The hardest work is the ceiling work. Looking up all day is a neck breaker so I hope you ground guys alternate with him. We always used a bazooka and all the AMES TAPING TOOLS, which has been around for at least 70 years or so. We also always let the tape dry for 24 hours and used a 7” box to fill, a 10” mud box to finish, and a 12” to skim it perfectly smooth and flat. We ran a roller and glazer in the angles for perfectly square angles and boxed them with a 3” Angle head. The AMES tools have the same specs they have had for many decades, because they are damn near perfect they way they are. You guy do a great job, and clean work is key to speed. A sloppy guy going balls out can screw up a ton of great drywall hanging, creating a ton of unnecessary wasted labor. Great job!

I've already stopped the video about 3 times to replay certain sections to really understand the nuances in the techniques and how the individual components all come together in perfect orchestration. Kudos gentlemen!

Much respect for you and your crew. You work like a well oiled machine. Everyone knows their job and there’s no waisted time.

When I was in my 20's I had a banjo box and had it sitting on a bucket in front of the garage. I went to lunch and when I came back the owner said he owes me a new one. He had a rat problem and was waiting with his shot gun. He saw a rat dart into the garage. He shot , missed the rat but did a number on the Banjo box. I should of saved it.

Love watching skilled drywall guys working. Great job.

Been a game for 35 years and I started when I was five helping my dad watching these guys n they need some help but with help you be the best.

I'm just a DIY, but I tape like this with a tape box also. The real key, which you mention is to use a setting mud for the bed and first cover coat. Doing it this way, you can be completely done in one day with all the taping, dry overnight for the top coat which can be all purpose or easy sand setting and then sand the next day. If done correctly, there is very little sanding at all. For sure it helps to have at least two people with one person on the tape box and then the other behind, but you can do it one person, but a lot harder, especially with setting compound. I spent one summer sanding drywall for a commercial outfit (neighbor owned). You really come to appreciate not over filling in a major way, especially if you have to be sanding above your head on 9-12' walls when it is 90+ F.

I never liked hanging Sheetrock, but I loved finishing it. Very therapeutic.

Must be nice to be able to find that many guys that know what there doing let alone find anybody that wants to work. I have been doing whole houses alone for two years now. Sometimes with a grunt worker.

Dang... I just finished drywalling a small place by myself and am left mouth agape watching this... absolutely incredible

I'm glad to see people doing this old school way my one critique though is the T joints, we always staggered our joints we never broke them on the same joint. It strengthens the houses structural integrity when settling and less likely to breaks joints if the house hasn't fully settled.

Ya, the bazooka is difficult to learn, but with persistence you will be very happy with the amount of board you can tape in a short amount of time! I've been running the "tube" (bazooka) for 20 years and still remember learning! Make yourself keep trying! You want to learn to adjust the tape feed and cutting blade. Also the consistency of the mud is the most important thing to getting the bazooka to run right! The amount of water you need to mix in the taping mud is almost a litre or quart here in Pennsylvania! At least with the mud we use here. The green lid, all purpose sheetrock is my preferred taping compound, but any all purpose should work. Don't use any kind of light weight because of the bonding ability and time of staying wet needs to be long as possible.
