This was a great reference point for my DIY project of refinishing under my basements stairs! Thank you for posting! Would have been a bonus to see more tips on getting the framework and stairs flush prior to laying the dry wall, mine wasn’t as flush as yours! Great job Dan
I always make a habit of leaving the drywall an inch off the floor. You never know when you might get a small flood, like a sump pump fails. Happened twice to me.
@@HomeDIYDan The two 'floods' I had were about an inch. The insurance company restoration guy said "...somebody was thinking here....." They only had to remove a few square ft. of drywall that wicked up water. If you get water to the pantry you should move.
Hello at 1:54 you are using a strip of wood. You say to make the wall even. So if i understand its also the be able to screw the screws at that place otherwise it would be impossible. Sorry english is not my mother tongue.
Overall good video. One pro tip for everyone, always hang your ceiling rock first, it just makes everything easier.
Great video but no mask or vacuum on the sander. Your lungs man!! 😱
Yea lol that was not fun
Where is the video where you demoed the drywall steps. I am trying to fix the squeaks from behind my steps but I have to cut off the exiting drywall.

Thank you! Glad I could help. I’ll keep that in mind for future videos!!
For the first drywall you cut, What measurement did you use to mark the top in order to get the correct angle?

Agreed but if I have a flood and it makes it to the pantry I’m screwed either way

Would I be better off using setting type mud to fill large gaps to avoid shrinking cracks and bubbles?
@@ThinkerTinker74 how big are the gaps

I used the strips just to make the drywall even. Where ever there is a wooden joist you can screw into
Dan, where have you been???
Completely overwhelmed with family stuff, holidays and covid 😭
I’ve got two videos to edit and post I’m hoping to have them up this weekend as long as nothing else crazy happens
@@HomeDIYDan sorry to hear that, I hope you and yours are doing better soon!
Thanks. We’re good now just getting back into the swing of things. Appreciate the support!!!!
So I did it too :D just using Stodoys woodworking plans :)
