I'm a carpenter that hangs drywall once a blue moon maybe on a rainy day. Just watching you guys for 5 minutes will help me up my game. First off I mark both sides of the piece to verify square. I think I will keep that habit I get paid well but don't have to fly like you guys, just hustle a little. Yeah a drywall crew would fire me.
We d the same thing in the states on commercial buildings. Metal flexes so we put in plastic made for that so the rock doesn't crack. Basically an expansion joint
I used to carry 2 x 12.5 up apartment stairs .... on own . I would fit 60 sheets a day . 12.5mm. I'm 60 now . I got one metal hip at 50 year old . And the other one is on its way.
As a former painter, a good drywall crew is important. Paint can cover a lot of crap and caulk can make a poor trim job look decent but bad drywall is impossible to pretty up.
Every Drywaller and boarder Gets my Respect over 40 years in the trades and Drywall well its takes a special bread I hate it can do it but no ..So my Respect boys
Made me tired but inspired just from watching these craftsmen work! I'm teaching myself how to really lay block at the age of 47, and seeing these guys turn and burn is awesome!
Are you leaving out where you cut out where the receptacles are in the rooms? NEC code spec are supposed to be every 12' around a room. I didn't see anything exposed. I didn't see any switches either. I have done my share of sheetrock work over the years. Great job, just asking.
after 5 years, I figured out today how the hack did my office has such precise drywall install that not even a single curve or joint is visible. Now, I find out that there is a long version of drywall too. LoL
Fast work chaps god nows where you get sheets that length but most amazingly you must have the only makita screw guns that don't constantly jam up my 2 drive me mantal keep it up chaps.
Wow I've never seen sheets this long🤣 what are these weighing in at? I've just invested in one off them cutters that your using too trim round the doors on this video recently, it's fair too say they are quicker than a jab saw🤣 save a lot off time when trimming around sockets etc. Top job boys👌🏻
Why do you guys leave such a big gap where the top meets the ceiling? Here in Canada we push the top board right up to the ceiling first & leave a gap on the floor
Hey William, for sure. Its not easy but wouldn't want to work in an office too! 51 years that's awesome.. you would have seen some things. I would love to hear some stories
@@Maxkil you can get 10 mm in europe as well but 12.5 is the most common. Soundproofing is more common too. I did a job where all the internal walls were sound deadened and double hung first layer with moisture resistant and second with knauf purple board. That stuff is heavy and rediculously hard to cut. Also need special screws to fix it, found that out through trial and error mostly error😅. Great watching you guys work though learnt a heap. Miss the 6m sheets everything is 2.5-3m max here.
lived in a crappy house with walls that thin. Made many repairs when moving out. Just a minor bump between the studs would break it. Awful stuff. New house has 1" thick walls, a bit overkill but it was built to last over a century.
What's with the huge gap in the top angle? I see boarders starting on the top sheet first then lower, a huge amount of boarders never take into account of how a taper would do his job without unnecessary butt joints,screw nibs not recessed.
@h2s142 For sound primarily, but also thermal. If you have a multizone ducted AC system, especially using newer tech with individual zone temperature settings, you can close doors to unused zones and have less thermal transfer, more efficient cooling/heating. But yeah the main reason is sound. It's very commonplace in most other parts of the world to have internal wall insulation, but Australia is so far behind the game with insulating buildings in general. We may not get the same cold weather as the northern hemisphere, but we get extreme heat. We still have new builds with 4mm glass, and limited wall insulation FFS
What ya gona do with that crack at the top? I hung rock for 40 + years, commercial and residential. Commercial starts at the bottom and residential starts at the top. I they would have pushed the top wall piece up to the ceiling there wouldn't be a crack, and the finisher 's job would be a lot easer...
Cornice (coving) closes the gap. Leaving a gap makes it much easier to hang. If they were going to tape and mud the corners then for sure they would hang a tighter fit.
All can hang by themselves and are fast. Ive been hanging over 20 years. Ive never seen framing like that though. Its nice to get a square open layout like that. Pretty fast with those screw guns you guys use. Couldnt pay me enough to run those but I gotta give you credit for the speed with them. I could definitely work with these guys, but not running that monstrosity of a gun lol. Hand fed screwing is the best and fastest (for me). Good work though guys!
@@Ketchupbelongsonsteak no shit!?. It was more or less about using the guns with bands, and just pumping and dumping… why I said, what about popped screws. Pump and dump, leave it for the finisher. Not my first day
@@Ketchupbelongsonsteak most of the hangers we work around nail the perimeter, screw off the field. Problem we come across is they don’t have the depth set right, pump and dump, and leave us with the mess. They use screw guns, but they aren’t the decking screw guns. That’s why I said, what do they do about popped screws. No good with the OG if not set, what about the decking screw gun? Even worse for wear
@@zachwagner1838 when I started we nailed perimeters. Now I never use nails but I glue when I can. Vapor barrier obviously not gluing there. The paper on the face of drywall is so thin these days it is hard to get screws that don't pop through but it is still possible guys just need to pay attention more. I'm still on the fence for cordless guns. I feel to often when I'm finishing I'm turning those in 1/8-1/4 turn before the sheet is actually tight and doesn't move when pushed on. I love gluing because less screws and in the case a screw does break paper the sheet still doesn't move so it's not coming back as a pop later.
@@HARRYYZ125 If you pull cornice anyway your going to need to hang new sheet. The cornice cement will take a good chunk out of the sheet on both wall and ceiling. Decision to use/not use coving would only be made on new build or major reno.
@@dmitripogosian5084 yeah any finishing trades are rough. They require technique which only comes from practice and repetition. I'll probably annoy a few chippys with this comment but framing just requires building code knowledge, the ability to measure and the right tools. Much more fun.

Genuinely curious, but to my knowledge you start from top down so that the inside corner joint for the ceiling has 2 factory edges for finishing. Ifyou don't care about that though going bottom up is easier to hang, since you can balance the top sheet on the bottom sheet. Cool video though!

Good job guys, but there will come a day you can't do it anymore with that speed- I'm a craftsman myself from the late 60's until 2015. and my body gets worn out- believe me- I'm telling the truth- my body is worn out- at 74 years old I have difficulty walking - moving - due to too much sitting on my knees - crawling up and down ladders and scaffolding, as well as lugging and carrying everything- before we got lifts and other lifting equipment added-- have been on workplace forms at 80 meters height, so take care of yourselves out there!!

Been in construction most of my life as a contractor, these guys are the real deal. I wish my crews had been 1/2 this fast
Yea no kidding. The large boards not joints… most crews would take them 15 20 mins to do that wall
Chances are that they are making much more though.
they would have been faster if 3 out of 3 all had tattoos then they work harder too not pay their rent and work for another paint on their body. lol
I hung drywall for 17 years, I wish this light weight stuff was available in my day. Well done guys.
those gentlemen are mechanics not just hangers and yes when i was hanging in the glory days it wasnt as easy
Why are you leaving gap at top and seeing board on floor. We always went tight to ceiling and left gap at floor
We d the same thing in the states on commercial buildings. Metal flexes so we put in plastic made for that so the rock doesn't crack. Basically an expansion joint

No insulation! Right on!
I always use screws when I hang drywall. Takes a little longer, but much less likely to pop over time.

Cornice (coving) closes the gap. Leaving a gap makes it much easier to hang. If they were going to tape and mud the corners then for sure they would hang a tighter fit.
