Being completely sincere, this is an art form. I'm blown away by how good these guys are.

I was wondering how this only had 2,400 views. Figures it was only posted a couple weeks ago. This is by far the most comprehensive and informative drywall video on youtube from a humble guy who knows his trade. I put this video on par with one of Larry Haun's framing videos. Well done. Thanks very much for taking the time.

Expert and humble is an understatement; this man is a genius.

Congratulations. You make, camera man, video editor and, of course, drywall installer men, all of you make a great job. Thank you.

Best drywalling video on KZread. I've hung a ton of sheets in my life, but I learned a few things here. I'd say the sanding part wasn't given enough airtime, though. It's tedious and dirty and, since your furnace is already installed, you need to seal up all the runs and returns prior to sanding.

1. DO NOT use your head to hold that drywall on the ceiling! After many years of 5/8 over my head my arms and shoulders were strong but my arms go numb when i sleep often due to worn cartilage. Imagine what that would do to your neck!! Stop it! 2. Box routers are great! Get you a Window/Door Router! Its just a bigger hand held wood router with a 1/4 inch drywall bit. Save time and also wear on your body! Drywall is already hard enough on the body. 3. It is best to cut the stand-ups first. Carrying a whole 8 footer to hang it and cut nearly half of it off is a waste of energy. Plus that extra over hang could prevent you from getting a tighter fit to the ceiling. 4. While using a footjack it is better to have your heel on the ground using the ball of your foot on the end. Its all about time and energy while keeping quality. Also we ALWAYS measure and cut drywall from the white side. You can cut from the back on the second cut (scoring) as it creates less dust such as in an existing home repair etc. This insures you dont rip the white side paper from the drywall making your work look like shit *pro-tip* Cutting drywall is all about the tip of the blade. Run that tip across a screw or nail and it is ruined.

This is the best video about drywall I have ever seen.

I think this is by far one of the best out together instructional videos I have seen. Plenty of info and tips along with different options on doing things. I think the ones thumbs downing this just feel its not how they would do it. Which that is unfair because many people have their own way of doing things. Doesn't mean this person in the video is wrong. Just people think they have a better way. All in all, this was a great video. Never saw anyone use a roller to apply mud on ceiling. I love that idea. Easier to apply.

For this 50-year-old female I thank you and I thank you and I thank you you answered questions I didn’t even know I should ask you taught me so much thank you again

Why would anyone "thumbs down" this video? Probably kids because, you know, there's no one playing video games and it's informative. God forbid you learn something while surfing the "KZread".

Also 'know-it-alls' who think they know better. The fact is that several techniques and/or materials can be used to achieve the same results. I thought this video was great.

Best drywall video I've seen to date, and I've watched a few. Thanks.

Years ago plaster was an art. But over the years drywall has become a common practice plus it's less expensive to finish the house interior walls. And both Plaster and Drywall are an art form. Drywall takes patients and time to do it correctly and do a smooth finish for final painting. I believe the key to a good drywall job is properly placing the sheets to reduce butt joints and joints in general. This is the area where the ends of the dry meet and are not tapered. This is sometimes a pain to finish but in this video, he makes it look effortless. This entire crew made this drywall job look effortless and very professional. Great Drywall Video!!!

Epic video! I feel like I am watching a Richard Feynman video on Drywall and Taping for all the reasons that make Richard's videos amazing!

I wish some one made a detailed video like this, 10 years ago when i was trying to finish my 1st basement project. Very informative and detailed video. Thank you very much.

Actually, I think this video did exist 10 years ago (just not on youtube). We have this DVD at our library. I think it is from the 1990s.

Thank you for the video. Very well done. Informative. Nice job narrating. Thanks for taking the time.

amazing! I wish I had seen this video before I attempted my first drywall job in my garage. I've learned so much. Truly the best video I've seen on drywall.

Probably the best example of how to that I have seen. I handyman all the time and was raised in construction. I drywall the same; with a knife and trowel. Nice work!

WOW! The ultimate guide to drywall installation!

This video is a gold mine. I've learned so much.

Really great video. Will watch again when I come to drywalling my workshop

Awesome video - So many tips and tricks. Except, this just reminds me how much faster it COULD be not working by myself. lol

So true! If I had 2 guys helping me hang drywall it would be a breeze. Lots of swearing when I do it myself

Great vid. in case anyone who is watching wants to know, around 52min mark he's talking about it being difficult during the 3rd coat on the inside corner not to damage the opposing wall when running the knife down the corner. They have v shaped trowels for that.. not sure if they weren't around then or what, but it'll save you a lot of back-and-forth for sure.

I was using the corner trowels you allude to some 40 years ago so, yes, they did exist. They're wonderful tools. Gives a much better seam with less sanding.

Excellent Video - Thank you for great details on how to finish and repair drywall

Most complete and awesome presentation. Thank you very much. Great work you guys.

Phenomenal video. Thanks for making it for all of us.

Excellent video!!! very instructive and professional!! Thank for sharing!!!

Very well done I like the process and and the efficiency tumps up 👍

I can see you are giving a real service based upon your expertise! I commend you on that! I am so sick of seeing so called pros in their monkey suits just here to sell products to list of suckers! I'm a pro painter and I just shake my head at some so called painters dressed up presenting their video! Thanks friend, quite informative! My living is modest but my quality is unquestionable! I don't do drywall except for repairs in homes but I can take a lot of good tips from this video you have. I can be complicated! Of course, I have a brother that I assist in this endeavor at times. Generally we use eight foot sections only. But I certainly see with big houses and walls, you'd want your boards to be big as possible! Great job! We do houses like maybe 1500 sq ft. So that may be why. Thanks for keeping it real! Others on you tube should take notice! It is not hard to spot a fraud or an actor!

Very comprehensive and informative video on youtube, thank you!

that's bad ass. Labor is never easy, but these guys make it look very easy, and simple to do. That's called skill, right there! Great video I don't even have a house to do drywall work on, but I watched this whole video 56:28-mind blown

You're a beast Myron. Learned a lot from you man.

This is definitely the best, most comprehensive tutorial on dry walling. Thank you so very much! :-)

Best Drywall video ever!!!

Great video with a lot of detail. Thanks.

Excellent video, maybe the best on KZread for installing drywall!

Excellent video - thanks!

What a great vid! I learned so much!!

Simply an ARTIST!!!

very nice job! video was awesome

Nicely done my white brotha lol easy for beginners and a few reminders for us that know how to do it already 👍🏽😎

1000.00 question, drywall has been why hasn't someone tapered all 4 sides, the butt ends just a little to embed the tape and a little mud? Why do we need to make that butt end hump and feather it out so far to hide it........taper the butt ends already! Why do you use nails? Screws are the way to go, take a little more time but its one and done. EXCELLENT VIDEO!!

Super stuff big man 👍

im impressed these guys have some skills ! Rare to see regards from Germany

what do you think of round sandpaper like the large Radius 360 drywall method? yes please make a sanding tips specific video.

Great video.. I have my first drywall job coming up. Of course I'll hired more skilled guys to do it but atlase I'll know something about the job while there doing it. Quiet learning

The Einstein of drywall

this guy is too good lol...Pro obviously

Glad i came across this video.

Very informative

OMG! I needed a refresher on hanging around doors since it has been a few years & I am replacing paneling in my mobile home.. so NOTHING is level or plumb & the framing always needs to be augmented & I need to add nailers on the top & bottom... 1x3s as interior framing, headers & sills... really?!? Anyway, your vid answered my question in the first 15 mins... BUT the vid was so good I kept watching to get even more tips. MOST excellent!! Thank you!

Thanks for this informative video. I really appreciate the share, I learned a lot from it. I did have a question though. I baught some masterforce taping knifes and the plastic coating is coming off of it. Why is this happening and does that mean the knifes are garbage? I don't want that coming off in my mud

Our home is 72 years old and, I was wondering, what thickness of dry wall should I use or, get by with. Ceiling and walls. Thanks again for your time and video.

Very nice video. I had one question for you if you don't mind. You are using drywall compound 90 min on the first and second coat ? and a pre mix one for the third ? If so, you are basically doing all 3 coats in one day and then you wait another day for the pre mix to dry ? thanks

Perfect, thanks guys.

Great video, thanks a lot! =)

Hello there, I loved your video. I just have a few questions...how much per square foot did you charge your brother? How long did take you to complete his house? How many people? I'm remodeling a small home and my dray wall guy has not finished yet and him and his buddy already put 120 hours????

Thank you

Wish you'd covered how to finish the windows...

waal brilliant

If your stilts have fairly long straps ..for holding the feet down....try to secure them in a crisscross pattern ...that way there is no possibility of the front strap from slipping off towards the front ...and risking falling off the stilts...some tapers just wear regular running shoes.....which have a more pointy front than construction boots.

thanks

Great work and info! Thanks! If you had a Drywall Lifter and a Mud Box, your job would be done in less the time.

This should be “How to drywall like a boss”

No strapping on the ceiling?

I find it a bit odd that ...as you seem to be right handed....you keep the tape roll holder on your right hip. I keep it there too..but I am left handed...so when the mud is applied to the wall,.I pull the tape out with my right hand..pass it to the left ,...but I keep pulling the tape of the roller....and I start my tape run from left to right...that way I don't have to have the tape folded in half in front of me all the time...because I am pulling the tape from my right hip, and walking towards the right side of the room...hope it makes sense...lol

what do ya do when Mudd is drying too fast and clumping up...

esta muy interesante

I just happened to catch this but in my world, you never put water on drywall. I use a broom if a wall is dusty.

I like the tally sheet. Do you have a pdf

Finally a drywall install video done right, suggest wetting 1/4 inch to make bending easier, mark outlets with bright spray paint - markings hard to see with dust and dirt, use router instead of saw to cut out doors/windows as much as you can = saves your arms/shoulders... trust me

Can I cut the dry wall to 4' x 4' sections for the ceiling since I am doing this by myself? Awesome video. Thank you very much.

can you prime/paint right after that? i thought there was supposed to be some kind of coat on the wall before you paint, hence the textures in some of my rooms. or is it ok to prime/paint right then and there as the walls are in the vid? i just walled the garage, but was wondering if i had to do anything else after meshing/mudding, before painting.

Ight so I’ve been drywalling since I was 14 and this a pretty good video I guess, but there are sooooo many ways u could save time and do this job way faster, and why does it take 3 people to hang a sheet of drywall on the ceiling 🤦🏻‍♂️ it really doesn’t take more than 2 people ever

Now I wanna go get a job in construction and be useful to the world.

Looking for a great drywall hanger in the Chicago area any one have any answers.

when I see this video, I think it's 1970

👍👍👍👍👍

So you see drywall can be a very labor intense job and really all work and no play. Its done very quickly not at the pace you see here. Not too often do you see a clean cut well spoken person (boss), with glasses, neatly dressed, w. belt pocket protector and watch. working w. drywall, with no signs of material on him.

how do we calculate the number of labours required for drywall Installation??

Professional here, mesh tape is quicker but not a strong as paper. We use only paper tape on the job. Mesh has a tendency to crack if not first coated with quick set mud.

Good information but the title is misleading since he is not hanging it by himself.

Those pole Sanders screen sanding sheets are horrible and so outdated. Try the Radius360 and you'll never look back. can find them at your local paint or drywall supply house! Otherwise, the best and most informative video I've ever seen!

?????? The video starts in the middle of a sentence. It sounds like he's saying "New York" as if he is saying his name and the area where he works. But, it's cut off so we don't know who he is.
