Installing Drywall in a 10 x 12 Shed

[@DaveMustaine333]

An easy start for cutting holes for outlets and switches is to use an I.D./credit card. It's damn near the same size as a nail in box.

[@workbenchz]

You have developed some skill, nice. Switch and outlet box cutouts are always difficult. One technique I have tried is to deliberately under size the hole and when you hold the panel in place, you can see through the hole to mark the additional trimming for a near-perfect fit.

[@sethcraftworkshop]

That is a good idea! Seems like the cut is always just a little off.

[@laurensulkis3035]

Good stuff! This is so helpful for us. Thank you!

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Thank you for watching! Drywall seems like a skill that will take a lot of practice.

The *matching Red & Black lumber jack flannels* had to give u guys a boost of confidence.😂 I know they did for viewers. Well done, thanks for documenting it clearly & posting it. I’m About to tackle the same job with my son, who hates dust. Should be fun.

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Funny thing! I showed up at his house and he was wearing the same shirt. Not planned at all. This job is not too bad. But has lots of dust.

I love how it is turning out keep up the great work

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Thank you. I just finished filming the last step last week and it has turned out very nice for an exterior office space.

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Or detached office I should say.

[@heroknaderi]

Great job I enjoyed it keep it coming

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Thank you. For a first attempt at drywall it was enjoyable.

[@DianeLStyma]

1/2 inch sheet rock. Nice. 👍🏽

[@sethcraftworkshop]

This was my first go at sheetrock. Turned out nicely.

[@jllaine]

well done with the drywall, it's always tough.

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Not something I want to do a lot of.

[@brett4264]

I've done too much drywall work for a lifetime. I don't care to do any more. I would hire it out from here on.

[@sethcraftworkshop]

I am planning on doing sheetrock in my next 20x30 building and after that I dont think I want to do it again. Not much fun.

[@MikeWoot-ox9xf]

In commercial use buildings (with many forklifts, pump jacks & dollys moving around) we would temp/hang ply wood over the sheet rock all around the garage doors. (Just one 4’ sheet high with an X pattern of 5 screws) just because the rock gets crushed/cracked so easily & so often around the doors. But plywood was not 50 bucks a sheet back then 😂

[@dame4514]

Is there any way u could make a quick checklist of the tools mid etc that's required

[@Lashay-b1u]

How many pieces of Sheetrock were used ?

[@henrylopez9815]

Thanks for posting this video. I learned a lot. How many sheets of drywall was needed for this shed?

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Thank you. I forget the exact number of sheets but somewhere around 12.

[@NeaaWorld]

Thanks for posting! What did you guys use to make the gap from the floor to the drywall?

[@sethcraftworkshop]

We used a shim of wood to keep the gap.

[@brett4264]

Multiple thin layers of mud is the rule! It's easy to add more mud but sanding off excess, is a royal pain in the a$$!

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Because the homeowner needed to start using the building we made this part fast. I am sure we could have taken more time and made it look some better.

[@brett4264]

Those sheetrock squares never seem to be perfect. Always best to make a couple marks on the sheetrock. This allows you to get a perfect 90 degree cut.

[@sethcraftworkshop]

Good tip. This was my first attempt at sheetrock.

[@brett4264]

I can't say you even did an average job on the mudding and taping. I see all kinds of bumps. It takes years of trial and error to get good at it. It helps to have a pro guide you if possible.

[@sethcraftworkshop]

After spending a few hours on this I can see that it takes years of practice to make it nice.
