I would have liked to see the ceiling go permanently, to give height to the room and so the room has a vaulted ceiling look - I'd love to have it done in my house.
Hi mate, my technique is to get into the roof space and walk on the trusses and slowly pop all the screw fixings with applying pressure with my foot force down. I find this way is faster an easier and ceiling comes down in nearly one piece and dust free falling on me.... sssshhhhhh my top secret.
Lol. Yeah, I've never done it like that but I'm sure it's very effective, you could even add that you can do it with no hands.. I might try that one day. Most of the time the roof space can be really narrow so could get difficult
Started a job as a mold technician while attending college. Removing ceilings suck especially in old houses where it's a concrete like material versus drywall. The ceiling has wiring connecting to hold the pieces together. Just watching this video to see if there were tools to use that are better than having to try and bust through the wall with strength. This looks a bit easier than the material we're currently dealing with.
@@DiffEQ what part of when he was in college did you not understand and therefore young and inexperienced but you just had to be an a****** to him, right?
I notice there is no insulation. I did just a small area in the bedroom and got that loose stuff everywhere! Where do you live that you don't need insulation either due to heat or the cold?
Well I guess you've long finished the job now, but that's not drywall, that's a plastering technique. It's like lath-and-plaster except using wire instead of laths. The wire is put up then wet plaster mix is spread over it. Drywall is gets its name because it's pre-manufactured so the installation is dry plastering. I've never had to remove the stuff, but I've heard it's hard work. Also potentially hazardous because it sometimes has asbestos fibre added to the plaster mix.
Once the drywall ceiling is gone I would actually extend my walls all the way up to would actually extend my walls all the way up through the attic. The trusses would be left exposed and sanded and I'd paint the exposed attic black for an industrial look once HVAC and electrical passes inspection
I remember standing in front of the windows, and doors to stop a huge sheet of drywall from damaging anything. Worked in emerald isle when Florence hit, and I can say, best job ever. Saying as a temp.
Good Video, but I don't understand why you wouldn't wear eye protection when ripping out the ceiling, you're literally looking up most of the time, leaving your eyes vulnerable to anything coming down that ceiling.
you can adjust the depth to a mm before it hits the timber. and won't hit. occasionally you run into screws but the blades are very strong I've never broke one
Hello, I was told my ceiling has mineral wood, but doesn't have antivibration holders so I keep hearing footsteps. I need to remove the drywall, apply VCL membrane, the antivibration holders and then apply the mineral wool and dry wall again. My question is, do I need to remove all furniture from the house or can it be done while covering everything from dust and other remains?
Hilti some of the more expensive tools. I just need to cut a bit of extra drywall out of my ceiling where the water pipe leak flooded the hole and square it off so I can put in new drywall panels.
When placing plastic for a vacuum seal before demolition of the ceiling , do u place plastic over the return on the vents for the heating and cooling as well cause of the dust going into the A/C ?
Any tips for cleaning up all the dust afterwards? I just had a repair done to my ceiling and the whole room is coated in brown dust along with everything in it 😢
@@Lextragon To be on the safe side I would move everything in the room out just to ensure nothing gets damaged. I learned my lesson the hard way and had to throw some things out
That's the easy way? I don't stand on anything.Any time I can work from the floor it's easier. I use a hoe or a shovel and sometimes a galf hook. That way I'm not near it.Ni need to cut that edge if it's gonna rip the tape off.I know it's fun.44 years of drywall I imagine I have done hundreds of jobs like that. Right now I'm tearing out the ceilings in a big house with 8',10' and 12' ceilings with twice blown insulation on top of it with crown molding so it has to be cut away from the molding. Yeah,lotsa fun.
Id say putting down tarp or something to roll up and throw out or reuse by putting up poly sections and filling it in. New insulation would be easier Id think though in batts
