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.

This man is OOZING Canadian! 😂

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 !

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!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Thanks, made me realize I was doing it the hard way with a utility knife rather than a drywall saw

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.

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.

Really enjoy your videos Shannon. They help me tackle my own home improvements more confidently! :)

I love how neat this was

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!

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 stuff. I like that it was more thought out than how HGTV makes it look by getting a sledge hammer and running through the wall like the Kool Aid man. This will help me demo the terrible drywall in my basement.

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 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.

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?)

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT - Extremely detailed and very easy to follow instructions with perfect demonstration. THANK YOU!

Very helpful and you have a pleasant way about you. Good tutorial.

One way to do this is- *OH YEAH*

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.

Thanks so much Shannon. Great video for us ladies repairing alone. Y ou are a great explainer. Simple and easy it seems.

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?

Thank you for your demonstration. I learned what I wanted to see.

This is just the video I was looking for. Very good step by step instruction, thanks!

More informative than the other videos I've watched. Thanks!

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.

Shannon we often take a reciprocating saw with a shortened blade so you don't cut electrical wires and then cut the drywall between the studs allowing us to just rip off the strips. I would like to see what you do when it is time to tape at the ceiling. PS check out the wallboarders buddy drywall cutter. I just finished off a whole house for the first time in 40 years. There were 120 corner beads to set and 8" window returns throughout the house as the house has 14" thick walls. It sure made the job easier

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

Always nice (and rare) to hear a fellow Saskatchewan accent on KZread

Thank you for this video as well!

You are the man! Thx for this ;)

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...

Thank you! The video and especially the real time aspect was very informative.

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 for your help. I watched your video and it gave the knowledge and the confidence to handle the job. Thank you again

Excellent video. Very descriptive and to the point! Thank you.

Thanks so much - I had no idea how I was going to do this. I'm going to try it tonight!

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.

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.

a good foot really helps, or in my brothers case a good headbutt (he actually headbutted a stud once)

Thank you. Very clear and easy to follow. Appreciated!

that was extremely helpful for preparing my bedroom demo. thanks.

Thank you for this video. It was really informative and helpful. I greatly appreciate it!

My drywall has breeze blocks behind it so I cant get the saw in there, also its tiled over with glass mosaic and they are really stuck on good so was hoping to rip it all out in one with tiles still on.

Great video Shannon...Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

Thank you . You are awesome . I was wondering about the ceiling drywall cut. I was hoping not to remove my ceiling.

Mark Cafiero it makes it go quicker and can be useful with plaster but is a bit overpowered and you run the risk of hitting any hidden utilities.

i have a bit of a complicated question: i need to take down the drywall from my basement bathroom but i would like to extend the bathroom a bit into the boiler room to create enough space for a stand in shower. will taking some space from the boiler room cause a problem? and will removing the studs and remaking the frame for the bathroom disturb the floor above? and how do i remove the 2x4s of that wall? thanks

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.
