Been in the game for 19 years.
This video has seriously impressed me on many levels.
Clean, tight unit/team, efficiency, explanation/teaching, it was beautiful to watch.

Finally a good YouTube channel that actually shows you how a jobsite runs and shows an actual worker doing his thing and not stop so much for the camera. Great great great work with the camera skills and from the crew. Thank you again I'll be showing this to all of our workers to learn even the basics. Fast but right not fast and sloppy

The hardest work is the ceiling work. Looking up all day is a neck breaker so I hope you ground guys alternate with him. We always used a bazooka and all the AMES TAPING TOOLS, which has been around for at least 70 years or so. We also always let the tape dry for 24 hours and used a 7” box to fill, a 10” mud box to finish, and a 12” to skim it perfectly smooth and flat. We ran a roller and glazer in the angles for perfectly square angles and boxed them with a 3” Angle head. The AMES tools have the same specs they have had for many decades, because they are damn near perfect they way they are. You guy do a great job, and clean work is key to speed. A sloppy guy going balls out can screw up a ton of great drywall hanging, creating a ton of unnecessary wasted labor. Great job!

Like a well oiled machine. An orchestra. Something like this is rare now-a-days. Bravo!

Me: I'm still standing in Home Depot trying to figure out which mud to buy... and these guys are already done before I get to the check out.

[thomasbowden]

Man what a team, hardly any chit chat, everyone keeping their heads down and playing their part, work hard play hard good job lads

[bkoejyg]

Remember guys, these guys do this at least five days a week, every week !!
That's why they make it look so easy and effortless, what a crew !
Fast and flawless .
Awesome video on how the professionals do IT !!

[sean_heisler]

These guys do more work in five minutes than I do in a whole day.

[hvser]

This is the definition of work smarter not harder, awesome teamwork

[larryhaug]

As a painter, i wish all finishers did work like this. It would make my job a helluva lot easier

I'm 71 and been doing drywall since I was 13, not full time like these pro's but I still pick up things watching these craftsman. I have a funny story. When I was in my 20's I had a banjo box and had it sitting on a bucket in front of the garage. I went to lunch and when I came back the owner said he owes me a new one. He had a rat problem and was waiting with his shot gun. He saw a rat dart into the garage. He shot, missed the rat but did a number on the Banjo box. I should of saved it.

Have to say it, that guy is a master with the 6inch. The way he glides it over those recessed joints without spillage. Guru

I’d love to organize the Taping Olympics and watch the best crews from different countries compete against each other. Well done boys! G’day from Canada 🇨🇦

[Fiestas]

You guys work quite well together, one thing that stands out in your taping is how clean you guys work without a mess.

[RookLuke]

I remember years ago when I started this craft where I would have more of the mud on my clothes than the wall 🤣

[ScottyLo]

Much respect for you and your crew. You work like a well oiled machine. Everyone knows their job and there’s no waisted time.

[mjar]

Yes! I just watched all 12+ minutes of this video in complete amazement because I know this isn't as easy as they make it look. I'd still be in my first pass on my first wall trying to figure out how to get the first coat even and these guys have the entire house done in 1 hour. Bravo fellas!

[AlbertPecoraro]

I've watched several "How to ..." videos on different aspects of drywall installation, taping, finishing, etc. This video is more of a "How DO they do it!" and is very instructional on many levels. I've already stopped the video about 3 times to replay certain sections to really understand the nuances in the techniques and how the individual components all come together in perfect orchestration. Kudos gentlemen!

I'm just a DIY, but I tape like this with a tape box also. The real key, which you mention is to use a setting mud for the bed and first cover coat. Doing it this way, you can be completely done in one day with all the taping, dry overnight for the top coat which can be all purpose or easy sand setting and then sand the next day. If done correctly, there is very little sanding at all. For sure it helps to have at least two people with one person on the tape box and then the other behind, but you can do it one person, but a lot harder, especially with setting compound. I spent one summer sanding drywall for a commercial outfit (neighbor owned). You really come to appreciate not over filling in a major way, especially if you have to be sanding above your head on 9-12' walls when it is 90+ F.

Must be nice to be able to find that many guys that know what there doing let alone find anybody that wants to work. I have been doing whole houses alone for two years now. Sometimes with a grunt worker.
