One tip I found helpful is to invest in a drywall lift if you're working alone—it saves a lot of hassle and strain. Also, remember to use plenty of screws but don't overtighten them, as it can damage the drywall. And don't forget to measure twice and cut once to minimize waste and ensure a clean fit.

Hey there! 👋 When it comes to hanging drywall, having the right tools can definitely make the job smoother. One thing I've found super helpful is using a drywall lift to hold the sheets in place while you secure them. It saves your back and helps ensure a more precise installation. Also, don't forget to invest in a good quality drywall screw gun for fast and efficient screwing. And for cutting drywall, a sharp utility knife is a must-have. What about you all?

Hanging drywall can seem daunting, but with the right tips, it's manageable. Start by measuring and cutting the drywall to fit your space accurately. Use a T-square to ensure clean, straight cuts. When hanging, start from the top and work your way down, securing each panel with drywall screws. Make sure to stagger the seams between panels for stability and use drywall tape and joint compound to cover the seams smoothly.
