DRYWALL FINISHING CONSTRUCTION FLAT BOX SETTINGS | Drywall Finishing Construction Series #19 

That is usually the job of an electrician in Australia, unlike many other countries. During rough-in (cable run) stage an electrician will have stud brackets (these are metal) nailed to timber studs where the locations of the switches, powerpoints, tv, data etc points are. Then after plaster is sanded, before cabinets are in and before paint an electrician will do the 'cut outs'. Because the stud brackets are metal you can easily detect the brackets with a magnet and cut out with a plaster saw. It is also common practice to have the ground sprayed as well and also good to have a plan marked showing locations. A video also ensures nothing has been forgotten to cut out.

Yeah you don't need to do any sanding between costs Memo.

@@Maxkil sick so just what ever gets hand coated gets sanded or scraped between coats. Saves some effort with the brushing down especially if your using quick set mud.

@@Maxkil i dont understand why theres a gap at the top of walls? why wouldnt drywallers start from top and have gap at bottom

@@ladyluck3096 it’s because the property will be having Cornice/Coving fitted, the gap will be covered.👍🏼

No always frame, then roof sheeting and external cladding, then drywall. same in AUS as most places in the world I would imagine.

Should be 3 in field. At least that's what we do here. I only 2 in the ceilings a 1 here n there in the wall boards. Odd

@Josh_D01 we have 2 in the field and 3 glue daubs, you could essentially remove the screws and the glue would hold it

You know someone who can translate into French Flo.... Must be due for over of your videos soon!!

I use the 18 inch perfect trowel to wipe the excess after running 10 inch and 12 inch boxes. It flattens the joints and makes the mud slump a bit smaller. Less sanding and finish is a lot flatter. Hope that helps

@@Tchelious I'll try your approach next time and see how it goes. We usually hand skim after 12box and use the festool auto-sander most of the time. Cheers mate!

We do 2 of these units a day fully but across 4 units so it dries. We put two coats on first day and then we go to the 2 from the day before and put the last coat on that one and repeat

coving going up

Yeah coving cornice going up. As long as the gap is smaller than the coving cornice size your ok

Just comes like that from the shop

Glue and screws in Australia

i think its regular 60 minute, i cant recall

Sheetrock easy sand 90 for taping (setting compound). Sheetrock easy sand 45 for first coat beads (setting compound). Usg Sheetrock total lite for all other coats(all purpose)

Thanks for the info

They are called flat boxes

Usg sheetrock total lite

Easier for the new guys to learn as walls don't have many cause of glue you learn to do single method and ceiling just have two in each line so it's no real time difference. As a slide method needs three coats because they're super thin coats and this needs just two as we use hotmud for the first and it doesn't shrink back. Just the Aussie way of doing it I guess haven't seen a job here in Australia that's been done using the slide method, only individually or done with a nail spotter/box

@@drywallgangsters you guys just looked like you knew what you were doing just wonder cause that's how we do it the U.S

chance AMOS yeah I see lots of online stuff done your way. I think when you start having more than two in one slide it does make more sense

Kitchen is in front of it
