Thank you so much for posting this video. I am working on a similar situation and the knowledge you have provided has totally given me the confidence that I can fix the water damage I have. Again...Thank you for taking the time to post this video.
I have a hole at least that big due to a contractor almost falling through and am now waiting for them to fix it. I wondered about how it's done and you've made it look easy enough, thank you for that, but these guys have to deal with fiber glass plus blown in insulation, which is going to just create a huge mess, which I've already cleaned up from the start. Not looking forward to it getting fixed but it has to be done. I hope they do as good a job as you have.
I like the support you used to lift it up there and secure it. Say the builders at my house struggle. It was very long dry wall. Needed 3 people. I ha e some spare dry wall and was looking to do it myself although idk what I'm getting g myself into and I don't know where to start as your video already missed this part.
I'm lazy. Cutting out the existing drywall with a drywall knife or saw takes a lot of time. I use my dewalt 20V 4 1/2" circular saw, with vacuum attached, to cut a quick, clean and straight line. For a small job, I use the dust bag on the vacuum. Also, there is a drywall screw bit, for your impact driver, that will set the screw the correct depth without over driving. it is a Drywall Screw Setter PH2 Bit.
This was a good beginning video, but then you glossed over and completely skipped how to finish the ceiling. You mention "mudding," but don't show or explain what that is or how to do it. I really appreciate your attention to detail in the parts you did go into, though! I have an entire panel in my garage that I need to replace, but don't know how to "connect" the pieces. It looks like there's some kind of tape, but I don't know what it is... Hence my resorting to RU-vid videos to try to learn. I'd love your feedback or any references to other videos that might help!
