Several tips I didn't know, and I've done several drywall projects. The bit about not screwing in the joining stud until the other piece is hung is VERY COOL. Thank you!
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
@@benfontenot9896 yes we did. You're supposed to pull permits for it, but we opted not to. We did the wiring while the walls were open before insulation and drywall. It makes life much much easier. If you have any questions, let me know
I am literally about to start the same project. My aunt is letting my buy her 140 year old house off of her for whatever is owed on it. Its a massive place and it will be so pretty when its done.
Thank you, thank you, thank you ...for not talking about what you're "going to do", (for 20 minutes) before doing it! Your style is totally to the point, and doesn't waste my time! I just subscribed!!

Just hung drywall in my garage! This video was sooo helpful! Obviously I’m not a professional and I’ve never done this before so it’s not 100% perfect, but it’s doing the job I need it to do and it doesn’t look horrible! Thanks so much!
Good advice but didn’t answer my questions about hanging dw around doors and windows. Specifically, where do you stop, at the stud, at the door frame or window frame?
...and THANKS TO YOU BOTH, and finding this video THIS MORNING, TONIGHT I am no longer a drywall virgin, having hung my 1st two 4x8 sheets of dw!!! Straight cut, placed and screwed, likewise...no missed studs either! The shyt looks BAAAAAD! Hi-5 Nick and Sara(h)! Thanks so much.
I'm turning 16 very soon and I've been asked by a few people to help them with drywall because they are low on staff and really could use the help. I have hardly any experience at all and the people that are considering highering me are aware of this too. I'm very thankful for this video because it will allow me to do a better job on peoples homes. Thanks again!
Good job. U guys answered my question on why put up strapping. My next question is the wood strapping pressure treated ? My ceiling caved in in the living room. No water damage so insurance won't cover. My first time doing this job with my son who just graduated from Ranken Carpentry. It's our project.
Hey Los Moore, I would never use pressure treated wood in an interior space. Lots of nasty chemicals that you and your family will potential breath in. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment 👍🏼
Thank you for the awesome video!! I built a restroom in my shop and have everything done now. . .except the drywall. I framed, wired, and plumbed it with only the help from my friends and RUclips videos. For some reason, the drywall has me the most anxious.
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.
I’m working with my dad with is construction remodeling thing and we have a 1100 job we are doing on this so I want a head start on it, thx for the video
Thanks for the comment Joshua. 100% For doorways you can save some time and Rotozip bits by using your saw and box cutter. Plus you will cut down on the dust.
I want to dry wall my garage and I’m curious as to what that stuff is in between the studs and why is it there? As well as do I need it if my garage doesn’t have it? Very informative video and want to try it out after I get a little more information about it. Thank you !
I would love to work with you as my boss/ teacher cause your great at being very informative and very easy to understand cause alot of times guy try to use slang terms i think they think it makes them seem like it gives the impression they been around that type of work for a long time but it doesn't help the new comer that is unfamiliar with the slang lingo, just speak using normal words it really helps, thank you for that and that was an awesome video i picked up so many helpful tips that I am going to use at home and for future jobs
If u go counter clockwise when routering the outside of something clockwise when it’s a inside cut like window or door the router won’t try to run away
Thanks for this video it’s so helpful! I’m trying to drywall and old attic with old outlets/light fixtures. Now I don’t feel so unprepared, thanks! Y’all are so funny!
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.
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.
One alteration I would make would be explaining that the drywall should not touch the floor, great video though. I appreciate that it's not monotonous like most build videos!!
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.
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!
Thanks for the video I hadn't thought about eating using a rotozip. I just purchased my drywall from Lowe's and will be hanging it within the next week. Question, would it be easier to do the floor level first and then go up from there so you can use it to hold the upper panels? Also what kind of space do I need between the concrete and the bottom of the sheetrock? Thanks great video
Thanks Rick! You want to start hanging the top sheet to avoid gaps. You want your gap at the bottom that trim will cover. Hope that helps and have fun!
Thank you for the quick response I really appreciate it. I'll be hanging the drywall within the next week My roof is actually a hanger in my backyard. The trusses spanned perpendicular with a hanger door except for the sides which are about 8 ft go parallel with a door which way do you suggest that I start the sheetrock? Thanks
@@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.
@@Nestrs Thank you for all the responses. The ceiling height is 14 ft. I wish I could send you a photo of the selling that might give you a better idea of how or which way to place the 4x8s I have.
@@rickanthony8259 for 14 foot ceilings I would consider stacking it. Use a small piece of drywall at the bottom of the wall to stack your first piece so there is a 1/2 or 5/8 inch gap between the floor and the first piece of drywall you hang. Good luck and please let me know how it goes!
Very nice vid, and very well explained I am getting ready to do a room that I just built thanks for the good vid, and you made it fun with your jokes, thank you, thank you !
jaida locke rest assure no tools were harmed in the making of this video 😂 Sarah caught the level when I gently tossed it to her. Not sure if it showed but I was nervous throwing it. We have gotten so many comments about it 🤣
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.
Around 6:30 you say never screw the factory edge incase of blowouts. Im assuming that applies for both edges (top and side)? Does that also apply to the walls? How close does the wall go to the roof? Is there any gap or is it pushed on flush before screwing. (Like is there anything i will be putting in between the wall and roof or is the roof board directly resting on the wall)
theironninja314 good questions... you will want to hang ceiling boards first and flush to the studs. Don’t screw any of your edges until they are against a stud or another sheet of drywall to prevent blowouts. This goes for ceilings and walls. All joints should be tight and flush to all adjacent surfaces. For example, your wall boards should be up against your ceiling boards (no gaps). I hope that helps and good luck!
I just bought my first house and am about to drywall the bathroom. This video will be on repeat the entire time! Thanks for the great quality and information.
On all the videos I've watched such as homerenovisions, you should be going counterclockwise when roto zip an outlet. Find the center of the box, disconnect the wires, fold them in so no wires are cut.Start at center to the inside edge, jump to outside edge and roto zip counterclockwise.
Read comments?… read them… 1. What size screw for 5/8 on ceiling? 1 1/2? 2. Can I make a kicker? 3. What is best for muddin’ , spade or 15 in 1, floater? 4. What grade grit sandpaper for the smoothing? 5. Do you recommend scaffold alternatives… for high ceilings? Mahalo
Great video. I am building a small soundproof, totally enclosed cubicle. I am going to double up with 5/8" drywall and use green glue in between. Do I have to mud and tape the first layer of joined drywall, and then do the same for the 2nd layer?
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.
2m in and I'm hiring a contractor. Just the long list of tools and the 8ft level was enough. Thank you guys for showing me my limitations. Can I still wear the T-shirt though? (I think so).
Yep, ideally you want to hang the drywall before the outlets are in 😊 If that is the case, My suggestion would be to turn off the power, unscrew the outlet and push it to one side and rotozip one side at a time while moving the outlet as you go. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment!
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
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.
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.
can someone tell me the reason why you would not hang the 4x8 ft (for 8' ceiling height)sheet vertically long 8' from floor to ceiling instead of two sheets hung horizontally?
Hey nmbr1bassr, we have had this question a few times in the comments. Hanging the drywall horizontally has a number of benefits. Less linear footage about 25% for taping and finishing which saves time and money. More importantly it hides uneven studs. This allows you to flow over the framing so that bowed studs create less of a problem. Hope that helps!
Do you have any advice for covering a 2% asbestos popcorn ceiling with drywall? quotes to abate/encapsulate in my area was estimated for $31,000 so going with the pros are just not an option
Am planing to build a seperating wall between two rooms Can yuh advice me whether to use insulation between the drywall or is it overkill for such a simple build?
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.
I need to find a project to try this on. It’s hard getting into apprenticeships these days so I’ll try to attain knowledge and from others and gain experience for myself
Ok I’m not even five minutes into your video here guys and I’m subscribing. I like your no bullshit no superfluidity but still fun way of presenting. I like your logic behind explaining why you choose to do things the way your doing them and I like that you’re having fun with it. I instantly like you guys
@@Nestrs I purposely made gaps between the wall and ceiling because I thought how am I going to put in the mud if the space is so tight. I also left some small gaps in the corners and a very small gap where the two new sheets meet horizontally in the middle. For the butt joints I yet again left a gap because I seen in some vids where these guys cut a v shape to prefill so it doesn't crack. I'm just going have to prefill all the gaps before taping. As for the other side of the basement I have left to do, I will install the drywall tightly.
Well he can’t really lie about his experience. It will show right away. However, don’t let that stop him. His application may be thrown out but hard workers and fast learners that show up are good in my book. I would talk to someone there and see what happens… if it doesn’t work out, next!

Dierks Bentley what was I thinking
How far off the ground ship the drywall sit? Do you have the drywall be Hoyer underlayment and flooring is installed? I need more information
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.
Is it necessary to get a drywall jack? Or can two people reasonably lift it themselves
Can you make a diy on installing insulation? And one on running electric?
The way he runs to get the leveler 😂😂😂 I love this channel!!

Thanks for the comment! Let us know how your project goes.
How’d it go?
I was wondering about using my rotozip with a outlet already installed. Thanks.
Yep, ideally you want to hang the drywall before the outlets are in 😊 If that is the case, My suggestion would be to turn off the power, unscrew the outlet and push it to one side and rotozip one side at a time while moving the outlet as you go. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment!
@@Nestrs also to use black tape around the outlet you removed is helpful. cheers!
Great video for beginners thanks
Israel Casasola thanks for the comment!
Just got to give credit when it’s do looking forward to next video💯💯👷♂️🛠
Most of the new 1/2 board today is OK for the ceiling, it's made different than in past!
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
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
Can someone please tell me if I can hang the drywall horizontally in my tiny house? Thanks
If I need to learn something new, this is where I will be visiting. Love the humor with logically simplified information and the teamwork.
Yes! That’s what we were going for! Thank you Todd!
Love the video, thanks for sharing ❤️
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.
The metal ears/tabs on the receptacle are designed to sit flush in front of the drywall. Much more solid installation if you do it properly.
Thank you so much for the knowledge!
On a more personal note, I would drink a beer with you two any day! My kind of people!
Yes! 🍻
What size drywall screws do you need if you’re hanging 1/2in x 4-ft x 8-ft drywall ?
Hey Quis, I would use 1 1/4” screws. 👍🏼
can someone tell me the reason why you would not hang the 4x8 ft (for 8' ceiling height)sheet vertically long 8' from floor to ceiling instead of two sheets hung horizontally?
Hey nmbr1bassr, we have had this question a few times in the comments. Hanging the drywall horizontally has a number of benefits. Less linear footage about 25% for taping and finishing which saves time and money. More importantly it hides uneven studs. This allows you to flow over the framing so that bowed studs create less of a problem. Hope that helps!
6:20 little tips like that ... gold, thanks!
Absolutely!
Do you have any advice for covering a 2% asbestos popcorn ceiling with drywall? quotes to abate/encapsulate in my area was estimated for $31,000 so going with the pros are just not an option
This video was very good to understand. Awesome job!
msterrim81, thanks for the comment!
That was excellent. I’m sure it’s not but you make it look easy.
Thanks David! It got easier over time...
Good tip about not screwing in the edge until the next piece is in place
Don’t you want to go counterclockwise and not clockwise with the rotozip/spiral saw?
Yep! Man I was exhausted when we filmed this video...
Loved the video. Do you have anything concerning hanging drywall on angled walls? Like the wall slopes up towards the ceiling.
I laughed out loud with the level. Probably better for beginners to start with a 24” and work up to the 8 footer. Great information and humor balance.
Thanks Mark
I love this video it’s fun and so detailed and informative thank you so much
Thank YOU so much!
Dude......You make it look so easy!...😔.....im afraid of starting my little drywall project..........
strong one lol, thank you! It’s ok to be afraid just don’t let it stop you from trying 😊 This trade is easily fixable if you make a mistake.
Yep, try, and if you get in over your head, you can always phone a friend or professional.
which is the best way: cut out the can light holes before you texture and paint the ceiling or should you hang the ceiling then texture and paint?
Hey Lina, always cut your opening first. Finish (mud) and paint after. Also, smooth ceiling are better and texture 😉
Very informative and entertaining...Thanks !
Thanks Susan!
I am about to buy my first home and I want a fixer upper. This helps
Isabel A. Love that! Good luck to you. It will be worth it!
Me too
2:36 "I screw everything... just screw everything" awesome!!
Yeah and butt joints! Lololol
She is so in love with you bro!!
So maybe im missing it but i dont see the link for the "kicker" i can see that saving my back from a lot of pain! Thanks!
Am planing to build a seperating wall between two rooms
Can yuh advice me whether to use insulation between the drywall or is it overkill for such a simple build?
definitely do the insulation- makes it more soundproof
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.
Thanks for the reply you guys rock!
Cheers from Mauritius
Great videos.. informative and funny is a good combo. Thanks!
I need to find a project to try this on. It’s hard getting into apprenticeships these days so I’ll try to attain knowledge and from others and gain experience for myself
Lark Ford diy
youre supposed to go counter clock wise with that tool
Awesome video. Why did you use 5/8 sheeting on ceiling vs 1/2 all around? Thanks!
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.
Ok I’m not even five minutes into your video here guys and I’m subscribing. I like your no bullshit no superfluidity but still fun way of presenting. I like your logic behind explaining why you choose to do things the way your doing them and I like that you’re having fun with it. I instantly like you guys
Do you guys recommend hanging the top sheet first and then bottom? (side walls) or vice versa?
Yep! Top first. Pick up a kicker to raise the lower board to close the gap.
Can you guys do a video on how to do Fiber cement Board and Batten siding on a house? We could sure use some helpful tips on that.
That video was very helpful guys just what I was looking for. Thank you somuch .
Cleme Juan, Thanks for the comment!
Is there suppose to be some kind of gap between the ceiling and wall or is it suppose to be a tight fit?
Tight fit 😉
If you do have some gaps which sometimes happens, fill the gap with mud and cover it with tape. 👍🏼
@@Nestrs I purposely made gaps between the wall and ceiling because I thought how am I going to put in the mud if the space is so tight. I also left some small gaps in the corners and a very small gap where the two new sheets meet horizontally in the middle. For the butt joints I yet again left a gap because I seen in some vids where these guys cut a v shape to prefill so it doesn't crack. I'm just going have to prefill all the gaps before taping. As for the other side of the basement I have left to do, I will install the drywall tightly.
My husband wants to apply at this job for drywall hanging but he has to have 5 years of experience 😭 what should he do
Well he can’t really lie about his experience. It will show right away. However, don’t let that stop him. His application may be thrown out but hard workers and fast learners that show up are good in my book. I would talk to someone there and see what happens… if it doesn’t work out, next!
I didn't see where you put on the white stuff on the walls. What is that please? And why do I put it on?
Hi Regina, I believe you are referring to finishing the drywall. That is in another video we did. Please click the link below and enjoy!
