I'm remodeling my first home with my girlfriend. It's 104 years old! We ripped out all the old lath and plaster (about 15,000 pounds of it), re-wired the place, installed insulation, and working on drywall now. My dad has been helping me with the drywall, but it's nice to watch another video to help better myself to help my dad more. Thanks

As an engineer who used to design levels(the blue ones that are owned by the red company, wink wink). Get an I beam :) lighter, easier to hold and just as accurate (if you don't beat the shit out of it). Just not as durable. Just don't get the husky I-beam, you can bend it if you look at it too hard. Try empire e55(wink wink) or irwin.

@Nestrs
@Nestrs Жыл бұрын
@@rickanthony8259 well, I may need more detail to give you proper advice. If this is a garage or hanger you may want to consider stacking the drywall from the ground. However, I would use purple board if you’re resting on concrete as moisture can be absorbed into the Drywall from the ground. You can also consider hanging it vertically depending on the ceiling height. Hanging it horizontally hides imperfections in the walls a little better because you stagger your butt joints where as vertical boards will break on the same stud. If you have a somewhat standard ceiling height, then I would just stick to the original game plan and start with the ceilings.

Use an x bit for Roto zip. And you need to go counter clockwise for cutting out can lights(outside of light/box) and clockwise for the inside. Also no need to mess with outlets. Just mark the top of the box so you don't hit and damage the outlet.
@Nestrs
@Nestrs 4 жыл бұрын
Daniel Morrill 👍🏼 thanks for the comment and actually that would be the best advice for beginners. Most projects will not have outlets at this stage and as long as you have a quality box you are not going to hurt it. Stopping to precisely measure to the outside of the box will slow you down and may require you to tape around the box if it is not perfect. Mark the center with your knife and keep moving.

drywalling where rooms will have a drop ceiling, therefore the ceiling won't be first. Considering this (only walls are getting drywall) is there still an advantage to putting the top 4' of the 8' wall board on first versus just working from the bottom up? I am not concerned if the final height of the drop ceiling is exactly 8' or if I have to make it 7'-10" or 7'-11". IF it is OK to put the bottom board in place first, should that board still be lifted slightly? If so, how much.
@Nestrs
@Nestrs 5 жыл бұрын
Tom Brizzi Thanks for the question. If it were me, I would still hang the top piece first. I guess it really doesn’t matter if you buy a piece of j-bead to slip on the top edge of the drywall. It will hide any cut edges you have and creates a finished edge that will butt up against the drop ceiling framing. For me, it’s always easier to hang the top piece and cut the bottom board if needed. The gap will be covered by your baseboard. The last time I stacked drywall (many years ago) was for a commercial space with a room that had 20’ high ceilings. Hope that helps!

I think it would be much easier to just put sponge pad with ink on the face of receptical, then make imprint on the backside of the drywall. Cut along the imprint. Also, if the receptical box is already raised to account for drywall thickness, there is no need to take out the socket from receptical box.

Hey 11219tt, you definitely want your drywall to be above your finished flooring height. This will prevent buckling if your floor expands moves and stop moisture in the floor from absorbing up into the drywall and causing damage. A good rule of thumbs is about an inch or so above the finished floor height.

Awesome video. Why did you use 5/8 sheeting on ceiling vs 1/2 all around? Thanks!

@SuperJupiter33 3 жыл бұрын
because the ceiling joist are 24 on center and possibly fire code,walls are 16 on center.sometimes 5/8 will be used on fire or house walls.

Hey Stephen, while there are some rare cases where stacking makes more sense the basic school of thought is that you want the gap at the bottom of the floor that will ultimately be covered by your baseboards.

I have to ask I'm old school. We always installed our drywall long est end up wall only one seem to mud every 4 ft. Why now is it all being done long way from bottom up wall. Do you understand what I am asking. I have a contractor that insist on new way and I as owner and the money man want it my OLD way. HELP Here
@Nestrs
@Nestrs 5 жыл бұрын
Thomas Bridges I would recommend doing it the new way 😂😂😂. While hanging vertically reduces butts joints, it increases linear seam footage. More importantly horizontal hanging hides uneven studs and ensures a smoother appearance. That’s why you only see drywall hung vertically in basements, garages (not mine 😀) and commercial spaces due to fire code.

Ok hanging vertical has nothing to do with a fire code. On steel you hang vertical wood you hang horizontally it just a convenience factor

My apologies for the late response… you can use a standard driver to do this as well. The trick to create a slight dimple without tearing the paper. You can adjust the setting on the driver to help. If you break the paper, put another screw in a couple inches away.

ashfaaq inventor it’s all about your preference and how you are going to use the space. If you want to dampen the sound add some sound proofing insulation. As far thermal insulation is concerned only exterior walls are needed. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment.
