    Working one -handed, holding a camera, up a ladder. I love it when people risk their lives to teach me stuff - respect.

    I’m a single woman with a ceiling that has a crack in it. I’ve avoided dealing with it because I just don’t want to pay somebody to fix it, but now that I’ve watched this video, I feel very confident in fixing it myself. Thanks!
  • @rubecork7102
    I didn't listen to this video, but I quickly watched it in fast motion, and I can vouch for the way he fixes this. This is the correct way.

    This is how you make a DIY” how to” video! Informative, easy to follow and perfectly narrated. Well done, sir! I’m off to repair the cracks in my ceiling.

    I've been a remodeling contractor in NorCal for 40 years. Your video shows that no matter how much you think you may know about the trade, there's always more to learn! Thanks for the tip about running a line perpendicular to the main crack to end the repair - I'll be using that technique on the next ceiling crack I have to deal with!
  • Bought a house in an Andalusian village in Spain earlier this years & it's chock full of cracks like this. Your video has given me the confidence & knowledge to bring it back to perfect condition. Cheers, mate. You've just earnt a new subscriber from the UK. 👍

    Absolutely brilliant 👏🏻. I've just bought my own home and I have a few 'cracks in my conservatory extension. After watching your tutorial in how to correct these cracks I'm actually quite looking forward to trying this myself👍🏻. Thanks and looking forward to more of your DIY videos.
  • Thanks Bill, appreciate you washing us how to do these things. This video will come in very handy for so many people including me. I've got a couple of cracks I've been a meaning to fix for years. Now I feel confident in giving it a go.

    An old Italian masonry worker showed me a trick to do away with the streaks from the larger scrapers. He said to Ben the edges in both ends up and when you load mud make sure to always use the opposite side of the bent edges. Perfect trick!
  • great video, great knowledge. I've been filling cracks in walls for 20 years or more, this technique is fantastic
  • @darlenewhite8622
    Contractors are expensive, now watching these very helpful diy videos, I can save money and get it done myself, I have leaking and a falling ceiling, from now on I,ll be doing all of them myself, thanks for sharing 😊.

  • Brilliant and easy to follow Video. Thank you so much. I have watched other video's on YouTube how to repair ceiling cracks this is the best. Thank you! Have purchased all items required as I have the same crack. My husband has terminal pancreatic cancer and is too sick to do this.
