observing from America as a 40+ year drywall guy which started with the original Ames Taping Bazooka / tools. i see so many things different here from the ways Ames Tool Company company intended order of taping .. 😬 Have literally never seen the angles taped prior to the flats etc .. i will not comment farther because i do respect the speed and teamwork you guys display !! Rock on !
This is one of the best drywall "CREWs" ive seen in a long time. I emphasize the word CREW because they appear to work very well together. They keep a great steady pace and they all have what i like to call that stroke meaning they know how to manipulate and operate there tools in the proper way . Would hire any of these guys at my company in a heart beat. Very well done guys🤘 #DoneRiteHomeImprovements
With that many guys it's good to have 2 bazookas. One of the wiper dudes can keep a full bazooka ready for the tape stringer. He Never stops to fill. Works well with flat boxes also. Run 2 boxes. The chaser wiping down drops back and keeps a full box for the box man. Once again, he never stops to fill. That doubling back of the wipers with a trowel sure makes it pretty. I don't know how necessary it is. A full joint prefill does the same prolly quicker. Notice in a small unit like this with lots of guys, so the unit is taped fast, that the angles get run first. If flats run first (like normal) and not allowed to set, the angle glazer would pull out the tape on the flats. Well Done!
My god. I just got my first pair of stilts and doing some home repair after putting up recessed lights. I'm over here dragging around a ladder in case I get wobbly feeling and these dudes are RUNNING around, bending down and emptying hawk into buckets and GOIJG UP STAIRS in stilts! Guess I've got a bit of practice to put in ☺️
Cotton pjs are the best thing to wipe the plaster off your hands with. Try it you might like it. they have the added bonus off being really warm. The day we shot that was winter 6c the only day of winter we have or probably will have in Brisbane.
8:38 you can see the tape is curved a bit you need to make the tape straight as possible because over time it leads to cracks its true I been working in this 12 years I've seen people work and they leave lots of tiny errors or they don't focus on the tiny details to give a quality job too the client
Hate to say it, but these jobs nowadays consider that normal and is acceptable. People are so impatient these days that they are willing to sacrifice a small bit of quality.
Speed versus quality. Like roofers who all want to be the fastest and leave angled nails and shiners everywhere. But hey, they can brag to each other how fast they did it.
a little curve in the tape isnt going to cause it to crack later on lol. mabey not having enough mud under the tape or if the tape curves so much that it doesnt actually tape over the entire crack of the joint then it might crack other then that no
This guy has a very good understanding of a tool that is not easy to run without practice. However. We are not always blessed with a crew to finish a house lol. Oh how nice it would be.
That dude in the white hat was taping is butt off man that’s one hell ova team.they were so good the dude in green just sat down and watched.I’m a painter but I’m going to buy me a tape gun like that one
question. I have noticed in a couple videos from Australia I think? that the ceilings and walls do not form a tight seam like normally seen here in the US. I assume theres good reason for that...crown molding? I would assume youd still want a tight seem though, so someone help me haha. I have never seen that before.
Love the videos! Quick question. I seen in your other videos you guys use the flat boxes to coat the flats. Did you ever try wiping the tape with an 8inch knife then back filling it a little? Makes it a little easier for when you use the box. Anyways love the videos man
The gaps in the corners are terrible. I don’t care if they are going to be covered with something. The gaps destroy the building envelope. Also having gaps in places like a garage would be a huge no-no for firecode. Just my two cents as a remodeler.
¡Que facilidad! Hay tocáis siempre los techos con la mano, son bajisimos. Y aquí en España, siempre sube y baja con escaleras altas. Y los zancos no están homologados.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone install sheetrock on a wall with only one screw in the center. I wonder what they did with the walls ending 2 inches shy of the ceiling. These murders are pretty good though.
@@Maxkil Oh interesting, I've never seen drywall adhesive before even though apparently it's been around awhile. I will have to try this out for my next job and see how it goes.
Thomas White wow that’s interesting. Never seen that here in Texas . Here they have inspectors for everything even to check screws and drywall install before floating.
Hey max. So I'm the guy who commented in the past about the salt trick. I want to ask you in your experiences what is the best automatic taping tools for corners in particular, I'm still thinking of doing joints the way I do with a trowel and hawk, paper tape. I desperately need to increase speed, I have houses out the ying yang with deadlines. Im getting one of the corner bead tools right now to increase speed there, also a dewalt screw gun auto feeder, but I never used automatic taping tools and my old boss was against them, said any imperfection in a corner would make a high spot or bubbles in the tape. Just asking your opinion because of all the vids your making of them, thanks ttyl.
I’d also recommend looking into CanAm tools. Great for someone who doesn’t want to get into automatic tools. They’ll help with your speed and quality. IMO
they cove and cornice the upper angles in Australia , we uses to do mostly that in the UK till it went out of fashion , i used to love taping houses theat the cliant wanted cove or cornice as angle taping a full house became a breeze lol
I doubt it requires anything non standard. It just helps get the tape up faster and easier. I'm sure they'll still come back for more coats with wider knives, etc.
Omg they called y’all the best! I call bullshit, no corner tool needed. B would fire y’all I’m just speaking truth man. B would run y’all off yeah. Until you learn what your doing I wouldn’t post no more videos

The guy with the bazooka is hysterical in his pj’s and dark sunglasses 😎
He's higher then a kite also

Gotta ask, what's the reason for the gap between wall and ceiling. I see it everywhere but am unsure the reason? Crown molding? Thanks
Amazing crew but yeah, I just can't get over that ceiling wall gap.
My god. I just got my first pair of stilts and doing some home repair after putting up recessed lights. I'm over here dragging around a ladder in case I get wobbly feeling and these dudes are RUNNING around, bending down and emptying hawk into buckets and GOIJG UP STAIRS in stilts!

Ok, I’ve watched all these videos in this series. If the guy running the bazooka wearing pajamas?
Yes he is wearing his Pj's
I thought so!😂😂😂😂😂

Epic display of crewmanship!
Y'all work good as a team
why is there a layer of mud already on the flat joints before tape coat?
Old mate needs to hold the bazooka perpendicular to the joint at all times, makes it easier for the guy with the knife behind him.
Bazooka tapers can wear out a crew.
The only reason the bazooka works is because they prefilled at the joints. The bazooka puts out too little mud alone so you will get blisters.
True and that will leave a bad job
How would you rate the quality of Columbia drywall bazooka's? I'm looking at used one for a good price, appears to be in excellent condition.
They are very good
This guy has a very good understanding of a tool that is not easy to run without practice. However. We are not always blessed with a crew to finish a house lol. Oh how nice it would be.
And what's with the top angle being so big. Crown molding?
That dude in the white hat was taping is butt off man that’s one hell ova team.they were so good the dude in green just sat down and watched.I’m a painter but I’m going to buy me a tape gun like that one

We use the cornice to seal the sheets
@harleym3275 thanks man, it's my most common question that one

Thanks Jake, yeah some of the guys do it that way, covers the recess a bit better that way. Thanks for watching the vids, glad you enjoy them
I was showing my girlfriend and she was like, “but is it good? Its fast but does it look like crap?” Hahaha insightful curiosity
whats with the pink inside partition walls
What do y'all do about those crazy gaps between the wall and ceiling?
They get covered by cornice
Looks like a wonderful bunch to work with.
Amazing vid, Amazing team !!

Why the big gaps around the ceiling?
The gaps in the corners are terrible. I don’t care if they are going to be covered with something. The gaps destroy the building envelope. Also having gaps in places like a garage would be a huge no-no for firecode. Just my two cents as a remodeler.
Depends where you live and the code there. But pretty sure you wont do it out of love every job.
Hey camera guy wake up

I don't think I've ever seen anyone install sheetrock on a wall with only one screw in the center. I wonder what they did with the walls ending 2 inches shy of the ceiling. These murders are pretty good though.
Yeah it's got 4 daubs of glue on each stud the screw in the middle just holds it till dry
@@Maxkil Oh interesting, I've never seen drywall adhesive before even though apparently it's been around awhile. I will have to try this out for my next job and see how it goes.
Thomas White wow that’s interesting. Never seen that here in Texas . Here they have inspectors for everything even to check screws and drywall install before floating.
The glue must be super sticky to keep the sheet from sagging or warping before it dries.
@@Maxkil More glue less screws. Wow super nice job.
How many houses in a day?
I can tape a 5000 board ft house in about 2 hours with 4 guys. Depends how fast the guy behind me want to go. So 3 or 4
But we tape top angle
Man these guys are slow!!!🤭
Very good job !

Get rid of the hawks. Pans are much more efficient.

dude is on the job site wearing pajamas pants....come on
only 2 screws in between eh?
and glue between those screws
The Drywall is badly hanging now. They have more work with those angles, they are going to have to work more.
Shhhh mojado
they cove and cornice the upper angles in Australia , we uses to do mostly that in the UK till it went out of fashion , i used to love taping houses theat the cliant wanted cove or cornice as angle taping a full house became a breeze lol
Salut tout le monde ça coûte combien la machine bazooka?
1600€ + Une pompe 400€ . Tu peux en avoir moins cher en occaz . 600€ juste le baz comme celui là.
After using this tool does this still require a lot of sanding?
I doubt it requires anything non standard. It just helps get the tape up faster and easier. I'm sure they'll still come back for more coats with wider knives, etc.
What about corners? Don’t see too much only ceilings
corners on a previous video, check it out
Whoever hung the drywall did a horrible job
I’m sure you could do much better, right?
Can anybody tell me about them metal legs this guy is wearing haha might come in handy like you have no idea
Drywall stilts
