Its fantastic that new DIYers like myself can get on TH-cam and learn from people like you. Thanks so much.
I liked your video, it helped me a lot, thank you.
The second I heard the Canadian accent. I knew I could trust this guy. Thanks
yamster88 how do you differentiate the Canadian accent
@@bekabeka71 listen to him say no. it's more like in between know and knew.
Beck's it's pretty damn subtle, but if you've lived in Canada you can spot it.
Yes,the canadians. So trustworthy. Mega racist and politicians addicted to crack
@@Kyle-cv3de Chill lmao, no one asked for your hot take lol
I also like how he goes through all the steps in detail - and explains everything. Most DIY shows on tv are edited and you don't really learn anything that way.
Great job Shannon - I am your newest fan.
Watched this video and the one on how to remove a non load bearing wall and went into my new storefront and removed the room that I was going to pay someone $1200 to remove on Monday! It took us 4 hours on Saturday! Thanks Guys! Definitely my go to on DIY!!
One wall, removed by someone who knows, versus yourself for free watching a you tube video , noticing the double plate at the top...?🤪🤔😳
I’m a first time home owner with ZERO experience on anything outside of welding and these videos help A LOT. This is as close to someone being there with me doing this as it gets 😂 really appriciate the thorough walkthroughs!
Well since the video it's been 8 years later did u learn anything or did you even finish that dry wall job or did you sit your ass on the couch with a beer ? Bob told me to ask !
This man is OOZING Canadian! 😂
Very good instructional and DIY video!
Tools required:
1 x cutter
1x drywall saw
1 x hammer
1 x crate opener as wedge or anything but not your fingers!
1 x safety glass
1 x dust mask
1 x electrical screwdriver to remove the plug outlet
Maybe hand gloves too to prevent cuts.
And of coz, cleaning and disposal of drywall parts in the end.
Thank you... I'm in my 50's and just got a small house. The basement has some dry wall that I want to remove and most likely will have to do it myself because, I can't pay anyone to do it.. The way you explained has helped and inspired me that I can do this myself... Again, thank you.
I want to appreciate the video didn't just ram a sledge hammer into the wall like they always show on the home network TV. Thank you so much for posting this!!! I feel way more confident now.
You bet
Whenever I have a project in mind, you're the first one I go to for quality, concise, excellent information. Everything I do according to your instructions has worked out perfectly! I like the way you describe the "process" in its entirety using every possible scenario when possible. Thank you for all your efforts and sharing your talents with all of us!
+Wendy Diestel Thanks Wendy, please share your experience with all your friends,family and co workers so they can use our information as well.
+HouseImprovements absolutely! Thanks for taking the time to respond ❤️
Thanks, made me realize I was doing it the hard way with a utility knife rather than a drywall saw
I wish I saw this earlier. Especially the tip about cutting the corner paper with a knife. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I would suggest tipping the outlet down so dust can't fall into it. Also, as someone mentioned earlier, to be safe, I would check the cable for damage at the location where the saw cut across.
Always remeber to score the corners! 👍
I love your videos! My husband and I purchased a fixer upper and your videos have been so helpful to us! This weekend we are tearing out Sheetrock and insulation in the basement. The previous owner “finished” the basement and never sealed the concrete 🤦🏻♀️ this will make our demo much smoother!!
Good work Shannon. I always wear a dust mask when I do this kind of work on my house. I have been blessed/cursed with an older house built by the original owner who obviously thought he was a master carpenter. He was most definitely not. A dust mask can also protect you from mouse doo-doo inside the walls. That stuff can be bad news. keep up the work. Your videos are extremely helpful.

You may want to take note of where you used your saw and after removing drywall if there was an area close to wiring as in this wall check the wiring to make sure you did not damage it.
This is a really great video. Very informative step by step. I'm a complete novice when it comes to this so now I know all the precautions even though many of it seems to be common sense it's always good to have all bases covered before proceeding. Gonna continue see if there's a video on how to insulate walls. Thanks again!
Lol when we want to take away wall paper it's so hard.... here it looks so easy 🤣
MARILU ORNELAS it turns out that the easiest way to remove wallpaper is to remove the drywall it’s attached to 😬
We used piranha wallpaper remover from lowes. Not very expensive. Worked wonders for us. Bit messy.
He wears the exact same shade of blue collar shirt that I do!! Love it!! No nonsense talk - in order to make a lengthy video - rather, he’s straight to the point with USEFUL TIPS, and not proclaiming to be “captain obvious”. Off to Menards so I can get me a drywall saw and climb a stack of 2x4s!!
Thanks Shannon, your video was very helpful and saved me from the typical mistakes an amateur makes going in blind. Great tips on safety & methodology along with your characteristically friendly attitude to top-off the video. Much appreciated.
Door molding and trim ? come off first, or leave
This was a great video! I feel really confident that I will be able to demolish a small wall in my house now! Thank you 🙏🏼
Excellent video. I am going to tear out two kitchen walls this weekend. I assumed by watching the DIY t.v. shows that I was going to just hammer away at the walls to remove the old drywall. But doing it your way is better. Then I can have new plumbing and electrical completed which will make my kitchen renovation much easier.
good luck
I love how neat this was
This really helps me approach a basement wall removal project. I guess I don't need a recip saw afterall. Thanks Shanon.
One way to do this is-
*OH YEAH*
Just found your videos recently. Thank you for the clear explanations and letting us know what to expect. It really takes the worry out of DIY! I will be lookin at your channel first for my home improvement tasks. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this video. Someone put normal drywall in the bathroom with flat paint. 40 years later, it is paper thin. Plus, moisture from the tub has gotten up in the dryway so I need to replace it. This is very helpful and gives me confidence to do it myself. Unfortunately for me, there is plumbing and a tile counter/sink and toilet in the way lol. Oh and I subscribed.
I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge Shannon. Your videos are awesome. I plan on installing new windows in my home and all your videos have been super helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks so much! I'm trying to figure out how to rip out the small entry walls to our small kitchen pantry. I wanted to put cabinets in to replace the pantry. Very interesting. Now I have to make sure they aren't loadbearing...Thanks again.
What a terrific video! I'm a complete novice and I feel much more confident attempting this after seeing your video. Thank you!
thanks for taking the time to explain and execute the job - very helpful and much appreciated. cheers.
Thank you for showing me how to remove drywall. I had a leak in bathroom and had to replace floors and walls and tiles. Your video was very helpful and gave me the confidence to handle the job. Thank you again
What video did you look up to redo your floors im having same problem in restroom with leak need to replave both floor and drywall
I appreciate this mans simplicity and safety advice would have fucked up without knowing 75% of this shit ✊much love bud ❤️
In California where I live you have to have the sheetrock inspected after it's hung and before mud and tape (because of earthquake standards). They wouldn't be very happy to see edge nails and glue. 12/4 is mostly the nail pattern here. But the glue sure made taking it down a breeze, and took care of that wall paper removal in the process...
Always nice (and rare) to hear a fellow Saskatchewan accent on TH-cam
Video old but thanks first time home owner couple things to do👍🏻
Thanks so much Shannon. Great video for us ladies repairing alone. Y ou are a great explainer. Simple and easy it seems.
this is a great way to do it neatly. but when you are doing a full interior demolition of a house you have to work way faster. if the back was exposed, hit the drywall from the back where the nails or screws where and the while sheet will come off
Really enjoy your videos Shannon. They help me tackle my own home improvements more confidently! :)
I'm So scared 😭to do some renovations on a home that was destroyed maliciously/out of spite. I also am equally afraid to throw money away with general contractors and tradesmen who have made it an industry practice to take advantage of female clients.
So..
.I'm watching these videos and hoping it combines with my previous construction/carpentry experience from a family business (that closed when the relative passed away) and my natural intellect to get the work done and done right 👍😏😇🌞
I really enjoyed watching this video and learning something new
Love my Picquic!
Great videos as always, good to see you guys back.
Thank you for your help. I watched your video and it gave the knowledge and the confidence to handle the job. Thank you again
More informative than the other videos I've watched. Thanks!
Excellent video, Shannon, thanks! I wondered if you'd get around to mentioning the issue of drywall (gypsum) dust. It's particularly fine-grained stuff, not something you want in your lungs. At the end of your video, you mention the idea of wearing a dust mask-but maybe it'd be a good idea to add something about that at the beginning instead. I'm just thinking that some people may not watch all the way to the end, and it's something they really should be careful about if they'll be working with much drywall at all.
You are correct ,unfortunately we can not edit a video once posted without losing all of our stats.
Thank you for your demonstration. I learned what I wanted to see.
Sheet rock and dry wall is so cheap.
First thing I did when I bought my house was rip ALL OF IT away.
Reinforced all the studs by making them sections of 3, instead of 1. Put support beams going accross.
And added 3/4s inch ply with sheet metal attached to the outside to it.
Such a house can withstand tornado weather, and flying debries like it's nothing.
Also anchor all floors down to the conccrete base of the house.
Was it expensive? yes. worth it? yes.
Yu have security in your place, and you don't have any fear AT ALL of any huricane, or weather of any kind.
DOing this to a small rancher home btw makes it allot easier. It would take much more time to do it to multi level places.
But it can be done.
a good foot really helps, or in my brothers case a good headbutt (he actually headbutted a stud once)
I love the way he says "aggravation" lmao
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT - Extremely detailed and very easy to follow instructions with perfect demonstration. THANK YOU!
I am wondering why there were no screws in the drywall field; then I saw you had glue. Good video but it is not the same for me.For me, I will use a magnet to find the screws then mark them and remove them before removing the panel. Nice tip for scoring the joins to the ceiling.
Thank you! The video and especially the real time aspect was very informative.
Very helpful and you have a pleasant way about you. Good tutorial.
Don't forget to protect finishes that will remain from drywall dust.... that stuff is viscious. A box of painters plastic and a couple rolls of tape will save you lots of cleanup time.
This dude got lucky with that whole piece coming off.
thanks! I just successfully finished removing a massive amount of dry wall in a basement after watching this video
+hanwenzero you're welcome.
Thank you for this video. I have to deconstruct a room for permitting purposes.
This was really convenient and helpful. Thank u
You're an amazing guy! Your videos helped me out with a few projects. Thanks a lot, Shannon
i'm doing my own house renovations after mold and fire damage. this helped me greatly to prepare. thank you!!!!
Wonderful!
@@HouseImprovements muchas gracias muy bien explicado parece sencillo pero mencionas puntos muy importantes. Saludos
Wow, your work is so quiet. I need to use your technique; when I saw through the drywall, it sounds like nine helicopters are attacking my building... 🙉
How do you know when the wall is load bearing?
Thanks so much! I’m gonna reduce the pantry…. I have the confidence to do this!
I usually poke holes in the drywall with ah hammer, then rip down the pieces. this method seems so much better. Trying it out this week on an electrical Repair.
Good luck.
Thank you. Very clear and easy to follow. Appreciated!
I need to have some drywall removed in my finished basement to access the foundation wall for a crack. Initially I thought I would have to pay someone but I think I can handle this. The time to actually do it is my concern.
I saw the glue spots but it doesn't look like it did a very good job at holding the sheetrock on the wall, otherwise you would have had a hell of a time getting it off not to mention all the scraping you would have to do to clean up the studs before putting up new sheetrock.
Thanks for doing this video. How do you remove the structure attached to the walls and ceiling?
make sure it isn't a structural wall/bearing wall, then go to down and rip it out...
Thank you so much for this video. Very clear and well explained
Hey! What about removing a wall with wood paneling?
Did he do an asbestos test?
I really like and appreciate these videos man. Please keep'em coming.
not trying to downgrade you video but! my dads a 33 year red seal carpenter i'm starting my first year in carpentry through his company, and we had to strip a wall to the studs, and we did it in one piece. and what we did was much faster and easyer(you punch two hand holes between the studs, cut the tape joints on top and sides, grab firmly in the hand holes, shake back and forth drywall will coming in one piece not 5 xD
+ColdFire MC Yup I'm sure it worked fine, You have a younger back than me,LOL. I have learned working by myself that a few extra trips is easier usually than carrying large pieces. Good tip though. Good luck in your career!
Thanks so much - I had no idea how I was going to do this. I'm going to try it tonight!
Great video Shannon...Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Great job Shannon.👍🏻💪
Real Maestro right here!
Great vid I'm wanting to take my bedroom cupboard down this vid helps ty.
Lol. Im watching it for the same reason. Would have just attacked the wall with a hammer if i had not watched this. Hahaha
I used a multi tool to cut a straighter line, and partially through, then I used the knife to cut. I was having issues cutting with the knife, due to there being osb board behind the drywall.
Thank you for the video. Need to tare down a wall, good video to tell how (however, I am going to assume recycling is an option for drywall?)
that was extremely helpful for preparing my bedroom demo. thanks.
And what about the top left corner of drywal you left hanging there? I was waiting to see how you would tear that part out since you didn't cut it with the knife and it would have perhaps torn the drywal above the doorway.
Put the screws back in the outlet so you know where to find them later.
Finally someone didn't take a beat stick to a prybar for baseboard.
Excellent! I was going to cut it with a reciprocating saw but this is much safer and cheaper.
Give it a try
will be ripping apart one wall in the bathroom to install clipstone on one wall. I believe I need to remove the drywall and then install OSB. Thanks for the video!
Good luck, Aaron.
although guessing it wasn't a load bearing wall that should be one of the first things to figure out before doing anything to it ?
Great job. Thanks for the detail step by step.
I trust this man with my life
Thank you . You are awesome . I was wondering about the ceiling drywall cut. I was hoping not to remove my ceiling.
Excellent video. Very descriptive and to the point! Thank you.
This is a excellent video, thanks! I'm thinking about getting one of those stud finders to see up 4 inches in the wall :o
fuck I should've watched this video... now I have a mess to deal with LMAO
You are fantastic!!!! Thank you for your videos and channel! so so helpful!
I WISH my walls were that easy dang. Someone though it was a good idea 50 years ago to also put 1/8" of plaster on top of it along with 50,000 nails
I need to remove 12inches from the floor up only. I am having a basement waterproofing company in and they need access 1ft up. Any tips? Would there be a power tool to use as I have about 24 ft I have to remove
I would use an oscillating saw. Snap a chalkline to follow and away you go!
If I were replacing this drywall, how would I match the corner bead and new mud to a textured ceiling where the two would meet?
Great job man. Thanks for the good advice!
Thanks for the tips...I did it your way and it worked great, but I did use my sawzall to cut the drywall...mostly cuz I had an old sawzall blade but no drywall saw..
glad to help
Thank you. very informative for a beginner like myself.
Where's your red flat bar at? :)
