- Hey Gang, in today’s video, we’re working super hard to get the rest of the drywall finished and put up because we’re actually leaving for a week and a half to Washington State! We’ll be 10 minutes south of the Canadian border renovating a rental property for our future son/brother in law, it’s going to be absolutely epic, and when we get back we’re going to FLY through this project! Thanks for watching and we’ll see ya in the next one!
Your Father and Son relationship is so so special. Treasure it dearly.
Thx Rick 💪
@@StudPack Yes.
That tip with the blocks to hold up the sheet is genius.
Old school trick. Awesome when you dont have the room to use a lift
So old school. That and a dead man stick for us guys that rock alone.
Or just go to home depote and rent a drywall lift for.80 bucks and save yourself hours of work..
If you’ve never worked with your arms above your head, you don’t know the meaning of exhausted.
Ain’t that the truth! Not sure know anyone who enjoys doing work overhead and when we got to, we do use every tool and trick in arsenal to make things go “easier” as anyone knows from working overhead….your body pays the toll over the next few days😩
No kidding!
I had to walk uphill through the snow both ways in my work
Not sure which is worse standing over head work or laying on back working above body. I've changed a few transmissions without a lift and it's some of the hardest work now transmission change with lift ezpz.
Been an electrician for 40 yrs. All too familiar with neck and shoulder pain from reaching overhead. Holding and shooting drywall is no different.. It just drains you because your heart has to pump harder.
Drywalling a ceiling is such a pain! You're giving me PTSD just watching this! Haha.
Getting that drywall on always feels so good. You start to see the end of the road finally.
A drywall hoist costs about 150 bucks here in Canada. After years of straining i broke down and bought one. Can't imagine life without it now
Yeah save your back. It isn't worth the pain later.
You ain't lying I bought the old rental one from home depot when they retired it for 50bucks I use it for all kinds of things including ductwork
Yeah buddy
A friend gave me his after swearing he was done with hanging drywall,,, guess how many jobs ago that was?? Lmao
I was a remodeler and I loved it...the variation in tasks...new scenery and challenges every job...but now because of medical conditions I can only do smaller handy man jobs.....you guys do great work... attention to detail getting the foundation of a job done right so the trades that come after you don't have to fix your sloppy work that goes a long way...I use to tell my guys "It take 10% more time to do it right and 100% more time to do it again." I watch all the time and miss what I used to do....thanx and keep the vids coming boys!
This the most wholesome (and educational) content on TH-cam. Watching a father and son working together and genuinely enjoying what they do brings a smile to my face. Makes me want to tackle a project with my dad. Keep up the great content!
Cool thx Andrew 👍
I love the father and son dynamic!
This guy is freakinf crazy good . I mean this is the TRUE definition of a handy man . He takes pride in his work and thats what the industry needs ! Genuine guy ! Thanks stud pack
Thx E V !! 👍👊
I'm about your age and I don't plan on retiring anytime soon. It's such a pleasure using a drywall lift also much faster . I named my lift Jose and he never takes a break. Isn't national code 5/8'' drywall on the ceiling even if not it's less wavy compared to 1/2''.
No national code for 5/8" on a ceiling
Heyy! Welcome to Seattle, hope you enjoy your stay :) If you're on the north end of town and need to borrow some tools or want a rental yard recommendation, let me know!
Apparently I’m not the only person on the north end with good taste in TH-cam channels. Same offer applies for tools to borrow or recommendations. Hope you have a great time up here.
I'm right there with you Evan. I'm also in Seattle with a large variety of tools available for Paul and Jordan. Love to help out if I can.
I would hire you guys if you lived in my area. Everything you do is top notch, just like if it were your own home. In this day and age it seems everyone just wants to do the bare minimum. I just can't stop watching your channel because of how much you care that the job is done right. I'm so impressed. Wishing you the best.
I love the relationship you 2 have, That is what you call got it together, He is a pumped son, full of excitement to learn and do more, wonderful to watch, and that will keep you young, Love watching you guys :)
Great job. I remember hanging drywall holding it with our head and screwing it off. I cut the little bean off the top of my hat and put a washrag inside for comfort.
I Really enjoy this channel. As a diy-er I appreciate you guys not cutting corners and showing how it's done the right way.
Thanks
Cool thx Jamis 👍
Jordan did you just get the death stare when you said hell yeah 🤣 your dad looked at you like boy watch your mouth. You better remember to say heck yeah🤣🤣
No Cussing around Dad, been the rule since I was born! He was caught of guard for sure 😂
@@StudPack I’m sure people tell you all of the time how blessed you are to have such a beautiful relationship with your Dad.
They are all right
Something to remember when rotozipping/routing the cutouts. If you are on the outside of the device or the hole you go counter clockwise if you are on the inside of the the device or a window or door you go clockwise
👍
Back in '98, I did an addition to my mom's home. It was 36' x 16', adding a large bedroom, bathroom, laundry room, and pantry to a 24' x 16' cabin. My dad had bought 12' sheets of drywall. To do the lid, I made two tees from 2x4s. When I was lifting a sheet into place, my mom would put the tees into place, then I would nail the sheet up. One person, lifting a 12' sheet up, was not exactly easy.
The only parts of the addition that I did not do, were the rough plumbing and the slab. When I was putting up the rafters/joists, this was a flat roof, I found that the guy who had done the slab, was off by 6" on one corner.
Hanging sheetrock is pain, especially ceilings. Your tips are very useful. Put a solid support in place for one edge, covers half your worries.
Glued and screwed ftw
You guys are fantastic. I used to do this stuff with my dad as a kid and he comes around now when I work on my own house. The knowledge you are imparting is invaluable. I started watching you guys in preparation for a large project on my house because it has been a long time since I have taken out walls and renovated a kitchen. I was looking for the latest/greatest techniques. I got to so much more than I was looking for in this series and thank you for that. There are so many hack contractors in my area and I am consistently disappointed by the shortcuts and poor quality of work. I wish you guys were in NY; I would hire you in a second.
A jack to lift that drywall is Even more genius 🤩😉
Good idea with drywall hanger. We did our basement 800ft2 of ceiling I bought a drywall lifter from Amazon for $250. No use for it now will give to son or sell on Kijiji. Got drywall from wholesaler was not able to 16 footers 14 were longest. Got battery power drywall gun and hole cutter. Work very well.
I like the block idea. Hopefully, I will never hang sheetrock again, but if I do, I will use blocks.
I've had a roto zip for years and have only used it a few times. It's so easy to "butcher" a piece of drywall with it. I've gotten better but you're certainly right, it is a learned skill and if you don't use it often a very perishable one!
Thx Jeff. 👍
The only construction and rehab channel I watch.....nice job 🛠️✔️👌
Much appreciated thx 👊👍
Now let's re-add popcorn ceiling 🤣
Fun to watch the evolution of the production quality of the videos. Nicely done on the transition of the two halves of cleaning out the recessed light trough!
Thx Jeremy 👍
Y'all made hanging drywall look like cake work!! Great job guys!!
I hate drywall so I just hit the like button the normal way.
The folks that own this house won't even remember the inconvenience of the remodel.. It's looking really nice!!! Finished product will be awesome!
drywall lift for the win , one man job , cheers
Funny you mentioned this trip and project in Washington. I did this in March for my sister. I'm on the east coast, myself and my daughter (my helper) flew to out to my Sis's place in Tacoma, we relocated her laundry room to the 1st floor from the basement (framed in the new L-room in what was once an eat-in nook beside the kitchen) then chunked up the concrete floor in the basement, laid out and installed the rough-in plumbing for a new full bath, built out and finished the entire bathroom, electrical, drywall (thank god for textured walls out that way lol) finish plumbing, tub, toilet, vanity, flooring, doors, paint, trim, etc. in 12 16hr days! We took no tools, and let me tell ya...that was a challenge. Thankfully my dad only lives about 6hrs away in Oregon and my brother-in-law's dad lives a couple hours away also and were willing to load up, drive over and loan out their tools...between those 2 we were able to gather up enough "Harry the homeowner" tools to get it done (plus a few new tool purchases by my brother-in-law of course:) !!!!
Dude! Them blocks for helping to keep the drywall up is awesome! Thank you for that tip 👍
Home Depot finally had N95 dust masks with breather valves in stock after over a year. I grabbed up a box because I am tired of feeling like I am getting Covid after messing with drywall dust. It takes at least 3 days for me to breath normally if I don't where a mask. You have about talked me to using 12 ft. drywall on my renovation.and getting a drywall screw tool and one of those router tools you had with a battery. My friend has loaned me his drywall lift he got from Harbor Freight. Its worth it I think in saving my back as I am getting old 71 and they don't make new backs usually. I used it to put up 1 x 12" x14' Pine boards on ceiling in master.
This is the best channel on you tube. You are both amazing, I love your father/son relationship. Paul, your knowledge is fantastic. I look forward to your videos. I binge watched every single one of them. Please keep them coming. Sending you both love and best wishes from the UK x
Thx Tracy 😀
"It's late April here in southern Lousianna"..... lol it's late April everywhere
If this is a joke, it's pretty lame lol.
I use a lift with 3 X 3 plywood and old pillows to get heavy light fixtures up to tall aceilings.
Drywalling a ceiling is not for the faint hearted, especially if doing it on your own. I used blocks and my head to get the sections up. Physically draining. As usual, Nice job.
I hate drywall so much.. Seems simple until you're a perfectionist and then it takes forever
Well said 😀👍
prices never go down
11:35 your guys arms must still be burning 😂😂 good job guys! From a Drywaller out here in Los Angeles ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Multi tool with a wide blade would’ve work well
I did that with my brother in Abilene. I flew from the east coast to Abilene to install French doors. Not using your own tools is a whole new challenge. Good luck.
Just found this channel and it's really awesome. Quick tip, go counter clockwise when cutting out boxes. Helps manage the guide around the corners. Other than that I'm sitting back taking notes!
Cool to finally be seeing the “Reno at Rad’s” in Seattle that you mentioned in this video.
LOVE those temporary support brackets. Great idea! I'm sure that is well known in the trade. But I'm not in the trade - just a homeowner, and have hung a few sheets of drywall over the years. Never saw that before.
Cool thx Bill 👍💪
I would love to see what you do here in Seattle,my home town... good time to visit, the weather gods have called for sun!
The most (in)famous words in drywall: "Mud man'll get it!"
My eight and a half month pregnant wife helped me hang 12 ft sheets of drywall on the ceiling of her new 12 ft wide bedroom and she didn't kill me. I have no idea why not!
That's a "keeper" for sure.
You are very blessed.
Just took down 1500sqft of glued and screwed drywall ceiling and so glad you didn’t do more than the ends at the hangers.
Wow, so smart making the hanging blocks. Why didn't I think of that. So simple but wort a fortune.
Thx Johnny 👍
I absolutely love the bond you share with your dad. For those of us that do not have that same bond it is something that we use as a template to work towards. Thanks so much for not only the content but the love and workmanship that you share with us and most importantly your son.
Thx Christopher 👍
you guys are the best........DME construction in LA......very precise . keep up the good work brother.......
Yes great tip with blocks, just had a random thought of snapping lines on sheets for zipping in those dry wall screws.
Hey Paul and Jordan nice way to push it out get that job sheetrocked ready for Josh and his dad to finish it just want to wish you guys safe travels see you when you get back that means I'm going to go into video withdrawal from not seeing a video from you guys for a couple days then it'll be all right I'll hang tight once again safe travels🛫🛬🙏🙏🙏💪👍💯🇺🇲
With cutting the beveled drywall with the traditional saw, try out a Japanese style flush cut pull saw. They’re relatively inexpensive, and I’ve found them to be so much easier, and track much easier when cutting.
By far my favorite TH-cam channel at the moment, you guys deserve all the success that you have and that is coming your way! Keep it up fellas.
Thx 👍💪
Now that's how you get experience, you do it. Good job with the outlet cutout Jordan.
I love that you guys labeled Jordan's outlet cutout I laughed so hard. Love vids keep up the good work guys
Thx LG 👍💪
70 years old, blown shoulders, spouse has severe osteoporosis, so a good cheerleader, nothing else. Several years back, bought a drywall lift and just finished by myself 8' basement ceiling with 5/8" fireguard 12' sheets. Glad the days of installing drywall how you demonstrated are over for me. As an aside, and living in the interior of Canada, just can't get used to the idea of building on dirt, no frost, with so little insulation and no vapor barrier. Strange, beam sizing not much different than here. Like the mention of wood 'gold'. One month ago, bought 10--92 1/4" studs $100 CDN. Current price on 1/2" sheathing $65 CDN. The taste of huge profits is addictive, methinks lumber prices will never go back anywhere close to pre-Covid levels. GK
the blocks are a great idea, incredible
Thanks Robert! 👊🏼
I always had to get out the sheet rock jack as I had to hang my 12 foot sheets up in the garage by myself.
I was quite a challenge to wrestle with the 12 footers by myself.
Have a safe trip guys. Washington is beautiful. Stay out of the cockpit, Jordan.
Thx 👍. Having a great time and working hard 👊
Great job guys. I wish you guys were in my area (South Florida). The contractors here leave you hanging, never return your calls, they are good story tellers.
Thx 👍
Man I hung a lot of drywall thanks for showing me. The small blocks I will be use in them from now on
Cool thx Robert 👍
Great tip with the blocks for installing drywall overhead! As one half of a father/son duo myself, I can greatly appreciate every tidbit of knowledge gathered. As always, great work fellas
This video demonstrates: 1) how to work effectively for 2 people with the drywall blocks, and 2) why you are prepared to work late... focus on the customer, but also an understanding that you need to meet your commitment for NE US (Seattle). Great content!
very very impressive how much content you guys are putting out!!! great job guys
Wow!!!!! Great tip with the blocks
Enjoy the Pacific Northwest, where humidity is practically unknown.
True...the one thing I miss about the PNW. Pretty humid here! :-)
Great idea, I should have thought of those blocks 30 years ago 🤣
When routing drywall panels out, I always route out the bottom first by starting from the bottom then finish at the top. It helps to avoid any sag or pinching of the router blade .
Getting very close to hanging a dining room ceiling and just happened across your a channel. Those clips are damn brilliant.
Thx David 👍👊
Nicely done. You make it look all to easy, hanging ceilings is the worst part of the job. But you made it look easy. 👍
If I never see a rotor zip again it will be too soon. Even Jordan’s first attempt looks better than what I can do now. But the good thing is, I did find some really good drywall patches on Amazon. I would link it but you, obviously, don’t need them. LoL! Great as usual. Thanks guys.
Much appreciated Shannon 👍
Y'all make it look too easy! I appreciate you sharing years of experience to the people at home. Really enjoy your content. Makes me want to tear apart my old farmhouse and put it together like it ought to be. Thank you for what you do!
when I was 20 I hun 8 ft ceilings by myself in a 4 plex usint T props. In the 70;s I founc magazine plans to make my lift using 2 X 4's and bent the metal with my torck It extends to do 14 ft ceilings and will hang wall rock. I run the winch with a Milwaukee right angle drill, a good friend has a lift I borrow, and we trade tools , good friends trust eacher with our good tools.
Cool thx Tim 👍
It's nuts boys. No lift?! Ohh, and it came out perfect, like always. Love your channel.
YAY! Stud Pack road trip!
Working over head sucks. But you two make everything look so darn easy!! ♡
Do you want to know what I love most about your Vids?. The fact that you are teaching your son how to do it right.! Its a beautiful thing guys..! Its awesome to see a Father and son Team working so well.!! Good job Guys, thank you for sharing your time and effort.! Great work. xx Much Love from West Yorkshire UK. x
Thx Dave 👍
You guys know better. 16:10 Fine thread screws for hanging drywall into wood studs.
I am sure there will never be an issue with grip. 1 thing i like better about fine thread versus coarse thread is that tbe fine threads leave a smaller hole in the drywall and gives the bugle heads more meat to hold on to.
Grip rite screws had a bad run of screws a few years back. The coating on the coarse threads was so think that it made such a big penetration in the drywall that the heads of the screws would easily blow through the paper and lose their holding power. I used fine thread screws in wood for at least a year until grip rite started producing good screws again.
My panel hoist is one of my favorite tools.
Always have glued and screwed ceilings, great tips tho! I’d rather hang it then mud and paint ceilings
I would "like" to see Jordan get a toolbelt/rig at some point. Maybe with some 'flair' that suits his style! (I did 'like' the video BTW, I wait patiently for your next one. Great job fellas!
One of the best channels on TH-cam! I always feel better after watching Stud Pack!
Y'all are awesome, your hard work and attention to detail really shows. Enjoy the Northwest!
Have a nice trip guys!
once shelves are put in the pantry it'll become a step-in
Welcome to WA. We'll be glad to have you!! Pity you're not local, need a garage conversion :P
Really enjoy your channel and your craftsmanship.
subscribed good content. when doing renos myself i got a used crane of gumtree paid 100 aud for it for 60 bux in the states saved me countless times and even better on raked ceilings
Congrats to your family and daughter. Can’t wait to see the next series...
thanks for the block ideal ,nice work mens
There has to be a jig for hanging drywall, I’d buy a few kits!
Drywall looks great and Jordan cutting holes and doing work son! Good stuff. Take a break and looking forward to the next episode whenever you two get back after it. Great tip on the dry wall hangers/keepers.
Omg those blocks would have helped as a homeowner doing this with buddies years ago
Never been up North! You want to come to Canada to the North. I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Do some renovations and do some world class fishing or hunting. No gators though! I would love to try gator smoked though.
Hey, sorry I'm late (catching up on your videos in order so I'm a week late here), but WELCOME TO WASHINGTON! I live in Gig Harbor, just across the Tacoma narrows bridge from Tacoma. If you're still here, you should check it out, it's beautiful with the marina and nice small town feel. I grew up in San Diego and had to move here for my job, but I'm loving it. It rains here (as I know you found out) and kinda doesn't in S.D. I do love the greenery though, and the hydropower can't be beat! I hope the wedding was wonderful. Take care, guys!
We had a great time Ken 👍. We were north of Ferndale near Birch Bay. Videos coming after we’re done with this current project 👊
@@StudPack Thanks! My daughter lives in Birch Bay. I lived there seven months when I moved up. Looking forward to the vid!
Y’all have got to make some t-shirts that say “HEY GANG” !
