I am a DYI'er that is in the middle of a complete home renovation. It is a total gut job. Two things that I hate to do - because I am not good at them and struggle horribly with completing them - is plumbing and mudding. I am so glad that I found this channel. Although you make this look easier than it really is...lol, I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thank you for producing such great content that is easy to follow!!
Your're Canadian so the dialogue (2:43) should look like that: - Don't step on the bead, buddy! -I am not your buddy, friend! -I am not your friend, guy! etc. ;))) If ya'll know where it is from... ;) Cheers from Poland!
I had some door frame issues ( just like in VC's door video) that I mud framed so trim would go on straight. I used 20 minute quick mud,it turned out okay. I really appreciate his no nonsense work on remodel real world problems. Thank you very much.
I have built buildings all my life and I am no longer young. This man may be the only drywaller on Earth that looks at walls like he does and tries to fix them. Every other mud man I have ever met would slop it across there as quickly as they could and then want to be paid. If you said something they would say if was the framers fault and it really is. Great job fixing someones else's mistake.
Been in construction for years. The only time level or plumb actually matters, is when pouring a foundation and rough framing. Aside from that, the only thing that matters is how straight or square it appears. Sometimes plumb or level looks horrible on a settled house. Good eye Vern.
@@MAGAMAN Well then it’s a good thing the floors aren’t even finished yet you dumb shit and who cares about wasting a little bit of mud 😂 it’s not a waste if it’s making my walls look better you Maga people So stupid it’s funny 😂
Awesome man, I haven't done drywall in fifteen years and recently took a second job doing it again. Learning a lot from your videos and working for myself has allowed me to grow better.
This guy is amazing. I need him to come to my house and fix all the builders mistakes. One wall is bowed like 3 inches - new construction. Can’t make this up
Nice!!!!!, You always give the next man behind you a better surface, carpenter, painter what ever the case may be, to perfect it for the HOME OWNERS, their the ones who have to LIVE WITH IT, really good work little brother, and good eye.
I really like watching people who are great at what they do as they do it. The focus and intensity is 100% and this is cliche, but it is poetry in motion. Brain and eyes, hands and tools all working in complete synergy.
Every video I watch has been a big help. You have a good teaching way. Every video you do seems a lot like a seminar for certification training. I've been a floor refinishing and painting contractor for 30 years.I have a few guys that are good with trowels. But you're certainly more fluent than they are. I like the variety of compounds you use also. Great job buddy. PS I like you canadians. Mostly because of Trailer Park boys and Kenny vs Spenny. I can add you to the list now too. You know what I'm sayin
Coating big areas with confil has a distinctive sound to it. Kinda sounds like crackling bacon. Oddly satisfying to hear. Weird shit I think of when zoning out on job sites....
Tweeking Oregonian style! So confill appears to be similar to a product I used to use called Foam Coat. Now I understand why you like it so much. I used it to fill a dent in the door of a 1978 Grand Prix I had, and it lasted for years. LMAO
I watch your stuff a lot and will be relying on these videos when I'm in the position to train a crew, thanks for your wide range of trade thouroughness
Why wouldn't you just shim under the drywall while it's still in the rough? Just take the screws out on either end and shim thin pieces of wood until desire height and if you want you could mix the mud in with it then screw back down. Fast and strong!
I'm impressed with your skill level. Experience does help but you obviously have to pay attention to what you are doing over a prolonged period of time.
All ur videos r great....they’re easy to watch and informative....your presentation makes it, so the theory finds its way back in the heat of the battle
Just now doing my first drywall crack repair ever and learning to use the finishing trowel . I'm mad with jealous rage with how easy he makes it look. It is frustrating getting the feel of it and learning to get smooth passes.
I'm so very impressed by this man! Great work, and fast too. Knowing your materials.. what to use for different situations, plus excellent trowel/knife skills definitely separates a pro from a novice.
Some skills, man. And you're doing it all, with "resting pulse"? Doing some pulse-exercise training on your free time? Calm and efficient - I love this!
You can also get a metal external bead which can be stapled in the plaster board also or nailed or screwed on and can provide the corner to not don't as much as paper tape.
I ran into this issue when I remodeled my sister condo. I couldn't get the top rails to flatten out. I ended up with a wooden stained board over that wall. You're too good bud.
Found this Quote from people who use StructoLite. One thing to note about Master of Plaster is that it sticks to anything equally well. However, StructoLite does not. It sticks to plaster without issue, but it has an issue with drywall. This has to do with the drywall paper sucking the water out of the plaster too quickly as it cures. This can cause cracking. This is why we picked up a gallon of Plaster Weld.
Another great job!..idea for future video, how to texture a wall. My folks said that a fellow used a damp burlap sack to texture the plaster in their home 70 years ago (now my home)...Would be good to know some of these techniques when doing repairs.
Thank you for all your videos we've been self teaching ourselves everything for our basement remodel and it's been going really well. Everytime my father-in-law and husband try to deviate from you've told us I'm like "DO IT THE VANCOUVER WAY OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL. I'LL REMIND YOU EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIVES WHY SOMETHING LOOKS LIKE CRAP UNTIL YOU FIX IT."
to make it perfect you could use some straight-edge wooden forms around each side and then fill and screed your con-fill. Afterwards apply your corner beads and finish off with a top coat. Easier than eye-balling.
Here in the states we have a material called Durabond. I use it for prefill, with mesh tape of heavy fills like in this video then finish with a sandable mud.
@@mrpanda2655 no, you don't have to, but led dimmers work better with electronics in the led bulbs and fixtures. In this day and age, he's better off switching to led fixtures. The dimming range is also better suited to led than incandescent.
It looks like you care about doing a good job. I would however recommend that you use a 1/8 Luan strips or other shims underneath the drywall to shim up areas where necessary on the hand rail. Also, a full metal corner bead with mesh tape on the edges is more suitable for a high-impact area like that. Those paper flanged corner beads are more liable to crack especially when you are floating out with thicker coats of mud. Just my opinion from my experience.
@@buster9807 "Boomer" has nothing to do with it. I'm talking about doing things right. Just wait till someone bumps that wall with furniture coming up or moisture gets behind it and starts flaking off big chunks because the mud is so thick. If you're relatively new to the industry, I would say listen, because there's a lot of guys who wouldn't share their knowledge. If you're not in the industry, or recently learned how to do these things on UA-cam, then kindly reserve your option.
Ur pretty dope bro, you make it look hella easy, and all though I am Def NOT lookin forward to doing this on my project, you show me. Alot to help easy the Nerves lol. Thx for the vids, you've helped a lot in many areas..
This is my entire house. I have many rooms with angled ceilings and the heights can reach about 14ft. Many of the rooms have a horizontal hump in the drywall at the 8 foot mark where the double top plate of the wall is. It is most likely a drywall butt joint.
The feeling you're going to use would be the ticket for my issue. When I use this product I'm going to be giving your channel a shout-out bro all right God bless bye for now Ken
These videos, and you, have helped me pull off some professional looking jobs so please keep making them. I have a house remodeled 5 years ago that has faux wood very very durable tough fake hardwood laminate floors with a 4-inch baseboard. When the baseboards were repainted some paint got on the flooring and is noticeable in some areas. Should I caulk between the bottom of the baseboard and the floor in that little Gap or just leave it?
Can one add the mud and but first cut new drywall covers for the top. Mud then cover the top of drywall with another drywall piece. Use the mud to cushion the gaps. Seems like too much trouble but I like it
I've used a hawk like a trowel before when i forgot to bring one on a job. Granted it was only one patch but you'd be surprised what you can spread mud with.
To save your self from sanding there is a system us plasterers use which is wet sanding with a green or yellow sponge float dipped in a bucket of water then tapping each end lightly and float over the joint compound or plaster and kill the edges with a 14” trowel. You can look up a fellow by the name of Kirk Giordano and he has plenty of videos showing just how much of a time saver it is when one wet sands instead of sanding with a sponge or sand paper.

There must be something wrong with me cause this looks fun!!! THIS GUY IS EXTREMELY TALENTED
Well I've been a drywaller for 17 years, and I'm here to tell you, both your statements are correct.
It's fun but it's work too!
It’s the sanding that’s painful
Lol yes agreed
Trades are fun dude. Get into one.

Dude. Your the van gogh of mudding. I've learned so much from your vids.
I want this guy working on my house lol he actually gives a shit about thing no other contractors care about at all
I have the same thought every time I watch one of his videos.
Agreed
He doesn't give a shit about wasting mud or getting it all over your floors.
@@MAGAMAN Well then it’s a good thing the floors aren’t even finished yet you dumb shit and who cares about wasting a little bit of mud 😂 it’s not a waste if it’s making my walls look better you Maga people So stupid it’s funny 😂

Me too
To have it done properly, it’s going to cost you a lot more. Most people want to pay the least amount possible, so you get this kind of framing mess.
It is amazing how the pro’s make it look so easy.
That came out super clean man great job! I’m also glad to see you drop mud on your shoes just like the rest of us!!!
If your. Not messy you probably don't know what your doing
Nice!!!!!, You always give the next man behind you a better surface, carpenter, painter what ever the case may be, to perfect it for the HOME OWNERS, their the ones who have to LIVE WITH IT, really good work little brother, and good eye.
You do great work !! I never imagined I would enjoy watching someone mud a wall ?!
I an 58 i did my living room and dining myself. you gave the best advice. thanks for the great info..videos
I really like watching people who are great at what they do as they do it. The focus and intensity is 100% and this is cliche, but it is poetry in motion. Brain and eyes, hands and tools all working in complete synergy.

I'll check it with my 10ft straightedge :)
just poke em in the eye. ha ha!
Or a midget.
I definitely teared up a bit on that comment 😂
They do

Great job again. Love the channel. Very informative and fun to watch. :)
This guy knows what they’re doing good job brother 👍
Dang Dude! That’s a nice job, you have mad skills.
Good work thanks for sharing. I'm drywalling my uncle's house and I need to learn in a hurry , thanks
Excellent video - quick, to the point, nice work & a bit of wry humour to make it fun. Great job!
All ur videos r great....they’re easy to watch and informative....your presentation makes it, so the theory finds its way back in the heat of the battle
Your cameraman is great. He manages to keep up with you without making the viewer dizzy.
Just now doing my first drywall crack repair ever and learning to use the finishing trowel . I'm mad with jealous rage with how easy he makes it look. It is frustrating getting the feel of it and learning to get smooth passes.
You know you good when you make it look so easy
I used to use a 6" knife in my corners but now I use a 4". Thanks for the recommendation you're the best
I'm so very impressed by this man!
Great work, and fast too.
Knowing your materials.. what to use for different situations, plus excellent trowel/knife skills definitely separates a pro from a novice.
5:50 - 6:00 for ten seconds you reminded me of John Mulaney-great comedian.
We are full on remodeling and I found your channel. I’ve learned so much! Thanks for the info!
I like to put mesh tape on the edge of those corner beads. In my short career I've seen a lot of nasty cracked corners
Great video tho
man this was soooooo impressive.
So satisfying watching you work mate I don’t even really do this stuff but it relaxes me somehow😂
Yup confill is amazing !! That’s going to be very strong
Some skills, man.
And you're doing it all, with "resting pulse"? Doing some pulse-exercise training on your free time?
Calm and efficient - I love this!
Need part 2 of this please.
You can also get a metal external bead which can be stapled in the plaster board also or nailed or screwed on and can provide the corner to not don't as much as paper tape.
Awesome channel and right away, you and the videographer really work well. Props to his work too 😉👍
I keep wondering when you're going to rename this channel to Vancouver plasterer?
Because he's a drywaller
Ben:
“Ohhh that doesn’t look right!?”
Me watching mesmerized:
“I wouldn’t know 😮”
3:13 "messy tapers" is my favorite song.
I ran into this issue when I remodeled my sister condo. I couldn't get the top rails to flatten out. I ended up with a wooden stained board over that wall. You're too good bud.

Your the man bro. Im a taper and that was some mighty fine work my friend. love your vids
Your were absolutley right about "drywaller protocol" 😄

you make it look so easy, its so satisfying to watch :)
As an electrician, I sometimes when I'm alone and bored, narrate my job as I work during the day... I think I need a cameraman... or psychiatric help.
@Ed Komasara And as I am a wanna be electrician I need to know if I have to do 2 dimmers on 4 LED ceiling fixtures if there are 2 switches? 🤔🤣🤔
@@harrypouncey9218 not unless you want to. Just make sure you have dimmable LEDs and a LED dimmer(s). They don't all play nice together
Ed Komasara they don’t have to be led dimmers
@@mrpanda2655 no, you don't have to, but led dimmers work better with electronics in the led bulbs and fixtures. In this day and age, he's better off switching to led fixtures. The dimming range is also better suited to led than incandescent.
I give myself narrated guided tours of the house we're remodeling when I'm there alone.
If I were doing this, and was completely alone, I'd still probably be talking just as much as you are.
A wealth of knowledge this fella

Full metal beads will lose chunks on impact while the paper ones resist impact better. That’s my experience…
I live in Oregon and I used to work on electronics in the service so from my prospective theirs more then one way to “tweek”
Pure artistry!
Spit up my coffee when you said if anyone walks down looking at handrails like this "their a jerk". Now that's funny s**t.

Up next:. How to repair drywall with a snow shovel
Oh oh😂😂🤣👁👁
How correct someone else's shitty drywall job with a snow shovel. Whatever it takes to make it look right.

stargateproductions really? Cool..hey whatever it takes right? 😀
stargateproductions you are right about that. Have a wonderful day.
Best video ever. You work very fast Ben.
Try watching this at 2x's speed.
🖕🖕🖕
As soon as the corner bead was nice he went BEAST MODE
Great video bro... you’re totally a PRO 🙌🏽🐐
Beautiful work.
I was skeptical but that came out good!
"you could take a level and fart around with it, but really you just need to see if it looks flat"
spoken like a true carpenter 😂
THAT is a work of art!
I've done this with bead and straight line on 45 angles on angles use caulk line and pre fill before laying tape
We are seeing eye to eye on this. Very good the only thing we don't see eye to eye on is mash tape
A lot of patience one must have with that kind of work. How much sanding work is there after all that mudding?
To save your self from sanding there is a system us plasterers use which is wet sanding with a green or yellow sponge float dipped in a bucket of water then tapping each end lightly and float over the joint compound or plaster and kill the edges with a 14” trowel.

I like trowel work but a nice wood cap might be more durable than drywall compound.
fak892 you are right. Explain that to cheap people people though. Sucks when home owners go cheap on me.🤯😨
Wood ,shims and trim.... Usually put lile a rounded over 1x6 or 1x8 on those
