIY projects, automotive, masonry, landscaping, (the list goes on and on). I can only explain so much in the comments section. Reach out to me kiddo, you will be tapping into 30 years of knowledge and experience. I have no one to pass my skills and knowledge onto, so take advantage of it. Otherwise it goes to the grave with me when I die.
That’s a lot of info! I’ve been drowning in comments from everyone. Which is a good thing, but that being said things are getting lost in the shuffle. I’ll reach out to you on one of my older videos where I can share my email :). As always thank you.
@@inkydinkydoodle Kelly, I appreciate that you read my comments. I hope my comments helps you and other UA-camrs out there in the comments section with your projects. Some great resources for DIYer's getting started are: This Old House and Family Handyman Both have UA-cam channels. I recommend them because they cover all home related topics. I wish you good luck with your projects, and be safe.
I gotta say that I'm glad to see the view count already at almost 2k after only a few hours, you definitely deserve it and a lot more! Been seeing a bunch of new comments on some of your older videos lately too, that are from only a day or two ago, so viewership is growing for ya. Can't wait to see what you can accomplish when your subscriber count explodes and you can start getting sponsorships! This has definitely, quickly, become one of my favorite channels and I actually am actively looking forward to the next video every week. Keep crushing it 💪🏼
One small thing though... I saw somebody suggest getting a shop vac on another video, and I definitely have to agree with that. That poor Shark just isn't made for drywall dust and the like 💯🤣 And they're pretty cheap (the filters is where they get ya, but there are hacks for that too!)
You are already off to an awesome start of the year! I did not expect the "goop" to go on so smoothly when it didn't want to stick to the roller but i turned out great! Tim is already using advanced contractor skills for when you get payed by the hour e.g. delay the process as much as possible (10:38) :D Geat episode!
Yes! :) they have an entire enclosure. All 4 of them. It’s all done up with a heating system and a basker and lights. Their set up is significantly larger now.
Y’all are so stinking cute!
Love your playfulness & the renovations
Thank you so much! 🥰

Happy New Year 🎉 love your videos. You & Tim are very funny.😊
Thank you! Happy new years to you too 🎉

Please don’t ruin your vacuum. I had a newer $400 Shark and ruined it by vacuuming drywall dust. I now own a shop vac and another $400 Shark. 😬
Thank you for your continued support 😊 I’m always happy to see comments from my original supporters. I really appreciate you saying that 🥰
You are soooo talented! I’m inspired by your videos!
Oh thank you! That’s so kind of you to say!
I was waiting for you to present Tim with an electric sander once he had finished 😂
😂😂 he got stuck with the block sander

😂😂 I’m DEAD. Advanced contractor skills.
@@RoseRenovationsI mean... Contract negotiation is part of being a professional 🤷🏻♂️🤣😂
I hate textured walls too!
Rose, I would love to see you give that fridge a built in look. Maybe frame it with wood cabinetry pieces?
That would look amazing! I’ll have to look into finding out if that’s possible for this place!
I love that the 2x8 section of the wall was Tim's suggested "cliffhanger" for next week's episode!
😂
Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
You did a great job
Thanks so much!
Would you recommend scraping the joint compound on paneling?
One more crossed off the list, yeah! Happy New Year!
Heck yeah! Happy new years!
Happy new year, love you're video's. Just subscribed a week aho and ive watched all.of you're videos. Love you're dickies too. So cute!
Oh thank you! I’m so happy you found the channel!
what a great start into 2025! can't wait to see more and more progress.
Thank you! 😊
Are you going to repair the dog wallpaper that the ceiling leaked on and stained? Love your videos!!
I will eventually. I haven’t gotten around to it yet and honestly I don’t want to touch it with a 10 foot pole until I’m over it emotionally 😂
I wanna keep watching but I need to know if the turtle is ok alone outside??!
Yes! :) they have an entire enclosure. All 4 of them. It’s all done up with a heating system and a basker and lights. Their set up is significantly larger now.
🙌🏼
be careful. since you didn't wash the bucket you are going to have small dry bits in it.
🫡 I’ll watch out. Thanks for the warning 😊
Tim I back you up. You can't sand wet drywall mud.
Ummm I’ve never seen joint compound in thinner than what you have here?
Weird! The only way I can think to describe it is that it has too much air in it
First! 😁 What do I win? Kirby?
You might have to fight Tim for that one 😂
@@RoseRenovations In my defense, Amazon did just deliver a package that I haven't opened. If only we knew a dog that could help. 😁
Hi! May I know your email address for a potential collaboration?
