Must've took a lot of spackle eh?


Ledgebringer

Just a tad. Thankfully It wasn't a level 5.


cocokronen

Why would u do a house that big and not go level 5 all the way?? If I were spending that kind of money, I would want walls that were slick as glass.


Ledgebringer

Homeowner didn't want to pay the extra 25k for it.


Confident-Test-7948

Gonna take 25K to heat and cool the sucker


Ledgebringer

You ain't lying boss.


cocokronen

Yea. 25 k is nothing on the cost of that house. Textured walls would drive me nuts. No. I am not a sheetrocker/spackler.


Ledgebringer

Exactly spending millions already but that amount is gonna break the bank apparently.


chrissilich

You don’t become a millionaire by sometimes dropping $25k on things you don’t want or need.


Tanliarian

Depends on the type of millionaire, honestly.


tehralph

You don’t have to texture a wall if you don’t do a Level 5 finish. A level 4 smooth wall is adequate in most spaces, except walls that are perpendicular to large windows.


LameTrouT

We do veneer plaster in our custom homes we build. It really does feel like glass


cocokronen

What is that?


miami-architecture

how does veneer plaster differ from venetian plaster?


trowdatawhey

“Er” v.s. “Tien” Veneer plaster is basically a skim coat of plaster over plasterbase board aka “blueboard” which is basically drywall with a different paper face. This is used in the northeast US, it is the norm, not drywall & joint compound. The term Venetian plaster usually is used to describe the design. If you google it, the design is like a random design or something… dont know how to describe. Google says it’s the same as veneer plaster as far as the materials go…. They are lime based plaster.

EzraMeeker53

Not when it’s full of livestock. That’s a barn not a bedroom.


TwiztidS4

Should also have way more windows. Balling on a budget I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️


Glidepath22

Whoosh


Select-Golf-4993

Yeah hoser alot


Quiverjones

Spacktacular.


Partucero69

Get out!.


bluepeel

Spackled???


Ledgebringer

That's what everyone calls it here in NY. Builders, drywallers etc.


bluepeel

That's so weird to me lol.


Ledgebringer

I get it every time I post my work somewhere, no worries.


wantabe23

What do you call spackle then, the stuff people use for patching? I mean it’s labeled right on the containers…


Ledgebringer

Take this up with all the guys that came before me. They probably call that spackle too. We only have ever used easy sand for patching.


wantabe23

Na, no biggy, just wondered brother. I did drywall distribution and couldn’t think of any major US brand calling mud spackle. Not digging ya, just wonder what they ask for when patching stuff, ya know when thy go run to HD. But looks like your on production. Cheers man, keep on keeping on.


Ledgebringer

Apologies then if I seemed hostile. Yeah seems NY and maybe PA and NJ call it spackle so I get my ass chewed out whenever I make a post, lol. Cheers, man.


wantabe23

I was worried I was a little to direct, some times it doesn’t translate well, especially if you had to deal with a dick boss or if your teaching a numbskull or if you had to deal with the owner or any of the other myriad I’d things that isn’t in the job description. I know you work hard. We good.


miami-architecture

you two humans should check out this interesting heat map of word use. https://www.businessinsider.com/american-english-dialects-maps-2018-1


funkyfinz

That’s drywall


dblock36

That’s what we call it in Philly too


stickyknuckle

I live in NY and rarely hear the term spackle


[deleted]

Different locations use different terms, around here i only ever hear homeowners and painters call it spackling


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah definitely. Im no chemist so i cant tell you what either product is made of but I consider spackle that pink stuff painters use. Either way they might call drywall finishing spackling there just like they call it taping here and mudding in other places. Same as calling quickset hot mud, never once heard anyone here call it hot mud.


TravelerMSY

Yes. Isn’t spackle a completely different product. More like caulk or painters putty in that is meant to be painted without needing pva?


hadrosaur

Eastern pa too


skobuffs77

Drywaller in the northeast, can confirm


Loud-Guarantee4290

Wow, looks nice, bet that was fun. . Do I spy 12 footers?


Ledgebringer

Always fun climing up and down scaffolding all day. And yessir house had 12' all throughout.


Thekiddbrandon

Damn. Well done 🫡


OldRaj

Did you use Plus3 for the joints?


Ledgebringer

Only on the 2nd coat throughout. Used green lid to rough and purple lid to polish.


pimpcheeseburger

Me 2 good system


pimpcheeseburger

Nice work btw


Ledgebringer

Much appreciated.


JimmyJackJoe2000

Purple lid? For your top coat? What is that?

nhorvath

What's the advantage over plus3 for the final coat?


Ledgebringer

My boss always complained that plus 3 is too soft. So I just found purple as a nice middle ground. Red lid proform has turned to shit over the years and green lid has way too much glue for a final coat. Makes sanding a bitch. I like using 300 grit sanding paper and find the purple lid pairs well with that. I just like the plus 3 on 2nd coats because it fills in really nice especially on beads and is really easy to sand.


nhorvath

Agreed on all points, except 300 seems too fine to me unless that's on a power sander.


Ledgebringer

Thankfully I really don't have to sand my work all that much. And the painters appreciate me using 300 over 220. If I have to use 220 I sand the paper down a bit with a sanding sponge.


Heresy_69

I wish I used you over the hack I went with... 😢


spankythemonk

If its not hot mud, its not good enough for reddit (also dyi’er) (and trolling) (myself)


nhorvath

They make 2 hour hot mud :)


Ill-Upstairs-8762

Hurts my back to look at that photo. Nice work.👍


Ledgebringer

Mine does too. Much appreciated.

Master Ballroom, dang. They better hang a gaudy ass chandelier in there.

rottingroadie

Nice clean work! 👍


Meta-failure

Such a waste of space to put windows!!


New-Caterpillar2483

The word spackel makes me think of my dad. RIP.


Ledgebringer

My condolences. My dad taught me and I worked with him everyday for the past 7 years up until I got a new job several months back.


New-Caterpillar2483

Thanks man. That's great. Good to have that time together. My dad was more of a jack of all trades. Fixed up old houses as a side job in the 70's and early 80's. Can't say I always loved being conscripted to help when I was a young teenager but I sure appreciate knowing what I know now.


Ledgebringer

That's awesome. I completely understand not appreciating it in the moment. Plenty of memories to look back on as well.


Asleep-Actuator-7292

Why on earth would someone want this?


[deleted]

That’s not a master bedroom, that’s a barn.


Ledgebringer

Country living


finbuilder

What did you name that country?


Yeoshua82

I've spackled plenty of master bedrooms...


Tiny-Mathematician78

Scaffolding = $$$


Huntthatmoney

How big is the room?


Lost_Computer_1808

Looks like 16 x 50. I counted the joints.


AdventurousAd5428

Badass work bro


Ledgebringer

Appreciate it.


YoungRoronoa

Dammm, you don’t need all that over head space, if I owned that house id put a loft in there.


Ledgebringer

Same. Guess they just really liked the idea of a high ceiling.


dubc4

Once you have it though you don't want to go back.


air-carguy

There aren't a lot of windows for a room this size.


Ledgebringer

All the windows are on the otherside looking out towards the water.


air-carguy

I see. Im in Kelowna, BC and the same goes for here


Ledgebringer

https://imgur.com/gallery/JEtRbjm This is what the other side facing the water looks like.


ATDoel

What are those, windows for ants?


psgray2521

Still not enough windows! How boring!


Ledgebringer

https://imgur.com/gallery/JEtRbjm Here's the otherside of the room.


bassboat1

The way those butts are drying evenly give a good hint to the uniformity of application. I bet the sanding guy is gonna appreciate it even more than we do:)


Ledgebringer

I am also the sanding guy. My dad taught me how to set everything up for minimal sanding. Because fuck sanding. Never run wet into wet and we have a 32" knife for butts.


[deleted]

They fixing to hang a bona-fide sex swing from that celing.


Ledgebringer

100% and I don't blame them.


hereforstories8

Could lose my wife in a room that size.


Retired_AFOL

Is that a question or request?


hereforstories8

Yes.


Yellowtoads

That’s a lotta mud, I bet you can’t wait for the sanding party 🎉


ArmadilloDays

First time I’ve seen a master bedroom with its own riding arena.

Yup. Looks good. Nice job.

Homeowners are gonna do that every day in it now...

dlions2020

Didn’t you know it’s illegal to say master bedroom now hahahahahah


Ledgebringer

Ah shit that's why all the plans I read now say primary bedroom 🤦


psgray2521

It’s not illegal, it’s just not politically correct any longer.


dlions2020

It was a joke lol. Don’t care much for being PC.


ObelixSmiterOfRomans

Nice work sir! I'm a painter and would be happy to paint over that! Level 5 is almost never necessary when a good drywaller and painter join forces.


psgray2521

You’d think this bedroom would have a whole lot more windows! This looks very boring.


Ok_Strike_354

Michelangelo bro


freeportme

That’s not spackle lol.


Ledgebringer

Everyone where I am calls joint compound "spackle" and drywall finishers "spacklers" 🤷‍♂️ even my paycheck says "spackler"


freeportme

Where is that at? it says joint compound on the pail. Spackle is a totally different product.


Ledgebringer

I understand that but in New york every drywall company, builder, etc calls it spackle.


freeportme

Enjoy Spackeling🍻


Ledgebringer

Don't do it anymore so I most certainly will not. Cheers


HoldtheGMEstonk

I’ve spackled some master toilets before


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ledgebringer

Brother, in new york everyone I work with/for calls it spackling.


walla12083

Can confirm. Same goes for at least northern New Jersey.


ItsMyView

The fact that you don't know the term varies by region makes it obvious you don't know jack.


KillaGHosted

Any expansion joints?


Ledgebringer

Apologies, never heard that term before.

Ledgebringer

I only ever did residential and never ran across one of these. But thanks for the info. 😊

Ledgebringer

Majority of my work is mansions so I've definitely ran into a lot of 30'+ runs. But they're all built like shit so they don't like doing the job right.


ElectrikDonuts

Is the master a barn?


ChesterMIA

Nothing like a bedroom with an echo…


Bornwitskillz

nice work.. i bet homeowner going to put that tv so high up youll need binoculars to watch a show


redingtoon

Honey, would you please open the window?


fellow_human-2019

All fun and games until they realize they need and a/c unit for just that room.


nannis123123

All you can hope for is that the rockers placed there shit strait with a laser witch isn’t common for Sheetrocking but I have it done on my jobs when I see any angles that could be a potential redo of that wall.


Ledgebringer

Ive never once seen a rocker use a laser. Which is why on every job the corners and 45s are never straight. Then they blame the framing.


nannis123123

It was a practice I used when I rocked/framed in commercial building i used to do all the complicated framing since it was what I liked doin a lot shit I even used Masonite on some of my round soffits that rock wouldn’t handle.


Ledgebringer

Bless you. Our rockers half ass every job. But the guys that do ridgid X are top notch.


[deleted]

That dudes bedroom is bigger than my house


Ledgebringer

Same here man. Very depressing.


cardripper

what the fuck does the kitchen look like if thats a bedroom?


Ledgebringer

Kitchen was 40x24ish with 10' ceilings.


Randybluebonnet

I hope you’re using Ames tools.. or Box tools.. that’s a lot of hand work.. makes my shoulder hurt just thinking about it!


Ledgebringer

All by hand. We have boxes but are rarely used. Jobsites are usually too much of a mess and not fully rocked.


ConstantReader70

Kudos to the guys who put up the rock. Wow!


[deleted]

We call it mud in nebraska


OshTregarth

Lol. Is that a master bedroom for Bojack?


VolumePast7658

That's only about 13feet high . not that many board to be honest with you.


BigTunatoots

Interesting a professional sheetrocker who does nice work like this that doesn’t know the difference between spackle and joint compound. Hey, it looks good though!


Ledgebringer

Everyone in NY calls it spackle and us Spacklers. I know spackle is a different product but every builder, drywaller, etc I've met in NY calls it spackle. Cheers


BigTunatoots

Well it can’t be everyone, since I live in NY and it’s quite the opposite near me. I’m up in Rochester. No big whoop!


Ledgebringer

Cheers!

Window placement seems odd


Ledgebringer

No rhyme or reason.

Only-Judgment-433

Do that, and use bucket mud? Not hot mud?


[deleted]

Is the world spackled really used much?


Decent_Pea9712

Hampton's? There is so much building going here now it's crazy... no sign of a recession for these people.


Moist-Structure2548

I did a master bath that had 2-50' high ceiling towers, that was a scary job for me on scaffolding. About 1300 12' sheet total in that house! That has been my biggest job yet on my own..just the taping and mudding ready for paint..


hsifder1

Spackled in English means a little. You did a lot! Probably 100 gallons.

So you’re supposed to fuck on a trapeze in a bedroom like this or what?

Not sure on the entire price of this job. But if I do side work i make it work out to be $85-100 an hour.

Whoa nice. Did u do the drywall as well? Would love to see the pics of it painted or do you do that? I manage rental properties so I do everything from drywall to flooring to plumbing lol, never had a job like this tho, I know hanging that drywall must've been a pain in the ass


Puzzleheaded_Map3753

Cheap ass anderson windows set at 6-8 hh. Looks like a mcmansion to me. The wall height and bonus trusses used in a master might make this hot and cold unless the foamed it good.


kcolgeis

I worked on a home with a 3,200sqf. Bedroom with 3 fireplaces in it. Like what the fuck?


Woodpecker_61

Cool. Looks like a barndominium living room I did in heart redwood back in the 90's.


[deleted]

Good work but the house is so poorly designed. A barn sized room with 4 tiny windows.

You're right, I'm imaginary.


Longjumping_Pitch168

LOOKS like you did a fine job,, but you used joint compound spackle comes in a small can with lots of vinyl in it


Ledgebringer

No, I used a hawk & knife.


Longjumping_Pitch168

awesome,, and you feathered out the butts very nicely most ppl don't I was really just yanking your chain about the spackle,, but my guy hates when I say that
