gunpowderandfr... I finally got all the drywall hung! A huge thanks you to Dave for letting me borrow the lift and Julian for helping me with the ceiling!
As much as you abhor hanging and finishing drywall, it’s the sanding for me (when I was younger and able). My son had to replace all of his drywall from 6’ down due to flooding. I suggested using white synthetic bead board instead. Sooo much easier!! 💖 Princess Eleanor!
Don’t let the drywall win! You are correct! I’ve always felt the sanding is where it beats you. I’d rather throw away $200 in scrap than spend an extra afternoon sanding that crap. Tip of the day: Use 12’ sheets where you can. Does your drywall jack not have hooks for holding the sheets when you tip it up? Love the layout of that garage, gonna look nice when you get it done!👍🏻
Steve, yep, I fully understand why you hate drywall. I built my 28x40 ranch home with a 5 month move in deadline. Took 4 weeks just to do the hanging and finishing of the drywall !
To a fellow drywall hater, here is a little tip - and THIS really is a matter of preference - when your walls are more than 8 feet tall, most guys learn to put the scrap piece in the middle. This way the bulk of the sanding is right where it's easiest to reach - about waist-high. I don't mind hanging the stuff as much as the tape and mud and the SANDING (OMG, the SANDING) - So by saving the middle till last, you can use up your scraps and keep it all where it is easiest to reach. Instead some guys will do one horizontal layer and one verticle and not have that little strip to fill in - but you generate a lot of scrap that way whereas what I suggest uses up your scrap. That seem is all going to get covered with mud anyway... so might as well try to make it easier on yourself. Nice job, btw - just because we hate it doesn't mean we can't do it.
Hahaha I’ve had a few people tell me that’s where the seam should have been so lesson learned on my end! I would say next time but I hope I never have to do this again hahaha
I’m glad you enjoy it. I don’t think I will ever enjoy anything about it and I’m hoping this is the last time I have to do it hahaha thanks for watching!
Looks great man , drywall sucks. I am wondering about the can lights or wafer lights as you called them I believe. I am in the process of basically the same project in my garage. My question is what lights are you using and can they touch the insulation? My ceiling will be insulated the same as yours just wondering how you did that . Thanks and great job !
I used a canless light. Some people call them a “waffer light” because they are very thin. They can touch the insulation because they are led and don’t get very hot. I believe the next video is the garage door install and then the video after that is the lights.
Looks Great Steve, now for the most dreaded part, mudding and sanding, Yea!!🤙
Thank you!
Good morning Steve!!
How about that Super Bowl!?!? Nice job Steve! I can my wait to watch you do the mud…😂
Have a day😊
Hahahaha I’m working on that video as well speak! That’s Super Bowl was wild!!!!
Looking very nice.
Thank you!
Great job, beautiful little girl

Never let the drywall win!!! Establish dominance over it!! Hahaha thanks for watching!
Looks good!
Thank you!
I'm going back to your dad's channel. He was sucking string through a tube. (Electrical) Kidding thank you guys for your good works.
Hahahahahahahahaha thanks!
Steve hire a guy to do the taping! Less stress and greater results!
I did the rest of the house so this was a personal vendetta for me hahaha we are subbing out the next house tho! Thanks for watching!
Early on I used to wet the taping. I just had a little bit of water to the joint compound mix it
I’ve been told liquid dish soap helps too so that’s what I add
Now that you’re all done thinking back was it as bad as you anticipated. it looks great
Yes, it sucked hahaha

Looks great. (We know the kids actually did it)
As always, thanks for watching!
If you hate hanging it you will really hate taping and mudding and sanding it !!! Looks good though !
I hate it all hahahaha thanks for watching!
Renting the sander genious ... other is rooftop delivery of shingles ... best 250 i ever spent
It definitely helped a ton!
Rock around the clock. Rockers/painters were always the hardest drinkers of all the trades.
Hahahaha I can definitely see that. I could also see roofers being high up on that list
Glad im not finishing this lol great video im a drywall finisher an hanger everyone hates sanding but to be honest sanding is my favorite

Steve, it looks great. Why did you rock under the attic door? (Eleanor is getting so big.)
I’m going to pad that out and then wrap that area with metal so my ladder doesn’t damage it. She certainly is!
They make a tool to put a beveled edge on the sheetrock
Good to know! Hopefully this is the last drywall work I’ll ever have to do
