Garden Room Workshop: Part 17. Tape & Jointing

Find the full series playlist here: https://bit.ly/2BiLSyC Part 17 of a video series about how to self-build a timber-framed garden room office (aka tiny house) in the UK. This video covers tape and jointing and whether it's worth giving it a go vs hiring a plasterer. I also get the room painted by the end of the video. 0:00 Intro 0:20 What is tape & jointing? 0:36 Mesh vs paper tape 1:13 Materials required & how to mix joint compound 1:59 Tools required 2:22 Tapered joints 3:06 Butt joints 3:30 Internal corners 3:58 External corners 4:32 Filling screw holes 4:51 Final layers of compound 5:34 Sanding 6:02 Cheat method 6:14 Final look 6:30 Drywall sealer 7:08 Paint! 7:33 Tape & jointing vs full skim plaster 8:25 Sloped ceiling 8:54 Outro The purpose of this video series is to provide all the information required for viewers to build their own garden room rather than just a montage of the building work. It took me months of research to learn everything in these videos so I hope to save people time and money. The videos are a mix of theory and footage of the build including all the mistakes I made along the way. I am not a builder or tradesman, just a keen DIY-er with some basic tools. Everyone can do this! In the longer term, I hope to turn this channel into a community for garden room self-builders.
