Drywallers Check List: Understanding Home Building 101:
The Essential Elements to Success with Home Building and Remodeling
Building Class: Drywall

Drywalling is a skill. When remodeling our basement I hated drywalling because I didn't cut the sheets a little bit short where the next sheet would cover the corner anyway. I helped out a buddy drywalling and it went a lot better. I think by the next time I drywall I may be getting close to being a pro!

Use Screws. Do it right. A friend of mine wanted to use nails. They are a pain and break the paper. Use Screws, screw using nails and if ya do use em on the seams and double em up making sure there is glue behind the drywall.

The drywall screw guns the drywallers use are cool.

Don't go too deep and stop pushing the screw in at the right depth. The drywallers screw guns are Loud and noisy but fast and better than nails - Good points.
