I just bought a tuff shed and i love it.

[@Everythingfreshandsassy]

The way these workers move ALWAYS AMAZES ME! Can we also have a standing ovation for them working upside down on the ceiling AND WALKING ON STILTS! AHHHHMAZING!!!!!

[@britneyfuentes1444]

Looks amazing! It was so cute when my dad came home excited because of the Facebook video you posted of his work, and he is even happier with how your KZbin video came out. Thank you for giving them a chance. We appreciate you!!!

[@ThriftDiving]

Awww, hey Britney!! Your dad mentioned you to me when he saw my camera! I think he was saying you bought a camera, or had a similar camera...? Your dad was awesome and I loved working with him. I will definitely hire him again for another drywall project. :) Tell him I saw hi!

[@docdoctme]

You are blessed with a hard working father. If I lived in her area he would have my business. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@PhosphorAlchemist]

Hanging drywall is minimum 2-person job, especially overhead. It looks like when they were hanging against the tight insulation, they really needed all 4 guys pressing up on it to hang each piece. It looks like solid work. Excited to see the finished product!

[@ThriftDiving]

You are correct! The insulation really make it difficult for them. The plastic, too. Rockwool with a vapor barrier isn't something they usually encounter so it made it more challenging. But they did well and worked around it!

[@dennisehileman7592]

My husband and I were in business from 2000-2012. I am not an expert but I was an employee that did the work also. My husband and the guys were the experts. Santos Drywall did an EXCELLENT JOB!! The technique was spot on! Seams won't crack or the pieces above doors as long as it is taped and mudded properly, which was done exactly correct. I was so amazed at all the new tools, roto zip especially the sander. The worst job ever to hand sand!!! People will always criticize, it is more of not educating the expertise of a trade. Of course hands on is all the tricks of the trade that a book or video cannot teach you. So congratulations the She She'd looks AMAZING!! 👏👏Santos Drywall!!

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you so much, Denise!! Glad to hear from your experienced opinion that everything looks great. I think it looks wonderful, too! They were so much more efficient than I ever could have been. Thank you!!

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Here's my 2 cents regarding the seems on the doorways. I was told bye someone I trust very much that most cracks are generated by air pressure moving around behind the walls. Your shed is insulated & buttoned up so tight that I don't think you'll have a problem with it cracking. And lets all be honest with each other.... drywall cracks all the time guys!!! LOL!! I give them a 10 out of 10. From what I see they did a bang up job... Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!! Drywallers are a completely different animal all together!!! They have my RESPECT all the time!!!

[@karenbrindley7170]

That was money well spent and the space is looking awesome and spacious.

[@ThriftDiving]

Agreed!! Take my money, drywallers, please! 💰💰💰 😂😂😂😂

[@gkl2012]

While building a house I helped with the drywall.....I would pay someone whatever they wanted to keep from having to do that again. Of all the jobs I would hire for when building it would be the drywall.

[@ThriftDiving]

Hahaha, see!!! You have just proved my point. 😂 But you can at least say you've done it once. Haha. I feel that way about insulation! Now I know why my insulation delivery guy told me he would never do insulation again! 😂

[@nyclexi]

It looks great! They did amazing work. I was expecting the cost to be higher.

[@ThriftDiving]

You know, after seeing all that, I would agree with you! 😂

[@Sandy-bi3jf]

Wow Serena, your shed is looking fantastic. Lucky you, your videos will be so good in your new shed- much better than your driveway or garage.

[@ThriftDiving]

Thanks, Sandra!!! Exactly! Working outside, I was at the mercy of bugs, daylight, sun beams that over exposed or under exposed my filming....and in the garage, it was dark, dreary, cluttered....I am really hoping to eliminate all of those issues within this space.

[@_JanetLouise]

Yay Santos Drywall! Yay teamwork! What a Great Space!!

[@ThriftDiving]

Yes they did!!!

[@kmrolland67]

Amazing and honestly the price for the dry wall company was really good! Cannot wait to see all the progress. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@derrickpatrick1206]

You made an Excellent decision in having the drywall phase of the project contracted out to professionals. Their work looks very good which also saved you time and energy to be spent towards the next phase of the project.

[@alidasatalic4927]

Those guys did a great job!!!! And so fast!!! Looks fantastic!!! I want a she shed....jealous!!! Very nice!!

[@janetwalker3541]

Wow, those guys did an incredible job! I can't imagine doing that for a living! A friend of mine husband did this for a living, unfortunately he died of cancer, due to the hazards of the job (breathing in all the dust). I hope they take care and wear masks more often on the job.

[@docdoctme]

Everything is looking fabulous! Drywalling is no joke and I’m glad you outsource this job. I watched many KZbin videos and they make it seem so easy. Not! It requires skill and it’s very messy. I look forward to the finished product. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@havefun1796]

I just bought a tuff shed and its awesome. Yours is so much better than mine.

[@ThriftDiving]

Hey, hey, no comparisons!! :) I'm sure yours is beautiful, too! It takes time to really make them your "own." I still need to do something to make the inside look organized and "put together." It feels like a mess like right!

[@hardknocklifeentertainment1059]

This looks amazing and everyone did a GREAT JOB!!!!

[@bellaszucs-zagoni9014]

Wow, those guys move like dancers with a spatula! I have used a spatula for many things in our apartment for years, but I am not that graceful, haha! Love your shed!

[@ThriftDiving]

They were definitely making it look easy! I would have made a terrible mess of it all, I'm sure! Lol

[@judges144]

You and the drywall people did a great job. Thank you for sharing your talent in the building field. Santo's company did a wonderful job!!!

[@evelyneca7454]

So cool. I love seeing all the steps. It's amazing how much work it takes but the result is beautiful! I've also never seen the stilts they used to walk on before but it's so handy and clever!

[@ThriftDiving]

I loved seeing all the steps, too. They worked so well together, moving effortlessly (well, minus the effort my insulation and plastic caused them, LOL). It was a joy to watch them.

[@SuperDuperBrit]

I forgot that you were in the Northern VA/Washington DC/Maryland area until I saw the 703 area code on the back of their shirts, hahaha! If my dad ever needs some drywall work done I'll have to mention these guys! Looks like they did a great job!!

[@britneyfuentes1444]

Thats my dad! Ever need anything don't hesitate to reach out (:

[@ThriftDiving]

Yes!! They are located in VA! Please do contact them if you need drywall. I think they typically only do the finishing of the drywall with tape and mud but if it's a small job, they'll do the hanging too.

[@andreawalker7138]

I think you saved yourself a lot of time and possible frustration by hiring the drywall crew. I can't wait to see the shed finished, it's going to look great.

[@mama-cant-dance]

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

Smart of you to have it professionally done. Such a huge job that turned out well.

[@soriyazz]

Talk about a team working well together. These guys did an excellent job

[@ThriftDiving]

My goodness, yes! Two of the guys were taking exact measurements, and Santos was cutting, and the other guy was supporting/cleaning up. Then once it all was up, they each broke out into their roles. So well done!

[@Lynker]

Wow, they did an amazing job!! Can't wait to see the painting and floors!!!

[@sumayah6025]

Love it. Very beautiful and satisfying to watch them work and seeing the finished product.

[@ThriftDiving]

Thanks, Sumayah!!

[@sedrickcook9965]

Your attention to detail is impeccable

[@ThriftDiving]

This is such an amazing comment, because when I got fired from my "day job" back in 2015, I was cited as having "very little attention to detail." HA!!! I guess things do improve with age!

[@ChristianRobinson]

Im in love with you..... the voice, the personality, the skills, the cuteness..... the creativity and those lovely eyes! a cutie to boot.

[@axgoat]

I'm sure that she's on the same page! 😅

[@Sunshinelady]

This is so exciting and I think the cost was amazing for all the work they did! Right..! Can’t wait for the next episode!!!!

[@ThriftDiving]

I agree, Pamela! When you see all the work and the results, you realize it wasn't quite so expensive after all! :)

[@Sunshinelady]

@@ThriftDiving absolutely!!! I’ve been researching a pre-fab structure for my garden shed and would love if it could look similar to yours. On a smaller scale though. Lol. Although I love everything you’ve completed (very, very impressive!), but my favorite part of of the shed (other than the size, skylights, electrical, etc…Lol) are the outdoor dawn to dusk lantern lights!!! I know, but the little things are sometimes the most impactful. LOVE, Love, love your work!! 🪚🔨⭐️

[@judyellen4412]

I bet you are excited with how things are coming along. It is looking so nice. Only a woman would retape the sky light vapour barrier where it had been cut, while the crew were still working. I thought that might have gone over like a lead balloon. You got guts! I love it! You go girl or should I say Woman!!!

[@ThriftDiving]

Thank you!! I am excited that it's coming along! But I'm also getting worn out. LOL. I'm soooo ready for it to be ready to move things in. Right now, just finished priming and painting, and I'm trying to figure out the flooring options. I just want to have my office set up in a corner so I can write blog posts and edit and take a break from working ON it and just work IN the shed! LOL And yes, I wasn't going to let that vapor barrier go unchecked! LOL

[@Sammiecakes21]

The shed is coming along nicely… I need to have your skills💪🏽. Can’t wait to see the finished product and what you will be making in the SHE shed.

[@ThriftDiving]

Aww, thank you! I'm still always growing my skills, but that's the fun part: the learning as you go, making mistakes, then learning from them. :)

[@darniataylor7749]

[@ThriftDiving]

Yesss! I really need to sit down and figure out what I want the interior to look like, because it's getting close to that part now and I have no idea!

[@yagirlayanag]

I’m about to get a 16x20 Tuff Shed for our new home so I can have a backyard studio. You have definitely convinced me that my choice is right. I have enjoyed watching the process so far.

[@ThriftDiving]

YAY! Glad you were able to make your decision! You'll enjoy it! It's taken me a long time to finish off the inside, but it does say money doing some of the work yourself. Congrats on your studio! And so funny you mention your "studio." I decided that I need to start calling this my "studio" too because it's too nice to be a "shed." LOL Enjoy!

[@lozarkderccy3254]

This is sooooooooooo good! This place is almost done!

[@ThriftDiving]

Almost!! The bad news is that it rained today and there was some rain that leaked in through the front door, right at the corners. 😫😫😫 I reached out to the shed folks and it's covered under warranty. I think there is some caulking that the door requires. But yes, it's coming along!!

[@rubena6105]

Dang people always have something to criticize (guy on Facebook). I bet he's the jack of all trades and does everything himself to save a few bucks. It doesn't take 4 people for the job but time is money when your have a well ran business.

[@Ho11is2Ho11ywood]

Looking forward to seeing what color you paint. You should get someone to do a mural on one of the walls! My friend and I used to paint murals as a side hustle in college lol. It would be a cool backdrop in your future videos.

I love it! You're really going to enjoy working in there.

[@Csaysit]

Omgsh Serena!! Looks amazing!! I can’t wait for the next steps! Yaaay

[@ThriftDiving]

[@paulmaldonado3177]

Who cares what other people think! You did a great job!

[@stevenbenford2626]

In England we put the plaster board the other way and stagger the joints to stop it from cracking. Also the screwing technique is a bit behind, we use a drill with a magazine of screws much quicker. Also there would have only been two men,and didn't need vapour barrier, it was already insulated once..Doing a lovely so jealous 👍👍

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

Those magazine-fed screwguns are readily available in the US too. They seem to be quite popular with people who build decks etc, but not so much with drywall guys. I don't know the reason for this, but my guess is that it's just that loose screws are cheaper, and the small amount of time saved isn't considered worth the extra cost.

[@jenyfursmith8413]

I don’t understand the "why do you need 4 ppl" Facebook comment. If it was one or two, the would still be hanging drywall. The overall goal was to save time. I think it’s amazing! I’ve tried to hang drywall and ended up calling in the professionals.

[@ThriftDiving]

Good question, Grace!! I am thinking of just getting large round stones (or making some out of concrete). I don't want ANYTHING that is going to sprout weeds and need maintenance. I'm tired of stepping in the mud and then tracking it in and out of the house. So yes, that's the plan. I think I'll stop by the quarry and pick up some stones to drop in place! Easy and requirea no work or maintenance!

I'm curious as to know how much was charged for the 460 sf of drywall for your shed.
