What happens here

Drywall sheets are measured and cut to fit the framed structure. For the vaulted ceiling, irregular angles are cut into the drywall panels to match the roofline. A technique of pre-setting a screw slightly into the framing allows for easier one-person installation of large drywall pieces. The drywall is secured using drywall screws, ensuring full coverage of the new structure, except for areas that will be hidden by the fireplace or interior sections that will be shiplapped later.

Goal: Measure, cut, and attach drywall panels to the newly framed structure. Special attention is paid to cutting irregular shapes for the vaulted ceiling and recessed areas.

right so i'm going to start hanging some drywall i want to do as big of a piece on top as i can and a little trick that i learned is by installing a screw that's kind of sticking out a little bit you can climb up there set it on there and start securing the drywall screws from the top without having it fall down trust me been there done that don't want to be there again when it comes to cutting drywall make your line use your utility knife and what you're going to do is you're going to scorch the top once you get a client all the way across this is the fun part bring it over to the edge snap it down and then cut all the way through cutting that brown paper from the back and there we have it a clean perfect cut [Music] this must have been the biggest head scratcher i've ever had to cut out drywall all weird angles nothing straight here so we'll see what this thing looks like i highly doubt on the first try it's gonna work i might have to do some adjustments it actually was the right measurements this is ridiculous all right let's get those tools out and secure this piece [Music] finally starting to look like something drywall is all done i'm not going to do the inside because there's no point for it we are going to do shiplap surprise
