Drywall Installation

Measurement and Planning:

• Measure the walls and ceilings to determine the amount of drywall needed.
• Plan the layout of the drywall sheets, considering factors like the placement of doors, windows, and electrical outlets.

Preparing the Space:

• Clear the area where the drywall will be installed.
• Ensure the framing is in good condition and make any necessary repairs or adjustments.

Cutting Drywall:

• Use a utility knife to score the front side of the drywall along the measured lines.
• Snap the drywall along the scored line and then cut through the paper backing with the utility knife.
• Cut openings for doors, windows, and electrical outlets as needed.

Hanging Drywall:

• Start at one corner of the room and position the first sheet of drywall against the wall or ceiling, leaving a small gap at the bottom.
• Secure the drywall to the framing with drywall screws, spaced about 12 inches apart along the studs or joists.
• Continue hanging drywall sheets, staggering the joints between sheets to create a stronger wall.
