Very helpful. The processes described were extremely useful when I remodeled my basement. Thanks for all the good information and direction.

[@craig853]

Great tips, especially the one about using a 10 foot length on an 8' 6" wall. Saves having a butt joint= less work. Thanks!

A good video! I’m about to get very good at taping and mudding: I only see 4x8 sheets of the 1/4” I need.

[@AveIvy]

This was an excellent video on drywall. Exactly what I needed.

[@yapi85]

This guy knows his stuff

[@majorlifts]

Thank you, I am a first year apprentice and this was very helpful.

[@Smarpet]

Great video. Thanks for the great and IMPORTANT tips.

[@spelunkerd]

That's a very intelligent summary.

[@Firewalker688]

That was well done......screw the haters commenting on here. They are probably the ones taping 16 ft of rock vertical...or horizontal because they would use 4x8 sheets for 9 foot ceilings. Keep it up with the vids. Thx

[@Bigrush310]

Damn man that was the most informative and easy to follow video ive seen on youtube. Congrats. Not sure about the ordering of differenct lengths of board though

[@jabp03]

Great job! Thanks for the help!

[@adonicawilliams6573]

great video

[@gsf67]

Great Vid, where I am from, we tend to hang sheets vertically, however you have provided a great argument for hanging sheet horizontally. All this talk of feet and inches confuses me, will the US ever use the metric system, to me it is much more logical.

[@die-cry-hate]

I can't find the second part, is it uploaded yet?

[@unwin42]

Very good video!

[@yourmajesty07]

why not order 9footers for that 8ft3in wall?

[@ride2live2]

Different thickness" of drywall comes in several different lenghts. 9' isn't an option.

[@lukenorrie]

easier to use a 21" piece somewhere rather than a 9" piece

[@ejerome1664]

A tall man he is

[@Gasparaga]

[@Nightl3lade]

that nail head is going to blow out your drywall? wut.

[@poker4080]

Mark Peterson rumor has it that nail head blew out the foundation of the house

[@MarcoPollo77]

He is using an abundance of caution because he is training. In the field, that small nail would be hung right over, unless you are very particular.

[@jigaloe4nowatyahoo]
