    Good work Shannon. I always wear a dust mask when I do this kind of work on my house. I have been blessed/cursed with an older house built by the original owner who obviously thought he was a master carpenter. He was most definitely not. A dust mask can also protect you from mouse doo-doo inside the walls. That stuff can be bad news. keep up the work. Your videos are extremely helpful.

    You may want to take note of where you used your saw and after removing drywall if there was an area close to wiring as in this wall check the wiring to make sure you did not damage it.

I would suggest tipping the outlet down so dust can't fall into it. Also, as someone mentioned earlier, to be safe, I would check the cable for damage at the location where the saw cut across.

Unfortunately for me, there is plumbing and a tile counter/sink and toilet in the way lol. Oh and I subscribed.

    1 x crate opener as wedge or anything but not your fingers!
    1 x safety glass
    1 x dust mask
    1 x electrical screwdriver to remove the plug outlet
    Maybe hand gloves too to prevent cuts.
    And of coz, cleaning and disposal of drywall parts in the end.

    Excellent video. I am going to tear out two kitchen walls this weekend. I assumed by watching the DIY t.v. shows that I was going to just hammer away at the walls to remove the old drywall. But doing it your way is better. Then I can have new plumbing and electrical completed which will make my kitchen renovation much easier.

    In California where I live you have to have the sheetrock inspected after it's hung and before mud and tape (because of earthquake standards). They wouldn't be very happy to see edge nails and glue. 12/4 is mostly the nail pattern here. But the glue sure made taking it down a breeze, and took care of that wall paper removal in the process...

    Shannon we often take a reciprocating saw with a shortened blade so you don't cut electrical wires and then cut the drywall between the studs allowing us to just rip off the strips. I would like to see what you do when it is time to tape at the ceiling.
    PS check out the wallboarders buddy drywall cutter. I just finished off a whole house for the first time in 40 years. There were 120 corner beads to set and 8" window returns throughout the house as the house has 14" thick walls. It sure made the job easier
