" The custom end of of the house building today nobody puts up drywall with taped seams everybody puts up. Blue board this is US gypsum product and they always receives a skim coat of plaster that's the higher end job. The rich can I interrupt you yeah now. The the do it yourself for trying to do this is gonna have a hard time left a couple of helpers right here yeah we need. One person at least maybe two for the high stuff. And you're using are you before by ten sheets for a big job like this no use for about twelve stand we cut them. The lines the less seams is naturally better flex kind of fasteners view is we'll tell. Of sheetrock screws. We use. Inch and a quarter just inch and a quarter. And the installation of them it is not at random you have to put them in in a grid kind of got twelve inches of twelve inches apart. And then in the centers same deal yeah twelve inches in the Senate it's what you like to do is -- fasten the edges for us. The perimeter and then work your way down. Into the middle in towards the middle right. Now rich. This is always the difficult part when you're working on a cathedral ceiling and you gotta get that angle any tricks."
" Well what we like to do is. We get the overall length and then the over Carl what about. And then after we distinguish that. We try to find a point where -- angle begins and finishes. And usually it was -- rewarded and she didn't think -- T square yeah and rested on the board and slide it over and that will be your 48 inch piece where the angle. Stops right here -- here's less than it's a little less so what we those little triangle over here right we take a piece of scrap. That we have left over and we cut it down to our -- So we measure our width which was 33 and a half and you just put that in -- slide it over to our angle starts. And that's how we get our measurement. Folks. Now Joe knows we need. Piece overall in length -- it. 19 and a half inches should you want to break it on the middle of a stud we right to break it on the middle -- blessings possible she. So on the sheet down below. He's measuring. The 19 and a half inches that shut your overall length from right to left he's got -- 19 and then he's going to go with the overall width she. When rose 33 and a half interest."
" So that goes all the way across."
" When you've had enough practice you can make your cuts like also there are 49 and three eighths of an inch and that will be -- next -- that's the point that goes down to the bottoms. Chalk line. I hope because it -- sentence."
" Now he's just kind of run the the blade across the edges to get kind of like a back cut right on the surface because what happens if you give birth on the board. From the depend upon how how good the you know. New stuff is good because. This is one of the best Alex pretty darn good doesn't it. Perfect."
