Nice video but you didn’t show how to do the center of the ceiling, where you don’t have the wall to lean the 2x4 support against. Also you should pre-install screws a number of screws in the sheet so you aren’t fishing for screws with the sheet in the air and trying to start them over your head and upside down. I usually use nails for this, in a few spots until the sheet is up and supported in 3-4 spots with the nails, then grab the screw gun and screw if the rest of the sheet.

Sorry - I accidentally removed your reply... 😳 You can use a deadman support anywhere really - you just have to be able to wedge it where you already have ceiling installed and be able to get another panel on top of the other part of it. I will admit that full sheets of 1/2" ceiling drywall is tough to get up into the air alone. But deadman jigs are one way to assist you. For example - a support at each corner where the seams will be will support one end of the sheet and you can lift and secure the opposite end. Once that end is up - then you can secure the supported end and finish attaching it. I hope to have a video demonstrating a unique approach for this down the road - but it will be a while until I do.

Great video! Thanks! I didn't realize I can sheet rock my basement ceiling myself.

What do you do when you have 12 foot drywall Have you all ever Heard of drywall adhesive

@RundownReborn

3 жыл бұрын

I wouldn’t try to do 12 foot pieces by myself

3:50 When using a drywall square it’s a complete waste of time to draw a pencil line before scoring - the whole purpose of the square is to omit this step. It’s also NEVER necessary to score twice unless your blade is hopelessly dull in which case you’ll get a ragged mess anyway. Also the drywall square has inch markings on both legs to eliminate, up to a point, some of the measuring steps. Finally the ‘beautiful assistant’ is sort of useful at the perimeter but is useless for inside panels without a real assistant. You can rent a drywall lift for as little as $10 or you can buy one for $125 and sell it for the same price when you’re done. I’m not being a troll, I’m just pointing out that this is a nice video with a bit of bad advice.

As a general contractor for many years I was accustomed to hiring out larger drywall jobs but eventually bought a lift when I decided to remodel my own home and get my kids involved. It cost me about $125 to buy while the cost of rental at the time was about $45/day, but you can sometimes find people on social media or ‘buy and sell’ sites renting them out for as little as $10/day or reselling them in new condition for about what I paid. In any case I wouldn’t do ceilings without one if for no other reason than to prevent back injuries and poorly fitting seams.

Not being a troll,but don't lay your sheetrock on the floor to make your cuts an measurements.If there's screws, nails ect.that are on the floor, they're going to stick to the back of your sheetrock.Kneeling on it is going to make inditations in your drywall,that you got to fix when your mudding.You don't have to draw pencil lines all over the place,when your making your measurements.Say one of your measurements is 80",measure over to 80" an with your knife, make a little mark with your blade of the knife in the sheetrock.Take you t-square,line it up with your mark,then scribe a line "once" with you knife.Assuming,that your drywall sheets are leaning up against your wall.Take the sheet that you just scribed your 80" mark on,an pull it out towards you about 2 feet or so.Grab the edge of your sheet an snap it away from you,so it's at an angle.You'll see a crease mark,where you scribe the front of your sheetrock at 80"on the backside of your sheet.Take your knife an scribe that crease line "once" with your blade,your piece will break off.Take your rasp an smooth off the edge,if your don't have a rasp you can do it with the blade of your knife.Instead of making a deadman.I take a 2×4 an put it about 2" down from the ceiling on the wall,an throw a couple of screws in it to hold it.I grab the sheetrock an slide it on top of the 2×4.On the opposite side of your sheetrock,I made up a couple of jigs that I attach to the stapping that you screw your sheetrock too.I set them in place before I put up my piece of sheetrock. I set them about 6"away from the edge,of where my piece of sheetrock is going to be.I attach them to the strapping,when I put my piece up I swing them over an it holds up that side for me.Kinda like a c-clamp with a swival.When I swing them over they're about a 1" below where the sheetrock would be if it was flush to the ceiling.I then position my piece where I want it then screw it off.I take the 2×4 off the wall,undue my 2 jigs,an set myself up for my next piece.When I'm screwing off a sheet.I take my t-square put it on my piece of sheetrock.I find the "middle" of my stud or strapping,an draw a light pencil mark on the sheetrock.You can eye an judge where your screwing off the sheet but,if you miss the stud or strapping,you got to pull out your misses,an fix them when your mudding.Adjust the depth of your screw so,it just dimples your sheetrock. If you take your taping knife an run it across your screw an you hear it click,you need to screw it in a little more.Don't screw it in too much that you rip the paper.Use corse thread screws if you screwing into wood not fine thread.If your butting up 2 sheets say like on a crossbutt,I like to stagger my screws.I don't stand my sheets upward when I'm making my cuts.I find your fighting with the sheet more if you do it that way.Always go factory edge to factory edge if you can,when butting your sheetrock. I always hang my ceiling's first then the walls.I hang my top piece on my wall's then the bottom piece.If i measure the length of a wall an I need 2 pieces to hang it.On you second piece I cut it 1/4"less than what it's suppose to be.When you do the opposite wall it will cover up that gap.If I'm hanging a 8' ceiling,i use a milk crate to stand on if I need to.You can just kick it to wherever you need it.Using step stools or ladders are just a pain in the ass always, having to reposition them.If your hanging a bunch of sheetrock invest in a screw gun.Once you adjust the depth on it you can just go to town,screwing off your sheets.Just giving some pointers hopefully,it helps out.

Two inch screws are probably too long and will be difficult to drive in the full depth. The proper screw is 1-3/8 or 1-5/8 for 5/8" drywall. Use a 1-1/4" screws for 1/2" drywall. You only need about 3/4" of grip to the stud. 5/8" drywall is only required in 1 hour fire rated wall - such as a wall between an attached garage and the house or in a furnace closet. Otherwise 1/2" drywall is sufficient in residential uses.

I believe this process can still work. The point of the video is to demonstrate a deadman support to hold one end of the drywall while you support the other end. Then attach the piece with a few screws and gradually hang the sheet until the deadman jig is not needed. But hanging full sheets of drywall overhead is still a difficult task by yourself because of the weight.
