Drywalling is pure art. I am in a carpentry class and we are learning about drywalling and installing trim molding, and sidings. It is really tough.
Drywalling takes a lot of skill
Does it matter what order to go in as far as butt joints and tapered joints ,ceilings and corners?
@@brandonloving7873You want to "bury" the ends of your tape as much as possible. So butts first, then tapered, then corners. The corner tape covers the ends of the tapered joint tape, which covers the ends of the butt joint tape. I mud in roughly the same order, with some allowance for whatever is too wet to intersect without ruining previous work. Screws when I feel like it, or fed up with other tasks.
It won't ruin anything if you get it out of order, but that's standard practice.

I’ve been watching countless videos on drywall installation, repairs, knock down. And this content so far is the most comprehensive and detailed yet. Now if I can start making money doing this because people today don’t seem to respect us tradesmen or want to pay us a livable wage. Then they complain migrants are taking all the jobs we do. Well pay us a livable wage !
Looking to start an apprenticeship as a drywall finisher. Since I have no experience, I was told to do some research before my upcoming interview with the union training center. This was a very informative video. I'll definitely be watching more of your videos over the next couple of weeks. Thanks for making these videos!
Best DIY content on CZcams. Thank you Josh for uploading yet another amazing video! You’ve saved me thousands of dollars on my home renovation project
That’s fantastic! I’m glad I helped you save money. That is the goal of the channel. I appreciate your kind words. Be sure to stay tuned!
I have tried drywall a few times and YES it does take practice. A lot More than I did . LOL
It does take a lot of practice! I know enough to do it, but I’m definitely not a full-time Drywall person. Those guys are fast!
I’m 3 out of 3 for totally rotten contractors, so I’m doing this stuff myself now. Thank you for the great video!
A great video for the beginner or some contractors ~ So unlike many drywall video he takes the time to go step by step and is very thorough ~ Many of these drywall videos are more inclined to basically "show-off" and skip over many essential steps ~
The only thing that I would add to this video is that when you are using the block/sponge in the inside corners just be aware to watch the adjacent corner and while of one side do not allow these blocks to dig into the opposing side [if not careful these blocks will dig a trench.......other than this little tid-bit this is one of the BEST ON CZcams....Jimbo / SC
Great beginner video Josh. So correct, that after years of finishing, you learn different techniques as everybody does. A lot of the hangers that my dad had they installed the corner bead and would usually use the crimper to get it set in place and then follow up with nails or screws. I have found after over 50 years of finishing that even taking an extra coat of compound and rolling it on, which is also known as glazing. This is a wonderful technique I learned many years ago which saves a lot of sanding. And of course a proper life while standing is the biggest key as well. My dad who taught me as well also said if you can finish a house with a knife fork or spoon and you can do a good job that's what counts. I've always taped with a 4-in knife and then coat with the 8-in then 10 in and then my glazing coat with a 12. The techniques are also different. Like most finishers nowadays use the bazookas and so forth but there's a lot of maintenance to that as well if you don't take care of your equipment. I'm glad your dad took the time to teach you the basics as well. Our fathers are so much alike and at least we both listen and then learn more from that. Great seeing the video and the time you took to put it together.
On another note I'm doing much better with the therapy from the back surgery and still have a long road but I'm making wonderful progress. Can't wait to see the next video and I love all your short ones as well. 🔨🔨👍🏻
Thanks David! I know several finisher and they all have their take on it which make it interesting. You have A LOT OF EXPERIENCE! I'm sure how I am doing it here is different than your technique. Yes, 4 inch knife is very common for taping but for me the 6" works.
Thankful for my Dad is an understatement for sure! Sounds like you have a similar experience growing up as I did. I researched the bazooka taping tool but I have not used one. Sounds faster!
I am glad to hear your recovery is going well. That was a big surgery and you sound like you have a good grasp on the therapy which is huge! Take care David!
Josh, are you a gifted teacher or an experienced general contractor? 😜 It seems you are both. It was a real joy to watch this show. Thank you! 👏❤️🙏
You are the best teacher! You are so clear and detailed in all your videos. Amazing how well you present everything. Thank you so much for all your videos.
I appreciate that Scott. I put time into the video so I can explain everything in as much detail as I can. Thank you for watching!
This guy is good at explaining the concept of specific task in construction 👍👍
I like to break down the construction tasks into layman terms to help people who are not familiar with construction. I really do enjoy making these videos as well. I appreciate your comment!
Great video , very informative ! You describe every step your doing or are about to do , so most people will understand , well done !!
One of the best videos for the DIY home owner. Very helpful
Thank you for your videos Josh.
This is the best, most comprehensive DIY lesson I have ever seen. You do a great job teaching! Do you have a video on what to do after removing wallpaper and prepping to paint.
I really do appreciate this comment. Thank you! I do not have a video on removing wallpaper. That would be a good video to make in the future. Thanks and good luck on your project!
Excellent job! Thanks Josh. I've learned a few things that I didn't know.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Josh you the best teacher on CZcams no doubt about it my friend I love it
Absolutely awesome step by step! Wish I had seen this specific video before I started…..
Outstanding! The perfect instructor!
Great video man appreciate it taking your time for theses great educational videos!!!!! Keep up the amazing work🛠️
I really do enjoy making these videos. I’m definitely going to keep it up. I appreciate your comment. Good luck with your project!
I like how you have cameras up in the not yet finished garage, good idea to catch people possibly going for a jog who might happen to sneak around in there
I’m about ready to finish our garage and this has been a great guide!
Great! This would definitely be helpful for you if you have not done drywall before. Good luck luck with your project!
Your videos are great! I'm not building my own place anytime soon but it's a dream of mine. These will definitely come handy when I do. Thanks!
I’m glad you liked the video! Yes, it will definitely come in handy in the future. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info man ! I’m subscribing
Thank you for taking the time to do this video!!! It helped tremendously on my basement project and save me quite a bit of 💵💵💵
I’m glad I could help you, Rick! I hope your basement turned out nice. I’m sure it did! Stay tuned for more videos to come!
Josh always through and very professional as usual. Good stuff
I appreciate that!
This was a very informative, I haven't had to do a job that large, but your "How to Tape and Mud Drywall - BEGINNERS GUIDE to Finishing!" video is the best I have watched "EVER." Most just give you a fyi and "You will get the hang of it." To see 3/4 of what you showed in your video I have watched close to a dozen or so videos of other professionals mostly.
Thanks for your clear and detailed instruction and advice. Consider this, not everyone watches CZcams DIY videos, your instructions are extremely clear, I have written training instructions and lessons. You could set your instructions to DVD for sale online. Just a thought... GOD BLESS EBW M.Ed. USN Ret.
I tried to explain how to finish drywall as clearly as possible so a newbie could try it and see what they think. I know people don’t have all the time in the world and can’t sit and watch the whole video but the timestamps make it easy to jump to the areas, fast and view what they want. I appreciate your kind words! God bless you as well. Take care!
👍🔨🤣I just noticed you had a new video while watching one of your older videos 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome! If you start from the beginning of this channel, there is a ton of content! I’m always trying to keep the channel fresh with new ideas and content. Thanks for watching!
Very very good video excellent explanation on what to do
You explained well and step by step. I found that putting a joined compound is very difficult to make it smooth even though looking at your video.
Excellent 👌 presentation.. very educational. Thank you so much 😊
Most welcome! I appreciate your comment. Stay tuned for more to come!
One of the best video I have seen.
I’m glad you found this video helpful. Stay tuned for more!
Thanks for another great video. I prefer paper-faced corner bead. The metal seems to have fallen largely out of favor, at least in my area. I see it crack often in old houses.
A tip for beginners is to shine a light sideways on the joint while sanding. If you see any shadow, you're not done. Keep sanding, or smooth out your edges more on the next coat. Be patient. You may need more than three coats to get a good result.
You’re welcome! Thanks for adding your input on helping the viewer improve their skill set by using a light and shadow. Yes, more coats is definitely welcome if needed. Thanks for watching!
Thank You
You’re welcome!
Dude your amazing 🔧
Thank you!
Best contractor on CZcams 👍🏼
Wow, thanks! Stay tune for more videos to come!
how can you hang the mini split before you're finished? take it back down again for paint?
Stopping by to like the video. Be back soon to watch!
Thanks a lot! Hope you like it!
Oh shit you went for it!!!
We sure did!
The best tutorial
Thank you! I’ve put a lot of effort in trying to make this full and complete. I hope it helps!
excelente información
nailed it
I try my best when I make one of my videos. I appreciate you taking your time to let me know!
outstanding video.... You have been such a great help with all that you do, Thank you.... One question... When putting on the tape, do you not put a second coat over the tape so you do not get bubbles and the tape is thoroughly wet ???? I have always been told that if you only do the coat than the tape and smooth it out without a cover coat the tape will be too dry and bubble??? I would love to hear you opinion and thoughts on this.... Again thank you for all the great content it has helped so much...
Appreciate that! We let the tape dry and put the second coat on as shown in this video. We do not have excessive issues with bubbling or anything of that nature. I hope that helps!
Thank you @@TheExcellentLaborer
In my experience, bubbles are more a result of not enough mud under the tape. You can also add more water to the mud. No need to add joint compound on top just to get it wet. Some people wet their tape before applying. I don't.
I also find that trying to coat over the tape while it's wet doesn't yield a good result. It doesn't hide the tape like a second coat over a dried taping coat, for some reason. So it just ends up being more passes, which seems like a waste of labor.
Make sure to like and subscribe Thats every bit helps!!!!! 🎉
Yes it sure does. Thanks for your support!
15:34 what angle is used to clean before putting the tape without removing to much mud?
How long should you wait between each coat?
What are you doing next are you installing cabinets next
I’m currently making a video on painting the garage. After that I will be doing cabinets but I have different videos in between that will be coming. Stay tuned!
Hello, did you put on your 2nd coat on the same day you put down the tape?
I always wait for the drywall mud to dry between coats. I never have tried it on the same day, but it might be possible. I hope that helps!
Will that no coat angle tape straighten out angles that are not straight?
Oh yes, it will help it a lot. If it is really bad, it won’t take it all the way out but certainly help. I hope that makes sense!
@TheExcellentLaborer hard to tell other than your clothes but in general is it 1 day (24hrs) between coats?
If your building is dry and warm, 24 hours should be adequate between coats. I hope that helps!
Nice job man, that's a big job there, I bet you had a few sore muscles 😂
Thank you. Yes, I definitely had some tight shoulders for a few days. Thanks for watching!
为什么我贴的纸在干了后会起皱纹？Why does my sticker paper wrinkle after it dries?
Tidy work. Mr
Thanks a lot!
No worries.
So you don’t mixed it with water using mud for the screws holes only when tapping
Does it matter if you start on the outside corners first or the flats?
No
Do I have to leave a gap between drywall sheets?
Speaking personally I don't really think it's necessary to leave a gap in between because you shouldn't be dealing with expansion and contraction when it's mudded in place anyway ; some people say you should leave an 1/8" gap
We do not. Check manufacturer recommendations for your Drywall. Thanks for watching!
@@TheExcellentLaborer Thank you for quick response. I'm about to start drywalling in my basement. Next Wednesday I will have framing inspection. Wish me good luck. And thank you for your guide
How much would it cost for me to build a 16 wide 60 long house I live in Canada
I'm not sure how much it would cost in Canada because our prices here are totally different I'm sure. Ask a local builder for the best idea in your area. Thanks for watching!
They should make drywall where all sides are tapered.
You need to cut it to different sizes and shapes so it would be impossible to account for all of that ahead of time.
Now, if you could create a tool that allowed you do taper the edges as you went, I think you’d be a millionaire.
Gosh, are you that difficult and we Dutch are that good and easy? 😉 Just take AK plasterboard, mesh the seams and plaster the recessed part evenly with the plasterboard.. after drying, apply a thin finish layer one more time, slightly overlapping. After drying, sand diagonally with a fine sanding net and you are ready for sauce without seeing a single line.
Kind of curious why you didn't introduce the corner knife
I have a corner knife, but never use it. I hope that helps!
@@TheExcellentLaborerI've got to say you did a great job without it and doing the corners in half kind of eliminates the need for the corner knife
Why the AC is installed already ? Should I do that before or after finishing the drywall?
@@khelix23ideally I would do the drywall first
Great stuff, but definitely understand why you would want to hire someone...lol
Exactly! Lots of work. Thanks for watching!
你是一个好老师，你还需要装修工人吗？我去跟你工作。You are a good teacher, do you still need a decorator? Can I go and work with you?
why is it called no-coat?
I'm not sure I understand the name
I assume because the very inside corner doesn’t have mud covering it.
Wrong , most corner bead is not nail on , that went out in the early 70s. Tape on corner is far Superior. Vinyl is useless
I do drywall finish work about 3 times per year and I’m fairly good once I’m about 50-75% finished with the room and I can’t you just how frustrating that is. The best way to explain it is 😫😫😫🤬🤬🤬🖕🖕🖕🤬🤦♂️🤷♂️💀🤦♂️🤷♂️
The confusion labels on the products are annoying. Why call something all purpose if it isn’t? I’ve been trying to learn more about drywall repairs and the product descriptions are confusing and misleading.
I really want to work with you, if you don't mind.
Where's your PPE?
I think you need to learn how to do drywall before you try to show how to do it instead of using the whole knife to spread the mud , use just the side of your knife to spread and then use the full blade to smooth out the screw holes
Everyone has their own technique. Thanks for watching!
He did fine. Showing the overall correct materials and process is more important than the little flourishes. Those come with practice anyway, and honestly can't be easily taught except by experience, especially over video.
I still do screws one by one half the time.
