T square became one of my favorite tools when doing my basement. I had to carry over 80 sheets of 8' 5/8 down an L staircase completely alone. It certainly wasn't easy but some tips I have. They make these small handles you can buy that the edge drywall slots onto to. It only costs like $15 but gave me almost a foot of extension and saved my fingers. I would do one sheet at a time and do maybe 5 sheets a day while I was still working on insulation/wiring. Lift with your legs, keep back straight. It's a lot of work and intimidating, but it's do-able!
A bonus t-square tip: if you are hanging vertically or cannot see the stud location, take a couple seconds and mark out stud locations on your drywall using the t-square!
As one who delivers building materials, God bless you sir, for making their job easier.
Thanks, it is so easy to set up a jobsite for success. Cheers!
I worked in drywall for 18 years of the 34 years. Always get your drywall from a drywall supply. They will help you. 1/2" sheetrock comes in 8,10,12,14,16' i can teach how do work in drywall, i can't work anymore because my lower back is bad and now I'm disabled
Can you please please make a video about painting a drop ceiling? I follow you religiously and love your knowledge and teachings!
Jeff, in Indiana, USA, we can get 1/2" drywall (white board) in 8', 9', 10' 12', 14', and 16' lengths. Fire rated 5/8" in lengths of 8', 9', 10', 12', and 14'. Not to mention the 2 types of Dense glass in 1/2" and 5/8" in 8' and 10' lengths. Blue board is special order from the East coast used for plaster. We do have the green board still, not used in commercial very often, but also in the same lengths up to 12', I believe.
Wow! That stopped abruptly 😂🤣
Great info as always Jeff.
You just made a perfect world for sheet rock carriers. I worked a long while in a lumber Co. And we never had easy access to where drywall needed to be but we did carry 2 at a time with one guy unless they were 16’. Do not suggest that option but it is quicker
I wish I had seen this three weeks ago.😅
Man....I feel empowered to go do some drywall work now.
We do walls then ceiling here in the UK.
I thought you said in the video you were going to talk about where to buy it outside of Home Depot?
I’m often called on jobsites to bore holes between bathroom stalls at truckstops. Which I do for free because I support our hard-working truckers. I’m often tasked with decorating these with the faces of the likes of Kevin Bacon, Burt Reynolds, or whoever is the rage that week. But when I line up the hole to where the mouth is on the image, it never looks quite right. I’m thinking I need to either animate the face so the eyes move or fasten a strap or harness around the other end of the stall so it pulls you so far into the stall you can’t notice it. But there’s all these truck stop building code violations that will sure attract an already suspicious and curious building inspector. And if you’ve met these inspectors you’re bound to end up in some nearby dungeon swinging on some ropes or crucified and shamed in the parking lot of a Shell station. So why do your videos fail to cover this kind of stuff? Real things - not this something something build with the right power tool on the right setting, etc. or whatever it is. Or saw a hole right through your neighbors living room wall and stick your whole head in there, rufie yourself, call the cops before they do, and when the cops come you’ll look like the victim of whatever it was they tried to do to you - now that’s a TH-cam video.
Suggestion for hanging 10.5 ft walls? Better to do 2.5 from ceiling, floor or big butt joint? I want to avoid butt joint especially with long wall.
Thanks for sharing! this is really good. If combined with more support tools, it's really effective!
This really makes me like the idea of plywood or osb walls lol
You know its serious when you get very detailed safety instructions here haha (need to protect that back!)
I would never carry the drywall as shown as the rear person with your arm around the end of the drywall. If the front person runs into a wall or header, you're going to dislocate your arm. Two people, same side, same hands on bottom, person on front puts opposite hand on front to control balance. Person on back could put their other hand on top to help balance if windy or narrow doorway or hallway.......
In the middle of renovating our 100 y.o. duplex into a single dwelling, and my ceilings are about 8' 2". Already using a lift, but due to restraints I'm pretty much stuck using 4x8 sheets for the entire upstairs.
This is a pretty good video for the average homeowner. If you want to make a proper video about how to hang drywall, go find a contractor and ask if you could video his crew hanging for a day and do a voice over. There is a fair amount of technique that could be taught by pro hangers you don't cover.
I wish I had a basement. Lol
that basement is huge af
still kicking myself for finishing it for free just to make videos for all of you guys. !
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY hey, I appreciate that and I bet the actual homeowners do mean it too. Not everybody is gonna do a lotta work like that, for free, also, with a Jeff quality tier lol.
You must have some special high quality Canadian drywall cos every time I try to pull the tape between the sheets it rips after a couple of inches or tries to pull the brown backing with it.
we don't get ours from China if that is what you mean./ Cheers!
A lot of people buy and hang their drywall themselves and contract out the mudding, paper, sanding. I’ve heard the price of contracting out the entire process is comparable due to their bulk costs on drywall. Any comments?
it is almost the same because most homeowners install every scrap and create butt joints.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY No doubt. The first time I put up drywall, I made that same mistake. Buddy came over, took one look, and congratulated me on saving $12 for a single sheet by creating $150 worth of taping, mudding, and sanding effort. Learned my lesson -- a little humiliation can be a great teacher. lol
Within the next week I'll be 10k left to
completely paying my off 150k debt.

We are building a concrete foundation home. 3 sides of which are concrete with a 2x6 studded wall walkout. I intend to build the walls in front of the concrete this way. Please advise. I will start by putting a 1-inch thick foam board next to the foundation concrete. My 2"x4" wall will go against the foam board. I will install R-13 face fiberglass insulation into the studded walls and complete the wall envelope with drywall. Do I have this wall envelope correct?
Is there a good way to repair a light fixture on the wall in the bathroom that the electrical box has pulled out of the hole from the wall …all the wiring is still intact it’s just hanging down, but how do I securely put it back in the hole without it sliding back out again? Thanks
That is a big basement.
Cheers tell my arm now that I finished taping that thing.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY 🤣We get wiser Jeff, not any younger. Above 50 always a suprise what part will hurt today when you get up.
54” window was a cheat. I have to cut through my floor to drop the board down to my basement.
I’d really like to get a piece that’s 24’9” X 8’ lol.
you could cut every sheet in half and then slide it through the window 12' long.
Where do you buy your drywall and materials?
How do you blend an uneven wall with drywall?
Sorry, did you mention from where to buy drywall? I'm in Toronto, have any suggestions so I don't have to google much?
I WISHED this video came out 6 months ago 😭
Drywall is easy job
How do you feel about using butt boards between studs?
Are vapor barriers a must? Thanks
On external walls yes. Interior definitely no
Depends on where you are. It’s against code where I am.
It depends on your wall structure. Some walls are designed to allow vapor in the wall cavity transfer into the interior. What you dont want is a sandwich of air between two vapor barriers. That moisture has nowhere to go.
That all depends on where you live . different weather patterns have different recommendations and different building code.
Hi Jeff, great video. Is that moisture barrier required if you have R-10 Rigid foam on the concrete? I'm in the Ottawa area and was reading having both rigid foam and vapour barrier can trap moisture between.
He has a good video about basement subfloors. Your rigid foam should have grooves that allow any vapour to move out to the edges where it should escape up the wall.
What kind of walls can I have in my basement when I know they are occasionally going to get wet. Street drain problems that will not be fixed by a city in denial.
I do have sump pumps but sometimes that's just going in circles.
are you in florida now?
You cheated .. you had a helper 😱
you would too if you had that much drywall. I could have always made the delivery team do the work!
👍👍👍
👍👍
The belly shows me this guy is legit
Out of interest, when plastering why is the whole wall not covered just the joints in North America
less material equals less time and a more perfect surface.
Because 99% of people wouldn’t want to pay for veneer plaster. People keep their house for 8 years on average. Hence they don’t want to invest much. At your place, you can do whatever you want. If you know the buyer won’t pay you extra because you have veneer plaster, and will only ask “what’s the square footage” and “is this wall load bearing”, then you’ll have standard drywall for as cheap as you can get it like everybody else in the city. Cheer !
I moved to Canada from England and on the second day when I pulled the charger cable out of my phone the plug went flying out of socket and dented the wall. I was pretty shocked. Firstly, I could not believe how flimsy the socket was that it was barely holding the charger. Secondly, I couldnt figure out why drywall got dented. Well, after getting a job in construction I realized that in North America they dont plaster the walls like they do in Europe. They just fill the joints and the drywall gets painted which means its soft as hell!
Cost. Covering the entire surface results in substantially higher labor costs. It also requires a high level of craftsmanship that is usually only used in end homes. It will be beyond most people’s budget. The results are ultra smooth near perfect as they use laser levels to ensure a straight finish.
