I knew KZbin would help. I've done tons of sheetrock and was thinking I'd need to rent a sheetrock lift to do the ceiling in my garage with 5/8th. This idea is simple, easy to implement and will save me the cost of a rental lift. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this out there. Much appreciated.

Hire a pro rocker dude, that was embarrassing. 35 years experienced rocker here.. You're going to get people seriously injured with this demo....Learn how to properly use a panel lift and rent or buy one, they only cost approx.$ 200. The time you save will more than make up for the lunacy I just saw with that demonstration. Good wishes for you and your channel, but you can't be leading people to injury and a shitty final product. Respectfully, a real rocker.

Nice job with the blocking and I like your plumb-bob trick for your electrical boxes. I chose to by an inexpensive drywall lift to hang the ceilings. I work too slow to rent one. To mark ceiling boxes, after lifting the boards into place, I crawled on top of the rafters and outlined the boxes with a pencil, took the drywall down, cut it and reinstalled it. For wall boxes, we put bright red lipstick on the perimeter of the boxes, and after propping the drywall in place, patted it firmly over the boxes and made our cuts based on the lipstick lines. and then attached it to the wall. The guy who finished (aka taping, mudding and sanding smooth) our drywall said we hung it better than his crew does. We actually did, but so slowly that we could never make money at it.LOL

Great trick with the blocking (and shoutout to plumb-bobs....) But, fyi, it's almost always faster to measure (use) the closest true surface; in this case the side of the joist. (And just measure under the board to the box's edge - and or, from your 4' mark/edge back to it's centre. (i.e. Usually you should just mark or write its measurements on the wall, board or joist - whatever's the fastest / nearest true surface to transfer from.) #rockon. - y

Great tip! This is good if you are doing one ceiling. If you've got a few to do, and they're larger, another option is to get a cheap imported drywall lift; they really speed things up and cost about $150. When you're done, you can get half of that back by selling the thing on craigslist. To find a steel box, I use a magnetic stud finder. Mine is made by Hanson, is very small and cost $10. They're also more reliable than the electronic ones for actually finding studs, and there's no battery to die. Can lights are aluminum so the magnet won't work; so I pre-drill the rock before hanging it. With tape measure accuracy you shouldn't have any problem getting a pilot hole somewhere within the can diameter. I *always* use paper tape because it's far less likely than the mesh garbage to show hairline cracks at the joint.

@edsmith44146 жыл бұрын
Do a quick measurement off two other points (edge of last sheet, wall edge, whatever) to the box center. Put your sheet up....don't finish screwing near the box, as it is holding the sheet down (or out in the case of a wall outlet). Repeat the measurement to find the box center. Set the rotozip bit for your dry wall thickness + 3/8" beyond the round guard/depth control. Set it much deeper and you risk getting into your wires in the box. Fire it up, plunge into the mark for the box center, run toward the outside of the box....you'll hit the inside edge of the box. Drop the tool down enough to get over the box edge, then go back to full depth and run the bit around the outside edge of the box. TAKE YOUR TIME....don't get wild...listen...you'll hear the bit against the box...that's where you want it...and you'll do a perfect cut around the outside of the box. Push the drywall up and finish securing with screws.

Interesting concept there Mike! I will be converting a shipping container into a tiny house soon and was just going to rent a 'Panel Lifter' from Home Depot. I have been a contractor for better than 37 years and always had a crew to install drywall, although I would rent them panel lifters for ease of install. I noticed that Harbor freight Tools now sells one for around $125., but why buy something I'll only need once? Right? Anyway, in your video you mentioned that you would use 5/8" drywall if you were doing your house....DON'T! Building code prohibits 5/8" on ceilings, as well as 'Green board' (Wet location sheetrock) on ceilings. The reason is because it is too heavy and could pull free of the fasteners. FYI, 5/8" Drywall/Sheet rock is for exterior walls in residential, or 'Fire walls' in commercial/Industrial. Residential interior walls use 1/2 inch, and bathrooms use green board for walls. Kitchen sink area also uses green board. Anyway, thanks for a great DIY method. I was taught at a young age, "Work with what you have, not with what you wish you had." Good old American Ingenuity!

Do the same on the floors measure up to the center of the box from the floor and mark with an arrow and measurement on the floor. Router it out after the sheet is hung. Thanks!

Many thanks. I tried hanging a 1.2m x 2.4m plasterboard on a ceiling for the first time in my life last night and it was a nightmare. I've got a couple more sheets to do and I'll use your method. Thank you again.

My helper though I was crazy when I used scrap like this. Definitely a great method.

Good video Mike. I have been using this method for years now., and it works great. I run the 2x4 around the room and use the blocks. Plus I use a different size block to run the rock back. I screw it on edge of the rock where I would normally put a screw and screw on temporary and take off the blocks and replace it with a screw once I screw other side on. Only difference is I use a small scaffold instead of a ladder
