Love your vids. I make about 1300 per day profit doing roof repair and no one around me is doing it. I live in central fl. Been doing this for years now. Love how stupid simple it is. Went from custom builds, cabs, door, trim to killing it financially. All I do is roof repair now. Easy and make more than most docs. Also. I only have to work 1 day a week to cover all expenses. 2 days a week and retirement is beyond covered. Thinking about starting a KZfaq channel as no one is doing this around me. I still love fine wood working but now I do it for fun not for money.

I have been a landlord for 52 years. Bought my first hour at 22 years of age. Did all my own work repairing wood lath plaster walls. With time , I found that when fixing large holes or small ones, I did not have to use any type of perfa tape or fiberglass tape to cover the seam of the repair. I use the additive used with Portland cement to help stick it to old concrete. It is available at Home Depot and Lowes. It goes by many names , it looks like cream. You paint the edges of the old plaster and add it to the dry hot mud you mix in place of water. I have used this in my own home as well as the rentals. I like it because it can be troweled flat. Unlike where you use prefra tape . Prefra tape causes a slight bump that must be feathered out wide in order to disappear. No where in any of the apartments or in my own home has this ever failed. No seam or edge that meets plaster has ever failed . None has ever opened up. Some repairs are 40+ years old with no prefra tape of any kind. It is more expensive to do it this way, but there are times when it is best.

Stucco mason here. The materials and labor translate welll from inside to outside (lath & stucco vs gypsum). Two 2x3 (approx) patches like that, front row (front of house- eye level) 1.8-2.2k. The biggest variable for us is tying into existing lath and sometimes that goes sideways. Low end is the easy texture like skip trowel, knockdown or curl and the high end is running the acrylic coats/textures on top.

@shawnupdegraff8138 Жыл бұрын

For better lighting, try setting an led light (LED lights shouldn’t get hot enough to burn floor) flat on the floor shining up the wall but have it as close to the wall as possible. This should reveal the textured surface to us better. Hopefully camera can pick it up. Love these videos!

@@TheHandyman1 Your right!, Just re-watched, looks like the froze / stopped early on my phone, right before you put the tape over your face lol. I didn't recognize you when the video link came up without the beard. But after I read the title I was in to watch you work! Yea my contractors were terrible, I had to tear out the walls and patched areas and redo everything myself, and I have never really done drywall, just patches. It came out way better by shimming out the drywall. I think they tried to do the no sand like you did, only they had no clue what they were doing so it just looked terrible. With all the paint on my walls I find it helped me to lightly sand the trowel marks to blend them in before I sponge but that is also because I have way less experience in getting the mud just how I want it the first time. These days I would think this could cost $3000 or even more depending how long it took you, but that is the price of good work right now when all the contractors are just hiring the cheapest labor from across the boarder and charging the same price.
