A Little Know How Goes A Long WayI remember my first encounter with drywall installation.I was 17 years old and had just started to work on a basement renovation with my future father in law. We had been framing and cutting plywood in the basement, when he said he had to leave to pick up some materials. He said to drywall the storage area under the stairs. I was more than confident in my abilities when he left. I finished with the plywood and started my drywall application. It was about 1/2 an hour later when he returned to a basement filled with a thick white dust in the air. Thats when I was informed (in no uncertain terms) your not supposed to cut drywall with a circular saw. Research and Know the process before you start! Ceiling Drywall Installation
