Who out there is gearing up for a garage makeover?! We want to hear how it's going and what you're using to get it organized!
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
Sounds like a big project! Glad this was helpful.
I just bought a 50-year-old house and going to try to do the same. Did y'all rewire the house yoursleves?
@@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.
Marry that girl! She’s a keeper!
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!
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!!
Thanks Nestrs. Got volunteer drywall work at the church this week. Don't want to be the only ignorant one showing up.
NotSoHandyTim, First, love the handle 😂 Hopefully this gave you enough info to impressed a few people at church. Thanks for the comment!
You'll probably be the one bossing everybody around.
Just had my son's shower pipe burst and now in the middle of Demo'ing and redoing the whole thing myself. This was extremely helpful! Thank you!!!
Appreciate the video... Did drywall, but tired of the professionals treating me like they dont wana teach me and have me for a helping hand... Now I can go to work and show them that I know a thang or 2...
Rock on Money Hungry!
Money Hungry I hate that too. You’d think they would want the help. I try and learn and save money on every job. I speak with them before hand and let them know my agenda so the pros that don’t give me time I don’t use.
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!
That’s awesome Philip! Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for tossing the eight foot long precision measuring tool to the floor. Very professional.
Isn't this the best drywall installation video or what? Thank you very much.
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 CZcams videos. For some reason, the drywall has me the most anxious.
Hey David, that’s great! Hanging is easy. Finishing will take a little more patience. Have fun!
My buddy got me some work helping him with painting and drywall. But I've never hung drywall. So thanks for this!
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!
For a garage I think "doesn't look horrible" is a good standard
The way he runs to get the leveler 😂😂😂 I love this channel!!
...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.
Finishing off a basement this helped a lot guys.
Awesome Mike! Thanks for the comment.
This is really helpful. I'm finishing the ceiling in my cabin, and this is exactly the kind of tutorial I needed. Thank you so much!
I'm doing the same for my 16x30 cabin.
Putting up dry wall for the first time and the plug trick is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!
This is the best drywall video I’ve seen guys!
“It’s not cocaine it’s drywall” much more effective yet suspicious shirt
Bahahaha 😆
I don’t even hang drywall and I want this on a shirt. ....I also don’t do cocaine just to clear that up as well lol
Haaaa Nice comment 😢🎉😮
The fact he threw his level had me
@@87tarrah😂
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?
Nice having such a pleasant helper.
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!!!! this video really explained lots and I will be sure to have it playing and i will definitely be rewinding it about a thousand times!!!!!
You guys are amazing. I'm itching to do drywall now.
Thanks Nevin!
2:36 "I screw everything... just screw everything" awesome!!
Yeah and butt joints! Lololol
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
Hey Sam, thanks for the comment!
*YOU GUYS MADE IT LOOK SO EASY!*
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
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! 🍻
Great video! I was so nervous when you were cutting around the outlet (for the wires!) I can see why you suggest hanging drywall before electical.
Most of the new 1/2 board today is OK for the ceiling, it's made different than in past!
She is so in love with you bro!!
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!!
Very good point Ron! Thanks for the comment!
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.
Be carefull to use a moisture proof drywalls. Best of luck!
6:20 little tips like that ... gold, thanks!
Absolutely!
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!
In real life we are very serious 😉 Thanks for the comment!
Awesome vid, thanks for the tips! Also, your assistant is beautiful!
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 !
nice bud joint 🙂
Wow! I wish my helper looked like that!
Me too. He kinda cute.
@@iamwooth1729 haha classic
😂
I bet you do! She's WAY out your league LOL!!!! Stick to the fatties bro. Stay in your lane.
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 !
Its insulation
That was great dude
Once I buy the 8' level, I won't have enough money for the insulation and the drywall.
VCR Time Machine Bahahaha, a 4’ level will be fine.
Harbor freight. Levels work good enough for drywalling
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.
Wich vcr works better for a time machine a beta or vhs a Sanyo or Sony?
And he just throws it into a pile
Great job. Great video
You guys are friggin' adorable AND i learned what i was looking to learn about putting up a drywall ceiling. Dig it, man!
Good stuff I’ve watched 10 videos for beginners this actually helped me
Always good to hear. Thanks for the comment!
subscribed, was going to hire my little project out but gonna buy the tools and do it myself, thanks for the video.
Steffen Kightlinger, Awesome! Let us know how it goes.
When using rotozip always go Counter-Clockwise ! But great video!
Yep, that was a long weekend 👍🏼 Thanks for the comment.
@@Nestrs he went counter on the circle then clockwise upon the outlet. Also never mentioned to start screwing in the middle not on apt he edges
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
Great video and I am going to be starting next month on my project at 🏠.
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!
Rotozip or router clockwise for windows and door frames counter clockwise for lights and electrical boxes
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.
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
That was excellent. I’m sure it’s not but you make it look easy.
Thanks David! It got easier over time...
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).
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!
Shorty a lil baddie but I definitely learned a lot from this video I appreciate it 🤝
huh...huh..butt joint. Thanks for all the help. Under taking my first wall today
Good tip about not screwing in the edge until the next piece is in place
Great job on three video. Easy to understand. I'm ready to tackle my project now. Thanks guys
Thanks for the comment! Let us know how your project goes.
How’d it go?
This video was very good to understand. Awesome job!
msterrim81, thanks for the comment!
Ok, this video was pretty freaking awesome.
Thanks Media Bear!
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.
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💯💯👷♂️🛠
Love the video, thanks for sharing ❤️
Great videos.. informative and funny is a good combo. Thanks!
Wanted to see the tape and mudding part... Thats all I got questions on..
Check out our video on that here…
czcams.com/video/Rrr2J_pBDtk/video.html
Great! just what me and my 2 sisters need to do one sister's home
Love that! Good luck and thanks for the comment.
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.
Thank you, it looked like he was going counter clockwise, but wasn't sure if the video was reversed.
Can you make a diy on installing insulation? And one on running electric?
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
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.
I love this video it’s fun and so detailed and informative thank you so much
Thank YOU so much!
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
Omg I had a heart attack when you tossed that level
Loved the video. Do you have anything concerning hanging drywall on angled walls? Like the wall slopes up towards the ceiling.
Oh my god. The way he just tossed the level physically HURT me. 🤮 😂
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 🤣
That's just "calibrating" it.
Crazy throwing tools.
-YEAH...me 2!
Dierks Bentley what was I thinking
youre supposed to go counter clock wise with that tool
These were the kind of tips I was looking for! Those "keep in mind for next step" tips are the best
This video should have been called: "How to hang drywall in fabulous way" lol
Thanks Vesko Ruychev!
Haha so true vesko
They are both cute!
Is it necessary to get a drywall jack? Or can two people reasonably lift it themselves
Not only is the video instructional, but it's also fun. Thanks.
Wow. excellent video. U guys make it look really easy. Thanks.
ShoresOfHelll Glad you liked it and thanks for the comment!
Can I borrow your assistant? She has the best vibrant smile I have ever seen on the internet.
That video was very helpful guys just what I was looking for. Thank you somuch .
Cleme Juan, Thanks for the comment!
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 Doug!
Notice that he says clockwise then cuts counter clockwise. Sloppy cut too. I’m already better than you and I just started. Have a nice day!
I gotnews for ya! Screws pop just like nails!
She is stunningly beautiful!
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.
What kind of insulation did you use for the walls and the roof?
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!
Great tips, about to do my garage and you easily answered my questions . Thanks
Thanks for the comment Ron!
I love the part where you mud and do the tape finish!
he really just threw the level....woooww
Mukund Gajera lol, no need to loose sleep over that. No tools were harmed during the making of this video. It was safely and carefully caught by a trained professional. Thanks for the comment!
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!
The best part of the video is Sara
9:27 I'm dead... what did he just carve out there? 😂 funny video really loved it
I've torn apart 40 year old bathrooms that have water damage and those nails were not letting loose at all.
The materials we use today vs the materials that were used 40 years ago are different.
The only reason I watched this video,, was to see where to to put the edge of the drywall.. not all my studs at 16” apart. It looks like you end the piece right at the middle of the 2x4 and start the next piece on the same 2x4. Ok thanks
