You will see me use a drywall lift to install a 4’x12′ sheet of drywall on the ceiling. This drywall lift allows me to make this a one person job.

drill to avoid stretching your body too much all the best for the us soccer
team against belgium best regards from germany

Probably the angle, but some of those screws in the centre don’t look like
they’re hitting the joists…. Good video. Thanks.

Laurier, great video, you in CA ?

Can you explain the technique you used to cut the drywall using your tape
measure instead of a t square?

What brand & where did you purchase your drywall hoist? Looking for one
locally and trying to choose between Harbor Freight and Northern Tool. Both
under $200.

Used the exact same American made machine in New Zealand – they are good.

Ceiling drywall install with lift by Laurier Desormeaux

great job!!
Laurier Desormeaux · September 11, 2014 at 10:57 AM
Thank you very much. I hope that what you see here benefits you in some
way. I wish you success.
Laurier Desormeaux · September 11, 2014 at 11:57 AM
You are so right. It does take a lot of practice to move that quickly. Take
your time and do it right.

Laurier: A few days ago I asked you a question about the specific make of
plaster of Paris you use. Your answer wasn’t satisfactory but I’m pretty
sure the communication difficulty was my fault. Sorry about that. I’m
thinking of going for Sheetrock setting type 90 minute compound because I
kind of get the impression that it’ll be kind of similar to the plaster
that I used to use in Scotland. I’d be interested to hear any thoughts you
might have regarding sheetrock 90 if you’ve previously used it

I never glue my drywall to the studs. Screws are plenty good to do the job.
Laurier Desormeaux · September 11, 2014 at 1:16 PM
Your very welcome. I wish you success in your drywall installing project.
Chris Davis · September 11, 2014 at 1:50 PM
Awesome info thanks! I will give it a shot!
Laurier Desormeaux · September 11, 2014 at 2:41 PM
The mesh tape is good in that the mud passes right trough it. You don’t get
bubbles like you do when you don’t have enough mud behind paper tape to
glue it down.It’s up to you to use what is comfortable for you.
Thomas Walker · September 11, 2014 at 3:07 PM
Thank You Laurier! I liked the extra tip in holding the screw gun more in
the palm of the hand w/. pressure and balance directed towards the screw w/
you drive it in place to keep screw straight . Can you use the 11′ lift on
a cathedral type ceiling that that goes from apx. 11′ center of room to apx
13′ on high end. Do you have a video on drywall for cathedral ceiling’s ?
What brand/& apx. cost of lift do you use ? thank you in advance
Laurier Desormeaux · September 11, 2014 at 3:14 PM
You tend to carve a groove into the existing corner? It is tricky but I
don’t know how to make it easier for you. Try to square up the 4″ knife to
the opposite wall where the overflow happens. I hope that everything I put
on you-tube helps you in some way.
Laurier Desormeaux · September 11, 2014 at 4:12 PM
I would like to see a video of what is causing you problems. Hopefully I
can try to find an easier way for you to do your inside corners.
Laurier Desormeaux · September 11, 2014 at 4:18 PM
Thank you. I like hearing from other pro tapers. I do have a mixer and I do
at times mix my mud or like you said take a 4″ knife and mix the top 2″ or
3 “. Feel free to address questions or concerns of any of my subscribers. I
welcome advice and input of other professional tapers if they are being
helpful.
jingscrivvensbob · September 11, 2014 at 5:06 PM
Thanks Laurier. You’re definitely top notch at imparting your knowledge as
a drywall guy to others and you obviously do a darned good and honest job
for those who hire your services. Your videos are hugely useful to me
personally because I’m trying to get my mind around North American methods
and yours are by far the best on YouTube. I expect to be recommending your
YouTube videos to many potential clients who try to hire me to teach them
how to tape and mud.
Laurier Desormeaux · September 11, 2014 at 5:41 PM
Thank you Thomas. I’m sorry that I don’t have a video on installing drywall
on a cathedral ceiling. I don’t even know if it works with the drywall
lift. My lift only cost me $125 with the taxes.
