Good tips! I never thought much about trying to reuse the drywall. I usually just tear into it looking ahead to installing the new. Your method creates far less mess even if it takes a little longer.

Wonder Woman. I remember the plaster and lath. We had it in our last house. It dates the wall behind differently than the bathroom. Ours was a b* to get off because the plaster also had mesh wire in it to help it all hold together.

Reusing the drywall is a great idea I most definitely will try to do that.

Nice tip Melissa, thank you!

Also, you can use a magnet from an old hard drive. Cheers!

That is a great hack! thanks for posting Melissa!

that is the best studfinder!

Nice job lady 👍

Hi Melissa, Great tips, Thanks for sharing.

Not a bad idea Stay safe and healthy

All you experienced people are late, super late in the game ! I developed this technique 15 yrs back without ANY background or experience whatsoever. I used simple common sense and a fridge magnet. My entire house in Boston was remodeled this way. Removed all the old sheets in their entirety, installed insulation, and put those sheets back. I preferred to strip the corner beading and re-install. This avoids any cracks in the walls and sheets are always more sturdy in their full 4x8 format. Plus i didn't hv to plaster the entire walls :)

Some carpenters will also hang drywall with nails….

Lath and plaster walls? How old is your house? And what's the story with the framing on the wall to your right? You have the midas touch when it comes to unscrewing those screws. I would have rounded them off and ended up breaking the drywall away and using ViseGrips. As always, great and helpful video.

Put plastic over the doorway and go go go. take you more time and money to save sheetrock, unless it is a small patch and even then.

project look like a nice job

Thanks for the hints and tips good vid thanks for making and posting 👍

Well done

How does one find screws plastered and painted over ,is there an app for that?

We glue and screw in Aus so this wouldn't work as well, as the sheet would break at the glue.

Muito legal seu trabalho
