My repair work starts differently …. I see a hole in the wall …. I go to Home Depot … buy drywall, spackle, knife, duct tape, paint, … don’t know how to carry drywall home so return it. Break it while unloading… suddenly realize that there was a deal in Lowes. Return everything and go to Lowes. OUT OF STOCK. Come back to Home Depot .. buy and go home - forgot the knife - go back … buy knife - wife calls to buy groceries while I am out. Buy groceries and while I’m there buy beer and wings. Tired now, I sit on porch and have been and wings. Head to the hole in the wall - wifey warns not to screw it up. Tension. Open spackle and drop it on carpet… google on how to get stains out.. clean carpet thoroughly .. it’s late night now will call handyman next day …

We are very lucky here in Barcelona. We have mini skips, 1m3 sacks, that you buy, put on the street and fill with renovation stuff. They are then collected by the company that sells the sack. About USD30 a sack. They are everywhere. So for picking up bits of plasterboard, cables, tiles, bricks, wood etc, they are a great source. If ever i need a bit of plasterboard, mdf (ikea etc) or tiles/bricks then i just go for a little walk! @@HomeRenoVisionDIY

Working on mudding for the first time and all the drywall videos (Vancouver Carpenter's as well, who you should do a collab with if you do one on drywall) have it going better than I expected. Hawk and paper tape and hot mud and feeling like I'm actually half way decent with the knife. The trowel though, man that is so much trickier to use than I expected but enjoying figuring it out little by little. We'll see how the skim coat I need to do this week goes, gotta get some paint of these walls!

When I'm concerned about adhesion or bubbling paper, I like to add Weldbond glue to my water. It's a multisurface PVA adhesive that's mostly waterproof once dry and dries clear. Its compatible with plasters and muds and concrete too. The patch is tougher and more flexible, paints better too. BIN Shellac BEFORE mudding also eliminates bubbling if there is exposed paper.

As a house painter, there were many times I would fix drywall where the door handle went through the wall. After fixing a hole a second time on more than one occasion, I started keeping door stops with me. I would install them immediately and charge the customer a nominal price. Nobody ever complained. It saved me a lot of work and the customer was happy when I explained why I installed the door stop.

That was a joy to watch now I will be able to confidently address that minor issue in the kitchen a badly executed patch. My biggest issue is cracks in plaster render on brick- these hairline cracks are unsightly in the laundry, bedroom and living room. Vibration from upstairs apartment renovations resulted in these cracks which I want to repair before I redecorate (paint) - do you have a video on plaster render repair?

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 9 ай бұрын

not yet but he system is quite easy. first spray the crack and adjacent area with killz. then patch sand and prime with drywall primer. take acetone to check existing paint. if it wipes off then you have latex and are good to go. if it does not wipe off then you need to prime the walls with a flat oil as a primer to transition from old tech to new tech. then you can sand and paint.

Cut square patch, trace patch over hole, cut out, put in 2 pieces of whatever for strapping and depth set, screw patch to strapping. There’s no bulge or paper wrinkles to try to hide. I used to do the California patch too but I think you’ll like these results better. Food for thought. Cheers

If I remember it correct the theory is that in winter we don't want indoor moisture to get to the insulation which causes condensation which then freezes

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 9 ай бұрын

up north we have to manage not just air movement but also moisture. if our water vapor can travel freely into the insulation then it freezes and builds up frost. ultimately it thaw in the spring but it will also be really wet for a long time causing mold to develop. Cheers!

If its the door knob that made the hole it will 100% come again if you fix it this way. You need to stick a big pic of plywood on the backside to prevent it from happening again. As large as the hole is alloving you to put in. And then give it some screws all the way over befor you patch it up. This here will only hold until next time the door opens up in the wall.

If you mix mud over a kitchen sink, make sure none of it makes its way down into the pipes. It continues to harden and can clog pipes. If you have a sewage ejector pump, even worse as it can clog and break the tines that remove the waste. And, if it gets into your septic, that could create major problems.

Super useful video after we bought a 1980's house that has these old intercom system in every room. Thanks!

My grandfather had those worthless intercoms put in when he built this house. Man those things are ugly on or off the wall. They leave a massive hole too. So far still covering the hole with pictures.

Many tks Jeff. I think I saw you first doing this about 3 years ago. Have used it numerous times since and many other people have copied me since! One adjustment I learnt, due to different plaster board here in Europe I presume, is that I lightly wet the paper, not the plasterboard nor the square, just the joining paper. I do the same with our plaster tape for the joints. This way I avoid the need for excess plaster and also have no bubbles after when dry. For the experts, of course there are many, why do you guys over there call it mud? We call it plaster. It is plasterboard, made of dry plaster. Mud for me and the majority of the world I would guess is when you have dirt and water mixed together. Would like to learn why?

Way back in the ancient times legit mud was used to seal holes in the buildings of the time. While the composition of the compound has changed, the purpose of it hasn't so I think the term has just stuck through the ages.

So three applications... you mix up a new batch of patching compound each time or can you keep the extra from drying out somehow?

@RICHat22 9 ай бұрын

3 small batches. The water is like an activator. no way to keep hardening from happening with easy mix

Keeping the paper is a new one on me. I'd still back up the edges on the back side with some flat bits of thin plywood. I want my patches to be as strong or stronger than the original.

drywall and paper is still drywall and paper. it is only strong if you don't bump into it. Cheers!
