We just had our living room remodeled and did the baseboards and caulking ourselves. Also we have to install a door under the stairs Your video on installing the doors in your attic room really helps. We bought a 24” wide door from Home Depot and we will cut it down to fit as you showed Thanks for your great videos. They are truly a help for DIY’s.

Should I pull the dryall off and reframe the overhead area of the doorway then add the arch plywood as you did? Hope my question makes sense. Thanks a lot love your videos!

So idk if you read these comments but I've really been learning alot from your videos. So I have a question about turning my textured wall into a smooth wall which you have plenty of good videos on. The only problem I have is I have bullnose corners. Do you have a video on A: smoothing out textured bullnose corners or B: how to turn a bullnose corner into a square corner.

If you use bag mud on vinyl, it won’t shrink so much the first time, and you’ll be able to fill it flat with the second coat, but we always add glue to the mix with vinyl.

If you were using the 3/4" bullnose edge bead on an arch, how do you finish/sand so that those segmented slots are not noticble? One would think that given the vinyl is harder than the drywall compound that when you sand to smooth, the compound would be undercut and leave those slots shining through!

Can you apply mud over paint? I ask because I am repairing a poor install in my house and it looks like they primed and painted over the mesh tape they used or maybe they sanded too much mud off and exposed the tape before they primed and painted but either way you can see the tape very clearly.
