MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

Renovating our first house. I'm so scared but you made it less scary. Thank you

@mishafrolovdesign 2 года назад

Looks great. I'm curious what the walls look like with a low angle light close to the wall. Re tips. you could add different colour pigments to every new coat of compound, that way you detect the voids a lot faster.

@noodles806 2 года назад

Crazy! We had paneling in our house too before we ripped it all out and went to a smooth skim coat. Didn’t do it ourselves though, but watching your tutorial gives me even more appreciation for what my guys did though! Saving this for when I might have to do it for my garage.

@ModernBuilds 2 года назад

More time and energy than I was expecting but BIG difference!

@MrMikeJones1477 2 года назад

Make sure you vacuum your walls really well before priming/painting.

@lebronjameslol3521 2 года назад

Gotta watch the entire things to catch the tips like cleaning off the long scraper. Pigment in the touch up is really smart so you know where to sand.

@cwebbertw 3 месяца назад

Did you sand the exisitng textured paint before applying the compound? or just clean the wall and put the compound over it? Because my textured paint wall has glossy finish on it, I'm afraid the compound can not grab onto it.

@carterhoenig7759 5 месяцев назад

Would it be easier to remove all the electrical devices and cap off wires and push back into boxes instead of trying to work around the potentially energized wires ?

@Thatoneshinyhunter 2 года назад

Awesome! Been so cool and informative to see the detailed process of a full house renovation like this. All the little pointers you throw in make it worth taking notes. I will remember these videos for when I get something haha. Cheers man not much like these around.

@ModernBuilds 2 года назад

I appreciate it big time dude!!

@theflourcity 2 года назад

Since you took off the trim around the doors, will you put corner protectors on there or just leave as is? I think about it chipping if you move furniture in and out. Thanks.

@ES-kg3qx 2 года назад

Looks fantastic!

@soundbyte99 Год назад

Finishing outside corners with tape instead of corner bead is asking for trouble down the road.

@kelliforeman421 Год назад

I appreciate that you need to clear a room first. There will be dust etc.

@pteddie6965 2 года назад

The walls look great. How any hours did it take you, start to finish? This desert house is going to look fantastic when you are done. If you follow the NBA, I'd like to know what you think of OKC's picks in the draft. As an Okie who now lives in LA, I'm really stoked about the Thunder's immediate future. Thanks for the video and for the entire series.

@ModernBuilds 2 года назад

Thanks dude!! it was 4-5 full days and a couple easy days of spot filling/sanding. I definitely would've taken Jabari Smith after Orlando passed on him but I hope Chet can put on some muscle/weight over the next couple seasons and be really good!! OKC's about to be on a major comeback with these young guys

@Elena-mk6bf 7 месяцев назад

You apply the drywall mud to the painted surface? My walls are semi-gloss, no texture. Can I apply the drywall mud to the semi-gloss paint, no texture, without any prep?

@lauraandedwardcannon8861 2 года назад

Where did you get that cool bucket top dust separator, I don’t see it listed above.

@zenithperigee7442 2 года назад

@Laura and Edward Cannon, I wondered about that too, the lid has "Dustopper" stamped on it. He probably forgot to list it but apparently it can be purchased at various retailers online and in-store.

Got it at the depot, link added!

@V45194 Год назад

Thanks for the vid! Question: the old surfaces were painted, right? Did you treat them in any way before applying the compound?

@leannak6864 Год назад

Hi Mike, I bought the sander and the Dustopper based on your recommendation. My question is how did you connect the house from the sander to the dustopper. It looks like you used white duct tape. Is that correct? Thanks in advance for your help!

@ZGitchev 2 года назад

Great job! Love your work! Nevertheless you forgot to mention that you have to clean the walls after every sanding. Also this mask is not the best solution to very small particles.

@kenmaira 2 года назад

Hi Mike, about how much joint compound did your living room use? I saw you mix the 3.5 gal but I'm curious if it took much more than that.

@alexnicolas9135 2 года назад

Yeah, "all purpose" joint compound is what I've seen and used.

@MilosSesevic Год назад

How do you clean the dust (and with what) after sanding the walls?

@pearlperlitavenegas2023 Год назад

Buckets of water & moist rags to pick up all the dust broom/mop for floor MUST PROTECT eyes too from dust

Damn that joint compound dust. Destroyer of vacuums!!!! It's by far the worst part of this process.

@tyrelirwin 2 года назад

We don’t do this up here, we just paint the drywall. Can someone explain why you would skim coat? Looks like a LOT of extra work…

@clashofhope 2 года назад

If you don't like the texture

@ModernBuilds 2 года назад

It is to cover the existing texture or get a "premium" finish on new construction. Most people don't do it here either.. its a luxury finish you see in a lot of modern homes out here in California though

@iammewhonew839 2 года назад

bruh you could of used your knife to bust out all high points then sand. you over there looking like you sanding down a whole mountian on certain spots. . but you got it done, whatever works best, you did say your not a pro, yeah bust out them high points with nice sturdy 6" knife, scrap it all down then sand. I'm no pro but I've been taught a trick or 2.
