Taking over a homeowners drywall job!

I should have said this in the video but showing only the homeowner's brief attempt to tape this really did a disservice to what he is actually capable of. Feel free to check out his channel and see what else he is building youtube.com/user/doppelpassorg

The man who never made a mistake never made anything.

Showing how to fix someone else’s mistakes is probably one of the best teaching methods. I really enjoyed this video.

probably the most calm drywaller Ive ever seen

I like this guy... he shows up in a black t-shirt and says, "Not today mud"

Ground rules... “just be kind”. Cheers to this guy for being a decent human.

Always a confident contractor when he can sling mud in a black shirt.

This is how you do a video about repairing a DIY job, no bashing, no talking down...awesome dude and professional

Pulls entire run of tape off a joint and still says "thats not too bad". You're a true gentleman 👌

At first I wondered why drywall a garden shed. Then I remembered you're in Vancouver, and this is a $1.6 million home.

Hey, you know what, they tried. They tried and found it wasn’t their cup of tea. Nothing wrong with that. Taping and mudding isn’t the easiest although VC absolutely makes it look that way. Plus, the best way to learn is to try something and by making mistakes.

I love the way you started this video by humanizing the homeowner. We all gotta start somewhere and I bet he learned as much as I did from watching this. Drywall is one of my least favorite jobs, but watching your videos has helped tremendously. My grandfather (RIP) would always remind me "we're not building a Swiss watch". Your advice to "leave it there" every so often has reinforced that idea for me - indeed with mudding you really do have to know when to fold them and leave things for sanding and/or the next coat. Thanks for making these great videos!

I love that all of us are so amazed at how kind and polite this guy is. He's literally just being a normal Canadian. This is just standard practice there (which is awesome). Which begs the question, what would it take for us to make this our standard mode of treating each other? How great would it be if this is how others spoke to us and how we spoke to others!?! Worth giving it a shot!

This is a real classy guy! Calling out the hate before it even gets a chance to happen! Good work man. Commend the guy for trying.

You are the Bob Ross of drywall and pleasure to watch.

You are an angel! I have a friend who has a home that he's always trying to DIY it and I try to remind him that there are plenty of guys like you on the internet who graciously share your gifts and talents with the world. As many jobs as I've done for myself and others I still feel like there is always someone who I can learn from on the internet....You guys are amazing.

As another DIY handyman can recognise a kindred spirit in the homeowner. My boss learned the hard way that I suck at taping and mudding.

I’ve showed up un homeowners miserable suffering drywall with tons of dust on the floor and I just started over and made them feel better by saying at least they had the backbone to try because only by making the effort do we learn. I could palpably feel the fatigue and depression in them. The older I got the less I looked to pick on others work.

Finishing drywall is an art form. I’ve built a lot of stuff over the last 20 years as a cabinet and furniture maker but I suck at drywall. Much respect to those who make it look easy

As a software engineer who watches an enormous amount of training videos and also someone that has dozens upon dozens of hobbies and watches a ton of like videos on those non-work interests, I have to say - your delivery and content is excellent as well as the right personality to deliver it. Love watching these.
