I'm about to convert my garage into a man-cave and these video tutorials have been fantastic. Thank you and well done. Great tips.

In the UK we don't use adhesive to fix plasterboard and I've never heard of a ceiling falling down because of

I've seen a few vids on ceilings from the UK and North America, but I haven't seen anyone use stud adhesive between the sheets and the joists/studs. Here in Australia it seems to be the recognised best practice.

Thanks for this! I'm having a mare getting any builders around here to quote/turn up to re-do my kitchen ceiling, so after watching this I absolutely think I can do it with a bit of help from my brother.

Problem for me is my ceiling is really high, so will need to hire a raised platform (adds to the difficulty!!)

Any tips on replacing a high ceiling using a platform?

That smoke detector in the background needs the battery replaced. Made me think it was one of mine in the basement lol. You hear it throughout the video but confirmed at 11:40 mark

this movie is good for someone who want to do some DIY. Every dryliner or ceiling fixer will show you how to do it more quickly and professional.

Nice job mate, well presented.  Just the clear facts

thats an impact driver mate, no question about that. i use an auto-feed screw driver, sooo much quicker and easier.

Brilliant vid, top job....although text book procedure would leave a 2mm gap between joining boards. Very useful and informative tho!

[adrkanis]

nice professional work and videos . thank you

[daviddmf]

great demo thanks! How close to the edge should your screws go? 5mm?

Video on point can't wait to do my ceiling 😅

I rarely use a tape measure to replicate a short to medium measurement. It's more accurate to use a length of wood and mark it, or even just dig my fingernail in. Using a tape measure you are building in extra layers of error/approximation. Plus my method (the medievel geometric method) is quicker.

What is the block wall made from that you could drive screws into it so easily?

[rayrooney]

what kind of screws can go into a block wall like that?

[fabinhonz]

thanks mate, tomorow i will star i new job

[VasilyKiryanov]

As to my experience there's always enough a gap between any drywall boards for the plaster to get in between and through.

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but can you tell me which is your preferred plasterers primer for problematic walls. Thinking along the lines of Cementone Stabilising Primer etc there are dozens on the market and not sure if they do what they say on the box. Thanks!
