How come he's so clean? :-)

[AsktheBuilder]

@spacehopperballs Easy. He's a real pro that knows how to keep mud on the wall, in the bucket and just on the tools. But rumor has it in his early days when he was a drywall finisher grasshopper, he was covered head to toe with mud.

@xXsnitchyXx Thanks for your comment. It's pretty obvious that you didn't read all of the comments before posting yours. You should start to do that. Bottom Line: Only 22% of the people is the USA are DIY'rs. For any number of reasons, they have or want to do it themselves. That's who these videos are for.

If you're a pro, I can't tell because there's not one video on your channel about *finishing drywall*, then you might want to invest your time marketing your services to the other 78%.

This is a pretty good video... i finish also... but i do mostly commercial work so your methods would take much too long for me but great for a small patch or a few boards.

@NPwrestler103 Thanks. That's the point of these videos. To show people who have never done it the basics. I know there are other methods, I just show the ones that have worked well for me. No way could I do what you do every day. I'd go insane, so I appreciate the tough work it really is.

@irich62 Thanks for your comment. I hate to burst your bubble, but in *my* opinion, your comment is of no value. I went to your channel and there's not one video there of you showing us what you know. I'm constantly amazed at comments like yours. Do you think all of us won't immediately click to your channel to see how good you are, or in this case, aren't?

Thanks for this, man! Drywalling my first room ever and your video sets itself apart by being comprehensive and efficient.

can you put tiles on a quarter inch drywall wall?

It's been almost 20 years since I have done any finishing and now I bought a dirt cheap house that needs total drywall hanging and finishing. I don't have the money to pay someone else to do it so I'm dusting off my old tools and watching your videos. They are helpfull with reminding me of what I forgot. I'm working on finishing my first room now and your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you for taking the time to post these. Now I just need to to stop getting mud in my hair. LOL

Oh yeah your video is great! A 10" or 12" is a must when you are applying

drywall compound. Most owners use a 6" and frustration sets in thier heads

and they about give up.
