Hanging Wallboard | |
Consider the arduous job of handling cumbersome 4-by-8-foot drywall panels, which are heavy and difficult to transport. Don't forget the DIY damage factor -- if you loose your grip and set one down on its corners, the edge gets bruised and needs repair work. One exception: If you're remodeling and have a small job, you'll probably have to do it yourself because you'll have trouble finding a willing pro. In that case, rent a drywall screw gun and fasten the panel with drywall screws; they pull it tight against the studs, which is much better than nails. |
