Drywall Butt Joints - what are they and why placement is important

- Butt Joints happen - the amount of butt joints and where you place them is very important. More butt joints means more work and increases the possibility of joints cracking. Minimizing your butt joints, V grooving the board, staggering and hanging smartly decrease the possibilities of problems.

Great explanation! Really appreciate the time you take to explain things. I've learned a lot from watching your vids! You're one of my favs on YT! Thank you!
That's so great to hear! Thank you!!
Another great video Shorty. Nicely done! I always manage to learn something new or find out what I'm doing wrong. Andy ~
Very nicely explained! I did my project myself and I had a few butt joints I hope they hold up… YIKES 😅
thank you! And I'm sure they will hold up great!
I'm doing a small celing so using 2 tapered edge boards , give better finish
Butt Board haha such a funny name
Just curious if you want to leave space for expansion and contraction than when you pre-fill with hot mud.... Aren't you theoretically connecting the two pieces anyway with the pre-fill?..... Doesn't make any sense.... Anyone else has any thoughts on this?
Lydia, you were supposed to say, they can be a real pain in the butt at the end!
😂😂 I missed a golden opportunity there
Thanks for all the great videos! What's your thought of hanging drywall vertically to eliminate butt joints?
Great video and will be using your channel to learn more thank you!
Can you please provide a video/advice on how to create the “V”?
Sure! You can "v" them before hanging. Just take your razor blade and run up the factory edge at a slight angle. Removes any of the loose paper and creates a bit of a beveled edge.
Thanks so much for replying Lydia - many bigger channels don’t bother - will be trying this out shortly!
My drywall skills are limited and can now see it’s made a LOT more work for me at this stage!
How much do you charge a foot for a regular 8ft house. I want knockdown ceilings.
Can you recommend a good book in drywall?
Usg has a handbook - highly recommend getting it!
@@DrywallShorty Thank you!
