I haven't seen drywall being nailed on in 30 years I've forgotten

[@derekrosecrans1361]

Two gringos hanging rock, what is this voodoo. Having been in construction a long time hanging rock is probably the hardest thing I've ever done and these dudes made it look easy, real pros. Try hold a full sheet of 5/8 over your head, set a tack, and nail at a weird angle is freaking hard.

[@chrisschultz6541]

When the mud guy IS the sheet hanger, you get much more attention to detail and a greater quality of work.

[@mattschoular8844]

The best way to learn to hang board properly is to be the taper on a poorly hung drywall installation. Always complete your task as if you are the next trade to follow....

[@pustuleous]

No bottles of pee inside the walls?? These can't be real sheetrockers

[@choimdachoim9491]

I liked leaving an 1/8" gap between sheets of drywall so I could force mud into that gap, which I figured protected the wood better than a thin layer of mud over a tight joint. To all you people thinking about doing your own renovation...notice that the ceiling goes up first. I've watch so many TV programs of people trying to install drywall and they always cover the walls first. You want the walls to support the ceiling all around the edge of the rooms. Notice also that they raise the bottom sheet on the walls a 1/2" up off the floors. Newbies always rest it on the floor which leaves a 1/2" gap at the ceiling.

Surprised they aren’t using a self feed screw gun

back in '77, I had just started my chiropractic practice. I had a patient who identified his profession as, "Flathead." "What's a flathead? I asked. "I hang drywall." He said. "When I am putting up drywall on the ceiling, I hold it up with my head as I nail it. That's why they call us flatheads."

[@thomasvincent9220]

The kid grabbing one screw at a time and not locking his trigger is really bugging me.

[@sovereignrebel1253]

Nails? Wow. Stopped using nails 20 years ago.

[@michaeldougfir9807]

This remins me of helping my future father in law install drywall in his downstairs garage. He was a diesel mechanic. Anyway he was a humble, quiet man. (Finally! I was helping someone do a construction actvity who was not full of pride!)

[@Bobg01012000]

One of the things I did before my contractor did the dry wall was to photograph all the walls. It gave me a good reference locating wires, pipes etc. for any future work.

[@marke3623]

Drywall guys are something. My buddy and I finished my basement and did most of the drywall on the walls. I asked a neighbor who does drywall for a living to help finish it. He also said he help with the ceiling. My buddy and I would struggle to balance the sheet on our heads and get a couple of screws in it. While we finished one sheet, this guy alone was throwing up full sheets, holding them with his head and hammering nails. I think he did 3 or 4 by the time we got one up. We just stopped because we could tell we were just in his way. We just followed and screwed his sheets. Impressive stuff.

[@quiescentnexus]

One more thing shows their experience: they go around obstacles using a single sheet with a cutout in it, avoiding joints that line up with corners. This goes a long way to prevent cracking in the future as the structure moves. See

You say the hangers did a perfect job, and from my seat it looks like they did. I must point out as well, from my seat as a carpenter who jas also hung a few sheets of drywall himself, it sure looks like your work is just about perfect as well. When a house it square plumb and true, the hangers have far fewer problems to contend with. The lines and cuts show up against the framing backdrop in this video, and while work is always work, I am ready to bet your hangers enjoyed working on your project due to your overall experience, the respect your trades applied (plumb electrical boxes and 90° plumbing extrusions etc.) and the pickup work you put in. Way to go, that was VERY satisfying to watch.

[@drew5334]

As a framer who has dabbled in drywall with my handyman business, I can say, it's way more labor and time intensive than most people think, and I have much respect for those who do it well!

[@johnderoy916]

With a father, and step father, and Uncle all involved in construction, and having spent a lot of summers working on all types of projects, watching these videos brings back such memories - I can close my eyes and know what each of those rooms smells like during each phase of construction - thanks for the memories !!

[@tothmihaly8066]

200 dollars a screwfeeder , try it guys , work easy with collated screws!

[@ardenthebibliophile]

As someone who is relatively new to being a homeowner it's been wonderful seeing the how's and why's for the construction process.

[@vevocack]

I'm so glad you clarified that green plasterboard is NOT waterproof! As a tile setter so many times in the UK I arrive on a site to be told there's no need for me to waterproof (tank) the wet areas, because the builder has installed green plasterboard already! They just don't get it!
