Removing drywall is a lot safer, easier and cleaner with these drywall removal tips. So hold on to that hammer for a second and watch this video before you make a mess.
I get a lot of customers who need drywall repairs due to old leaks, and this would be very helpful for them. Love that insulation you were doing in the background at the end of the video - will check it out! Ty. Sharing with my followers.
Omg; From the bottom of my heart I thank you so much for this video- I never thought I’d find myself at 55: divorced, alone, scared to death, overwhelmed, trying with all my heart and might to transform this outdated, poorly designed condo into a functional and flowing space I will now call home. My specialty is designing on a dime, which usually requires some fiddling to get things to work out just right. I’m in way over my head: I just couldn’t say no to five Arhaus 63” industrial, brand new cabinets I ran a crossed at our local ReStore. Of course one thing leads to another and my entire 1300 square-foot home with the exception of my bedroom has been taken over with these projects. I had no idea how to take down that wall -been staring at it for a couple of days now, thank you Cory -I truly mean from the bottom of my heart… You explained So simply and calmly and neatly your process, and made me believe that even this featherweight queen weighing in at 110 pounds soaking wet, may tackle that wall! Thanks for the info and for the confidence have a good night!
Thank you for the tips! I was about to remove some drywall but decided to see what I could find on RU-vid first - this was helpful. And you are such a cutie too, I'm sure that I'll be stalking your vids for more helpful hints. Now, off to demo - wish me luck! (;
Nice vid, Corey. I was trying to figure out how to find the seam to start to pull it off in beautiful sections, but it looks like I'm over-thinking it; just get a hole through and then you'll find the seam eventually.
@DarylV1986 Yeah, drywall is nailed or screwed to the wall. This wall has nails and glue holding the drywall. But the drywall is just 2 sheets of paper with gypsum cement in the middle. If you pull hard enough, you can rip through the paper without breaking the drywall. It really cuts down on the mess.
Taking down drywall in my basement from previous owner. Glad I watched this before smashing it to bits. Cory the insulation guy is wise and cute too. :)
Corey, this is the first video that I have watched from you, and I must say that it was very well put together, and you seem to know what you're talking about. Preparing to take down 3 very small walls in the next day or two. Thanks for the good information.
agreed...those knifes are very sharp, and i too like to keep my body out of the way when cutting...so I like to jump into the air just before i swipe my hand to cut. that way my arm is swinging to cut the product, but my body is safely in the air...away from the knife. stay safe!!
Dude that was c- at best 1) You need a better quality mask for dry wall 2) You can spray the dry wall down with water where you plan to cut or break it 3) You a new blade and just cut the dry wall like that with the safety 4) Position a fan to suck dust out of the house in the window 5) Chuck it outside and take the hose to it, the bag it.
Should have included an asbestos warning. Some textured finishes include asbestos for instance Artex is Asbestos Reinforced TEXture. Also I wouldn’t rely on that dust mask even if I knew asbestos wasn’t involved.
A cute guy that knows how to use a tool... Why is there no ring on that finger? ;) Side note: Thank you for a fast-paced, comprehensible video it was very easy to follow and more than anything telling us what tools were used was very helpful!
Corey, Do you know if that dust left behind, can harm a person's lungs? Should the contractor be responsible for cleaning up the floors and furniture that is in the room?
Great video! Only suggestion I have which I have found works well is removing baseboard nails with locking vise grip pliers. They have a curved perimeter near the head that gives great leverage and will allow you to easily remove the nails. Once you get used to it you don't even need to lock the pliers to remove unless it is a stubborn nail. Sometime the nail may break and locking on it close to the wood will allow you to remove it. Made me cringe when I saw you use wire cutters to remove that nail. Great job and thanks
