I see this video like watching Bpb Ross painting. Not really caring what the outcome is but just going with the process. Watching someone skilled in what they do.
I watch almost every episode. This was great. I often thought that after learning your techniques it would be nice to watch you just work. YT is entertainment too nowadays, I enjoyed watching and picked up a few gems. Hell in my opinion do one of these every once in a while.
Enjoyed the meditative taping. Sometimes it is nice to listen to the rhythmic sounds of the trowel on the wall. Thank you taking some time to yak at us all haha :D
Just turning 68 years old , Done a lfair bit of drywall work and tape and bed over my carreer, but you make it look so much easier than I evrer experienced. Tons of great advice for us middle men. Thanks and keep up the good work!!
I like this format. A little change is good once in a while. Felt like hanging out with you at the job site just shootin the breeze. Love your work! Keep on keepin on.
Hey Ben, I'm sure it's already been covered numerous times in past videos, but I always wondered where/how you learned to tape. I dabble in and out of the trade myself, mostly self taught, but have worked with various pros on certain jobs. Shoutout from northern BC, in FSJ!
I'm a DIY drywaller, and I was debating whether to buy the mudding hopper and use the pre-mudded tape. After watching you run through that room, I think the $35 would be well spent. It's nice to hear that you had all your kids with the same wife. Me too, but then I only have one kid, so it ain't exactly an accomplishment.
Visual learner: that's me. I have (and still am) learned so much from your instruction videos, but watching you just do it has been an eye-opener for me. I am way too picky and slow when I should just be flying. Narcissist? No. It was really good to learn a bit about your personal life, since I have seen so many of your videos, and it is nice to know a bit more about you. I also am one woman, 44 years and counting! :oD
I was just repairing the ceiling in my condo garage today due to water damage. This is the second time for me in the same area. I left the first ceiling repair in rough shape because I knew there would be additional repairs in the future, and here we are, so the same type repair will suffice. Even if I wanted to, I could never do repairs at your level. It's always close enough is good enough for me.
Dude! No way you are being narcissistic talking about yourself. Lol you are such a great guy. It’s very obvee. All the best to you and yours. I got you beat with 6!
You can pick up a tape buddy to see if you like the process. Its cheap and if you don't like it you not put that much. I call it the poor man's super taper.
I haven't commented for a while since I finished up all the remodeling work around here. The walls I fixed that were not level that were installed by the drunk guy still look great. And since my daughter and her husband moved out I converted the large double room into my home office / lounge with a mini kitchen. But I'm back now because that same daughter is now expecting a child and they want to move back in with dad to save on rent and utilities. So this time we will be finishing the basement. Years ago I started the finish work by installing studs and running electrical, coax and phone lines, but the room was never finished, it became my train room. But now it will be an apartment. So I'm back to watching videos on how to do drywall and other stuff. I missed watching you get covered in mud. Not that I'm into that sort of thing of course, but I missed the humor, and tips!. :)
Hullo from across the border. Hope to get up to visit Vancouver again sometime this summer, it's been a long time. I've been watching your channel for some time now, so interesting to hear a few factoids about you. Wow, so lucky your country has medical coverage for all! If you haven't covered it elsewhere in another vid, it would be interesting to learn how you got into the trades - what your career path looked like. Training, internships, employment, self-employment, certifications/licensing &etc. Background info that might give younger people interested in the trades an idea of what that road might look like, how to get going, what to expect. Maybe some career advice too, things to avoid and things to seek out, trade-life-hacks.
Well, next time I tape a big job, this is the method I will use. Except instead of buying the fancy tape thing, I will go back to your box method from a long time ago.
Like apostle Paul said man you could boast if u wanted to... gotta stay grounded in the Lord. U doin great man kids got a great role model. Mines only 2 months and I got great role model too!
Skaters are movers and doers. Guessing there aren’t enough of them laying around watching skating videos instead of doing it. Where as us old homeowners enjoy watching you work.
"That's how I always get muddy, leaning over the bucket". I try to always put my washout pail on my 2 step or another bucket, less bending over at that point.
Excellent video for visual learners, has a lot of great content. Best liine : When doing drywall, you have to see everything ,, Guy skips mentioning living on Vancouver Island for 8 years ,,, adds it in as an edit ,,
I like this style of video, and look forward to more! Thanks! You could show us texturing next if you hadn't been scarred as a young boy by a texture gun. 😬
Another great video. Thumbs up! Do you have a video on repairing popped tape on a horizontal joint from settling? Does the tape need to be pulled and re-taped?
11:20 Seriously 😐 that’s truly interesting. When I tried to make it in Phoenix it was a rare oddity to find. A true lineage ancestry of Phoenicians. I met only one that professed to be.
But there are many who are becoming more self aware. I think it’s like a split. I bifurcation of human consciousness. One is evolving and one devolving.
10:23 Would you normally do the swish-swash fills for the ceiling screws before applying the tape or does the tape mud fill in the screws well enough to be able to do both simultaneously? (love the video, thank you for it)
When you're fixing the poor-router job, you're stacking the tape on each of the 4 corners; is that preferred, or is minimal overlap ideal if you had more time?
overlapping is stronger and makes sure theres no missed parts (more consistent). you solve the build up with your coats of finish mud. overlapping is also faster. if you are finessing could you make the tapes end exactly beside the other one? sure that would work too, its just slower and doesnt lead to any substantive difference in end product for a drywall finisher.
i work around drywall finishers alot I supply temporary heat for them in washington state, how important is heat in the process of doing drywall? i sometimes wonder how important it actually is to bring a house up to 75ish? plus. i end up dealing with excessive moisture in the attic from condensation i remember one house the roof sheeting was so soft u could stick a knife thru it. It gets me thinking if its just to push out houses quicker or if its needed for our local weather
I think I've watched every taping video you've made and have learned so much! Love your videos! I'm repairing some cracks in my daughters (orange peel) ceiling. Using all purpose mud, after enlarging and filling the cracks. Thinning the mud but still see to have too much mud under the tape which ends up with a tape hump. Would this be a good method to try, coating the tape in thin mud? Thanks!
@@vancouvercarpenter I took the old tape off and used this method, it worked great! No tape hump at all, a much cleaner result than the process I used prior. Thanks!
One of my friends was really into skateboarding until his parents told him he'd have to start paying for his hospital visits and broken bones, then he chilled out.
You did that so much faster than I might ever have. Just wondering, with such speed, do you ever get bubbles on ensuing coats, and if so, how do you deal with them?
A lot of people make their RU-vid channels about them instead of whatever topics they cover. Which is fine if they are the source of entertainment, like people who make GTA videos. It's not the game that's fun to watch it's the people playing that are what's funny. But in my channel all I care about is the content, I shoot train videos. I don't talk during the video, I don't leave commentary, because I don't particularly care to hear myself talk and all that really matters to me are the trains. Some people get frustrated I don't talk through the whole video giving details here and there. But that's not my style. It's not about me, and I don't really care about the details. It's just a train. I prefer to hear the sound of the train to my own voice blathering on. If I do make a video with voice it's either a fake voice or an AI generated one.
I will repeat my challenge from your previous video. I've subscribed, watch all your videos, but have not improved my amateur abilities. I learn by doing. Therefore, tell me where and I will travel, will participate in one of your videos and maybe I won't curse every 4th word. If you can teach me tricks to get better results, it would be my honor to participate. And for clarity, I use the mesh tape and typically end up with my edges looking terrible. I apply too much mud, sand too much and cannot seem to realize the mud coverage edge wasn't good until I start painting.
The scary part is this problem is going to get worse as our economic outlook in the west continues to decline and the small % of successful people get desperate to keep theirs. It’s going to be tough boys
💯% A+ ⭐️ You go to the Head of the Class. 😊 Your best advertisement for any trade is word of mouth. 0:50 Seriously, to up your rank there’s nothing better than Contractor’s Crack. You need to show bending over compound work. Please don’t be a narcissist that’s unnecessary with your looks. Why be a narcissist when You are a God!
Hi I love your content and have watched many of your older videos too. However, as I wanted to watch this video I was forced to watch un-skippable commercials, first a 1 min lenght and then 1 min and 18 secs. Please make the commercials on your channel skippable. I haven't even started to watch your content and I got force to watch the ad. Keep up your content!
Incel comments from the internet pros. Seriously, all trade videos I watch from plumbing to drywall can be absolutely excellent and flawless work and someone here tries to correct it. You insufferable hacks lol
