Thank you for posting this video! My husband and I are getting ready to rip out a drop ceiling that’s covering an old, cracked ceiling the previous hid during the selling process. We don’t want to do it but need to unfortunately. This makes me more confident that we can do it.

Thanks! I have a ceiling job at home to finish and this helps. I’m not a pro but I figure with these tips and some patience I’ll get it done.

Excellent explanation! One of the best I've seen on drywall 👍👍

Awesome suggestion! I’ll be using this when I finish some ceilings around my house!

Great video with many clarifications. Thanks🙏I was looking at several, this is the best so far

I’m doing a living room 18 x 16 room by myself right now and ur video is helping me out a lot thank you.

Very nice video! Great quality!

You are excellent at explaining things! Well done! Nice how you don't skip any details like many KZfaq'ers do!

That was awesome. Thank you

This is absolutely amazing. 💯 thank you!

Great job love this video i will continue to follow

Another great video! In my state I have to use type X 5/8 drywall for the ceiling due to fire code. I’m dreading the weight of it

Brilliant video 😊

Wish you lived next door ! But This was a great video I think I will be able to do this on my own , Your instructions are clear and helpful Thanks for sharing

Amazing 👏🏿

Thank you for sharing this video. Can you show the next step in the process please how do you sand it and handle the dust?

Thanks for taking the time and making this video! I have to do drywall above my head and wasn’t doing to good 😳

Your awesome for this thanks 👍👍

I love your show 😃

Wow nice job 👍

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

Was watching this video for ideas about doing this myself, and had a good 💡. Instead of using a 10ft 2x4, use an adjustable A frame ladder and cut a jig to fit the backside of the rungs so you can walk up one side and have the shelf on the backside against the wall.

Good job, just a suggestion while the sheet is on the floor you could set some screws in place before lifting it.

amazing content

I like the non-annoying music. Good background but does not interfere with his words. Good video.

Great job Dude , that’s just what I thought, thanks 🙏 Cheers 😊😊

You could just screw a 4 ft peice of 2x4 across the wall studs about 2" from the ceiling for a ledge. Move it afterwards and do the same with the next panel. Your "assistant" is still good if the wall was concrete

My ceiling just came down. No water leaks signs and insurance won't cover. Seeing your video o feel confident to drywall My ceiling myself. Thx.

Cool 😎 gracias 😁

Having a drywall screwgun the right tool for drywall job is a must. I've done drywall for 20 years

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.

I literally just clicked on this video because my husband just bought a drywall jack yesterday to help with our remodel and I am so curious how you do it without a jack LOL 👀

A few screws with a large washer in the centre if the timber, clip the end of the sheet in and lift the other end with the support.

Smart!🎉

Muito bom !!!thanks(Brasil)!!!

I have a question sir do you do construction for work?? Because you are pretty good at it everytime I go to fix something in my house I end up making things worse like my bathtub faucet I went to unscrew it and the copper pipe behind the wall snapped off so I had to cut an access panel in my son's room to get to the pipes it was a nightmare I ended up paying my buddy 160 to fix it.

Its called a bugle head screw ...used to compress the bord on entry

oh no this is what my life looks like... except I am not doing so well at ever getting done... lol I even have the same Craftsman driver

What holds the support in place? Is it just leaning against the wall?

Hey nice work but, why didn't you use a full sheet to start? I just don't understand why you would cut it length wise unless your walls were not square it wouldn't make any sense

Do you have to put those wood boards up first if you are drywalling a ceiling with already existing ceiling tiles from the 1960s? I was tile to do that.

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

This probably sounds stupid but if you have an 8' ceiling and an 8 foot ladder, will the ladder be slightly too high or will it be a bit low and you cam shim it?

Can also sharpen your blades

I did the ceing of my bedroom.....can not lift a 4x8 5/8 drywall......i had to make them 4x4 LOL

I would have had the ceiling done by now

you need a chaulk box also

bro this dude must be giant, that 4x12 foot drywall looks tiny in his hands

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.

How thick are the boards?

why do you use the cut of # and not the actual size # ?? If my piece needs to he 80, then I measure my 80 and cut

Did you try with 12 feet? I need to do 12 feet

Thanks for your help! Looking to make a jig to help me hang hardboard to cover a popcorn ceiling. I liked the other useful tips sprinkled here and there--thanks again! I was *this close* to thumbs-downing the wife joke 😆

My neighbor wants to charge me $300.00 for a 73 or 75 sq ft room. That's a small room . Add insulation as well. Is that high i wonder

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.

Nice. A little misleading though. I have to do a whole ceiling not just the edge. Looks good though.

Tell that guy you know don't talk to no one when cutting anything of any sort 😁😁😁

Why won’t my screws go through the drywall and wood? 2inch screws 5/8 drywall. Wrong screws?

The edge of the room is easy...

Invest in a drywall lift or rent one. So much less fucking around and it’s safer. It’s not worth it to hurt yourself if you’re the provider for your family.

Why not rent a drywall lift instead?

Man, that’s a lot of time. Drywall square, one score, snap and go. Rasp? It’s going to (or should be) prefilled, taped and mudded, so it’s just not necessary and doesn’t create a better finished surface. As far as the ‘assistant’,….okay, that’s a way. I use a lift, but not everyone has one. Screws should never be flush, always just below the surface without cutting the paper. Good job.

Would of took me about 20.seconds to cut that board lol. That was painfully long

Yeah but... what about the middle? XD

1 cut is inough

NO NO NO you never work on a sheet of drywall while laying on the floor. Your shelf is called a deadman.

You need drywall glue...!!!

This is NEVER EVER 1080p

Buy a $250 drywall lift and save yourself the crap.

Quite a misleading title. If I wanted to know how to hang a half sheet on the edge this would be great. Either change the title or show me how to hang a full sheet in the center of a 10' ceiling by yourself without a lift.

Needs giant googly eyes. Otherwise, just what I was thinking.

Put some speed on it man😀

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

No help on putting a 4x8 sheet up. Wasted my time

Es mas que evidente que no sabes como se trabaja.

How Many Years Are You Working With Drywalls ??? You Always And All Your Life Putted In The Reverse ??? The Paper Holds The Screws. If Paper Did Not Exist Screws Will Follow Without Holding Drywall. Amén.

To slow of a proccess

Sheet rock jack? Lol amateur

Annoying

Exposure to drywall dust is hazardous. It can cause lung disease. It's important to wear an N95 mask when doing drywall work. Do what you wish with your own health, but you are setting a bad example for others watching. Other than that, it's a great video.
