Measuring to Install Drywall

" How are you doing? My name is Noah Richardson from Elliot Construction. What I do is I measure from the bottom up to the height of the ceiling you want to go to basically.

You cut your sheet rock to the length that you want it, and since the studs are already 18 apart from each other, you screw your holes there. You’re going to have one stud in the corner, and 18 would be about here and then another stud. Basically like how you see the screws in the walls. You screw one in the corner. From the bottom up you can do about two holes from the bottom. Two holes up, two holes up. Same thing like this from the bottom.
