Watching someone else plastering/sanding is much better than doing it myself. Love your work 👍

Tim, ‘Patron Saint of patience’ As I plough on with my own DIY renovations, I always finish watching your vids thinking the same thing. Where does this man get his energy & determination from! I’m liking the sander, but must not give in to temptation!

Subscribed to the new channel, great idea to split the content although I have interest in both areas. I’ll be happy when you move on from the cabin to be honest😊 as it’s not relevant to what I want to see, it’s interesting to see but I can’t wait for you starting on the farm buildings….I’m sure you guys feel the same 😄😄

It’s looking huge! I really didn’t think you would have so much space in the trailers. It’s going to be a really comfortable home.

Boarded and jointed some new stud wall to an existing wall. Looked a right mess compared to when I boarded and jointed my garage.... so I plumped for an inexpensive drywall sander for about £65 off amazon.... what a lifesaver! Was almost at the point of calling in a plasterer to skim as it was terrible, but this flattened it down in no time at all, then a light skim over some areas and a re-sand - job's a good un! Best purchase made saving me a right headache! Since drywalled another part of the house and it was invaluable. Also used it on a painted plastered wall which had terrible imperfections, now nice and smooth and repainted. Looking forward to the new channel even though I am more drawn to the DIY side of things.

As a fellow DIYer I claim drywalling is the worst. In my limited experience sanding early is a mistake because you want your tape covered. The wax on, wax off approach when you sand just undoes your work. Use your 6 inch knife/trowel/etc to knock off any odd bits that dried and then use the dry second coat as a high spot to guide your knife in making a pass on either side. 12 inch knife will make a 2 foot joint that way. Sand after the 3rd coat to finish it. The good muders hardly need to sand it. That sander certainly saves you a huge mess. Wise investment

Good idea to start a new channel for the farm content. I love the DIY/Construction content but have no interest in running a smallholding. This way, everyone is happy 😊

A nail brush or a scrubbing brush with bristles about as firm as one, would be good to remove the plaster clogging up the sanding discs. It's going to clog up no matter what and brushing it will help. It might not be how you want to work but if you leave one partly clogged, it will effectively reduce the grit and not be as aggressive on the plaster. It could be the solution you're looking for. Alternatively, you could have a little success wearing down a couple of discs on some wood or stone to reduce the harshness of the grit.

You made this far more complicated and labour intensive than it needs to be. The pro taping and jointers i got in basically did one coat with the right tools then sanded once about 3 or 4 days later. Job done. Perfectly flat and smooth walls ready for mist coat. I fell in the same trap as you have when I attempted one room myself after watching videos online of the very outdated labour intensive "American" way. On a cash / weekend and evenings rate in 2016 I paid about £700 all in including materials for 2 guys to do a 7/8 rooms in a 3 bed house walls and ceilings. It took them about 3/4 of a day to do almost all of the jointing, another 1/4 of a day to comeback and do all the board end joints at 90deg to board edge joints - they had to wait overnight for the first joint to be dry so the wheals on their boxes didn't dig in to the first joint. Then about 4 days later when everything was dry they came back for 1/4 of a day to sand the whole place. Job done. This is how a lot of new builds are finished and obvs slot cheeper and quicker than skimming. Can paint a week after jointing unlike skimming. Edit: just found a video demonstrating the tools the guys used: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/raeCdqyXtrXJnqM.html Very similar to this except they used a mix of mesh and paper tape depending on the joint. This saved them waiting for stuff to dry. Still a shame how 99% of the videos on KZfaq are using knives and hawks.

Have subscribed to DIY Farm. Looking forward to the equally good content over there

Nearly there Tim and then time for the fun bits! It’s been great watching the progress and I have subscribed to the new channel for double the fun! Better than most t.v.! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧💕😊

That's a far nicer sander than the one I have. At one time I had the Porter cable one which Festool copied and made better... You use finer paper than you would expect. When i finally finish the house remodel that has taken too many years I will be selling or giving mine away. I can't wait till the day I never have to do drywall again. I prefer hot mud since the dry time is so short that I can sand it and reapply several times a day since I am so bad at it...

DIY Farm - Easiest subscription decision ever :)

Nice work Tim. Can’t wait to see the next stage!

Hi Tim, it’s looking great. You and Jo are a great team. I’ve put one of those drywall sanders on my wish list, Christmas is coming, I’m hopeful 😊 Also subscribed to the DIY Farm channel, looks brilliant. I don’t know how you guys cram it all in!! Keep up the good work. We love watching your progress.

I’m months behind but have you tried a sander cleaner? It’s a game changer for any belt or disc sander, it’s basically blocks of rubber, it removes the majority of clogging from the sandpaper.

One thing I hate about feathering out the filler is the horrible wavy walls that result. When I'm filling tapered joints, I put filler in the joint, press the tape into it, and then fill just beyond the edge of the tapers. When I sand it, I sand back to the edges of the taper that gives me a completely flat wall, and a straight transition between the paper and the filler.

Any updates on the progress of planning for the main house build/barn conversion?

Great job Tim, will be subscribing to the new channel love watching you guys achieve your dreams 😀 👍

Easy fill Is good as a non plaster I just filled and hand sanded, only had a smaller job next day used wall paper paste and 24 hour later paper was on. No problem

Subscribed. Thanks.

Try the toupret joint fill and skim ...awesome stuff it sands soooo easy even easier than easy fill

Nice work Tim

Just be careful when starting and stopping the sander and when putting the sanding head on the wall.

10:34 plaziflex is brilliant for tape and joint, it tapers out so easy with its flexibility

What are the lightweight panels you are using on the ceiling?

Subscribed and it looks great 👍👍👍

Subbed to your new channel too. All the best

Seems like so much more work than plastering, but needs must. Tim - don't forget your ear defenders, that sander / vacuum sounds deafening through my speakers let alone in person.

Where have you bought your fram please?

Good news on new channel. I'm subscribed.

I hate the 400000 different hose sizes and adapters and it is hard to even buy the correct adaptors with internal and external diameters listed As close as I have come to Festool sander sticking to the wall. I can say the Festool hand sanding block sticks so well you can’t move it along unless you turn the vac down due to suction! Great for minimal dust inside repair situations Good luck with the new channel

👏🏻Great news on your new channel…just noticed your not far off 200k over here! Must go have to do some subscribing 😉🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕jane

I have the same sander, but can't find a mesh sandpaper that fits it. Can you link to where you purchased yours, please?

Where are you getting kitchen from?

Hmm, but without full skimming at least very very thin layer, there is a chance, that will bi on daylight visible areas our drywalls, where is plastered where not,(paper -matt, plaster not). Not sure how is now these days, very thicker paints etc.

I've subbed to your new channel

Moany Perfectionist Tim Vs Voice-over Tim? MPT every time.

One coat of filler and lining paper? Probably a stronger finish aswell

Ah sorry but that is just a ball ache, filling sanding, filling sanding. It's easier and quicker plastering for me

👍

Is this your full time job now?

Did he every explain why the house is being constructed inside a WWI style trench?

So, the man does have an achilles heel ...plasterboard stopping ! Should invest in some taping knives if your trowelling skills are a little rusty

Why are you still buying tools when you're sponsored by a hire company? Surely for a tool that you're only using for a short time, borrowing would be perfect! Good luck with the new channel :)

A mask needed, surely?

Subscribed to the new channel, and loving these videos 👍
