    I have been doing this for 24 years and I never knew about those wire splicers. I also have never used those corner pieces. We usually just rivet things like that for odd diffuses and such. I think I'll check into getting those next time since they make for a cleaner job. This why I like to check out videos like this even though I have done this for years. If you ever feel like you are too smart to learn any more, you're not very smart at all.

    I do commercial framing and acoustic ceilings are part of that. Some additional tips:. When securing wall mold to drywall make sure you are not screwing into the studs. It's easy to tell where the studs are because they will either be visible at that height or the drywall itself wont be finished at that height (finished as in drywall compound applied to joints) so look for for the screws to know where the studs are. If my blueprints call for the ceiling to be at 9 foot then I will take several measurements around the room as floors are never 100 percent level. Look for the highest point and measure your 9ft there, that way you have a minimum of 9ft all around the room. To find the high point you can put your laser at just a few feet above the ground. Turn it on and measure down on all the walls from the laser to the floor. The shortest measurement will be your highest point.

    I've done a couple of suspended ceilings in my home and the one thing Ive learned is to NOT use the crumbly style tiles but instead the flexible fiberglass ones. The crumbly ones crack and stain too easily and you can install the ceiling higher because you dont have to leave nearly as much room above the tracks to feed the tiles over and drop into place

    • @MrMagnuminium
      @MrMagnuminium Před 6 lety +1

      Freedom WatchDog maybe they didn't want a 12" peice of main on the other side.

    • @Michael.80
      @Michael.80 Před 3 lety +1

      It's not 9' from the wall. It's 9' from last cross tee slot on the runner to the intersection of the crossing dry line, which is one border tile (16") + half a 24" main tile (12") away from the wall. Then they add 28" (16" + 12") to that 9' mark and cut the runner. So the first main runner is cut at 136" from the last cross tee slot. (Note, the last cross tee slot is 3" from the end of the runner. So the cut is actually at ~139", with ~5" of waste. But you always make your reference marks in relation to a cross tee slot, not from the end of the runner.) You can never use a full 12' runner starting/ending at a wall.

      Thanks for your comment Jordan. It’s all about getting the proper layout first with your laser or string lines. After you can insure everything is laid out square, it’s not that complicated. The first time you do it, it will take about 10 times longer than the 5th time you do it. But I guess many things in life are like that, Lol

      @@freedomwatchdog2495 Good question. I was wondering the same thing at first; they should have explained it. But after thinking about it for a while, I believe the reason is because when they start installing the cross tees, the cross dry line would be in the way (plus the cross dry line position could be disturbed by the installation of the cross tee). Since cross tee slots on the main runners are spaced every 6", it's just easier to place the cross dry line at half a tile (1 foot for 24" tiles or 2 feet for 48" tiles) and reference the cross tee slots from the center of the tile.

      A. Boisjoli not as easy as you may think. I have done commercial installations as a wall and ceiling contractor for over 20 yrs and let me tell you, most people think it is easy. once you actually start, it can get confusing. 1st, layout is critical as certain points must be considered in case a light fixture has to fit up against a column and not into the column (lol). then once you begin, what happens if it isn't square? adjustments need to be done correctly so it doesn't run out on one side or the other. then, light layout, runner layout, different layout, all before you begin. pop rivet only 2 walls for expansion, set up lines, not as easy as one thinks. many have told me they had over 20 yrs experience and when I showed them some plans and told them to go install those rooms over there, then they get lost. really not as easy as one thinks, but when you do know, it is like a jig saw puzzle with all the same pieces, piece of cake. do not fool yourself into believing it is just so so easy, cuz as a beginner there are so many things that will confuse you and mess it up, and believe me, time is money and I know how long it should take someone to install grid
