Jan 17, 2012 - Just watching how you work quickly but efficiently is a pleasure. In the past I have glued a second piece behind, then added the patch. Of course that way the defect is smaller, which is a plus for one less experienced in the final steps. But I can see how this method would be one preferred by a pro, who is not intimidated by a larger defect. Thanks again for going through these seminars.

I happened upon one of your videos about 6 months ago when I was looking for tips on how to mud and sand drywall. Ever since I've been a huge follower and fan. Easily, I put you up there with the great's...such as Bob Vila and Mike Holmes!

Feb 14, 2012 - WOW! I am honored ! thank you very much, I myself am a fan of Mike Holmes and learn a lot by watching and reading him. I have learned most of my skills though from self teaching and watching the great craftsman I have had a chance to work along side over the years and am hoping to help others.It makes me proud to hear such comments as you have expressed. Thanks again and please keep following, I also have a forum on the website if you have not already seen that.

Apr 30, 2012 - I call that a California patch. Good, informative video for diy's.One question, does location of damage determine whether you do a California patch or put something behind the damage to support your patch?

HouseImprovements Says:

Apr 30, 2012 - No not usually,but the size of the patch is a factor.If the patch is more than 5 or 6 inches in size than I would put in support backing.

May 2, 2012 - You are a genius. Great idea and I love that you wear your Canada hat in all your videos.

piddler51 Says:

May 6, 2012 - I agrre with the 5 or 6 inch patch and backing. I guess I would put backing in a doorknob hole.Heheh, I would still want to install a doorstop.

sugarbeth Says:

May 12, 2012 - I do the same thing, but I will also cut away the paper backing around the hole too, so that when you put the patch in, the paper on the patch is at the same level as the existing paper on the wall, and the mud really only has to fill in the gap between the old paper and the new paper. If that makes sense.
