Not sure about this... Leah scored along the pencil line. That's not right. You're supposed to swerve back and forth across the line. Then she snapped the drywall straight and clean. Also not right. You're supposed to snap it jagged, with pieces breaking off. You're supposed to do this just before it starts raining. And finally, you're supposed to tie the car's trunk lid down so that it will break the drywall. Aficionados can bash one or two corners of the drywall while maneuvering it into the car.

Ya have to love Leah. Her smiling face and honest straight forward practical advice are a welcome sight and sound in this troubled world.

Those videos dealing with solving a problem without owning all the professional tools are very helpful. I also liked the one with the yardstick circle for that reason. Sometimes it isn't about perfection, but just to get things done the best way possible.

Before unfolding it add PVA glue in the fold. Once unfolded and flat you can then use more PVA and glue a 4 inch wide strip of jointing tape across the cut mark. You will be shocked at how strong this repair makes the board. Just be sure to let it dry on a flat surface for 24 hours before moving it.

@seejanedrill I have watched literally 1000s of diy/home improvement/woodworking videos on KZfaq and I will say that your channel is the most helpful period!!! I just found it yesterday and have watched a lot of your videos and there some of the best on KZfaq. You have tips that are unique to your channel like this one and you explain stuff better than anyone else I have found on the internet especially for the diy'er. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. As a man I will admit that I have learned more than a few tips and techniques from this woman!!! Thanks again and please keep up the awesome videos. For what it's worth; your the only channel i get alerts on out of the 100 or so I follow!!!!

This might be obvious for others, but it’s pretty brilliant for folks who need to bring 4x8 sheets downstairs and the angles may not allow it. Learned something new today. Win for the internet.

My highst respect goes to this lady . I loved your comment at the end. "CAN DO" !

I’ve done this a few times while using two flatbed lumber carts as a table. It’s also good to get a sheet of plywood to place underneath to make it less likely to snap if you hit a big pothole.

Honestly, this just kinda blew my mind. One of those things that would have NEVER occurred to me. I've cut drywall in parking lots before, but only when I had measurements I knew and I literally cut it all the way through, sectioning it up as needed. Leaving the paper face intact is just brilliant. If you have a few wrinkles on the wall where the creases are, a whisper of mud while you're doing the rest of your mud work would hide that just fine. Just so clever - thank you Leah!

We use the roof racks on our Corolla to transport drywall, but the trick is to provide support. Use scrap 2 x 4's. We put 2 lengthwise along the roof racks, put drywall on top, then put on 2 more 2 x 4's. Strap near the front of this sandwich, around all the 2 x 4's and the drywall - this stops the wind from catching the front edge of the drywall. Strap to both roof racks. It doesn't hurt to use a line of masking or painter's tape across the front edges of the drywall to better keep the wind from catching them. Used the same trick recently for Kerdi board, doing a tub surround.

You rock!!! I have a 2 door hatchback, and I'm redoing my house, this will save me so much on delivery charges. Especially since I can only do a wall at a time.🙄

Always full of incredible tips! Another great trick for transporting long things in a small car: 1) fold the back seat down to open access to the trunk 2) pull the passenger seat all the way forward 3) drop the back of the seat down to flatten it out 4) open the trunk and 5) slide a long board into the car so that it runs from the passenger floor out the trunk. That's how I transport 12' boards home in my Mitsubishi Eclipse. Works like a charm! ;)

2:16 That snap was scary but she did it perfectly, like a pro!

@seejanedrill Ms. Leah I just want to thank you! This is one of your older videos, but it just came in handy for me! I ordered some construction supplies to be delivered to my house, but they won't be able to get it out to me until Thursday. I'm having electricians come to my house today & I needed to get my son's ceiling dry-walled (drywall over drywall to cover up a mound of adhesive left behind after removing ceiling tiles) before the electrician comes. Enter your video. I was able to transport 5 FULL sheets of 1/4" drywall in the trunk of my Hyundai Sonata! Not as small as the car in your video, but I had considerably more drywall to carry & it worked beautifully! Just as you showed. Yes. I can do this!!!! Your videos are a blessing & a confidence builder! PLEASE keep on keepin' on!

You should have a tv show..

Thank you, Leah. All the best.

Wow, what a great tip. I'm lucky that I've always owned minivans that can haul darn near everything but I can still appreciate a good, novel way of getting the job done!

Great tip! I'd never thought of that before, and we've messed with drywall multiples times!

Thank you so much Leah! I was in a bind the other day, and saw this video. Got my drywall home myself with no expense for a larger vehicle. Have a great day.

I did what you said! Folded up the drywall, shoved it in my Honda CR-V and got it home!!! Oh, I use a snap line to trace out the cut line too. Thank you SeeJaneDrill!

That was awesome! Never thought of that. An additional tip -get a piece of foam pipe insulation (or pool noodle cut lengthwise) to put over the hatchback coming down. Protects the car & the material when all those vibrations will mar both sides.

Thank you Leah! I am in my sixties and just learning. You have been so helpful. I just finished tearing out the drywall in my bathroom, and am ready to start installing the new stuff. I CAN do it!

You show some pretty cool stuff on this channel.

You are one of the most cleverest people on KZfaq 👍🏻

Hmmm....Why didn't I think of this? It worked very well! No costly delivery charge!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!❤

I grew up with trucks and now that I haven;t had one for about a year I really miss it. But, you showed it can be done -- cool..

This trick is awesome! I'm getting ready to go pick up drywall and am like 80% sure it will fit into the back of my small SUV if I angle it right, but I was so worried about ending up stuck with drywall I couldn't fit into my car without mutilating it in the Home Depot parking lot. Now I know as long as I bring my knife and T square that I can make it fit without worrying. Thank you so much!!

This is why you made sure you know which type of vehicle to own so you don't run into this type of issue. This brings me back to when I was still working at a Walmart store and this lady bought a 55" flat screen TV. When she pulled up to the loading area in a 2 door corvette. The associate was just baffled. They ended up strapping it on top of the corvette after she went back inside the store to buy some car strap to strap the TV on top of the corvette.

Thanks babe, doing a home improvement here and was trying to figure out how I was gonna haul sheetrock in my nissan rogue. You're the best.

That was a great tip. And I would have never tried it if I didn't see it here. In the past I have brought my measurements with me and cut my pieces in the parking lot, but this works for full sheets.💯

Thanks for this most helpful tip!! I have a small job to insulate my shed and couldn't figure out how to get drywall home without a truck.

Great to see so many positive responses! I guess it was the trolls' day off - yeah! Another wonderful tip. Cheers.

Genius! Simple effective solution. Not everyone knows about scoring drywall. My across the street neighbor emerged from his house covered head to toe with a white powder and coughing so bad he fell to his knees. He was finishing his basement and cutting the drywall with a table saw. This was a few years before KZfaq.

I've never needed one sheet of drywall fortunately. I've always had my orders big enough to have them delivered. But you'd be amazed at what I've walked home and brought home on a motorcycle...

well now there is something I have not seen someone do before. LOL Yeah, still watching your older vids hahahaha! HEY, life update! I am now working full time for a company called Servpro, in the reconstruction division. Everything from subfloor to ceilings. But to be honest, a LOOOOOOOOOOOT of what I do there is drywall. 3 days of mudding and sanding ceilings ( Thur, Fri & Monday). I was so happy to do plumbing all day today! hahaha! It is a tough job, but I genuinely love what I do! Hope you are doing well!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this video and all your others, I'm not sure I CAN do it, but I am going to try!!

I tried this over the weekend to carry 3 of these in my prius. Although it worked but it didn't look neat enough. Leah should tell what to be cautious about so that you cause minimum damage to the sheetrock. Like if you don't cut the sheet rock perfectly straight, what happens. or when trying to fold the sheetrock, it needs to be done gently otherwise you run into risk of tearing the top tape. some might say it's common sense but Pros don't do this trick, it's only who are not Pro or DIYers. We learn it eventually but I would have been happier if I had not destroyed my first sheetrock.

Mind blown at 7 seconds. I never even considered that small repair sheets exist. Thanks!

This is also a great tip for getting sheets through tiny stairways etc.

Real solutions to real problems is what separates seejanedrill from other channels.

That’s how the Pink Panther folded things in his show! Love it!

Leah you just changed my life in 2:47!

I just went through this and didn't know what to do. I'll check your page before my next project. And I agree you need your own show.

What do you do when you need a full sheet of drywall when you've got a little car?..........You buy a truck! LOL. J/K. Great tip Leah. Your videos are awesome!

Leah is such a show off. But we all love ‘er!

That’s the smartest thing I’ve seen this month. Thanks.

I have a Chevy spark and it’s about the same size as your car, this is perfect!! Thanks for the info, you rock!!

+seejanedrill I would recommend people use a lengthwise half sheet of plywood underneath, for good measure. OSB, or 1/2” ply should do the trick. Even better, would be to sandwich the drywall pieces with it. Doing so, protects both side from breakage; and getting pulled over for broken off drywall littering the road. Your idea, is pure genius. I’m a handyman, who only has use of his car right now. These tips, can be a lifesaver. I’ve fit up to a 32”x8’ door in the car. Keep delivering us great content!

You could water spray the cut, put some carpenter's glue in the cut then open it flat & let until dry 24hrs.

That was a brilliant tip Leah.. Would never have thought of this way.... Cheers from Australia!!!!

Sweet, i didn't know it could snap that cleanly. You have a hell of a steady hand, i'll be using the t-square as a guide fa sho.

Fortunately for me, my sienna minivan gets full sheets with the seats down. I've hauled many plywood and insulation sheets.

Hi Leah I've been away for a while but just wnat to let you know how encouraged I am with your videos. Thank you so much and I look forward to learning much more from you.

good thinking. Also with fold down back seats & lowered front passenger seat often going up into the dash to the very windshield you can fit some pretty long stuff inside.

I really enjoy your videos, I was going to say buy a truck. But someone said it before me. Lol

You are full of great tips and tricks. Thank you, from a tiny car owner.

Well done Leah. 🇬🇧

Thanks for the short and informative video, and it was exactly what I needed to figure out in my own situation! 👍

That’s pretty slick! So simple what never would’ve thought of it!

Leah, you are awesome and a true expert in your trade!

Awesome job! Can you do a video to mount that drywall somewhere and see how you manipulate a full sheet that's cut I'm half?

Lots of commenters seem to be objecting, "This is silly/stupid/more work. Get a truck!" But it seems to me that's not really the point here. Using another vehicle isn't always an option for any number of reasons, ranging from "I busted my last sheet of drywall and need to finish this RIGHT NOW", to "I don't know anybody with a truck and can't justify a delivery expense", to "I'm independent and know I can do this, so I will." There's also the quantity factor: If I was doing a big project all at once that needed a lot of sheets I'd almost definitely get it delivered or find a way to use a truck (and make the most of it by also transporting other large items together). Personally I've transported many items in my hatchback just by thinking ahead and maybe doing a little prep work. For 10m PVC pipes I knew the lengths I needed, bright a tape measure & hack saw, cut it shorter in the parking lot. LOADS of abandoned pallet wood? Emptied the back, folded down or removed the seats, brought towels to pad the windows. And my favourite: for moving most of the contents of a 3-bedroom apartment (in several trips), I took apart anything I could beforehand then prepped the car same as for the pallet wood. Only needed a truck for the bulky furniture like couch & mattresses. (As an added bonus, it was so much easier getting stuff through doorways or up and down stairs, and with less damage than if it was all put together.) Okay that's enough rambling, but if you got this far hope it was helpful. ~ A.P.

I had to do this once on my own. Wish I'd seen this video before I did it. I had to buy a knife at the store after I realized the drywall didn't fit in the car. It was a mess.

Long time subscriber awesome to see your channel grow throughout the years thank you for the super simple tip however extremely useful. Long live you and your channel

it is wise to place a plywood board under drywall boards as stiff support.. or 2x4 placed each 18 inch apart . If you drive over a pothole, then the drywall will collapse. and break away.

Every time I buy something like that, I just roll it up and stick it in the back of the car. Or you can buy the inflatable kind, which takes up even less space when rolled up. Works for plywood, drywall and everything in between!;)

WOW!! You are so smart and resourceful! Thanks for the knowledge 🌻💕

This is awesome! I have a little Chevy Cobalt and I need to get some drywall for my home improvement project. I think one sheet will do for now :)

I was trying to figure out how to transport full sheets of drywall in my Honda crv and a thought occurred.."I wonder if I can simply score it and fold it without damaging it?" Then found your video! ❤️

That's a neat trick!

only Leah! brilliant!

Another great tip. Thanks Leah

Glad my Focus has a roof rack! Sometimes I find cool stuff on the side of the road. Always carry rope 😁

You solved my dilemma. Thank you.

I only wish that someone helped us DIYers understand auto repair like Leah helps us with handy household repairs and construction. Yes, I know, there's Scotty.

i have stupid tight stairs to my second floor and cant fit a 4x8 sheet up them... this is perfect, thank you!!

Absolutely brilliant!

lol at the number plate blur

Woah! That is genius. I bet you could haul 10 or more sheets in there! I've had to do a lot of cramming in my Volkswagen, so I may have to try this in the future.

I love this channel, every time I search "How to do XYZ" its almost always the first hit and its always really helpful!

THATS nice really good never thought of that

Thanks yet again!

Leah, you have awesome, practical, problem-solving skills 😀

You are a mine of useful information Leah

THIS IS ONE BAD LADY...I LOVE IT WHEN A FEMALE KNOWS HER SHIT NOT MATTER IN WHAT FIELD...LADY YOU ROCK BIG TIME...

Thanks again Leah!! How can possibly someone dislike your tips and videos!!

Keep the wonderful ideas , Leah

Leah. I have to laugh. Only you can make bringing home drywall possible in a tiny roller skate of a car. You. Are. Awesome.

I never would have thought to do this in a million years thank you .

Wonderful Idea and I would never have thought of it. Thank you so very much. Keep up the posts, please. I love to do home projects and you encourage me with my endeavors.

the car looks like a robot with a tongue sticking out it is so cute

I ALWAYS learn something new and useful from you Leah. Thank you.

One bump and that will snap on the road 😒

I died when i saw how they tried to blur the plate # LMFAO

great idea.

Yes indeed!

good tip. never thought of it but then i have a mini van and trailer to pick up my sheet goods.

You are a genius! Simple solution to a common problem.

Great Vid, Thanks for sharing. I never thought of scoring the back of a sheet!

Again, thumbs up on your tips Leah!Thanks again!
