Range Hood Duct Install | How-to | DIY Brent Darlington 2021-03-23 | In this video I show you how to hook up the duct work from a microwave range hood. It can be a bit tricky in the smaller areas to fit the duct. Check your manual for the proper duct sizing. Avoid using flexible duct. It causes too much turbulence and will restrict the flow. This could cause the motor to wear sooner than normal and cause more noise.Affiliate links below. I get a commission which helps the channel. Thanks!

DeWalt Drywall Sander Review DCE800 20V MAX Brent Darlington 2021-06-11 | I do a quick review of this DeWalt drywall sander. I paid for it , DeWalt has nothing to do with this video. It Is the DCE800 XR Brushless 255mm 9ish inch variable speed drywall sander. It has bluetooth and a quick connect that works with the DeWalt Hepa Vacuums. I will need to get some Youtube bucks before I can afford to get the vacuum so I had to jimmy an adaptor on the end so it would work with my vacuum. You don't need the bluetooth, so no worries there.

The BEST way to get the Mud out of the BOX? #shorts Brent Darlington 2021-04-20 | #shorts #drywall #taping I didn't know so many would watch a short on how to get mud from a box to a bucket. There are lots of ways to do it, so here's another way! Leave a comment below how you like to do it. In this video I show you one of the may ways to get the drywall compound out of the box in into a bucket. You want to get it in the bucket for a few reasons. The drywall compound needs to be mixed up with a bit of water to get rid of the air bubbles and get it smooth. You can't mix it in the box. The bag in the box will also get some dry chunks on the edges that will get into the mud. You can't get a smooth finish with chunks in there!

3 Ways to End Baseboard Trim - Returns Brent Darlington 2020-12-31 | #baseboard #trim #moldingAlways wear the proper PPE and work safely!Sometimes you need to end or stop baseboard or trim. I show you 3 ways that are commonly used to do that. I used 5 1/4" high x 9/16 thick MDF baseboard as an example but you can do this with most sizes of paint grade or stained wood moldings. I used miter bond to glue these together but wood glue will work fine as well.

Tape Drywall Faster with this DIY tool Brent Darlington 2019-12-01 | This is a great tool to build to make taping faster and costs almost nothing. Before I bought a super taper, I used this method all the time. It's easy to set up and easy to clean up. The tool applies the compound directly to the tape. You can pull a bunch of tape and store it ina an empty bucket. You apply the tape to the joints and wipe away the excess compound like to normally would for hand taping drywall.
