I know that this video is for beginners so you're probably not doing things the way you normally
do. I used to watch these professional crews hang drywall so fast it was unbelievable to me. I
always wonder how they know where the ceiling joist are because the gun never stops insert a
screw, screw it in and on-and-on

Quality Drywall Finishing

I'll share some short cuts I've learned through years of experience that might help. Many of these
methods are literally 10 times faster than what I am observing in your video. I hope these will be
beneficial to your work.

Although you are explaining things well, the rasp you are showing is for carpentry, I recommend a
drywall rasp, they are more coarse and will get the job done faster.

Another tip that will speed things up a bit is instead of measuring from the wall on the right to the
center of your box, simply put a vertical mark on the wall plate at the top of the wall where the
center of the electrical box is. Since the mark does not have to be precise you can usually eye
ball it from that mark and you only have to measure from the wall out to the box from the shortest
distance. You do not have to mark the center of the box on the drywall before you hang it, you
simply hang your drywall and only put screws in the perimeter so the board is snug to the box but
not over tight. Then simply locate your vertical mark at the top of the wall and measure your
distance out which was 11" and mark the board.

Also, you're cutting your board the long, hard way. When we rip our board we leave it leaning
against the wall. We hold the tape measure on the top edge of the board at the number we want
while holding the knife at the end of the tape. In one move we hold the tape measure as our guide
while sliding it down the length of the board as we cut the board. Bear in mind that when cutting
drywall it does not have to be a precise cut. It can be a quarter of an inch too short and when you
hang the board on the wall it will still cover any gap in the corner.

Usually the purpose on an 8' ceiling being framed in at 8' 1" is as you say because the board on
the ceiling is usually ". However, it has nothing to do with allowing a " gap at the bottom of the
wall board. It has more to do with allowing " for flooring so the finished room is 8' high at
completion.

Good luck in what you do.

Fantastic video for the beginner from start to end. I started on my own but was savvy enough to
at least mud the tape on the wall in the joints and corners with lots of mud, whew? I then fumbled
around a bit from there trying to sand areas smooth and fill in. Had no skill at troweling. Today I
began again trying to implement the instruction. The secrets I found so far are: In a very dry
basement like mine it helps to wet the tape. Keep tools really clean and dry. One of mine rusted
overnight from moisture. Keep the edges as clean and smooth as possible on the mud passes. I
surrendered and bought a mixer. Cutting my premix box down with a couple of sponges of water
was like a miracle of light:-) Mud is so much more workable and edges are easier to smooth out.
Just have to get confidence to use the big trowel? Only on the second coat but it is improving.
There is a real art to doing this well. Thanks for being generous enough to share what was
probably a lot of dedication to get to where you are.

Seriously great tutorial! I have a project in mind to board up some windows in my house in Japan
to cut out some of the road noise in my room where I record audio and it seems like Drywall is
much easier than using plywood. And I hope that the heavy plaster material is better than wood at
blocking outside sound from getting in. In fact, because Drywall sheets are so cheap I am thinking
to have 2 panels sandwiched together - maybe you have a tip on how to stick an extra sheet to
the back of a front-facing sheet? I guess that just screws should be enough. And I will have just
air between the panel and the outside glass windows.

in a house is 8'1" or 9'1". For an 8' wall after you board the ceiling you are left with 8' 1/2". That
allows for the easy install of 2 rows of drywall with 1/2" left at the bottom.

first, you make sure they line up and have a snug fit so you don't have a big gap, second, you
didn't score the outside of the drywall so you would get a clean cut, third you don't push the tape
into the seam, fourth, you go from the middle out when applying the tape, and last, you don't need
to put on so much mud/plaster. feather it down to the wall, you would have saved yourself so
much work.

I am a builder here in Australia, and i don't get why you do not use Stud Adhesive to glue your
Gyprock (Drywall) sheets to the ceiling and wall framework along with screwing it, because here
in Australia it is mandatory to use the Adhesive so the Gyprock does not POP from the screw
heads and literally fall off the framework, especially on the ceiling sheets.
I have also seen some English videos of Drywall fixing and they don't use any kind of Adhesive
either, and i personally think it is a silly idea, and very dangerous.
Also, you do not cut a sheet for the ceiling and place the Tapered edge to the wall sheet, that is
not right, you always put the cut edge to the wall, and leave the tapered edge away from the wall
so if you are hanging another sheet beside it, you have both your tapered joints together,
common sense i would have thought.
Philippines Trip 2014
Philippines Trip 20141 ano atrs
i don't get you comment about politicians, what has that got to do with gluing drywall to framework
?
Anyway, each to their own, but relying on the head of a screw or nail not popping thru the paper
on the drywall sheet to hold it in place is pretty lame in my opinion.
Kody Horvey
Kody Horvey1 ano atrs
+Philippines Trip 2014 Good points and I see what you are saying. I've had boarders ask me why
I don't glue the drywall and it's for a lot of reasons. The biggest reason is that I trust a screw
through the sheet holding in by the face of the board vs. a glue bond that relies on the paper of
the back of the sheet to hold it forever. Sure you minimize screw pops but that's about it.

Now a lot of guys here think that since you glue it you only need a few screws to hold the sheet.
Well what happens is the glue either films over before the sheet get put up (zero bond and a lump
of glue pushing the sheet out) or the installers don't slide or press the sheet against the framing
thus resulting in another poor bond.
Here in Canada we use a poly vapour barrier on all exteriors and ceilings (Our company builds
ICF houses so no poly required on walls) . Glue doesn't stick to poly very well and if it did then
you would be relying on a staple that's in the poly to hold up your sheets.

The other thing that happens here is boarders or tapers never see the end result. They do one
job and then on to the other. As for us we are there until the very end of the project and what i've
seen in the few houses I let guys glue is that the drywall rattles on the walls. Like I said very few
screws and poop glue bonds to studs.

The debate will go on I'm sure but I still would never trust a glue bond to paper to hold up
gyprock. The best would be enough screws to actually allow the glue to press into the framing.

As for the tapered edge thought. It's when i'm doing bulkheads that I install the taper to an inside
corner vs. putting it on an outside corner. In big rooms of course all factories face each other...
especially the tapered ones.

Cheers!!

A little trick I learned over the years is for the first coat you apply a narrow strip over the tape and
then another narrow strip on each side just a few inches away from the middle row. This leave a
gap that you then fill in during the second coat. It's a good way to avoid lines from the trowel
overlapping the wet mud. The third coat can then be applied with very little scraping.

You don't put the factory recessed/bevel edge into in to the corner where the ceiling where it
meets the wall board.
The bevel edges go together to form a recess area where the boards join to recess the tape and
help to stop too much of a concave thickness of mud so when it's sanded you get a nice flat
seam.
The other way you get a bevelled edge against a full thickness butt edge in the middle of the
ceiling.
That doesn't work... sorry.
It's common place to do the corners and make them look good if you know what you are doing.
Also, if this is for absolute beginners I think I'd like to know the spacing and positioning of the
drywall screws and how many per board.

Great instructional video Kody. Thank you.
I am rebuilding my shower, including replacing the rusted out metal studs and track in the wall.
The floor to truss distance is 8'1" like you said, so my metal studs will also be around 8'1". Why
are the metal studs in the store only 8'? Now, I need to buy the 10' metal studs and cut each one
to length. Is it normal to need to cut metal studs to length?

Also, if metal studs are suppose to mimic wood studs, why are they 3 5/8" deep instead of 3 1/2"
like wood studs? Thank you!
Kody Horvey
Kody Horvey2 anos atrs
+Nicholas Hoffenpiper It is very normal to cut metal studs to length. Wood studs are designed at
the proper length so when building a house you don't have to cut a few hundred of them at a time.
I guess metal ones are used for so many applications that they keep the lengths to even
numbers. I'm not exactly sure why the depth of a metal stud is different but it does make it tricky.

I learned a method to perfectly locate and mark electrical boxes for cutout in drywall. It requires
no measuring and no zip tools. Simply borrow an old lipstick from your better half and apply it to
the perimeter face of the box. Carefully place the drywall sheet in place and press it against the
box. The lipstick will transfer to the drywall sheet, leaving a perfect impression exactly where to
cut. I use a drywall keyhole-type hand saw. It never fails - quick and easy. And by the way, a
great way to get your half inch spacing on the bottom is simply place a couple of scrap drywall
pieces on the floor and set the sheet on it. Great video. Thanks for the tips.

What are your thoughts on 5/8" versus 1/2" for ceilings?

If using 1/2" make sure to get ceiling board which is more rigid than regular 1/2". As for
1/2"ceiling board vs. 5/8" I would have to say 5/8" is better. Not 100% on that but when cutting it
you can definitely tell how solid it is.

Thank you for that! I do appreciate it. It does have a ton of detail and was a bit painful watching it
over and over as we made edits but thought it would be a big help for those who are not pro's.
