Danny, YOU GUYS ARE FRKN AWESOME! That was a shit ton of drywall in a short amount of time. I'm certain you had a great time hanging with the Stud Pack! We need the link to your channel please.
Danny, watching you and your Dad helping the Studpack team was pure gold in talent and entertainment. You were a "savage crew" beast and you rocked it on this job. So much respect for you and your day - great job guys (and to Paul, Jordan and Rad too).
I hope you, your father and the rest of your crew come back the house once the stick are thrown up for that portion of the build. I loved your interactions with the stud pack crew.
Oh MAN You guys just gained a new subscriber! You and your dad are awesome, and it's insane to see how much experience you have and how quickly and accurately youwork! Fantastic job on this build, and THANK you for introducing yourself to the channel!
As a lifelong drywall, PROFESSIONAL lol... great job, guys...5/8ths sheetrock is the way to go...makes for a striaghter wall, and it looks better when you're finishing ...
If you had mentioned anchoring both sides of the box as you were installing them, I probably would have forgotten. Making a mistake and showing us really locks that in my head much better. Thank you for making mistakes occasionally so we don't have to.
Hey Paul. Here's a tip from a construction worker 10 years older than you....Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. The cartilage between your vertabrae will shrink before your strength gives out. So you will be strong enough to hurt your back doing things you have always done. 2 sheets of 5/8s board qualifies as too much for an aging worker. Or anyone really, but you can't tell that to the young bucks so let them. I was doing a small landscaping job the summer I learned this lesson. I loaded and unloaded 66 pound bags of gravel. No big deal. I could handle the weight no problem......well that was the problem. My back was in agony for a week. i swore if I recovered I would never do it again. I made my limit 50 pounds. Now I'm 63 and my limit is down to 35 or 40 pounds. Anytime I go over I pay.
I Came up with a quote many years ago: “You can play now but you’ll pay later, or you can pay now so you can play later - Either way? You’re still going to have to pay”.
Take collagen peptides (bovine) and a type II collagen pill plus glucosamine and condroitin. NMN and apiginen (decond at bedtime) and methylene blue will help you be able to use it.
Just after retiring from the phone company at 61 years old I though just get a part time job at HomeDepot in Electrical/Plumbing. But they put me in Gardening. 4 hours into the first day I loaded 210 Cottage blocks and Forty bags of top soil. I quit. My back was a mess for two weeks. I really should have gone out on L&I.
I replied something similar to another comment above. I'm 62, and I don't attempt lifting those kinds of weights anymore. Twenty-five years ago, I tweaked my back ONCE carrying two 1/2" sheets. It was a misstep, and my hips went out of alignment about 10 degrees. I was out of commission for a week. It comes back to haunt me no and again, especially if I'm not careful.
I've been watching the series since day one and was very happy to see Danny! Went to high school with him. Great guy! Keep up the great work, and ya'll are inspiring me with all kinds of ideas for when I put an addition on my house someday.
I had trouble lifting single sheets of 8ft 5/8" by myself. My back hurt just watching you carry two sheets up those stairs. I learned so many tricks in this video that I hadn't seen in any of the many other drywall videos I have studied. Can't wait for the taping and mudding video!
Right? I'm a year older than him, and my spine was screaming watching that. I don't even attempt to do two sheets of 1/2" anymore. I'm self employed, and the job screeches to a stop and so does my income if I hurt myself. Work smart, not hard, and work safe are my mottos.

I was on a four man crew that hung 16 condos in the 80s. I was a in my 20s. The homebuilder. Main rock expert was on of my partners. I learned that sheetrock hanging was best left to those that know the efficiency lessons. The other guys were real sheetrock hangers or we might still be there. Lumbee Indian crew, from Whiteville, NC did the finishing. Thank God. They were fast.
I know you said you didn't want another drywall episode since you have done so many of them. However, drywall is closer to what most DIYers can feel comfortable doing so I think the more the better. They are my favorite of your videos.
Awh yeah this was fantastic! And what a surprise to have some famous help come by too. It looked like you all were having an absolute blast. It was so much fun to watch. Can't wait to see how the mudding and taping goes, and what competition might be in store! Thank you so much for the videos!!
This is something to brag about! I’m a big fan of your channel all the way from Gotland, Sweden. The song you’re playing at 06.00 in the video was written by me! So glad you guys like it!
We ordered all 12s but supplier changed it on the fly to 12s and 8s I suppose cuz they were not allowed to operate their crane within 20 feet of our overhead power lines (their company policy) so they changed it to 12s and 8s and sent more guys to carry it upstairs
I use a corded planner before placing the wire plates. Much faster and efficient than routing sheetrock. Also, pretty surprised no outer doors are installed before you start. You're in a location with massive changes in humidity and the effects on the mud cure and tape can create real cracking issues down the road. After painting the ceiling is completed, it's all easy breezing moving forward. Too bad your schedule was off a few months with trips and delays. Winter would have been a great time to demo the house and get new foundation in with hard ground, low temps and limited rain fall.
The success of your channel has been incredible to watch. And the production and editing ... I'm sooo excited for you guys making all your hard work pay off and sharing it all with the world
Nice job, I always only use green board it's about a dollar more per 8' sheet but gives mould and moisture/water resistance that for me in FL where we have storms is money well spent, maybe consider for main house build. Ray Stormont
I'm a big fan of insulation in interior walls to help with noise isolation. My bedroom is right next to the bathroom, and I hate getting woken up in the middle of the night by someone with a small bladder...
Couldn't agree more, if I'd to do it over again, I'd have main level ceiling, interior walls between bedrooms, and all baths insulated or sound deadened is some way.
@@toomanymarys7355I used Green Glue (tape) on all my studs when I finished my basement (home theater room, bar, gym, 1/2 bath). Also used highly deadening acoustic tiles in the drop ceiling and denim insulation between the joists above. Around the stairwell down to the basement I also used 1/8 inch rubber matting under the drywall. You can barely hear anything on the main floor above with the sound fairly high. Before finishing, you could hear an entire conversation from someone in the basement on the main floor.
I was taught the same tip about putting the next sheet up in the run before screwing the butt. He was an old school drywaller working on a warehouse/office center for a drywall supplier, when I was a project manager for an electrical contractor. He showed us the tip on a wall with a door frame, and explained it exactly that way - that he wouldn't be able to slide the end piece into the slot on the metal door frame if the butt on the previous piece had any bulge or blowout from the screws - and that forcing it damages the new piece and you have to re-cut it. I renovated homes on the side back then, so that tip stuck with me forever, smartest thing I ever learned about clean-finish drywall joints. Thanks to @DrywallDanny for the good work. And kudos to you Paul, for knowing the trick to route the back of the sheet to save the plates. Drywall isn't structural, so it's just about the finish you see not being compromised. VERY smart workaround! 👍👍
Holy crap. I'm an architect by academics and past retired PM and I do lots of jobs for my home. What kind of gun is he using to fasten drywall. I'm definitely buying one. That could have saved me so much time in my past.
It's a collated drywall screw gun. Most brands make one, you load strips of screws and it auto feeds and has a depth stop adjustment for perfect set depth.
I’m currently in the middle of a shop build on my property inspired by Stud Pack and learning from you fellas and I’m drywalling at the moment. Always enjoy your knowledge, humor, and insights. Thank you!
Some of the techniques in this video were great, such as staggering the screws to adjacent drywalls, and I wish I had used that collated drywall screw gun when converting a garage into a master bedroom many years ago.
Nice job! Where I live the Building Code requires that we have to have vapor barrier (e.g., 6 mil plastic) on the warm side, that is, under the drywall, before installing the drywall.
I havent seen you guys have So much fun in a video in quite a while. Absolutely love it. Great way to approach content you've already made, and I still learned things! And the mistakes 😂 Learning to laugh at your mistakes is the best thing I have learned from this channel. Keep it up, guys!
I love how you guys include other UA-cam channels into your projects. So amazing to see you guys work together. I wish me and my brother could come out and paint the exterior for you guys, Would be awesome.
Wow, I think I start every comment with your channel the same way. WOW! What an amazing experience to have your help know the total ins and outs of dryealling. 👍🏼
Amazing video! So awesome to see 2 Dad+Sons (didn't forget about you Rad) teams knocking out this part of the project. I am definitely coming back to this video with my dad on Father's Day to rewatch and celebrate the joy of working together. Thanks gents!
Danny and his dad sure know what they are doing! Most people can do drywall to some degree. But most people are in the 50 %. These guys must be 200! WOW!
Hiya Stud Pack! And another cool video! Thanks for making my Saturday! :) Echoing what many have already said: It's always a pleasure to watch experienced pros do work - They make it look SOO easy. Obviously long since passed, but I'm curious about why Paul hogged out the drywall for the nail guards, rather than maybe taking a small pocket in the stud for those plates? I've thought of that in the past myself (drywall hogout), but was concerned I'd leave the surrounding areas weakened. So, I ended up chiseling out a bit of wood in the stud. @ 8:55 - Paul, you missed a golden opportunity.... FREE Bird!! ;) When you talked about "breaking the rules" by working on a Sunday, I wanted to share some wisdom with you: When you are enjoying what you're doing, you'll never work a day in your life! :) I'll never NOT be supportive of insulation in the walls. Knocks down the noise (as you are well aware) and I believe it helps to minimize heat / cold transfer within the house; gives it a more consistent "feeling". Well done on putting those excess batts to use in "The Throne" room. ;) Were you guys thinking about how incredibly useful that scaffolding would turn out to be, back when you bought it? I'll bet you were kind of feeling some buyers remorse at the register at that time, but you aren't now! LOL Keep 'em coming guys (and those super supportive ladies)! a LOT of fun watching this thing take shape!
"Free bird" 😂😂 we talked about removing the nail plates, routing, etc. but those guys were flying so i didn't want to slow them down any, hogging out the drywall was the fastest way
It's so fun watching true craftsman work their skill perfectly, also nice being able to work with your dad as he shows you all the little tricks! Looks amazing guys!!
I've been drywalling & taping for like 40 years & I ALWAYS use drywall glue on wood framing. I see a lot of people DON'T use it... don't know why but hey... whatever floats your boat!
Another area where Australia (and other places) differs from the States is with plasterboard (I'm not sure how it can be called drywall when it used on a ceiling). 16mm (5/8'') material is virtually never used here except when it's a fire rated installation and then it's a special fire rated board, not standard material. 16mm is available but its use is limited to some commercial applications. Most ceilings and even walls in project developments use 10mm (3/8''). Considering your 16'' framing spacing we would see this an extremely robust construction as compared to elsewhere. Some unkind folks would say it was overkill. I love what you guys are doing and have no doubt the final article will be really spectacular.
16mm/5/8" is rarely used in residential construction here either. 13mm/1/2" is the norm unless it's commercial or as needed for fire rating between residential units. There definitely is an increase in sound deadening, but in this build, with its cavernous cathedral ceiling, I doubt that that aspect matters much. Unless those massive windows are triple pane (I can't remember if they are) most of the exterior street noise will be coming through them. On the ceiling in the garage, absolutely, but it would be needed for fire rating regardless. If I was going to be building this, I would have put the effort into sound dampening materials and techniques between the garage and the living space. Now, a bit of history for you. 10mm/3/8" plasterboard/drywall was widely used from about the late 1930's into the 1970's in many parts of North America. It was a transitional method, moving away from labour intensive 2" wood strips, (or wood lath) and plaster for finishing interior walls. The sheets were usually 2'x8', and typically was covered in a Portland and sand plaster to achieve a thickness of about 16mm/5/8". One trade name was Rocklath, which is why you'll hear North Americans refer to modern board as sheet rock as well as drywall.
@@frugalcalvinist Excellent summary Frugal, and thanks for the info. I certainly don't knock what is done in the States, in fact in a lot of ways the USA sets an example that the rest of the world should follow. The result presumably would mean that buildings are more fit for purpose there than they are here. Alas, these days the only thing that seems to matter is dollars and how the maximum return can be extracted from a building project. Your comment about a fire separation between the garage and the rest of the building is interesting. That requirement used to apply here but was dropped when the building regs were revised some years ago - something that should be reconsidered in my opinion.
When I first got into the garage door business I was slow as shit, but after awhile I would have people setup lawn chairs and watch me do my thing. After I got done they were blown away about how fast it took. Just like the drywall guys, (and don’t forget bout the delivery guys) they make a tuff job look easy.
Love that you used the extra insulation for the bathroom but why not go all the way up Noise control!! I always do interior walls for noise.. (especially bathrooms if you know what I mean! lol) Love the channel Ps interior solid core doors for noise!! When watching a movie you don’t want to bathroom noise to ruin it!
Congrats on drywall. It looks great. My son and I built our house 25 years ago and we used 5/8 drywall for the same reasons you gave. If I recall it wasn't that much more and I wanted solid walls that didn't deflect when you leaned on them. I can't wait to see the next video with the drywall finished. This series brings back memories. Great series guys.
Great job guys. happy to see 5/8 drywall used on 24" oc trusses. I just rocked my complete gut and update. Older house, everything is 16" OC but i wish i could use the 5/8 everywhere. So much difference. I only used the 5/8 on side exterior walls where fire rated required. There is a big price difference here in Canada 1/2 vs 5/8. I see 1/2" drywall on 24" trusses in the new builds here and I cringe when i see it.
Being a drywall savant myself I find it easy to criticize drywaller on UA-cam. No criticism here. Danny is a true professional and I can’t wait to see if he passes muster on the finishing video!!
I am a pre-fab wall panel designer and I find it interesting that you used 5/8" gyp board. I look at plans for over 100 different (new construction) buildings a year, year after year, and EVERY SINGLE ONE uses 5/8". I have never seen 1/2" specified. And yet almost every youtube renovation i watch, there they are using 1/2" drywall. Personally, just the difference in burn-through time (1 hour vs 1/2 hour) is enough for me to use 5/8" at home.
Burn through time is moot when you have a room full of foam cushions and plastics. You have mere minutes before the toxic smoke kills you. The only advantage would be containment to slow the spread to adjacent structures, and that's all about property damage not saving lives in SFH environments like suburbia.
spread time is precisely why burn-through time matters. And it IS about saving lives, as you can easily see if you think about the Stud Pack garage. There is a residential unit on the 2nd floor and garage on the 1st. If a fire starts in the garage while someone is sleeping upstairs, an extra 1/2 hour of burn-through time has a good chance of being very, very important. The same applies in the separation between your kitchen space and the floor framing above. The longer it takes a kitchen fire to get through the gyp board and into the floor framing the better. same with heating appliances, electrical fires, etc etc etc. anything which slows the spread of fires through a structure saves lives.@@frugalcalvinist
Yes, burn through is important between a garage and a living space, and between attached individual residential units. However, sheeting your interior walls in 5/8" is nonsensical unless you install fire rated doors on every bedroom, and the bedroom doors are closed every night. Kitchen fires typically happen when people are awake and while cooking, so burn through is moot. One would assume that anyone sleeping in bedrooms would be alerted by the cooks. In this build, I'd hope that a fire rated door will be installed in the garage at the stair entrance. The residential code where I am only requires a self closing door (or did, it may have changed recently). There is egress through the deck doors in this Studpack build, so as long as a working smoke/CO detector is in place in the garage, burn through is less of an issue. They've made no mention of wired smoke/CO detectors installed, but I'm sure it's just an oversight (I hope). @@jackknife89actual
5/8x12’ are pretty heavy especially when screwing them up over your head and they flew right through it. Tell Reverse Rad to hold the trigger down continuously while screwing from one to the next. A lot of newbies have trouble. Can’t wait to see the mud video. Great job all around. Looks awesome
Watch you're back, Paul! I'm fine doing framing, but I'm more than happy hiring a crew of twentysomethings to wrangle those heavy sheetrock panels. Money well spent as far as I'm concerned. I turn 66 today and I ain't never hanging drywall again.
Back in the days of my youth, I was a pro hanger. I could stiff arm a 5/8" sheet solo on the lid all day. Enjoy your youth folks, I cant do that now.. When I hit 60, all of a sudden those sheets were heavy.
I saw the video pop up on my notifications and saw the drywall and I have never clicked on a video so fast! Though, not as fast as those drywallers! True talent. You are so close to it being a home!
This is why you hire pros to hang and mud your drywall whenever possible. The Stud Pack guys aren't amateurs, but these drywall hangers blew them away with speed and acuracy. Also, this shows why it would be a good idea to mount a cantilevered frame on one end of the main house with a block and tackle to raise heavy materials up to the second floor. THe scaffold worked okay on the garage, but the main house is going to be much larger - you need that block and tackle to give you a mechanical advantage when raising plywood, drywall, and other stuff without needing to hump it up stairs or pivot - PIVOT! - around tight corners.
I’ve been doing drywall in WA state for going on 25 years. Using 5/8 on the ceiling is great if you want, but 1/2 on 24 o/c trusses is perfectly fine. Every residential company I’ve worked for does it and has no issues with sagging. It’s what was done in my own personal home that’s over 30 years old.
At some point soon you guys should do an episode on what you would do differently when building the house, covering all the key decisions. For me the spray foam has both huge pros and cons. Wondering if you would reconsider to rockwool next time.
Never heard of anyone routing sheetrock. You guys are innovators. I don't like working on Sundays either and won't unless it's unavoidable. I appreciate you guys not wanting to "break the rules" unless you have to. Looking forward to the next video.
It's great to see another father/son team. Read having the tool in reverse is something I've done before. Can't ever remember which way is forward and which is reverse. LOL. Well, the bird heard you talking about birds so it had to fly in to check things out. :P Oh wow. It looks so different with the drywall up!
I am one of those people that is skeptical about the reality TV show character portrayal and there you are proving that Drywall Denny is the real deal.
Code dictates 12” spacing in the field 8” at the borders. Ceilings should be doubled screwed within 3-4 inches very 12” in the field. It’s holding a lot of weight, cheap insurance IMO.
That last segment, in the sheet rocked garage area...finally get a sense of what the finished room will be like. It hurts me, being much further north, to see you folks jaunting about t-shirts and shorts. We have blowing snow and freezing winds today
So cool that you are bringing in the pro's and they have all been great personalities on camera. All construction is doable by the DIY'er, you only have to look around on UA-cam to see that. But it takes a trade specific pro to really knock it out efficiently and in a way that won't cause issues down the road. Those are the things the DIY'er don't show you on camera.
Long-time / first-time... You guys all had such a great dynamic. Really enjoyed this one! Nice to see that sometimes even the pro's need to trim a couple times after the first cut :)
Single family residential is much more relaxed in the US than commercial or multifamily. The emphasis is having enough to escape the building, and not enough to protect the building. Even a duplex has a thicker wall between units than single family has in a garage. Until recently, garages only required fire seperation, not fire rating to seperate between the garage and interior, unless there is living space above the garage, which needs fire rating. Texas may not have picked up this code change yet. But, 5/8” meets fire rating. Doors only need 20 minute fire rating in the latest code, but they do need an automatic closer that most people remove as soon as the inspector signs off on the building.
Stud pack! Couldn’t have done it without you guys! Thanks for having my dad and I come rock out with you guys!

@16:17 That tip on not screwing until the next sheet makes so much sense! And "bird" is right. Holy crap were they flying!
That guy has a sixth sense on being able to shoot a screw into a stud… it’s like he’s developed muscle memory on how far 16” is lol. Amazing.
Fuck with him and take him to a 24 inch on center job.
Yeah, I was amazed by that. I'm usually off a good two inches.
@frugalcalvinist that's what my wife tells me.
Some drywall has tiny faint X's in rows so that maybe why. They probably wouldn't show up on the camera.
5:12 "You're in reverse." And so Reverse Rad was born.
Dar
I think the placement of the reverse lever on the Milwaukee screw gun is not good. Too easy to bump. And who uses it to reverse anyway

14:37 Service loop is of no use if its all ceased up in spray foam! I'd have freed up the wires over switch and outlet boxes so that you have some easy slack to pull into the box should you ever need it.
all electrical things in that building are useless once spray foam is used
They didnt add service loops if you look back to the wiring video
This is very true, learned that our 12 adjustable depth boxes are no longer adjustable 😀
There HAS to be a better way than spray foam!

5/8" is the only way to go. Doesn't cost much more and makes a significant difference to the feel of the room.
Can you explain what you mean by "feel?"

Yes I remember DANNY from the Tough As Nails show and he is a good man to have on the Stud Pack and again he shows why he was SAVAGE CREW team member
WOW! What a fabulous duo. Loved the energy and it looks great!
I use a corded planner before placing the wire plates. Much faster and efficient than routing sheetrock. Also, pretty surprised no outer doors are installed before you start.

Nice job, I always only use green board it's about a dollar more per 8' sheet but gives mould and moisture/water resistance that for me in FL where we have storms is money well spent, maybe consider for main house build. Ray Stormont
Thanks Ray!
Love when the drywall is up. Makes a big difference. Starts to look like a home
That was so satisfying!! Thinking back to the foundation flood, this is just sweetness. Loved Danny! And damn Rad is great.
Wow they were great! Seriously ready for the camera and everything. The skill was humbling for me lol. Definitely need them back for the main house.
I'm a big fan of insulation in interior walls to help with noise isolation. My bedroom is right next to the bathroom, and I hate getting woken up in the middle of the night by someone with a small bladder...
Couldn't agree more, if I'd to do it over again, I'd have main level ceiling, interior walls between bedrooms, and all baths insulated or sound deadened is some way.
The 5/8” drywall makes a huge difference in deadening sound as well. Much better than 1/2”.
Use Green Glue. I broke my toe in the shower and no one heard me scream. 😂
@@toomanymarys7355I used Green Glue (tape) on all my studs when I finished my basement (home theater room, bar, gym, 1/2 bath). Also used highly deadening acoustic tiles in the drop ceiling and denim insulation between the joists above. Around the stairwell down to the basement I also used 1/8 inch rubber matting under the drywall. You can barely hear anything on the main floor above with the sound fairly high. Before finishing, you could hear an entire conversation from someone in the basement on the main floor.
I was taught the same tip about putting the next sheet up in the run before screwing the butt. He was an old school drywaller working on a warehouse/office center for a drywall supplier, when I was a project manager for an electrical contractor. He showed us the tip on a wall with a door frame, and explained it exactly that way - that he wouldn't be able to slide the end piece into the slot on the metal door frame if the butt on the previous piece had any bulge or blowout from the screws - and that forcing it damages the new piece and you have to re-cut it. I renovated homes on the side back then, so that tip stuck with me forever, smartest thing I ever learned about clean-finish drywall joints. Thanks to @DrywallDanny for the good work.
And kudos to you Paul, for knowing the trick to route the back of the sheet to save the plates. Drywall isn't structural, so it's just about the finish you see not being compromised. VERY smart workaround! 👍👍
Holy crap. I'm an architect by academics and past retired PM and I do lots of jobs for my home. What kind of gun is he using to fasten drywall. I'm definitely buying one. That could have saved me so much time in my past.
It's a collated drywall screw gun. Most brands make one, you load strips of screws and it auto feeds and has a depth stop adjustment for perfect set depth.
I believe the one he had was a Hilti or Milwaukee Screw gun. I have a Ridgid and it is decent for the DYI’er.
I’m currently in the middle of a shop build on my property inspired by Stud Pack and learning from you fellas and I’m drywalling at the moment. Always enjoy your knowledge, humor, and insights. Thank you!
Milwaukee brand
@@StudPack did Danny use that or something different?
Another killer video. Again, love when you bring experts in that speak well on camera and can explain the details of their craft!
As a born and raised Washingtonian who is now a Texan, loved seeing some folks from Washington on the show helping out.
Some of the techniques in this video were great, such as staggering the screws to adjacent drywalls, and I wish I had used that collated drywall screw gun when converting a garage into a master bedroom many years ago.
Nice job! Where I live the Building Code requires that we have to have vapor barrier (e.g., 6 mil plastic) on the warm side, that is, under the drywall, before installing the drywall.
Drywalling has to be one of the hardest jobs in the world. The guys who do it are incredible.
I havent seen you guys have So much fun in a video in quite a while. Absolutely love it. Great way to approach content you've already made, and I still learned things! And the mistakes 😂 Learning to laugh at your mistakes is the best thing I have learned from this channel. Keep it up, guys!
I love how you guys include other UA-cam channels into your projects. So amazing to see you guys work together. I wish me and my brother could come out and paint the exterior for you guys, Would be awesome.
This is so awesome that you guys got Drywall Danny to come and collaborate with you guys! We loved watching him on Tough As Nails!
Wow, I think I start every comment with your channel the same way. WOW! What an amazing experience to have your help know the total ins and outs of dryealling. 👍🏼
Amazing video! So awesome to see 2 Dad+Sons (didn't forget about you Rad) teams knocking out this part of the project. I am definitely coming back to this video with my dad on Father's Day to rewatch and celebrate the joy of working together. Thanks gents!
Danny and his dad sure know what they are doing! Most people can do drywall to some degree. But most people are in the 50 %. These guys must be 200! WOW!
An amazing job by you three and all the pros you were able to collaborate with on this build. Nice to see the drywall up.
SPOKANE!!! Representing!!!! Nice work gents, so fast!!
Great Video! The Washington Crew, so many Drywall tips! Amazing.
Gotta say you got some awesome crews helping you out with this build. Great to see drywall coming up!
Hiya Stud Pack! And another cool video! Thanks for making my Saturday! :) Echoing what many have already said: It's always a pleasure to watch experienced pros do work - They make it look SOO easy.
Obviously long since passed, but I'm curious about why Paul hogged out the drywall for the nail guards, rather than maybe taking a small pocket in the stud for those plates? I've thought of that in the past myself (drywall hogout), but was concerned I'd leave the surrounding areas weakened. So, I ended up chiseling out a bit of wood in the stud.
@ 8:55 - Paul, you missed a golden opportunity.... FREE Bird!! ;)
When you talked about "breaking the rules" by working on a Sunday, I wanted to share some wisdom with you: When you are enjoying what you're doing, you'll never work a day in your life! :)
I'll never NOT be supportive of insulation in the walls. Knocks down the noise (as you are well aware) and I believe it helps to minimize heat / cold transfer within the house; gives it a more consistent "feeling". Well done on putting those excess batts to use in "The Throne" room. ;)
Were you guys thinking about how incredibly useful that scaffolding would turn out to be, back when you bought it? I'll bet you were kind of feeling some buyers remorse at the register at that time, but you aren't now! LOL
Keep 'em coming guys (and those super supportive ladies)! a LOT of fun watching this thing take shape!
"Free bird" 😂😂 we talked about removing the nail plates, routing, etc. but those guys were flying so i didn't want to slow them down any, hogging out the drywall was the fastest way
Rockers are my hero's! Drywall Danny is a BEAST!
I am having fun watching your progress on this house!
Seeing experts in their line of work is always really fun to watch! Love it!
It's so fun watching true craftsman work their skill perfectly, also nice being able to work with your dad as he shows you all the little tricks! Looks amazing guys!!
I've been drywalling & taping for like 40 years & I ALWAYS use drywall glue on wood framing. I see a lot of people DON'T use it... don't know why but hey... whatever floats your boat!
2 videos in 3 days. Loving this.
Another area where Australia (and other places) differs from the States is with plasterboard (I'm not sure how it can be called drywall when it used on a ceiling). 16mm (5/8'') material is virtually never used here except when it's a fire rated installation and then it's a special fire rated board, not standard material. 16mm is available but its use is limited to some commercial applications. Most ceilings and even walls in project developments use 10mm (3/8''). Considering your 16'' framing spacing we would see this an extremely robust construction as compared to elsewhere. Some unkind folks would say it was overkill. I love what you guys are doing and have no doubt the final article will be really spectacular.
16mm/5/8" is rarely used in residential construction here either. 13mm/1/2" is the norm unless it's commercial or as needed for fire rating between residential units. There definitely is an increase in sound deadening, but in this build, with its cavernous cathedral ceiling, I doubt that that aspect matters much. Unless those massive windows are triple pane (I can't remember if they are) most of the exterior street noise will be coming through them. On the ceiling in the garage, absolutely, but it would be needed for fire rating regardless. If I was going to be building this, I would have put the effort into sound dampening materials and techniques between the garage and the living space.
Now, a bit of history for you. 10mm/3/8" plasterboard/drywall was widely used from about the late 1930's into the 1970's in many parts of North America. It was a transitional method, moving away from labour intensive 2" wood strips, (or wood lath) and plaster for finishing interior walls. The sheets were usually 2'x8', and typically was covered in a Portland and sand plaster to achieve a thickness of about 16mm/5/8". One trade name was Rocklath, which is why you'll hear North Americans refer to modern board as sheet rock as well as drywall.
@@frugalcalvinist Excellent summary Frugal, and thanks for the info. I certainly don't knock what is done in the States, in fact in a lot of ways the USA sets an example that the rest of the world should follow. The result presumably would mean that buildings are more fit for purpose there than they are here. Alas, these days the only thing that seems to matter is dollars and how the maximum return can be extracted from a building project. Your comment about a fire separation between the garage and the rest of the building is interesting. That requirement used to apply here but was dropped when the building regs were revised some years ago - something that should be reconsidered in my opinion.
When I first got into the garage door business I was slow as shit, but after awhile I would have people setup lawn chairs and watch me do my thing. After I got done they were blown away about how fast it took. Just like the drywall guys, (and don’t forget bout the delivery guys) they make a tuff job look easy.
Love that you used the extra insulation for the bathroom but why not go all the way up
Noise control!!
I always do interior walls for noise.. (especially bathrooms if you know what I mean! lol)
Love the channel
Ps interior solid core doors for noise!! When watching a movie you don’t want to bathroom noise to ruin it!
I’m guessing they will in the main house but with this being more temporary they’re trying to save money where they can
Or they used up the excess… as they were trying to do.
Congrats on drywall. It looks great. My son and I built our house 25 years ago and we used 5/8 drywall for the same reasons you gave. If I recall it wasn't that much more and I wanted solid walls that didn't deflect when you leaned on them. I can't wait to see the next video with the drywall finished. This series brings back memories. Great series guys.
Y'all are just so impressive. I'm watching videos to learn how to hang drywall the right way. Thank you all
Great job guys. happy to see 5/8 drywall used on 24" oc trusses. I just rocked my complete gut and update. Older house, everything is 16" OC but i wish i could use the 5/8 everywhere. So much difference. I only used the 5/8 on side exterior walls where fire rated required. There is a big price difference here in Canada 1/2 vs 5/8. I see 1/2" drywall on 24" trusses in the new builds here and I cringe when i see it.
Omg I have been counting down to drywall day!!! Wooohooo huge milestone on this build!! Awesome job guys 🙌
Being a drywall savant myself I find it easy to criticize drywaller on UA-cam. No criticism here. Danny is a true professional and I can’t wait to see if he passes muster on the finishing video!!
Thanks savant!! tape and mud look awesome !!
I am a pre-fab wall panel designer and I find it interesting that you used 5/8" gyp board. I look at plans for over 100 different (new construction) buildings a year, year after year, and EVERY SINGLE ONE uses 5/8". I have never seen 1/2" specified. And yet almost every youtube renovation i watch, there they are using 1/2" drywall. Personally, just the difference in burn-through time (1 hour vs 1/2 hour) is enough for me to use 5/8" at home.
i've always liked 5/8" 💪thx!!
Burn through time is moot when you have a room full of foam cushions and plastics. You have mere minutes before the toxic smoke kills you. The only advantage would be containment to slow the spread to adjacent structures, and that's all about property damage not saving lives in SFH environments like suburbia.
spread time is precisely why burn-through time matters. And it IS about saving lives, as you can easily see if you think about the Stud Pack garage. There is a residential unit on the 2nd floor and garage on the 1st. If a fire starts in the garage while someone is sleeping upstairs, an extra 1/2 hour of burn-through time has a good chance of being very, very important.
The same applies in the separation between your kitchen space and the floor framing above. The longer it takes a kitchen fire to get through the gyp board and into the floor framing the better. same with heating appliances, electrical fires, etc etc etc. anything which slows the spread of fires through a structure saves lives.@@frugalcalvinist
Yes, burn through is important between a garage and a living space, and between attached individual residential units. However, sheeting your interior walls in 5/8" is nonsensical unless you install fire rated doors on every bedroom, and the bedroom doors are closed every night.
Kitchen fires typically happen when people are awake and while cooking, so burn through is moot. One would assume that anyone sleeping in bedrooms would be alerted by the cooks.
In this build, I'd hope that a fire rated door will be installed in the garage at the stair entrance. The residential code where I am only requires a self closing door (or did, it may have changed recently).
There is egress through the deck doors in this Studpack build, so as long as a working smoke/CO detector is in place in the garage, burn through is less of an issue. They've made no mention of wired smoke/CO detectors installed, but I'm sure it's just an oversight (I hope). @@jackknife89actual
5/8x12’ are pretty heavy especially when screwing them up over your head and they flew right through it. Tell Reverse Rad to hold the trigger down continuously while screwing from one to the next. A lot of newbies have trouble. Can’t wait to see the mud video. Great job all around. Looks awesome
thx gregg !!
Watch you're back, Paul! I'm fine doing framing, but I'm more than happy hiring a crew of twentysomethings to wrangle those heavy sheetrock panels. Money well spent as far as I'm concerned. I turn 66 today and I ain't never hanging drywall again.
Back in the days of my youth, I was a pro hanger. I could stiff arm a 5/8" sheet solo on the lid all day. Enjoy your youth folks, I cant do that now.. When I hit 60, all of a sudden those sheets were heavy.
Good idea with the extra insulation but you should pull the paper off whenever both sides are in conditioned space.
all the tips on the screws on the butt joints are so true, I was taught the same thing.
Lucky that Danny and his dad helped you guys. He was awesome in "tough as Nails"
Stud Pack, sitting here with my new T, waiting patiently for tape and mud day, so I can see where I went wrong on my tape job!!!
Boy do I love this channel so informative, educational, sophisticated, amazingly awesome. Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤️
😮 so glad you got free stuff & help!
Danny: Just got 9 screws in, panel is secure!
Rad: What? I'm on 3!
I saw the video pop up on my notifications and saw the drywall and I have never clicked on a video so fast! Though, not as fast as those drywallers! True talent. You are so close to it being a home!
WOW! Drywall Danny and his Dad are amazing!
I am SO excited to see this build really come to life now! Keep up the great work crew!
Time for those guys to design the drill gun for fast install and balance. Another great video
Nice! Really moving along now. Framing, electrical, roofing, plumbing, and drywall, was faster than the foundation work.
Man, I’m feeling the excitement from way up north. It’s looking great. Picked up a few tips for my next drywall job in the spring.
So GOOD to finally see a man route the opening in the direction the bit turns. 🎉❤
Great jams at the 6:00 minute mark, Jordan!! 😄🎸 Outstanding content always. Thank you and the crew for EVERYTHING!!!! 🙏
This is why you hire pros to hang and mud your drywall whenever possible. The Stud Pack guys aren't amateurs, but these drywall hangers blew them away with speed and acuracy.
Also, this shows why it would be a good idea to mount a cantilevered frame on one end of the main house with a block and tackle to raise heavy materials up to the second floor. THe scaffold worked okay on the garage, but the main house is going to be much larger - you need that block and tackle to give you a mechanical advantage when raising plywood, drywall, and other stuff without needing to hump it up stairs or pivot - PIVOT! - around tight corners.
Thank you for your Videos. I learn so much from you guys
I’ve been doing drywall in WA state for going on 25 years. Using 5/8 on the ceiling is great if you want, but 1/2 on 24 o/c trusses is perfectly fine. Every residential company I’ve worked for does it and has no issues with sagging. It’s what was done in my own personal home that’s over 30 years old.
At some point soon you guys should do an episode on what you would do differently when building the house, covering all the key decisions.
For me the spray foam has both huge pros and cons. Wondering if you would reconsider to rockwool next time.
my shoulders hurt watching this - love that so many people help StudPack achieve their dream
Never heard of anyone routing sheetrock. You guys are innovators. I don't like working on Sundays either and won't unless it's unavoidable. I appreciate you guys not wanting to "break the rules" unless you have to. Looking forward to the next video.
I think a house warming party with all the vendors that helped put this build together would be an awesome way to end this build series.
the camera just loves Paul, and so do even though I am a guy. It is so cool that people from a far off state and came to help.
It's great to see another father/son team.
Read having the tool in reverse is something I've done before. Can't ever remember which way is forward and which is reverse. LOL.
Well, the bird heard you talking about birds so it had to fly in to check things out. :P
Oh wow. It looks so different with the drywall up!
Absolutely beautiful.
I am one of those people that is skeptical about the reality TV show character portrayal and there you are proving that Drywall Denny is the real deal.
Looks like you guys had fun doing this job. Super fun watching you!
thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure!
Vibes were on point for this one. Glad to see it all coming together
Code dictates 12” spacing in the field 8” at the borders. Ceilings should be doubled screwed within 3-4 inches very 12” in the field. It’s holding a lot of weight, cheap insurance IMO.
That last segment, in the sheet rocked garage area...finally get a sense of what the finished room will be like.
It hurts me, being much further north, to see you folks jaunting about t-shirts and shorts. We have blowing snow and freezing winds today
So cool that you are bringing in the pro's and they have all been great personalities on camera.
All construction is doable by the DIY'er, you only have to look around on UA-cam to see that. But it takes a trade specific pro to really knock it out efficiently and in a way that won't cause issues down the road. Those are the things the DIY'er don't show you on camera.
Long-time / first-time... You guys all had such a great dynamic. Really enjoyed this one! Nice to see that sometimes even the pro's need to trim a couple times after the first cut :)
Not much fire protection on the garage ceiling. In UK you would need double sheets of fire resistant sheet to meet regs (code)
Single family residential is much more relaxed in the US than commercial or multifamily. The emphasis is having enough to escape the building, and not enough to protect the building. Even a duplex has a thicker wall between units than single family has in a garage. Until recently, garages only required fire seperation, not fire rating to seperate between the garage and interior, unless there is living space above the garage, which needs fire rating. Texas may not have picked up this code change yet. But, 5/8” meets fire rating. Doors only need 20 minute fire rating in the latest code, but they do need an automatic closer that most people remove as soon as the inspector signs off on the building.
