Did y'all know we have *4 channels* now? This main one, plus: 🎮 Evan and Katelyn Gaming kzfaq.info (us playing games and chatting, enhanced by epic editing and a heavy dose of memes) 🎙️ Evan and Katelyn Podcast kzfaq.info (chatting about life, KZfaq stuff, and playing games you can play along with) 😹 Evan and Katelyn Too kzfaq.info (still figuring this one out 😂)

Oh how this video was major foreshadowing for 2 years into the future

Thanks for the advice guys. I need to fix a hole I made before my mother comes home.

Evan and Katelyn have the type of relationship we all wish we had. Congratulations Evan and Katelyn!

anyone else watching this in 2020?? I fell in love with these two and their content

When I was 16 I was playing video games at my cousin's house and accidentally knocked a hole in his bedroom wall. My aunt and uncle weren't there, so we quickly improvised a wall patch... a piece of cardboard from a Coca Cola box and some joint compound. Worked like a charm because 15 years later my aunt and uncle are still none the wiser to what happened.

Really love how you're putting your videos together. The pace is perfect, they're fun and informative, and the overall production is excellent. Nice job!

I’ve been a subscriber for a couple years, and came across this video while working on a closet renovation. It’s crazy how far you’ve come with video production and just feeling more comfortable on camera.

So I usually watch you two play with resin, which is always fun. Was glad to see you take your ability to explain so anyone can follow (regardless of skill/experience level) to common household tasks. Please make some on plumbing next? Ha!

Just bought my first house, and the garage is just like yours. Can't wait to use what I've learned here to revamp it. Subscribed!

I always love going backwards on your videos. It's like we grew up together as friends and neighbors. Especially since I live close by.

I love watching the old content and seeing the parts that would eventually define you both as content creators. You are both brilliant.

Truly a big help. This is the highest quality video for fixing a dry wall.

You guys are too cute!! Love your couple's DIY dynamic...so much more fun to be able to do home improvement projects together. :)

you are two beautiful people, i enjoy your videos because of the creativity (that could have been me) and because of your positive energy.. i love it.. take care!

Gorgeous results! Beginner tip: if you aren’t good at feathering, have a slightly damp rag to blend out the edges, or just be prepared to sand a little extra. No worries at all! 😅

Just watched your video. My son knocked a big whole in his wall and my husband wouldn't fix it now I can.... thanks to you. You guys are too cute...

Agreed! Painting really is the best part of the job.

Thanks for making it look simple. I got a big hole to fill and that way such a relief to know I can fix it myself.

What a complimentary couple. Your home must be heaven.

It’s obvious that you two truly like and enjoy each other! That’s really nice to see and makes for a very good, entertaining video! Good information, good pace, good music. Again, from an old guy who’s been married for 39 years, it’s really nice to see! All the Best!

protip that i learned from home renovision, with nail/screw holes or tiny holes in your wall, make a divet directly on it either using a small hammer or the back of a nail punch tool. this way, your spackle/compound is recessed rather than "over" the hole and you won't have to feather it out too much to make it even. it's the same principle as when they install drywall and slightly divet in the head of a screw.

For future reference, oil based paint goes super smooth on a door using mini rollers applying thick coats in straight lines from top to bottom of the door going from the hinges’ side towards the door handle’s side with the roller’s loose edge towards the side that you already painted (so the edge with the metal bit doing a bit of a L shape should be towards the side you need to pain because that is the side where you apply the most pressure on and therefore the side that creates the most streaks)... not sure that makes too much sense just reading it but if you try it out it will make more sense and you will get a perfect finish! Also I am super impressed my your patching skills, most home renovation channels got it wrong but you guys did everything right! As someone who worked in construction/renovation as a painter this makes me very very happy :)

You can also store a wet roller and brushes in plastic bags, assuming they don't have holes. Pop them in the fridge, but don't ever let latex or other water based house paint freeze. I don't know exactly what happens, but the paint turns into something like cottage cheese and becomes useless. I think the paint solids start to congeal when the water is frozen out, and it never goes back to a smooth liquid state. Oil based paint is my personal favorite. Because it dries slowly, it tends to level out very nicely and produces a very even surface. The downside is that it takes days to dry to the touch and months to fully cure. You have to get it right in one go, because once it starts to set up it does exactly what happens at 5:40. The paint oxodizes as it dries, so you wind up tearing and dragging around a very thin skin of drying paint on a mushy wet surface. You have to apply oil paint thinly and let it at least get to a tacky state before putting on another coat. If you get drips, you have to address them immediately. Rollers are pretty terrible for oil based paint because they don't lay down paint very evenly at the edges. With a brush you have 100% control and the better flow of oil paint makes it excellent for trim and detail work. I'm glad that you didn't blame the paint immediately for the fail and chalked it up to a learning experience. To be honest, modern acrylic and latex paints are just as good as oil based paint now, in terms of durability. I still prefer oil for it's silkier feel, but better quality latex paint will last just as long. That being said, Behr is complete garbage. My preferred brands are Pittsburgh and Benjamin Moore. Valspar and Olympic are alright for big box brands.

One of my favorite things to do when I find a channel I really like is to go back and see what their first videos looked like. Your videos are great and this is not a criticism but I am glad yall went from HGTV to let's put googly eyes on the trash can and build an entire counter top out resin that looks like a beach. Keep up the great work I am enjoying the vids and learning a lot.

*foreshadowing* Evan: would it be funny if I fell through the roof? Also Evan: *falls through roof*

Even after all this time and all the other videos your channel has made and the direction you’ve gone I still come back to this video with gratitude this is where you started. I literally love how well explained this video is and well formatted and easy to learn you made it. Long time subscriber, but just wanted to express appreciation.

One of the best videos on KZfaq explaining and showing what I want to do and how to do it! Thanks.

I was playing football in the house and ran into a wall in my house, resulting in a huge hole.😂 I searched this video and immediately went to the hardware store. I managed to patch the hole before my father noticed! It only set me back about $37 for the supplies, Thanks for the helpful tips and info!

Wow what a great garage makeover. I really liked the before and after comparison at the end. Great work and I can't wait to see more!

I watched this 4 years ago just cause now I’m watching it again to fix a 2x3 foot hole! Thanks E&K

Good, informative video. You two are adorable. THANKS for including notes in the video description. So many people don't do this but it helps so much.

Thank you very much for making this video, very helpful. I bought my first house and the former owner literally glued a painting over the hole in the drywall instead of patching it Hopefully, my patch job will turn out alright

So much more helpful than the 30+ min videos on here. Thank you!

Thanks for making this simple and very easy to follow. Side note, you guys are an adorable couple.

I think there are some awfully cute shots of you two at the end with the white tshirts on that I would frame for your kids! You two are adorable! 🥰🥰

beautiful couple, i can see that you guys are new to youtube and the production quality is already up.

Thank you for you DIY home repair and rehab projects. I'm a single gal and you've given me the info and courage to tackle some projects that are in desperate need of being completed!

Subbed! This video was exactly what I needed to fix a hole in my garage wall. 👍

I like the video! Pro tip for any future projects. Fill the gaps with mud before you put any mesh tape on. Then place the mesh and use putty knife to sink it into the mud for a more snug patch.

you have a fun little lady there! Thanks for tips on large hole.

Found your video looking for how to fix a giant hole in the drywall in my teenage son's room. I was pretty sure I could fix it myself, your video just proved it. Thank you for sharing your make over. Your garage looks great. Maybe after I fix the bedroom wall I will tackle making over our garage.

This is an old video, but for anyone reading this who wants to use oil paint over a large surface, cut it with a little paint thinner. It keeps the paint workable for longer and helps it all smooth out as it settles. For a large flat door like this, roll it out first and then brush over it vertically to make sure it's all even. For water based paint, a few drops of dish soap and a couple tablespoons of water will have roughly the same effect. Source: was a professional housepainter for almost 10 years

Awesome video. Because of you I can now fix holes in drywall, with no schooling whatsoever!

I really like how before each kind of hole, you list all the items needed.

A tip I learned from my grandma to keep paint and rollers/paintbrushes from drying out is to place them all including the paint pan into a garbage bag and tie it up. I tried it and it kept the paint wet for over 2 weeks.

Very nice video straight to the point easy to follow. Thank you for making the video novice friendly.

I have few things to repair our walls. I found your video about 4 yrs old late but, we found it. It's seem really good ideas. You guys very great couple and fun to watch. Thank you for your video. Lots of details and we love you show easy by step by step. Keep doing a good work. BTW, We decided click on subscribed and we here always support your Channel from now on.

We just moved into a new house and I wanted to run some cable through my walls. I never knew how to patch drywall and this video made it so clear! I'm going to go to the hardware store today and grab some supplies. Thanks for such a simple and informative video!

This video is so good. I just moved into an apartment that needed repairs on the walls and you guys explained everything.

I wasn't even looking for this, but it is genuinely helpful! My house has unfinished walls, so this is a life saver!

Best tutorial ever!!! Thanks to the simple and detail instructions you guys provided in this tutorial, now I can fix a large drywall area in my son's bedroom. God bless! 😊

Thank youuuu I have a few holes in my walls to repair today and that explanation was very helpful 😊

Dude Kicking in drywall is so fun. I had my dad cut a window size in the drywall in my old karate studio, cause we were helping to remodel, and I just had to do a flying sidekick to push it down. I got my foot stuck too lmao

This video was so helpful! Thanks for sharing all the tools/supplies you used! This is the best video I’ve found without all the fluff!

Thank you guys! Wife and I are enjoying your videos, keep em coming! We've seen some people putting joint compound before the drywall tape and then putting joint compound again once the tape is on. Apparently that helps with potential "bubbling" down the road. Supposedly it's better to do that in a room (garage) where temperatures can fluctuate easier. Just a thought.... not so sure how much it bubbles. Looking forward to more videos!

Dude thank you so much.. I had a HUGE hole in my wall -I put there in '06!- watched your video, got inspired by the simplistic layout of instructions, ran to home Depot .. and 5hrs later it's fix!

Great video!

I love how you guys are dorky and fun. Makes your videos fun to watch.

THAT PUSH mower made mince meat of that long grass. I had to re-watch that a few times. That was pretty impressive haha.

Really fabulous, simple and straightforward vid. Exactly what I needed - many thanks x

1:25 Use a 5 in 1 tool to remove more loose and failing wall. Prime. And you don’t need a patch for that, can use MH Ready Patch. Or mix up Easy Sand or the more durable and harder to sand Durabond.

I like this couple... they r tooooo cute Thank u 4 sharing

Thank you! This is exactly the tutorial I've been needing!!!

You guys are the parents I wish I had

Very cute video! Looks like some nice quality time together. ( that really is not the right way to tape an inside corner but live an learn )

You know... I'm learning that if I had found your channel a few months earlier, I would have been laughing with(totally at) you two much earlier. Hahaha! I love learning from you two!!!! 💛🖤

150 sanding block is the real MVP in this project

Omg you guys have come so far! Very happy for you guys!!

I do t even need to fix walls but it still is fun to watch your vids

Big holes 2:16 this is exactly what I needed

Someone fell through our garage ceiling... time for a repair!

You can put extra paint / brushes / rollers in any air tight containers…. You don’t need foil or plastic wrap

That's one fiiiiine woman! Lucky man

God I love you guys, you guys are the best couple I’ve seen for years

Good job and DAMN! that is a lot of work!

This was EXTREMELY informative!! So very helpful ☺👏👏👏

Totally adorable! 😍 Love the way you guys do your video.. professional edits and also very authentic and natural flowing content.. you guys must be working really hard to get this quality content and make it look so simple and easy! Warm hugs to you two beautiful souls 😍😇

Ok this might sound silly but we had a dear friend pass away when my husband and I were 19 or 20 we had finally had our own home but no tools so our late friends brother gave us a whole tool box like those standing ones with a bunch of drawers and the top detaches and he just let us keep whatever was in it and we’ve held on to all of those things since we got them at 19 we’re 29 now lol but there was a bunch if things we had no idea what they were used for and half the things you guys used are the things we have so thank you so much because now I know if our 3 and 5 year old little girls knock any holes in our walls we can patch it up! 😂 seems silly that we kept things we had no idea what they did or how they worked but now that we have finally become homeowners and our home we had built so it’s good to have things to fix issues that may arise 😂

Mad and smart people. I love that !!

I just finished painting my door (largely inspired by your videos btw, and also watching the front door makeover before for painting advice) and I spent hours trying to figure out what to do with my brush so I can pait the next coat tomorrow. didn't want to buy another brush or anything extra because I only have this one door to paint. I just popped the brush in the freezer, I hope it works!

Wow what a great and detailed video. Thanks!

I never thought repairing drywall could be so interesting. Nice editing!

I'm about 80% with my garage re-do. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Great improvement both of you

Thank you! Your instructions were very precise and I was able to patch a hole in my wall myself!!! Yeah✌

Really good info..!! I never knew about drywall corner tape..well hot dam!! I will b getting some 4 sure!👍 👍😁

Love you guys, you are amazing! And it's really relaxing to watch your work. Also just wanted to say that my cat choose this video while I was tiding my clothes.

Haha this came up in my feed. You guys have grown do much since this

A 'bendy' putty knife.....haha. I'll ask the hardware guy that and see what expression he has. Over-all this was a good video. Great job!

Video idea: go through your old footage and make a comparison between how it looked like before vs how it looks now. Plus, it is always fun to take a look in the past.

This is soooo helpful! The little one car garage in the home I just bought (also TX) looks exactly like this, peeling drywall tape and all. Excited to tackle this project now before I move in!

What a sweet couple!

Thank You Evan and Katelyn, I needed help on how to repair a big ole hole in the utility room. You all are great demonstrators and I love how you work together!! So glad I found you because I will reference for all projects now since I'm big on Organization! ;)

This is a great video

I like how he is sooo proud of the hole in his wall

I love how videos like this make it look like the project takes 2 days, then when you do it yourself it takes a month :D

A little tip for the drywall tape put drywall mud or compound on the corners or joints on drywall and then put the tape on, if not over time the tape will become loose from the corners or joints but love the vids keep it up!

Great video! Absolutely gave me confidence to do some drywall repair myself

Great videos, like how you went though from small sizes all the way up to big patches. For big patches, even with studs viable like in your video. I put in a couple boards between the studs and screw into that in addition to the side. I feel this gives it a bit more support than screwing only on the edges.
