Most people are happy to do their best and caulk the rest. For me , that just won't do in this case. Here is how I chose to handle it.

    I've found that tearing down the house and starting over with the mistake in mind will prevent it from happening during the new build.
  • Use an oscillating flush cutting tool instead of the flat bars... that provides much more cutting control, doesn't fracture the drywall, and you end up with a flat surface to which to apply the casing. ...and it takes a fraction of the time with a fraction of the effort.

    I really appreciate how you don't edit out those moments when your camera guy offers advice, and when you make subtle mistakes. Very helpful way to produce a video like this. Thank you.
  • You get a hammer and bash the wall until the trim fits. Estimated time: 17.4 seconds.

    It never hurts to watch how others tackle common problems. Shared knowledge makes us better at what we do. Saves us time involved in the trial and error method. Hats off Brother.
  • @AdamDunne88
    Everytime I need drywall help, your videos appear, and your suggestions are absolutely gold. I also just want to say it's great that you leave your mistakes in the videos and speak to them. Helps me avoid the same!
  • @wuillians
    Or you could use your table saw to run a small channel in the back of the trim so it relieves the spot where the wall bumps out. That way you get full reveal on the trim sides
  • I appreciate your humble attitude and recognizing that you can learn even while you're teaching. Very important
  • @Brakken99
    Hey appreciate you being real about the hammer trick. Easy to forget stuff. Enjoy your channel, thanks for putting them up .

    I have a 50 year old home with a cement/plaster board combo for the walls. No wall is the same especially around doors. I was going to do the same thing on one occasion, but instead added wood strips to the door jamb. I then applied spackling prior to painting and you would never know there was strips of wood.
  • Vancouver, you are my hero!! I was having trouble thinning down the drywall in an area that wasn't flat enough for my tile job. So a big thank you to you for showing me how!
  • Love the fact that you showed us how even you guys that know so much are always learning too! Refreshing to see a humble pro!!
  • @julianevans5522
    When I have this problem, i plane the back of the architrave to create a rebate, because if the wall is masonry you can't easily chop it out
  • @badmofo350
    I go straight to the hammer. No scribing or cutting needed. The framers don't get the door and window headers flush with the studs because they probably build the wall with the interior face down on the floor, make sure the outside (that they have to sheet) isn't protruding out, stand it up and call it good.
  • Great tip! I just ran into this problem today while renovating my house and remembered I saw ur video awhile back while binge watch your channel, watched it again to refresh my memory and BAM got beautiful trim thanks to you! 👍🏻 love your channel man!
  • @mtobrien1
    Thanks for including the "mistakes" and aha moment like the cameraman's suggestion. Really displays your humility.
  • Archimedes said “give me glue and hammer, and a place to stand, and I can botch any job.”
  • @kylebanks4003
    My first time ever doing construction, my first boss taught me to never hammer tools with your hands. He said you will regret it when your old like him.
  • @baritone777
    Bravo for having the humility to keep the helpful filmer suggestion in the video!
  • All your videos are wonderful! Love the easy to digest straightforward answers that breakdown the basics to any given task while also showing some unconventional methods along the way. Your comparisons of techniques and approachable attitude inject that much needed confidence to push through any learning curves to master a seemingly impossible task. Showing your “mistakes” and “afterthoughts” is a welcomed touch that legitimizes your advice and gives permission to newcomers to embrace hurdles as the learning moments they prove to be.
