Jeff, Level 5 makes a small, one handed 7" skimming blade, you have to try using it when you close up the walls on the new house it's a game changer. It's completely replaced the 4-6" blade for me, I actually don't even use a trowel any more, I use a hawk, a 7" skimming blade for taping and screws, and a 12" skimming blade has replaced the 10-12" trowel. You can also hook them onto your hawk between the blade and the guard without using a hawk mate.

I discovered your videos when I was trying to learn to install ceramic tile to my cruddy bathroom walls. There was moisture damage to the drywall in this 40 something townhouse and I didn't want to get into replacing drywall because I was afraid of what I would find behind it. So I ended up prepping covering those walls with drywall compound. My life became a nightmare of sanding and recoating with compound for months. I wish I had stumbled onto your videos before I started,but it is what it is. I have a long way to go yet on the project but it is encouraging to see a fellow like you tackle these seemingly impossible jobs without losing your cool and actually enjoying it. No matter how this thing turns out, I think that by following your example that I might come out the other side of it as a better person.

While I did not have asbestos in my popcorn ceiling of my family room, I decided to deal with it by covering it with tongue-n-grove. I love the new look and took advantage of the ability to easily add wafer LEDs lights for a more modern look. Not cheap by any means, but came out so well that I carried it into the semi-attached kitchen and half-bath. I think I more than covered the investment by the value it adds to the house down the road when I go to sell. I get so many comments from people on how they love it, want to do the same and ask me for help.

Hi Jeff, Love your videos, great, informative, honest and entertaining! Converting 1/2 garage to 4 season apartment/bunkie 250 sq ft. Tiny, Ontario. Not a contractor…lol social worker by trade. The garage, separate from the house, built in 2003 and seems well insulated, colder in summer and warmer in winter. The walls and ceilings were finished in plywood. Did the taping plastic on concrete floor test and there is no moisture. I want to finish as low cost as possible without compromise or creating more work/headaches. In your videos you say…”ask questions”…thanks…Here are my questions: 1. Can I drywall directly over plywood walls? 2. I want to use Insul-Arbor (Drycore) (yes I know…more money but less work) on the concrete floor and just lay the vinyl plank flooring on top (with underlayment of course), is this okay? 3. I will be building a wall to divide the garage and keep a car on the other side, so what type of “barrier” wall do I need to build? Any other advice is much appreciated! Thanks! Lisa

Asbestos is no joke. It has tiny air particles that have barbs that stick to your lungs. You won’t know you have asbestos until 20 to 30 years later. I wouldn’t touch or scrape that ceiling. Your just spreading those asbestos particles in the air no respirator mask no Tyvek suit not wise decision. The true only way is to take out a loan and have an abatement team completely remove everything that’s asbestos. Complete gut and remove. It’s gonna be an extra expense, but when it’s done, it will greatly increase the value of the home being updated to today’s standards safer for the family to sleep at night knowing that they’re not breathing in that nasty VOCs should’ve never used asbestos or lead paint in a home, which people are breathing! There had to be an airless sprayer type of sealant that you could use, which would be much faster for a temporary fix as I understand not everybody has a huge budget to be able to completely gut it. Proper protective equipment, Tyvek suit, respirator gloves, glasses airless sprayers sealant would’ve made quick work without touching or scraping or the extra work. Don’t wanna risk spreading any of those asbestos particles in the area you’re breathing.

options my friend just showing options. Cheers! it is hard to find the studs in an asbestos situation and for many folks installing a new layer of ceiling by themselves in not an option. I personally think an extra layer of drywall is faster but I also like to paint all the walls when I am done taping. this way you limit the scope of work to just the ceiling. Cheers!

Not suppose to put oil paint in the shaker? Why do you say that? I've painted and worked for Sherwin Williams all my life and I'm 62. Never been an issue.

what are your thoughts on perfect primer for encapsulation

it works but at over $500 a gallon I will stick to odorless zinsser for such a basic job. Cheers!

About an hour per room. Maybe a day for a typical 2000 sqft house. If it's you're own house just do a few hundred sqft per day and have it done in a week

Best place to test if the popcorn is asbestos?
@HomeRenoVisionDIY Ай бұрын
google for a lab. they will even come to your house and do the testing on anything you are planning to renovate like adhesives glue and drywall and drywall compound.

You have to be extremely careful doing this why I would avoid it. Sometimes even being careful bits of popcorn will break off while skimming trashing your mud.

So you paint then mud?
@HomeRenoVisionDIY Ай бұрын
yes the oil paint eliminates stains and also acts as a moisture barrier so the drywall does not hold all the moisture. it also is a sanding barrier to protect you from asbestos. Cheers!

@johne3999 Ай бұрын
You call that popcorn? I'd be happy if my popcorn was that finely textured. I have some ugly, very rough popcorn in my house that would probably take a pallet of quick setting mud to do a small bedroom.

I think I would just add another layer of drywall and start over from there

That works too but then you also have to paint the entire house once you use tape in the edge joints.

Pretty much the exact same process for skim coating your walls.
@HomeRenoVisionDIY Ай бұрын
for walls. I would skip the 45 mud and go straight to the all purpose. and only prime with oil if stained or plaster. Cheers!
