    Hello! Yes keep you board at least 1/2 up off the floor to avoid "wicking moisture".
    Tapered edges are the edge of the board that go from 1/2" thickness to around 3/8" thickness. Drywall is manufactured this way so when you put a tapered edge up against another tapered edge there is a 1/8" recessed area in which to "tape" your drywall seams. This tapered edge permits the tape to "recessed into the drywall to make the finishing stage of the drywall easier to conceal the tape joint!

    We GLUE also, only thing different is we lean the top sheet in place against the wall, tap a nail about 3/4" down where it lines up with the stud. Just lift against the ceiling easy reach with the hammer. Then after a couple nails drove in, no holding necessary :) Screw the bottom then eyeball for the two in center. no need to mark for stud location. 10 or 12 foot sheets are no problem either. After a couple sheets finding center between top nail and bottom screw is easy . Great video !!

  • @BasementFinishingMan
    @BasementFinishingMan  11 років тому +1

    Wow that is a lot different than in our area! Galvanized metal studs are OK, but during the trim phase of the basement finish project they are a pain to fasten your trim too! You have to screw EVERYTHING which is a big pain in the Butt, and you never get the same finished tolerances with your trim when your screwing everything together. For my money it's always going to be a wooden framed structure...just my opinion though, personal preference!

    I use Liquid Nails on the back of the furring strips and I usually use 1 1/2" fluted masonry nails. I hand nail them on and I nail into the mortar joints for a better "grab" once the liquid nails sets-up they're on for life!
    You can try using your Ramset gun with 1 1/2" pins but I find the gun "splits-out the furring strips to often. Either way I use Liquid Nails construction adhesive. Thanks for checking out my basement finishing video channel!

    I just had to remove a few sections of drywall to investigate an issue.
    I’m relieved they didn’t use glue! There were no screw pops either. Maybe because they sunk them pretty deep? I can throw the cut- outs back up for reuse. I can imagine if they were glued I’d have made a big mess.
    Am I alone when I say I would gladly trade screw pops for something easier to maintain?

    I'm a carpenter from Scotland and I love watching these kind of videos to see how our methods of construction differ from yours. We always hang our plasterboard vertically as the standard ceiling height is 8ft. This way we only have vertical joints to tape and fill. Whats the advantage of hanging the plasterboard horizontally?

    • @djxxxplicit

    I live in a house built in 1890 and the baseboards are hard to take off and measured for the wall they are on now. In the living room a previous owner took down the old paneling and wall paper and cut the dry wall to but up with the top of the baseboards instead of taking the baseboards off and going to the ground with the dry wall. Besides it being not aesthetically pleasing is there any harm in hanging dry wall that way? There’s little gaps where they cut too much off.

    I'm planning on tearing down old wood paneling and replacing it with drywall. I was going to do one room at a time. Is it possible to do a single room in one weekend?

    Actually we stagger out butt joints to make the finishing easier.
    Instead of an 8' continuous butt joint that goes from the ceiling all the way to the floor (which would be very hard to finish and hide) we only have a 4' butt joints every so often which are easier to hide when we are in the finishing stage of the project.

    That is just his way of doing it. I live in the US and I only use screws as well and I don't use glue. When I was in Mexico we used steel not wood and used to used a 22 pistol to shoot holes into the concrete (In Mexico houses are made out of concrete and bricks) and gypsum board in Mexico is normally used for decoration purposes like making ceiling figures, bars etc. for anything else we use plaster.

    thanks for the video! very informative. quick question - what is the reason for starting with the top row of drywall to the cieling first then working your way down as opposed to starting with the bottom sheet then just stacking on top of it going up?

      You want to keep your wall drywall tight up under the ceiling drywall to help keep the ceiling -to-wall joint as nice an tight as possible. Plus...if your floor is not level you drywall won't be level on the walls and you'll then have odd cuts the rest of the project between the walls and the ceilings!
