Video Transcript

The next thing we're going to be talking about is associated with drywall items for installation of sheetrock. A few things that you're going to need is you're going to need your hammer, you're going to need your tape measure, your chalk box and your pencil. Another item that you're going to need is your four foot square to help cut with straight lines. This square is four foot long, two foot at the top, four foot long from the top to the top. It has measurements on it, makes it a little bit more easier for you so that you don't have to go through and measure out on the board if you know that its sixteen inches from the top you can measure down to sixteen, make your mark. This here comes with two diamonds in the middle of it and what the diamonds are for is you set at one end of the sheetrock and at the other end of the sheetrock, you make these marks. You put your chalk line and those there will give you your center points for where your screws walls are two on the outside, three in the field, your sheetrock ceilings are two on the outside, six in the field. Six in the field means two in the center and then two in the center of that.
