Thank you to Craftsman, the sponsor of today's video. Because of our sponsor we are able to renovate our friends Sam and G's basement while testing out Craftsman’s V20 complete tool line, specifically made for the DIYer. Sam and G built their beautiful home but after the lockdowns over the past few years their business suffered and as a result they were unable to finish their basement. We're super happy we could help them out AND film this awesome basement finishing series. You are going to love it!

One of the magical things I love about your channel is thay you empower DIYers, you mentioned “a little bit of experience and practice with this you can do a better job than I did”. Sir I just got my first routary tool, not for drywall but for dremel but want to use that for practice for when I do the drywall ceiling one day :)
Gordon here.
I found one at take or leave it, that is a drywall lift. I have to do ALL by myself also. So I diy cause my other half she is not up to it cause of her health. But she still brings my coffee and watches over me. So I look for things like this and now I have help through you.Your ways of doing things help me complete my work. Thanks again,Keep up the good ideas.
That foam does come in handy. Found some big gaps when I removed the wainscoting. Filled them with foam, applied the 45, sanded then primed & painted. Perfect every time. 😉
Me thinking I can do everything you do .....😂
darn right you can. Cheers!
🙋♂️
@Home RenoVision DIY oh yes! Thanks to you I built my own floating deck right before the weather got cold here in the states...now I can't wait for the spring so I can enjoy it😄
I’ve done 12’ on the ceiling, myself, without proper tools, and only a general idea of how to do it.
You can do everything he does he just does it better because he has knowledge and tools.
@@paulvolkmann2979 And faster. Experience gets you speed.
I am not handy at all and I rent so I am limited to what I can do anyway. Despite this, I just love watching this channel as Jeff just seems like a great guy and explains things so well.
Cheers!
I use graph paper when I map out the rooms ( actually did it for my whole house). I can then track square footage, number of sheets of subfloor, and drywall, door frame sizes, wiring and lighting. 2 ft per square. That drywall "machine" was really cheap to rent at the local hardware sore as well and although I had help because the machine IS heavy. I could have installed all of it myself otherwise.
This is so GREAT! I have been hesitant to put mine up in the laundry room because I didn’t want to cause it to not pass inspection.
Foam and drywall, works like a charm.
Merry Christmas!
i install drywall in new homes for a living and ya every thing you said was exactly how it should be done never use a lift but theres a couple guys putting up a sheet so it aint too bad 5/8's will make you wanna cry but thankfully everyone has been using ceiling boards now a days
Merry Christmas Jeff, thank you very much for uploading another useful video.
My pleasure! Merry Christmas to you as well.
I’m doing this all week.cheers
Cheers!
Love your channel very helpful and interesting clearly explain no loud 🔊 music 🎶 and noise in the background to distract
Awesome, thank you!
You are one of the most talented people I have ever seen!
Agreed
Looking good and healthy boss,
Thanks for the free info 👍
Cheers!
I swear it's like you are making videos for my DIY work sometimes. Timing is impeccable. Removing popcorn ceiling drywall and made decision to insulate main floor ceiling and strap it before re-drywalling. I may rent a lift and do it myself, but it included a fairly wide living room so I'll have end joints. Thinking I'll drywall myself and let the pros tape and mud.
Such great content, thanks so much for sharing!
This makes me want to do drywall work.
As an apprentice electrician, thank you for not burying junction boxes, vents, etc. and forgetting to cut it out. Nice work
My electrician also did the drywall job on the ceiling and walls and he forgot to cut some holes lol
@@dominic6055 That is why you call their employer, and have them come back and finish the job properly.
Another good tip is to lock at least one of the wheels of the drywall lift it keeps it from sliding out while ur trying to set the drywall on the lift. Also can use a small scrap piece and chock the wheel so u can kick it out of the way if it doesn’t have locks or they are hard to use
once again..... great video!!!
Merry Xmas Jeff. Learn much from your vids. Wondering if you can make short vid of pocket door install if you haven't already
The drywall lift; the best invention since the wheel.
Have done 10' ceilings with 10', 5/8" fire rated panels alone by using the lift. Not fun or easy but I never do ceilings anymore without the lift.
I always take a video and photos before adding the drywall as a reference after the fact. Also, I’ve used a plumb on a string to mark the centre of lights on the floor, and just reversed the process after the drywall goes up. So much easier, no arrows and measurements on the drywall.
Muito legal essa ferramenta!
Gostei!
Jeff, always enjoy your videos, I’ve saved a ton of time and money doing my own drywall on several projects! Wondering what you think of the craftsman tools?
This was good 👍 thank you
very helpful
Wow - alot of jumps in this one but the content is still golden! (I'm going to make a guess you got a Craftsman sponsorship.)
HVAC guy here, nice job cutting those supply runs out
For lifting the panels into place, I'd first recommend buying the lightweight panels if your budget allows, as it makes a difference for the DIYer doing a whole ceiling. I opted for the help-from-a-neighbor route, as it was far less costly (a case of beer) vs renting a drywall lift. I also installed the last panel, a 30 in by 96 in piece, myself. I first fastened a 2x4 to the wall near one end of the panel; lifted one end of the panel onto the 2x4 "shelf"; then walked the other end into position by climbing up a ladder. Then I started fastening the board from one end to the other. The wall, of course, just has a couple of holes in it, which you can easily patch with joint compound.
Get rid of the gloves, they look gay! Nobody wears gloves! Goggles! Hard hats. Especially if no one is around.
Great video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Do you have any vids about layout of drywall? I've got a garage that's going to need butt joints, and I'm hoping you have something to help for it :)
One thing I haven't found in your great videos is how to deal with crooked studs. Drywall is flexible, and sets up wavy on uneven studs. This may be very visible when one attaches moldings such as chair rail. If a stud is twisted (the surface isn't in plane with the wall) the screw pulls drywall to the stud and I see a bump on one side and a dip on the other.
I used a 3” screw in closet and hit an electrical line. Huge issues. Good lesson learned .
Thanks, Hoser! :)
Cheers Hoser!@!!
entertainment and information, it's a great combination.
Also, have a system and fix your mistakes as you go. Merry Christmas Jeff and family!
When I drywalled my basement ceiling, I had the furring strips run end-to-end, space 12 inches on center, and doubling up every 4 ft so that the edges would be well-supported. then I drew lines down the length of each panel every 12 in. The lines make it dead simple to install the screws (and yes, I used 1.25 in screws!) There's no guesswork involved in fastening the panel.
You posted this two weeks too late, the ceilings already went up and it took 4 of my friends to do one room in 3 hours! Lol
Old school. Loving it!
CHEERS!
Cheers Right back atcha!
You can get potlight rings from electrical supply stores; and just rotozip the hole once drywall is installed.
very true!
can use your laser it shoots a dot up and down put a mark on the floor then when your board is up you can find where your cutout is
Whats the best way to level a legacy style ceiling that is terribly uneven? I’m talking several inch difference. You could get ocean sickness from looking at it lol. This house is true 2by4 style balloon construction.
Do you ever worry about the weight of the drywall pulling the strapping off the floor joists since you just used your framing nailer to put them up?
Needed this video! Im a bit confused when you should drill out pot lights. You should do it after the plaster and paint are done?
before you tape, plaster or paint! you dont want to take the risk and ruin a finished product, always rough in at the basic stages!
@@programmer6428 thank you!
Do you need construction adhesive on the strapping ?
Jeff, has anyone ever told you that you look and sound like a younger version of Odin from God of War: Ragnarok?
Do you know why there are bubbles when you use drywall compound? I was using pre-mixed compound. I just use straight out of the bucket, could that be the problem?
I have a small basement, should I use drywall or drop ceiling,?
Thanks😊
I notice a new emphasis on safety/PPE. Stanley Black & Decker's influence? Surprised they didn't have you wear a bump hat with the drywall lift too...
Right lol. Cheers!
Given that a pipe just burst in my attic, this video is incredibly well-timed. Thanks!
Counter clockwise with the router always .see so many people make that mistake.
What walking stand are you using in this video?
Wouldn't a 1 5/8" screw be too long for 5/8" drywall plus 3/4" strapping?
Jeff, I don't see any acoustic caulk on the vapor barrier.
I showed my GC dad this video and he said he drills before painting because it always slips at least once every 8 holes. What are your thoughts?
Love the content- not a fan of the speed. It's done well, but part of watching a DIY video is processing the content, which is hard to do when all the pauses and real-time working through the problems are edited out!
I wish it was always as simple as a staged video like this. But I need to replace sheetrock on a garage ceiling with a chain-drive rail right in the middle of it. So I can't use the lift. Otherwise a 4x12 sheet on a lift would work perfectly.
do a duct soundproofing video
Surround it with sonoboard like the rest of your ceiling?
The lift is a life saver! Is there any particular reason why you don't use an auto feed drywall screw gun?
Here in New Zealand we have to glue and screw dry wall. Do you ever glue them?
Love the videos man. Hope you enjoy a well earned break this holiday
No good reason to glue drywall. That's just bullshit government regulations, but NZ seems to be becoming a dictatorial regime. Your PM jacinda ardern is a real leftist bitch.
How do you replace it if you glue it? Seems like it would be messy and difficult to take it down. What's the purpose of the glue?
@@evelgreytarot8401 there is no purpose to glue drywall to the studs. Glue boy couldn't even answer you back,
@@evelgreytarot8401 It's New Zealand. That's the only purpose.
What do you do when walls are not square?
You can buy a lift delivered from Amazon for around $110
Can I cut my drywall into smaller pieces in order to lift them? Is that not going to pass inspection? I don’t have a lift. It’s for a 15’x 11’ laundry room.
You can, but you'll have more Joints to tape and mud
👍👍
I have a drop ceiling in my finished basement and i wana make it legal as 2nd unit. Do i have to replace ceiling..?
legal secondary suites need fire separation. That requires a complete fire rated ceiling and many other upgrades to accomplish. best to get a permit and invite the inspector on site to discuss what they want to see when finished. politics and building code collide on this issue so it may be easier than you think depending on your unique situation and region. Cheers!
How did you get the drywall machine in the basement?
A lot of times they fold up. At least the base does so that it is easier to get through doorways
Really enjoy your videos, not a lot of extra blah blah blah. Of course there are times you do move a little fast LOL
Is this guy the Vancouver Carpenter's dad?
dry ceiling
See, I thought you needed 5/8 on the lid.. if you just lifted a 12 ft 5/8 solo I need to reanalyze my life decisions.
Weird seeing craftsman tools
LOL! you do some strange things! throw that can of foam away!
but it works so well. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Lol!! home you and yours have a Merry Christmas as a Happy New Year!
What do you do when the room is not squared ?
Go from the center with your first panel and square everything else off that. He said in this video.
@@Section_230 So you measure then find the center of the measurement and go from there?
@@jgkrus Of the room yeah 👍 That was my understanding of what he said
@@jgkrus 5:35 - 5:50
Your fastener spacing doesn't come anywhere near meeting the IBC codes. Maybe you don't have inspectors?
Why would someone drywal basement ceiling? It needs access

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY thanks 🥰
I hate 8' sheets.
Jeff, been watching you for years, love your teaching. You have always been a great speaker , very knowledgeable, confident, fluid speaking. But this video was very hard for me to watch. Did you hire someone new to edit your videos? After every sentence there is no natural pause. It gets chopped out and abruptly starts the next sentence. They usually do that for speakers who make alot of mistakes, and "ummms." But you have always been flawless on video. Why are you starting to do this ? It's actually so distracting, I dont think I can watch your videos anymore if this continues.
Thanks for the feedback. Cheers!
So you have all that drywall weight hanging from straps you nailed up.
Happy sagging.
I was wondering about that too from his previous video how the straps were held in place. I do ceiling joists a little different than him as I keep all my ceiling flush with spacers between each joist for alignment and placing screws. I use I-joists rated for the length of ceiling run with no support. Also have 'blockers' on the edges so it does not float like on his edge near the ends. Even though I know the walls' drywall will help hold it up as well when lifted off the floor 1/8" to 1/4" gap at floor, no gap on top. Base board will cover that gap, any minor water damage will not be soaked up by the drywall.
you are way overthinking how much drywall weighs, Cheers!
Jeff your videos may be good for some people but NOT FOR ME!!! I have a drop ceiling over an old bathtub. I will guarantee you I will NOT rent a drywall lift for a 60" x 24" drywall area!!! It is very disconcerting that there are no clips that is NAILED at the top of the WALL so it's haning against the wall. Once the drywall is clipped and parallel to the wall all you have to do is lift the drywall up and into the ceiling and use a block for the other side and nall it up. You want to take an elephant to push a child's tricycle!!!
You are talking so fast, I can hardly follow instructions. I would love to learn.
I listen to this stuff in double speed 😂
That belly keeps getting bigger and bigger
