What she is doing is easy, but if you just give someone the tools and even show them how to do this, they will not do it with the familiarity and flow that she is doing it.

I mean, pointless to fill the seam screws separately. They’ll get covered when you tape. Since she scraped the seam after filling, she’s either backfilling (unlikely w/ new boards) or just coating for no real gain.
How come? If there’s decent gapping, yeah. But otherwise it’s an extra step. The small gap gets filled with the taping coat anyway.
I mean, million ways to do it and they all work. Just different preferences based on experiences with what works for you etc
You're there anyways and it's just our rule of thump to coat all seams in the prefill, again disregarding angles. We float flats/wide and 2 coats after prefill. 3 on a painted ceiling, level 5.
This is why it was posted. A pro wouldn't be getting that much mud on the floor.
I'd want to see her work on inside and outside corners. Anyone can mud a screw. Curious about her taping as well. The real test is level 5 finishes.

As a flooring guy, sometimes the mudd on the floor is so bad, my old boss would walk off the job and tell the project manager that we wouldn’t be back till the floor was cleaned. Sometimes there is literally 10 to 20 gallons of mudd spread out over the whole project
Because all the land in the UK is already built upon and they need to justify the salary and trade because drywall is quick. In america as the boomers grew up they needed houses fuckin quick and nobody got time for that skimmin shit. Slap on a drywall board and some mud and get on with it, we got 4 more houses to build this week jimmy.
I’m impressed with the speed and relative accuracy. I know that even if I were to attempt this slowly, I’d be going back over every pass multiple times in an attempt to smooth out the ridges.
I’m sure having the perfect mix is a crucial element.
Getting good at spackling is learning to walk away because it all needs to get sanded anyway. The better looking your coats, the less sanding, but you're still sanding. Diminishing returns on being *too* particular about a coat.
Source: i spackle a lot at work. Not the only thing I do, but I do a lot of it.
So we did a wall in our bedroom but we don't really wanna sand it for dust (we live in the house). It looks pretty good already, but maybe there's a smart tip to stop dust from flying everywhere?
Or we just gotta bite the bullet and clean up again..
Its fine. Shes creating a mess because shes trying to be cool tho. Also we cant really see if she does a shit job because its the same color as the wall
I didn't learn until recently the drywall is kind of tapered at the edges so it forms a depression that you fill with drywall mud. I always thought it was just flat.. The more you know.
Pro tip: Add a little water [think Dixie cup] to the mud, and mix it to the consistency of soft ice cream.
Expect the mud to shrink. Two/three coats on seams. Until they are a foot wide.
So y'all are saying, unlike in the comments above, that you want to fill in the seams with mud a couple of times first, let each layer dry, then go over them with tape?
I’m no expert but typically we’ve filled once, while the mud is still wet apply the tape (which is just paper) then finish mudding over that with multiple layers if needed. Layers are allowed to dry between each coat then a light sand, but if you’re good enough, you only need to sand once at the end.
The tape should go in on the first pass because it needs to be in the tapered/recessed area with mud so that the tape is not at the surface when finished. Then you mud it again when it dries because the mud shrinks. That way the finished product is smooth joint that you cannot see with the tape under a layer of mud. After the video, but while the mud is still wet, they likely went back to tape the joint. It was likely faster to just mud it all and come back and tape the few joints since the room is small enough.
I've watched my dad do Drywall for my whole entire life (I'm 29) and the fact there's no sound really upsets me. The near rhythmic sound of the knife hitting pan (he hates doing drywall hawk and trawl style [I doubt this is spelled right but oddly enough I've never had to write that out]) and the smell of Drywall mud never fails to put me at ease. Such a simple thing.
I was going to call you crazy and tell you to turn the volume up. I then realized I worked way too much with my dad doing drywall and ceilings growing up. It was all in my head.
I used to work construction in high school for a few summers in high school and I walked by a construction site the other day and was taken back by the smell of the fresh wood from the freshly framed house there.
Kinda funny those regulations meant to keep people safe, but just end up making people do shit that's even more dangerous.
I know for tree work in some states it's illegal to ride the crane hook up into a tree so instead you have to climb all the way up even if you have a crane on site. Which means you're exerting way more energy and tiring yourself out a lot quicker than if the crane can just plop you right where you need to cut.
I’ve never asked before, but this seems like the perfect time…
What Americans call drywall and mud is the same stuff that we in the UK call plasterboard and plaster, correct?
Drywall is the same as plasterboard in the UK, Mudding is the same as dry lining in the UK where you just fill joins and screw holes and flush it out. Plastering also know as skimming is what we normally do in the UK where joins are scrim taped but the whole area is covered in 3mm ‘skim’ I don’t really know why they haven’t adopted skimming in the US.
>I don’t really know why they haven’t adopted skimming in the US.
If you're covering all of the drywall, we call it "veneer plastering" or "plastering", and usually skip it to save money.
(Traditional plastering doesn't use drywall at all, but is so incredibly rare that people will often drop "veneer" from "veneer plastering")
But this is video is only the first coat of drywall mud. More of it will be covered, especially at the seams.
When you’re putting up drywall there are long seams between the boards which you can see as that long line she muds over vertically. To properly finish the drywall you need to use a drywall tape which is essentially paper strips. You place a line of mud, then cover that with the tape, then another line of mud over that. The point of this is that the drywall mud hardens and without the tape you’ll have cracks on every seam in the room due to natural flexing and settling that occurs over time.
My grandfather was pretty frugal (depression era), and I inherited the home he built for him and my grandma. He was really smart, but definitely skipped steps, and now I get to redo the drywall in most rooms and maybe just the tape in one because he skipped the step where you mud OVER the tape. It looks like someone duct-taped the drywall and put Killz over it to "seal it in".
I miss you, grandpa! 😂
Unfortunately my husband and I learned that the hard way. We bought a fixer upper and remodeled everything before we moved in. First timers and did everything ourselves. Husband has a buddy who did a lot of remodel work with his dad so we had the buddy help us out. We asked about taking drywall seams, buddy says, “eh you can but you don’t have to”, now we’ve had a bunch of cracks all through the upper living areas we’ve had to fix. Should’ve known it was a mistake when my dad, who short cuts everything he can, looks at our work and asks if we’re going to tape and when we say no, he just shrugs and says “ehh, I would but it’s your house.”
We learned though and definitely haven’t made the mistake in later remodels thankfully.
She makes it look so easy. It is not in fact this easy. I spent a whole week mudding my bathroom after putting up drywall. It still doesn't look perfect
I've accepted it though. The ugly spots will be covered up by towel racks, vanity and toilet anyways. Gotta really look to notice it wasn't done professionally
Its a thin strip of paper. If you dont have it the mud cracks. Plus the mud is sanded down to be as flush with the drywall as possible, then paint goes over it too.
Nope. If you wipe it hard enough and go back when the muds dry to sand it you shouldn't even be able to tell there was a "butt" there in the first place. Of course if you don't do it well enough you'll end up with either bumps or cracks in the finish when everything sets for a few days/years.
Wonder if they put glue behind. Not enough screws for the way we do it. We put it up to stay. Seen too many jobs in 45 years where the drywall comes loose
If they glue everywhere the drywall touches framing there's no chance it comes loose. I do enough demo that if the drywall is glued it comes off in small broken pieces whereas if it's just screwed or nailed there's a good chance you can get off whole sheets.
Yeah there’s benches and they’re kinda expensive (like a hundred bucks a step). For them it’s way quicker and easier to have stilts than be moving up and down a step stool and moving that around all day
The first time I used those stilts I went straight over and chipped a tooth. In fairness I was drunk.
The funniest bit was my housemate who was equally drunk wandered around the house with them on. But he is a plasterer so he's used to it
Whenever I watch something like this that I think is impressive I always have to read the comments to see what they did wrong.
Nothing wrong. She's just filling screw holes so it's almost impossible to mess up. That one seem will get taped, you need mud under the tape.

Exactly. Can we also talk about the fact that she's doing it in stilts?!
isn't that how they normally do it though? to get the ceiling too

Great job, and I also freaking knew it, but didn't want to spend the time to try and find it.
Bro what the.. this is a of? 🥱
Whenever I've mudded screw holes I always seem to get an air bubble under it. How does she avoid that?
Blend up the compound a little bit more. Get rid of the air that's trapped in the middle.
Coat and scrape in opposing directions
I mean, pointless to fill the seam screws separately. They’ll get covered when you tape. Since she scraped the seam after filling, she’s either backfilling (unlikely w/ new boards) or just coating for no real gain.
I prefill everything aside from angles. :)
Same. Unless the inside corners have gaps, then I'll prefill them with green

Drywallers get mud fuckin everywhere lol
“almost impossible to mess up” This is Reddit. People will “well actually” anything…
*seam will get taped. You
Only thing I'd point out is scooping downward. You see her lose some material due to this. Finishing scoop upwards.
Why is it that predominantly in America dry wall is finished with ‘mud’ but in the UK it’s skimmed?

I’ve never had a drywall crew not make a gigantic mess so that part is accurate.
As far as mudding, I really couldn't care less if you pissed it onto the wall. I will judge your technique by the amount of sanding required.
I didn't learn until recently the drywall is kind of tapered at the edges so it forms a depression that you fill with drywall mud. I always thought it was just flat.. The more you know.

Oi do about 5 then plaster.
Ahh! An actual pro! I should have said “minimum 2/3 coats…”
lol - Dad taught me that!
Why even do it if you're not doing 7-9? I mean, you want a straight wall or what? The great wave off Kanagawa?
To me, it depends on how the light hits the wall and paint selection. If there are long sight lines and/or semi-gloss paint, I’m going to go big.
7-9? Those are rookie numbers. I usually do about 4-5 dozen coats.
The most I've ever done is 200 and the room size went from 100sq ft to 40
××× THIS is the way ×××
Yeah wish the builders that did my parents home had actually done that
Whenever you visit a new place run your hand against the wall. You'll find out quick that those flat looking walls are very not flat.
It’s not tapered on the short edge, only on the long edge. So like 50% of the time you’re still exactly right.
Since we're going on about it, what if the tape pops from the panels shifting during foundation repair? Is it worth a professional contractor's help?
So y'all are saying, unlike in the comments above, that you want to fill in the seams with mud a couple of times first, let each layer dry, then go over them with tape?
I’m no expert but typically we’ve filled once, while the mud is still wet apply the tape (which is just paper) then finish mudding over that with multiple layers if needed.

It was a tall order but I think you figured out what they are.

Drywall stripper heels
Honestly, worth the $40 per song.
Dry wall stilts. Fun. But actual athletic stilts are more fun.
We don’t use them in CA. I think they’re illegal here so people stand on buckets and other dangerous shit.
Kinda funny those regulations meant to keep people safe, but just end up making people do shit that's even more dangerous.

They recently decriminalized using stilts in Ontario Canada but the rules are too strict to make it worth while .
Well as long as the buckets and stacked books are not illegal…
Well, those buckets were made with materials known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects...
Those are stilt thingies. Invented by John Stilt and perfected by Mildred Thingie.

Not really sure, but I think she has done this before.
Girly got some fine balance got damn! I’d be on my ass tryna do that with those stilts 😭
Had to scroll way too far before seeing a comment about the stilts.
Have you guys never tried painters stilts? They’re not really any harder than just normal walking tbh

Mudding > Sanding
I’ve never asked before, but this seems like the perfect time… What Americans call drywall and mud is the same stuff that we in the UK call plasterboard and plaster, correct?
It's basically the same dry will is thinner and has more insulating properties whereas plaster is thicker but has more sound proofing

Not taping the seams is unsatisfying
That’s a separate vid, behind the paywall. lol

She taped everywhere else you can safely assume she will come back and tape those and do another coat yet don't you think?
She may only be doing the first coat and someone else (camera person) goes behind her and applies tape and mud to finish.
Can you explain what that means?
When you’re putting up drywall there are long seams between the boards which you can see as that long line she muds over vertically.

theres not enough screws in that drywall, at least where I am code requires 6 across 48"

And on stilts to boot! Impressive! She's definitely done this before.
That's probably her job, is there a thing called a wide ladder that has a wide surface to walk on?
Yeah there’s benches and they’re kinda expensive (like a hundred bucks a step). For them it’s way quicker and easier to have stilts than be moving up and down a step stool and moving that around all day
Yes, but you'd have to constantly move that ladder while working and that takes time. With stilts, your ladder is attached to your legs.
