Drywall for Beginners - what tools to buy Home Depot

Amazon has some other tools worth looking at→ amzn.to/2wWhaXG
This is another way to apply mud to tape→ amzn.to/2f56CPj
If you are new to hanging drywall, I will show you many of the tools and materials Home Depot sells and what you will need. It's easy to take on a new project and buy many tools you don't need. I made this video to hopefully answer some questions you may not even know you had. Of course, you can also go into Home Depot and ask someone, but it's always nice to have some knowledge first. Besides, it's great to be able to peruse the Home Depot isles on youtube at 1am in your pj's.

This was the simplest yet most informative video I’ve seen so far while researching how to diy some drywall in my house. Although seeing those prices from 6 years ago is about to make me cry 😭😭

[@jdubdoubleu]

Thanks for making this video. I'll be doing my garage soon

[@repairdrive]

This was just what I needed! Thanks

[@leonsapp7999]

Thank you. As I sit here adding many wrong things to my spreadsheet I came across your video! Perfectly timed and great video for someone who hasn't done drywall work before. Thank you

Very helpful, thanks.

[@DavidOnTheRoadGuitars]

This was quick to the point thank you. Simple stuff is what I needed.

[@exploringislivinglife9532]

Thank u very much for making this video really helped me u rock

[@Bloodsweatsawdust]

Great advice. I was looking for advice on transporting larger sheets in my small pickup and discovered that Home Depot delivers for dirt cheap!

[@ELIRAXPRT]

Blood, Sweat, Sawdust I just had an "outdoor" delivery where they drop it in the driveway. Cost me about $75 I think. Delivery into the house was $100.

[@robertcastillo422]

The best sand paper is the wet cut aluminum oxide sandpaper 120 grit sands great doesn't leave lines at all if you know how to use a sand Pole

[@renaissancemen1]

Dude!!!! I’ve never seen those strips. I will have to check for them next time at the Cheapo!!!!

[@81ALMO]

Awesome awesome beginners guide!

[@AdamDIY]

Al MO Thanks!

[@agee7777]

i like using the tray for the mud as you can add more water and sit it down easily. at the moment i am using a baking tray because they dont sell them in argentine and i had to make my own sanding pole which doesnt exist here either.

[@robertcastillo422]

I've never found it at Lowe's or home Depot why idk mayby cause it's great sandpaper

[@robertcastillo422]

You can get it at Ames or on amazon

[@jaspel681]

The fire code / x-type is twice as heavy as normal sheets as well.

[@kenlynn340]

I know you mentioned a sanding block for doing the inside corners but wouldn't the corner trowel be more efficient?

[@Brady.John87]

You didn't mention the rasp. That's the single most important took for a new guy to get close joints

[@Slinkysees]

Nor did he mention the circle cutter. Working production I'd hate to be without my Circle Cutter, Knife or Rasp. I mean my screwgun is my baby, but out of the simple tools those are the most important on a job site. Well outside a tape, but most people have at least an old one laying around the house.

[@charlyavila7168]

lástima estar lejos

[@ezbread14]

I’m working on a project for THD. Do you know what store location this is

[@robertcastillo422]

I hate to say it the screen mesh makes lines like crazy I never use that

[@Castellan_Chris]

Thats a nice home depot. The sheetrock section at the one I went to 80% of this stuffs all out of stock. So I had to buy plastic taping knives and a plastic mud pan =/

[@AdamDIY]

That is really odd. I wonder what was going on.

[@renaissancemen1]

Yell at the manager!!! My Cheapo is constantly out of stock in basic building materials.

[@realmattpcd]

Dont dip the dobber in mud to texture ceiling roll mud on with paint roller then stomp dobber head in that much better result

[@joylawes3591]

I'd buy some with pure gypson with less chemicals to eat

[@Gearz86]

just bought a 8' sheet for the same price as a 12 ten years ago lol

[@robertcastillo422]

120 grit black sandpaper works good too those mesh sandpapers are a joke even if you try not make lines it will make small lines in the mud your sanding which is no good

[@AdamDIY]

Agreed.

[@agee7777]

use paper tape on your butt joints as plastic tape is prone to crack later on.

[@drummerkidmorlock5858]

80 bucks delivered to same level now days

[@TripleWhopperWithCheese]

@ 2:40 you said that's 1/2" drywall. That was 1/4".

[@shannonmorris2217]

How much is 75sheets

[@MsEasterbrook]

Just so you all know. A good taper who is reputable, can purchase all the material at half the price you can from a wholesaler. NOT the Home Depot . They can do it twice as fast, with zero dust. They use dustless sanders that cost over 1000.00 and usually are flawless. Wise up and pay a taper who does it full time, instead of being gouged for your material, taking for ever to get it done, and looking terrible. Any good tradesmen worth his salt does not touch the mud, so this proves how tough it can be doing for the first time. It really is separate from all other trades.

[@AdamDIY]

I agree. I would say they can do it 20x or 30x faster than a novice. And almost always better results.

[@ELIRAXPRT]

I called a wholesale shop for the purple board. They were less than a dollar cheaper and couldn't deliver on a weekend when I needed it so went with Home Depot.

[@crunch9876]

Brook Anderson I agree with everything you said except material being cheaper. At least here in Los Angeles the profesional wholesalers who I buy my stuff for all types of construction from concrete, roofing, siding, lumber, flooring ect. Are always a lil more expensive than homedepot.

[@renaissancemen1]

crunch9876 true. If possible I always support the local supply house. Mine is minimally cheaper. But, they load my truck. Which is nice.

[@kavonwashington6563]

Good 👀I got out

[@Internet_Guy99]

*_Drywall_*

[@michelelanni9205]

Wow what a price difference between canada and the states on compouds Here a box of mud is 20$ today and in 2014 it was at arround 15 to 17$ a box and thats before taxes Canada wtf is wrong with you

[@michelelanni9205]

EVEN HAWKS HERE ARE 35$ BEFORE TAXES WTF

[@30smsuperstrat]

Over 100% inflation in 10 years

[@riding2nowhere]

First mistake, don't buy tools at home depot cheap tools they sell.
