Drywall Installation and Repair Tools, Tricks and Techniques
Whether you prefer to call it drywall, wallboard or SHEETROCK® (registered trademark of USG Corporation), there's one thing we can all agree on... it's is one of the greatest inventions since the window! Drywall has saved homeowners thousands of dollars not only in the initial cost of their homes but in the cost of repairs. Over it's eight decades, drywall has evolved from a builder's money-and-timesaver to a do-it-yourselfer's dream! Having great looking walls and ceilings no longer needed a skilled plaster tradesman. Today, most any able-bodied homeowner can tackle a drywall installation or repair project.
Below is our "growing" list of articles on installing, cutting, fixing and whatever-else-you-can-think-of to do with drywall! (We just had a major contributor withdraw his articles, so replacements will be posted shortly. Thanks for your patience!!)
But before we begin, let us bow our heads in a moment of grateful silence for The United States Gypsum Company, the inventor of SHEETROCK® (which is USG's their proprietary name for their brand of drywall). If you're interested, click HERE to read more about USG and their over 85 years of drywall manufacturing... enough drywall to travel to the moon and back 29 times!
