Very helpful, thank you. I have a case of (12) Buttboards I intend to use on wall butt seams with 12’ horizontal sheets. Do you recommend notching out the wall base plate or top plate to allow the drywall to set back and match the depth it sits on the Buttboard? Thanks for your help!
Sounds awesome! There’s no need to notch the framing, they simply suggest you wait to secure the drywall to the framing members closest to the buttboard until you secure both ends of the drywall to the buttboard. In other words, hang your sheets, but skip last stud/plates until after you’ve screwed both sheets of drywall to the buttboard. This way, you allow the buttboard to pull the two sheets into a recess/bevel without fighting against the framing. Finally, finish attaching it to the remaining framework and you’re all set 👍
I install drywall horizontally. It makes it easier taping joints. No center joints on a 8 ft tall wall. If you use rips of osb, you don't have the bevel.
lol, there’s a butt joint at the end of every price of drywall. on the long side of the drywall is tapered. not the other two edges. the only deceiving thing is he showed how it pull it in the center but obviously at the top and bottom plate it won’t recess it. base would cover the bottom but unless you do crown you’d still have the float the top of the rooms so how much time are you really saving if you only need to float half the sheet?

Not a good way to do it, way too much shadowing. And i assume you meant eight foot vertical. Ie tape joint floor to ceiling.
Would a heavy bead of adhesive on the outer edges of a standard ply create the same taper
You can also cut plywood and staple some strips to create that bevel
Yep, you probably could 👍
Wrong way of instaling drywall,if you would install drywall horizontal you woulnt have yhat problem
