Episode 39: In this episode the whole family gets involved to hang drywall on the ICF walls and the wood-framed walls of the lake house. John shows how he uses a rotary saw to cut holes for the can lights and the electrical boxes. He also shows the special attachment for the impact driver that creates an easy way to screw in the drywall without pushing the screw in too deep.
There is quiet a debate on the internet of whether drywall should be hung vertically or horizontally. You will see it both ways in this episode.

The house is an ICF (insulated concrete form) home with suspended garage floor and concrete decks. This all takes place on a sloped lot, where the fun never ends. From septic to backfill headaches, join them on their journey to build a home on their dream lake lot on Table Rock Lake!
John and Leslie have remodeled three homes and provided construction on many more, but this is their first build from the ground up.
