[cch62]

wow, this was painful to watch. You clearly do not know much about cutting drywall...

[donnie963]

Great video's Bob. Usually I dont read the comments due to .... well "professionals" like Mr Irich62 there, but your video's are great for us beginners. I was nervous about doing a drywall repair so I wouldnt have to hire Irich62, and now Im ready to go at it. Shouldnt be a problem if I can just remember what you have shown. Thanks again sir.

@irich62 I swear I use to work with you ,if not maybe your father then. Lol You are correct you can measure centers. I would'nt call it dumb to do it a way that is MOST consistent results for the beginner. Do you remember when you were a beginner:? +++Bob

On rips for 8 ft sheets you can make a mark down from the top on both ends and use the t square too... one from each side and they should both meet in the middle. Longer than that the notch and chalk line is perfect. I got away from the knife against the tape measure after getting a nice hard callous on my left index finger. On the circles I measure start edge from side and top only then compass from those marks - no need for the opposing sides. Keyhole saw is a definite tool to have - rasp too

maby the electricians should push there wires in the boxes .....

[vincent0031]

si tu travailles comme ça, tu n'est pas pres de bosser chez moi!

Tu n'as pas honte de faire une telle vidéo? Sais tu que en déchirant le carton, ta plaque n'à plus de résistance?

connais tu la scie cloche?

Ton travail c'est de la MERDE!

i don't see why you would just a whole saw to cut out the holes,

[holtzer1]

for all the "pro" drywallers talking roto-zip this and that. electricians cant stand the roto-zip, simply because pro drywallers nick more wires than anything with those tools. i am in the process of building our own home and doing the drywall myself as well. a hole saw works wonders, cheap, easy and leaves a super clean hole without torn paper edges.

[yourmajesty07]

if the electricians were doing their jobs the wire would be pushed back in the box and it wouldn't get hit with the router. and a "hole saw" does not leave a clean cut! do you know if you bearly overcut a box it has to be taped by the finisher. box and light switch covers dont allow much room for mistakes. Oh, and asking a drywall hanger to use a keyhole saw is like asking a painter to blow the paint on with a straw.

[JHSchwarzkopf]

@holtzer1 - well, an electrician school of thought here...the jct. box is the indicator of how the sparkies & rockers got along. We get mud & wires nicked if we treated the rockers like mud...& we (electricians) can be merciless with buried boxes (which, is very time consuming). all rough in wires needs to be pushed waaaay back into the box to avoid such nicks. Respect goes a looong way on a site, since, we all bleed that same color...

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

@JHSchwarzkopf You are 100% correct mutual respect goes a long way to making a quality final product! +++Bob

I wonder how we - your viewers - can repay you for your extremely useful videos here. In other words, what's the business model behind this venture of yours on Youtube? Do you have a website with Google Adsense so we can buy products and leaving you nice commission as a referrer?

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

I am a youtube partner and there is a mechanism in place where I do get compensated for this work.Due to contract agreements I cannot freely share this information with you rest assured it is there! Thanks from you and many others far outweigh the monetary gain!!!+++Bob

[actionwilliams]

Thanks a lot for the quick tutorial...I haven't done drywall for 12 years, and I've forgotten the little tricks for cutting out lights etc.

Time to go tackle that wall!

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

Wish I had more female viewership .TELL A FRIEND!+++Bob

[9tailedfoxe]

@HomeRemodelWorkshop Hi. I'm female, and I'm finding your videos really helpful. Thanks.

[jabowja]

I am a female thinking of doing my own dry wall you are truly a life saver your video has given me the information I needed thank you so much you are a pro

[rhblakeman]

If you are doing full sheets on a wall or ceiling - male or female - rent a lift! Job goes easier and even for half sheets it's a life saver. My wife and daughter help me on my projects and not only are they saving us from hiring a crew of less than desirables but they are learning that sex is not a limiting factor in doing this type of work - desire to do it right, knowledge and tools are what makes the job better than others regardless of your gender.

[deanprigg]

Most drywall companies will fire a guy for blowing out boxes like that. Everyone these days uses a rotozip exclusively. You usually cut out the hole after you hang it. This is 80s technology.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]

Lol, You are 100% correct! This is the way I did it in the 80's. Just wanted another option to be known for the homeowner/diy'er.Most all professionals would not do it that way,Understandable that most h.o diy do not always own every tool that may be nice to have but not necessarily a must. Thanks for your post+++Bob

[elitecobra0]

all your videos are inspiring and motivating very useful and well constructed you actually show us how to do the job what tools we need and what the results will be thank you bob for taking your time and showing us you have gotten my subscription :)

[donnellgb]

I love the way you demonstrate different approaches to the same task so that the beginner can pick one easiest for her/him.

[HomeRemodelWorkshop]
