Hanging Drywall on Walls | Drywall Installation Guide Part 4

welcome to our tutorial on how to hang drywall there's not a whole lot to talk about until we have it so let's go get start put it right into the corner okay you get to drive the ship all right I know I just close it like a door okay that's easiest I know we both live together can we make your side tight to the right enough okay and then you can see how the gap at the ceiling is closed real nice there we go so when you're installing a wall you only need a couple screws and then mark what about midpoint up if you only put them in the bottom you know turn around to walk away you'll open a door to leave room create a vacuum with the hair pressure and you pull it right off the well some poor sucker by sitting here doing some working take the back of the head never a good thing before you put the bottom one on mark all your stats by putting a screw in them all right and you can get your assistant or your kids to fill in all the screws later what's the height here to the ground and because this is a concrete floor underneath we want to measure all three spots actual number is forty four and a half forty five 45 there okay so when you're figuring out what to cut you take your shortest number and you cut it all to fit this okay so instead of one forty four and a half that'll be tight we're going to go cut the whole thing at forty four so I have a half-inch gap there and a one-inch gap there it's not going to matter after the flooring is on we have a three inch base port lots of meet the work out real well don't be afraid to leave a gap underneath your drywall about an inch if you're going directly to concrete you definitely have to leave the inch never want drywall in contact with your concrete it'll pull the moisture out of the concrete into the wall board guaranteed to feed the mold that's naturally occurring in the wood and your baseboards are gonna go black okay have we marked the floor plug yeah beautiful to the ground where did you mark it Oh on the floor okay that's cool so I went to the store to pick up a panel lifter cuz I got a couple cheats that I usually use but I thought you know if I'm teaching people how to do this on a video I should probably teach them about this great little tool there's a lot of different options out there were in the piano lifting Department basically it's just a foot it's a lever point you step on it you lift the drywall and the idea is to save you time and money and energy you really want to get this nice and tight the gap it's the one you're gonna tape and the gap but the ground doesn't matter so we're gonna push it to the wall I'm gonna lift it up alright there you go Toronto screw you know mission accomplished not a bad little tool it's a beautiful thing alright now like I've been preaching I always cut your holes as you go 14 up from the ground [Music] [Music] well that mark was close your mark was on the right side of the box so I thought that meant middle when you install your studs in your wall level and straight it's so much easier to put in a screw you can just hold roughly where you were release the drill and gravity falls that's where the wood is it's so easy you'll never miss and you'll never have all those annoying little holes to repair all right so that basically covers all of the basics on how to install drywall there's a couple of other little things that you we're gonna learn one of them is if you're having two sheets of drywall butt up against each other you want to have it joint on a stud right in the middle so in that scenario let's fill it this way if this is where the two sheets are gonna meet this is where you want them to meet right in the middle line so if I'm gonna be cutting a sheet like that I actually want to measure from the corner to that pencil line all right take that measurement and go out to your drywall and then measure off your drywall from here to the measurement and make the rough cut on the inside corner leave all the factory edges butting up against each other cuz whenever you cut drywall you always get a little rigid bumps if you screw that up grab your rasp this is like a file for drywall works awesome you can clean it up make sure all your joints are nice and tight other than installing your drywall all you need to know is how to tape it so watch our other videos make sure to subscribe to the channel make sure to check out this project video this is gonna be a lot of fun so looking forward to seeing you next time if you're enjoying these videos subscribe to the channel hit the like button but most importantly comment on the videos by all means or suggestion in video you'd like to see let us know we'd love to be in touch
