Yep, after a quote of $75k for a 10x 12 kitchen. We've been doing our own renovations.

Finally, I can give Jeff a tip. 😂. When opening those type of buckets, it really helps to put your fist in the middle of the top and press down as you pull open the lid with the other hand. Works for me anyway.

You're right about coverage on new construction. Redid my bathroom. Some tiles were 30% coverage during demo when I popped off the old tile.

Thanks to you I was able to finish my house, paint and renovate my entire kitchen like a pro. Your videos are the best, they really encouraged me to do it. If you ever visit Argentina, you're invited to dinner and have asado with us😂

Just want to say thanks! Excellent video (and channel) and detail. I have recently purchased a laser level for this purpose, now I'm even more excited to get going. Thanks mate.

Jeff I had the same kind of problems with the ceilings in my house. In some rooms they were sloped, in others they were wavy. It always came down to the crappy hand-cut roof trusses twisting, bowing, and separating from the wall top plates. In the rooms I renovated, I removed all the ceiling drywall (because it had crappy skip-trowel texture), and shimmed the truss bottoms until I got within 1/8" of perfect level from corner to corner. Installed new-construction light cans, slapped on new drywall, and the crown moulding looked picture perfect after. It really paid off, I could never get that aesthetic by cutting corners.

Hey dude, I just like seeing a guy build stuff realy well. Just like seeing the process of thinking through the doing of things. Appreciate it.

This is my first post ever, have to just shout out a huge thank you! Your videos have given me so much knowledge and confidence...you have also confirmed my suspicions and explained my frustrations in dealing with my contractor and his guys over the years. I now know why I have been so unhappy and why it is time to move on...even if it means just doing the bulk of things myself.

First time commenter, long time HUUUUGE fan of yours. I had 0, absolutely NO trade skills up until I turned 30. Now I don't mean to conjure up a sob story for the public to read nor do I want any sympathy but I had no Father growing up which leaves someone with a huge void in basic life skills needed to make life enjoyable and so much easier. Had no confidence in myself because I never could prove myself with no direction. At least until I stumbled onto your channel. First video I watched of yours was drywalling. MY GOD DID I MUD LIKE PURE CRAP! 😆 I put a layer of mud on my first wall a half inch thick and didn't spread it out like I should have. That and it was ridiculously thick. I didn't realize that you couldn't use drywall screws for floors and ceilings... 😕 Which I had already done... I didn't even know that the black screws were generally drywall screws. I thought screws were just screws. So not only are you teaching people something so invaluable, you're making the world a safer place also. Once I got the hang of drywall I desperately got back onto your channel and went right on to the next tutorial video of yours. It's funny when I offer advice to people on topics I've mastered from your channel they'll start talking about some other renovating skill I haven't yet gotten to yet and they'll be like 🤨 "how the hell can you have such good advice on hanging drywall but you have absolutely no idea what a neutral wire is? Better yet, that there are THREE wires when running electrical wire, not 2??" 🤔 I tell them the truth, that I learned it on KZread and they look at me like I'm just the definition of stupid. It may sound stupid but it's one of the best ways to learn about anything. You just really need to cross reference with the pros in that given field and definitely pay attention to the thumbs up/ thumbs down ratio. Sorry this was so long but I genuinely have to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me what my dad never did. The only (very trivial) complaint I have is go easy on the "wow what stupid thing the last guy did doing this". You have no idea how many times I've watched your videos and the critique your giving about how dumb the last guy is and it is the literal definition of what I accidentally did in the not too distant past 🤣. I'll feel such shame and feel like an idiot. Anyways, to state the obvious I'm definitely a permanent subscriber and a Jeff fan for life. Keep up the great work and I seriously hope one day you'll have your own TV show. ✌😎👍

Jeff, what is your opinion on using a product like Simple Mat vs adhesive for kitchen a backsplash? Thanks

Hi Jeff, thank you for this video, I'm planning a DYI kitchen back splash, very small and I'm nervous about it. Please name the tool that uses continuous rim blade, I'm really a beginner :)

Thank you for this channel, my family and I learn so much from your very practical, straight-talking tutorials. We are building a new house, but already have plans to lay thin brick veneer (2cm) over water resistant drywall, in the interior kitchen area only (the backsplash). We live close to the ocean, so rust accumulation due to salt in the air is commonplace. But there's so much information regarding supplies and how to, that we are getting a bit lost in the weeds. For example, mortar vs thin set vs all purpose construction adhesive (we're looking at the latter), should we be using wall ties, do we need a metal lath, etc.? Could you please point us in the right direction?

Dude you’re a wizard

Do you have a video on tiling halfway up a kitchen wall? I guess the adhesive and grouting would be the same but how do you finish it so it looks good?
