Happy Sunday! Let's get ready to board my home! BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 portable power station: bit.ly/3BQ1jxm Discount code： Biata5off for 5% off Sitewide.
Biata . Not for the first time I’ve got to say what an amazing person you are. Just love your attention to detail and how you’re going to make the most amazing home. Not sure I’d be looking forward to drywall as much as you are, but it will make an amazing difference very quickly. Can’t wait until next weeks video. Love and respect from the old man in the UK
when drilling that hole that kept binding, if you had turned the handle so it was against the vertical stud then the stud would stop it from turning and hurting your wrist. not sure if i explained it clearly. let t he drill turn till it hits the wall then leave it in that position so it cant turn any more. thats a trick that helps if there is something near the hole to stop the drill from being able to turn. there are drills that have a built in function that cuts the power when it binds so it doesnt break your wrist.....tho those ones are probably super expensive. i just heard about them in the last few weeks. also watch out you dont smack yourself in the face with the drill when it binds....ive done that. you can easily break your nose. i was lucky and it wasnt going fast soo i didnt cause any major damage. but ive done it twice lol
I can't get over how much more you are confident in your ability compared to earlier videos. Keep it up, almost there. BTW I gave you wrong information in an earlier video. The box in the pantry of electrical boxes reads Iberville not Bienville. (around 20:40) Bienville was the founder of New Orleans and Iberville was his older brother. Okay so much for useless information. Keep it up, everything looks great.
I don’t normally chat but I’ve watched from the beginning and every time I see how things are going it’s looking great. I was a residential electrician for 6years and I’m amazed every time I see you doing something new. A lot of people would struggle and you make it look easy super impressed with your drive and skill and hope the best for you and your family. Thanks for the videos and can’t wait to see the finished project great job.
Brianna on your drywall screws by a drywall screw setter that goes on your drill and make sure you don’t have your drill set too too high on your setting you know like we were setting it on like seven or eight or 10 that way it sets the screw in the clutch, takes care of the restof the drill.
Bless your heart on the drywall. I hate it. I am going to do pine boards hopefully 8 inch wide. It's lot easier on a body. But drywall is cheaper. Good luck 😊
Careful with the holesaw! Use a drill with a side handle. I almost broke my wrist when the drill snapped forward and wedged my hand. Only use holesaws w/ a handle drill now
I was screaming at ya to use screws to help fit up that ceiling frame! You did!!! Brie is a Beast!!! Mr Cabinet Man, use 2" screws! More then enough strength in that solid fram house and you stay away from your wifes wiring!!! Happy Wife!!! LoL. A+ guys!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
Hint: for big hole saws, low RPMs and rock the drill back and forth, left and rght as you are cutting. This means only some of the hole saws teeth are cutting at any one time. Great video. Thank you.
I think you are doing amazing job and just keep your head up and take your time and good luck and be safe. You God bless you guys and see you next Sunday
Thank you so much! Wood ceilings are nice too but I’m doing a wood kitchen table, wood lower cabinetry, wood flooring , and a wood faux beam. Adding the ceiling would be way too much!
Good morning, B 👍. Shimming is not the most interesting work to do, and the work itself ends up invisible - but, thankfully, the resulting straightness, be it square or plumb, is worth it 👍👍. Insulating the inner walls not only dampens sound, it also allows you to temper the different rooms differently at lower cost. Just be careful not to cause condensation on the colder side of the wall.... Congratulations on getting ready to put up dry wall, and getting the dry wall plates. Your house really gets to look like a home now 👍👍👍. I am so happy for you and your family. Take care.
Thanks so much! Yah it definitely helps being able to control the temps of the rooms! It will be so nice having our bedrooms cooler than the living room because we like to sleep at a cooler temp! And I can adjust the infloor heating for each room too :)
Awesome job... Lil food for thought 🤔 not sure what ya plan on for finishing the drywall... if ya have a slight amount of bow or swaying (no more than ¼") using a texture to it can hide the leveling of the drywall 😮😊 Your skills have really shown through and you have progressed so far 😊... The rate your going, I can see a a general contractor license in the furure 😅 Till the next one... 🙏💗👍🤙
Hiii Biata. Been following u sence clearing the property. I’m so excited for u getting ready for drywall. I’ve seen u struggle & ur Smiles. U a beautiful & an amazing person. So happy ur mind gets a break from all the struggles dear ❤️❤️❤️✌️😘
Biata, don’t spend time on your door openings. When you install the jambs or trim in you will be shimming them. That’s when you true up the openings. 3/8” out of plump is not excessive and easy to shim later. Rememember you are “rough framing” so far. Cam will be your pro partner when finishing as it’s his profession as an installer. Great progress.
Hi Biata! Putting in the insulation really starts to show how it will look when it is completed. I'm sure the extra insulation will also help with the warmth and not only the noise levels. Your level of perfectionism will be rewarded at the end when you see the final results, every little bit you improve now will be worth it. Now to the dry wall, and then it's finishing touches! See you next week, take care, Naomi x
You are sooooooo close. ❤🎉 🏡 I have watched all the ups and downs, and during the downs, I know you probably didn’t see or feel it at the time, but for me, being on this side of things and seeing all that you have overcome, I would think ‘oh, this is rough, but she will push through’ ❤️ and duh, you have! Y’all, I came for tree felling, stayed for the bada$$ women building her family’s home 😂 (also, shout-out to Cam and Craig and many others that helped along the way)
Great video again as usual Biata. Just a small suggestion for you here regarding your drywalling, you might want to have some help to put up all the 5/8" drywall on the ceiling as those sheets are going to be very heavy. Keep up the great work.
It's all coming together!! Been watching from the start! Can't believe you are getting so close to finishing up your dream home!!🎉 it's going to be so nice for you guys!!
Thank you! I shoved insulation in between them :). I was chatting with an electrician and he said it really only causes interference with large wires like mains or oven wires etc. and then online says 1-2” away from each other so hopefully it’s okay!
dont forget to put in blocking into the walls to take into account for cabinets, towel holders, etc... you have to do that before dry wall goes up or you are totally screwed when it comes to mounting fixtures and such...
@@SimpleLivingwithBiata Big thing is having the weight on the back of the drill as well. Larger hole saws will always grab hard when they bite so having that pressure behind them will minimise this more.
Bro, one of your hands should be at the back of the motor on top of the drill. You got it on the handle where you’re pulling the trigger put it on the rounded part on top of the drill as you’re pushing straight down to the bit that way you won’t be jumping around as much you’re your cocking your drill to the side because of the fact that it is, you’re holding it by the trigger and not putting white right directly down over the bed straight over the bit
Milwaukee makes a different style hole saw called the 'bighawg' that only has a few teeth. They work SOOOOO much better in wood, I've switched over to mostly those for any wood drilling especially on big holes.
Consider running speaker wires, 5.1 surround is way better than any tv speaker or sound bar. CAT6 for PoE cameras, Reolink has great PoE system. 18/2 wires to each window for Lutron smart blinds, little fancy but if you get the insulating cellular blinds, you can program them to close at night to save heat and open in the morning for gentle wake up. On the topic of Lutron, you can also get smart light switch to check, turn on/off lights away from home, and have a switch by home entrance to turn off all the lights in the home. Also good opportunity for Lutron and Reolink sponsor. 😉
A sheer wall is usually on exterior walls, rake walls or where a roof truss would have lateral force. If the engineer didn't call for it it isn't necessary. However, it provides better thermal isolation, soundproofing, and for future fixtures, hanging cabinets, shelves, etc. It's structural support, especially in areas where heavy objects need to be mounted, like kitchens or bathrooms. Push in on drywall without it, you'll experience the difference. The horizontal forces acting on a structure is partly why, and idk who gave her the idea that it would be any different, or that you will forever constantly be "attempting" "level" everywhere, but actually making things worse, when I already explained this to her, but anyway, it would of been less of a "problem" if the walls were sheeted. While true you want your walls to be straight, "straight" is inline with everything else, Not in line with "level". She'll learn. All that said, it is what 60$ a board these days? Cost is a factor.
@ The main purpose would be as a fastening surface. It simplifies mounting fixtures without needing to locate studs. It also improves the sound insulation, but that you've already addressed, in your video. I realize it's not as common in north America, but in Scandinavia it's been standard for many years to use OSB + drywall and I would never live without it again.
@JoakimBjornander I stated that already. It's actual main purpose is structural and is why you'll see it on in construction sites. And it won't be installed throughout. There are a few methods that would address your "main" purpose that is usually actively used. I'm not an armchair contractor, I actually do build homes. Either way it's not necessary here or it would be in the engineering plans. Want me to explain that too?
Too late for my reply, but just an FYI, for you make sure you have all your backing and behind anywhere you have cabinets where your toilet paper roller goes towel holders in the bathroom and measure up. Take pictures so you know where everything is at. Also, it’s best to get the longest sheets of drywall possible that gives you less joints to mud But you already have your drywall here where I’m at and me being a contractor I can buy 20 foot sheets of drywall and I don’t know if it is cold in Canada but on the states you have to use 5/8 thick drywall on the ceiling ceilings and the ceilings get put in first ….. Stay Safe and The best of luck to you….. also I put up full sheets that might go past a doorway and then use a router and trim around where the door opening is and it trims your drywall giving you clean edges 🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼✌🏼🪚🔨
Thanks for all the insight! I'm using as many long sheets as I can! And I only have one butt joint and it's where the cabinetry is! Blocking is in for everything else but the kitchen. Cam just uses studs in all of his installs and said no blocking because it's not necessary!
Okay great, thank you! Our kitchen walls are nearly bang on when it comes to plumb :). My hubby had to use 7 shims on a base cabinet to get a cabinet plumb the other day because the wall was so out! At least ours wont be like that haha!
make sure to pull your electrical boxes out another half inch wherever you have strapping before you put up the drywall,, otherwise you will have to put plastic inserts and Long screws inside every box which is a pain in the ass. also take pictures of everything inside before you put the drywall up, will help like crazy when you need to install things on the wall in the future.
You may want to consider placing the TV on the wall you said the couch is going up against. The sun will create a glare on the television during the daytime the way you said you were going to set up the living room.
Keep in mind that finished drywall is not flat. Butt joints done properly will raise 1/4" - 3/8" above the surface and should be feather at least 12" on either side of the joint. Factory joints will be 3/16" to 1/4" raised above the surface and should be feathered 8-10" beyond the centre of the joint. Un-shimmed strapping will help equalize the drywall and only matters if you are aiming for a paint finish. However, textured (ie yechy popcorn) was applied to hide imperfections in the ceiling. The nicest compromise IMHO is to have the drywall finishers apply a knock-down ceiling. Pot lights will help to hide ceiling imperfections where sconces and up lighting will accentuate imperfections and joints along the edges. So, for the most perfect job focus on making corners and inside corner joints as straight as possible. And finally putting a poor paint job over great drywall job will ruin your expectations. While I wold encourage you to attempt the finishing yourself, it takes years to perfect the tools and application of joint compound to create a good finish. It would be best to hire a good finisher based on word of mouth recommendations. Avoid cheap or inexpensive finishers. Like your fascia and soffit guys helped you you really need professionals for this job.
@@SimpleLivingwithBiata I get it, but what I was reacting to were your verbal instructions to people to leave it nice and fluffy. For accoustic, this is incorrrect.
Gotta say B, your doing a great job. But in the future could you wear some other color when doing the insulation. It was hard to see you for the pink insulation. You blended in so. Also isnt it customary to do insulation on hot humid summer days when it can stick on you easier. Keep goin kid your doin great ❤Boston
Bro, one of your hands should be at the back of the motor on top of the drill. You got it on the handle where you’re pulling the trigger put it on the rounded part on top of the drill as you’re pushing straight down to the bit that way you won’t be jumping around as much you’re your cocking your drill to the side because of the fact that it is, you’re holding it by the trigger and not putting white right directly down over the bed straight over the bit hey Brian, why don’t you take a level and draw your level line just above there where 3/8 is and run a saw across there and take that back to the level length from corner to corner and then you’ll be OK on your drywall. You’re only supposed to use inch and a quarter screws.
Certainly moving forward, I wouldn't have put the drywall in the bedtooms, you'll end up moving it twice more, complete floor space for the lid, I hope your using a drywall lift? There is a way of loading a house, try to minimize how many times you muscle a sheet, that will wear you out! What ever you do, do not line up your butt joints! Your mudd will crack at the joints, half or at least one quarter of a sheet stagger, like brick patterns, good luck
@SimpleLivingwithBiata I've left the smaller rooms empty, and loaded in your case the walls along the cathedral ceiling so you have enough room to handle sheets going up on the ceiling and enough room to work, I've had to do whole houses like yours by myself, you make every motion count, get about 8 to 10 screws in each sheet, always mark your rafters, studs, with a screw so you don't miss, hang and secure, then move to the next, once a room is done being hung, go to the next room or plane, those vaults are going to be rough so brace yourself, you can go back and screw the rest of the rooms anytime, Idk if your code has screw inspections or not but it's usual of 5 screws off a 4 foot span, one on each end one in the middle and 2 between the gap off center, a screw tip will help immensely, 1 1/4-1 5/8 nominal screw lengths, I just use a cordless drill, I've done all the fancy tools to zip them in but a drill with the right tip does the job, if you have any questions before you start ask away I'll be at the phone today,
I was assuming you were trimming out the closet. I shouldn’t assume. 😊 I wasn’t a fan of drywall finishing door openings. They always got dinged up. But not against it. 😊
I think it will make more sense once the cabinet try goes in :). It’s only like 2” of the corner that’s going to show and then it will be the cabinet :)! I will be finishing the two big doorway openings with drywall but there won’t be doors hung on it
Drywall is boring, BUT WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES! You think the insulation made it feel like rooms - well the drywall will brighten it all up and you will be amazed at the difference. Then comes the tedious part - taping and mudding! BUT it's getting you that much closer to moving in!!! YAY!
The reason your hole saw is jumping around like that is because the pilot bit is too short. It looks like it is barely sticking beyond the saw, but maybe it's just my perspective from the video? If it protrudes a bit further so that it can get down in to the wood, the saw will stay in place. Some down pressure on the drill will help too! Drywall....oh...you're gonna have fun with that. Hanging it is the easy part....muddin' and tapin' and sandin'...well....embrace the suck. You'll get it though, no doubt!
I would put the TV lower. really as low as it can go - when you sit in the sofa and put your feet on something, so your feet are not in the view of bottom of TV. Than you can just watch straight in front of you and not hurt your neck facing up all the time.

Haha maybe I’m naive to be excited about drywall! Thank you so much for your lovely comment
It can be exciting and frustrating also but just take your time also for the ceiling use a lift it will be so much easier to install that way
Hey. I think you might have to flush the electrical boxes to the strapping?
@@diyhandcraftedlifestyle9151 boxes are out 1/2" from the strapping to be flush with the drywall :)
Look at how competent you've become! Cutting the abs with the skill saw while standing like it was nothing. You're a pro now.
Awh you’re awesome! Thank you!

And thank you! There’s so much more confidence there!
When we did the cathedral ceiling we strapped it with a steel j channel It straight out all the trusses out no shims

Thank you! I’m excited!
Good on you girl your getting there and it is looking good. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
The house is looking great! Resilient channel is great for self-levelling drywall (instead of strapping and shimming).
Wow Biata you have done a great job on the house and I am excited to see how it looks with the drywall up in it.
Careful with the holesaw! Use a drill with a side handle. I almost broke my wrist when the drill snapped forward and wedged my hand. Only use holesaws w/ a handle drill now
When drilling with a hole saw put the handle of the drill upagainst the stud and then push the trigger.....the stud will stop the drill from turning

Saaaame!!!
Very well done, Biata! I love your creativity in figuring out a jig to hold the other end of the strapping!
Amazing progress. Love the problem solving. Wonderful to see you and your husband just being together and having fun.
Thank you! He's purposefully such a bugger sometimes lol.
@SimpleLivingwithBiata that's what husbands are for! My wife has had to put up with me for 38 years!🤣
I think you are doing amazing job and just keep your head up and take your time and good luck and be safe. You God bless you guys and see you next Sunday
The ceiling would look stunning in wood ✨Thank you for sharing your journey 🌲So impressive and inspiring
Thank you so much! Wood ceilings are nice too but I’m doing a wood kitchen table, wood lower cabinetry, wood flooring , and a wood faux beam. Adding the ceiling would be way too much!

looking good . Keep up the cool vid's.
It's all coming together!! Been watching from the start! Can't believe you are getting so close to finishing up your dream home!!🎉 it's going to be so nice for you guys!!
Thank you! It’s so close and I’m so excited!
Good job love it
Great progress this week! Looking forward to next week.
Good one biatta ....❤❤
You are doing good. You can get a side arm for your drill so you don't hurt your wrist.
Good morning my friend nice video 😊
Thank you so much!
Awesome! If you don't have one, you should invest in a lazer. Make your work simple. 👍✌️
I have one and used one this video 🥰! Just can’t accurately use one for a vaulted ceiling!
Wow, such a great job. Your amazing. Keep going🎉❤
it is going to look so good when it is done.
Thank youuu!
Yes love our Bluetti. Not only for our RV lifestyle and boondocking but also as a back for our home in the North where we lose power all the time.
Thanks for sharing!
Your doing great you got this girl
Go for it Biata we have faith in you.
Thank you!
Minor nitpick, shouldn't run network cable parallel with power lines, it can cause interference.
Thank you! I shoved insulation in between them :). I was chatting with an electrician and he said it really only causes interference with large wires like mains or oven wires etc. and then online says 1-2” away from each other so hopefully it’s okay!
Yea drywall I made a good living hanging that stuff back in the 80's got paid by the piece.
So happy you didn’t stress in this video.
Me too! Was a lovely few weeks!
dont forget to put in blocking into the walls to take into account for cabinets, towel holders, etc... you have to do that before dry wall goes up or you are totally screwed when it comes to mounting fixtures and such...
All blocking is up except for kitchen blocking because hubby is a cabinetry installer and said it’s super unnecessary :)
Quick FYI, Rockwool is going to isolate sound much better than fiberglass insulation. 😊
Stuck at work on a 12 hour shift. Thanks for the break! Looking forward to next week’s video
Oh gosh that's a long shift! Thanks for watching!
Oh drywall dust. You are going to be amazing as always 💕
Haha thank you!
I've found it is easier to use hole saws when you are above the drill and that way you can brace the drill and start out slower as well
Okay amazing! Thank you!
amazing!
Salut 😊 j attendez ta vidéo j adore te voir travailler 😅 comme une pro 😊 a la prochaine vidéo je me lengui de voir avec les piece avec les plaques😊😊
Thank you so very much! Can’t wait to do the drywall!
The studs around the hole saw can be used as bracing when drilling. Just put the base of the drill against a stud
Ouuuu smart
@@SimpleLivingwithBiata Big thing is having the weight on the back of the drill as well. Larger hole saws will always grab hard when they bite so having that pressure behind them will minimise this more.
That was smart to nail in that board to hold other end for you
Cam thought of it! Smart guy!
She could have used a screw to hold the spacer
Are you looking extra nice pictures, Biata? I could send you a picture of myself! LOL!!
Woo hoo. Yay
Goodluck this week
Thank you!
Bro, one of your hands should be at the back of the motor on top of the drill.

Oh great to know! I’ll chat with Cam about speakers too because he’s the sound/music guy
Your top blends in with the insulation.
haha it really did!
You should put some kind of particle board (OSB or plywood) under the drywall. It will save you so much headache in the future
That’s a lot of extra work! I’ve never heard of anyone doing that, what’s the purpose?

The horizontal forces acting on a structure is partly why, and idk who gave her the idea that it would be any different, or that you will forever constantly be "attempting" "level" everywhere, but actually making things worse, when I already explained this to her, but anyway, it would of been less of a "problem" if the walls were sheeted. While true you want your walls to be straight, "straight" is inline with everything else, Not in line with "level". She'll learn.
All that said, it is what 60$ a board these days? Cost is a factor.
@ The main purpose would be as a fastening surface. It simplifies mounting fixtures without needing to locate studs. It also improves the sound insulation, but that you've already addressed, in your video.
I realize it's not as common in north America, but in Scandinavia it's been standard for many years to use OSB + drywall and I would never live without it again.
@JoakimBjornander I stated that already. It's actual main purpose is structural and is why you'll see it on in construction sites. And it won't be installed throughout. There are a few methods that would address your "main" purpose that is usually actively used. I'm not an armchair contractor, I actually do build homes. Either way it's not necessary here or it would be in the engineering plans. Want me to explain that too?
@ No one has said that it's necessary. It's mainly a convenience that I don't understand why north American homes don't have.
When using a hole saw get in a good position to apply downward force on your drill. It will not catch and break your wrist that way.
Okay! Thank you! I find it so tricky
wonderful
Thanks! I'm so excited!
Now the heavy work begins.
Should be fun haha!
Too late for my reply, but just an FYI, for you make sure you have all your backing and behind anywhere you have cabinets where your toilet paper roller goes towel holders in the bathroom and measure up. Take pictures so you know where everything is at. Also, it’s best to get the longest sheets of drywall possible that gives you less joints to mud But you already have your drywall here where I’m at and me being a contractor I can buy 20 foot sheets of drywall and I don’t know if it is cold in Canada but on the states you have to use 5/8 thick drywall on the ceiling ceilings and the ceilings get put in first ….. Stay Safe and The best of luck to you….. also I put up full sheets that might go past a doorway and then use a router and trim around where the door opening is and it trims your drywall giving you clean edges 🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼✌🏼🪚🔨
Thanks for all the insight! I'm using as many long sheets as I can! And I only have one butt joint and it's where the cabinetry is! Blocking is in for everything else but the kitchen. Cam just uses studs in all of his installs and said no blocking because it's not necessary!
@ awesome sounds like you have it covered. Be safe and have a great week ahead.
your main concern with walls should be the kitchen where the cupboards go. A quarter inch in a wall will not show in the big pitcher.
Okay great, thank you! Our kitchen walls are nearly bang on when it comes to plumb :). My hubby had to use 7 shims on a base cabinet to get a cabinet plumb the other day because the wall was so out! At least ours wont be like that haha!
Another step out of the way, hope you wont need to do that on all the walls, keep going champ, we're all rooting for you.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
make sure to pull your electrical boxes out another half inch wherever you have strapping before you put up the drywall,, otherwise you will have to put plastic inserts and Long screws inside every box which is a pain in the ass. also take pictures of everything inside before you put the drywall up, will help like crazy when you need to install things on the wall in the future.
They’re all pulled out for the strapping and drywall :)! I thought of it ahead! Thanks for the tip!
SHIM THE FINISHED BOARDS..
You may want to consider placing the TV on the wall you said the couch is going up against. The sun will create a glare on the television during the daytime the way you said you were going to set up the living room.
That's okay :) We aren't huge tv people mid day! Just evenings and mornings on weekends!
Keep in mind that finished drywall is not flat. Butt joints done properly will raise 1/4" - 3/8" above the surface and should be feather at least 12" on either side of the joint. Factory joints will be 3/16" to 1/4" raised above the surface and should be feathered 8-10" beyond the centre of the joint. Un-shimmed strapping will help equalize the drywall and only matters if you are aiming for a paint finish. However, textured (ie yechy popcorn) was applied to hide imperfections in the ceiling. The nicest compromise IMHO is to have the drywall finishers apply a knock-down ceiling. Pot lights will help to hide ceiling imperfections where sconces and up lighting will accentuate imperfections and joints along the edges. So, for the most perfect job focus on making corners and inside corner joints as straight as possible. And finally putting a poor paint job over great drywall job will ruin your expectations. While I wold encourage you to attempt the finishing yourself, it takes years to perfect the tools and application of joint compound to create a good finish. It would be best to hire a good finisher based on word of mouth recommendations. Avoid cheap or inexpensive finishers. Like your fascia and soffit guys helped you you really need professionals for this job.
Thanks for all of your insight on this!
NO WHEELS ON THE SCAFS GIRL 😁PUT THE WHEELS ON EASY FOR YOUR BACK AND ARMS ,HEALTY FIRST 😉
Gypsum wall (soundboard) would reduce the noise significantly.
That will be so helpful!
Would use a drywall jack on hanging sheet rock, just saying
Did contract out the drywall and taping? I hope so
Acoustic insulation should be dense. Compressing it is good. Not same as thermal insulation.
I just used what I had, and it works great! I’m sure it’s not as good as the acoustic insulation
@@SimpleLivingwithBiata I get it, but what I was reacting to were your verbal instructions to people to leave it nice and fluffy. For accoustic, this is incorrrect.
Gotta say B, your doing a great job. But in the future could you wear some other color when doing the insulation. It was hard to see you for the pink insulation. You blended in so. Also isnt it customary to do insulation on hot humid summer days when it can stick on you easier. Keep goin kid your doin great ❤Boston
Bro, one of your hands should be at the back of the motor on top of the drill. You got it on the handle where you’re pulling the trigger put it on the rounded part on top of the drill as you’re pushing straight down to the bit that way you won’t be jumping around as much you’re your cocking your drill to the side because of the fact that it is, you’re holding it by the trigger and not putting white right directly down over the bed straight over the bit hey Brian, why don’t you take a level and draw your level line just above there where 3/8 is and run a saw across there and take that back to the level length from corner to corner and then you’ll be OK on your drywall. You’re only supposed to use inch and a quarter screws.
This is a radical idea in these days, but if you had a small hand saw up on the scaffolding it would of been quicker .
I was thinking it but worried I wouldn’t be able to cut it well lol
Certainly moving forward, I wouldn't have put the drywall in the bedtooms, you'll end up moving it twice more, complete floor space for the lid, I hope your using a drywall lift? There is a way of loading a house, try to minimize how many times you muscle a sheet, that will wear you out! What ever you do, do not line up your butt joints! Your mudd will crack at the joints, half or at least one quarter of a sheet stagger, like brick patterns, good luck
I know, I wish the drywall was on the walls in the bedrooms. Kinda sucks
@SimpleLivingwithBiata I've left the smaller rooms empty, and loaded in your case the walls along the cathedral ceiling so you have enough room to handle sheets going up on the ceiling and enough room to work, I've had to do whole houses like yours by myself, you make every motion count, get about 8 to 10 screws in each sheet, always mark your rafters, studs, with a screw so you don't miss, hang and secure, then move to the next, once a room is done being hung, go to the next room or plane, those vaults are going to be rough so brace yourself, you can go back and screw the rest of the rooms anytime, Idk if your code has screw inspections or not but it's usual of 5 screws off a 4 foot span, one on each end one in the middle and 2 between the gap off center, a screw tip will help immensely, 1 1/4-1 5/8 nominal screw lengths, I just use a cordless drill, I've done all the fancy tools to zip them in but a drill with the right tip does the job, if you have any questions before you start ask away I'll be at the phone today,
I was assuming you were trimming out the closet. I shouldn’t assume. 😊 I wasn’t a fan of drywall finishing door openings. They always got dinged up. But not against it. 😊
I think it will make more sense once the cabinet try goes in :). It’s only like 2” of the corner that’s going to show and then it will be the cabinet :)! I will be finishing the two big doorway openings with drywall but there won’t be doors hung on it
Hey Sweets....Luvs From Vermont

Drywall is boring, BUT WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES! You think the insulation made it feel like rooms - well the drywall will brighten it all up and you will be amazed at the difference. Then comes the tedious part - taping and mudding! BUT it's getting you that much closer to moving in!!! YAY!
Oh I’m sooooo excited!!!!
The reason your hole saw is jumping around like that is because the pilot bit is too short. It looks like it is barely sticking beyond the saw, but maybe it's just my perspective from the video? If it protrudes a bit further so that it can get down in to the wood, the saw will stay in place. Some down pressure on the drill will help too!
Drywall....oh...you're gonna have fun with that. Hanging it is the easy part....muddin' and tapin' and sandin'...well....embrace the suck. You'll get it though, no doubt!
👍
I would put the TV lower. really as low as it can go - when you sit in the sofa and put your feet on something, so your feet are not in the view of bottom of TV. Than you can just watch straight in front of you and not hurt your neck facing up all the time.
I’ll look into this! Thanks!
