Building a Bonus Room + SOUNDPROOF WALLS || Concrete Slab House Reno (Ep.11)

What happens here

Drywall sheets are attached to the framed wall. The video demonstrates scoring a drywall sheet with a utility knife, snapping it along the score line, and then cutting the backing. A drywall screw gun is used to rapidly drive specialized drywall screws into the studs, ensuring the screws are recessed just below the surface without tearing the paper. Sheets are installed to avoid seams aligning directly above or below door openings, minimizing potential for future cracks. An existing 'fake window' archway is also covered with drywall.

[Music] all right obviously we have it overhanging here's a quick and easy way i clean not to mention how to cut drywall come on all right take two now here we go let's do this nice quick sear and on this side you're gonna cut the film that's on this side real quick and there you go a nice perfect cut [Music] so one of the things tyler caught us here is uh making sure that we have a seam that doesn't line up in the middle of this doorway or at the beginning of the door why because when the doors are open and closed that creates a flexing point and drywall could break so uh what he's recommending is extending the sheet across it which makes total sense making sure that we don't have a funky doorway cracking all the time just a reminder for a couple of tools you really don't need a lot in fact i'm using this as a drywall screw gun what it does is you press the button and then it doesn't drive it until you press it into the wall and it has a stop gauge so you don't over drive them it's just a speed thing you could totally do some of the regular drill but you have to use the special drywall screws uh this is a thermofiber fire and sound guard um what's cool about it is it's a fire resistant up to 2000 degrees that's nice but we don't need it for that excellent sound performance that's exactly what we need it for and it's 70 recycled content so you know why not be you know a little green the cool thing about this also is it's mineral wool so we don't have to deal with any kind of fiberglass junk now that the drywall is up over there we have to make sure we cover this window which i don't know why back in the day they would have these fake windows but nonetheless we're gonna make this own room so to save you all the hassles because the same stuff let's do demo and just like that covered her up
