This will make your life extra easy when it comes time to knowing exactly where to put the screws.. Like this!.Drywall can be super heavy in big sheets, especially if you’re trying to bring it up a really narrow stairwell without breaking any light fixtures in the process (#AskMeHowIKnow), but try to keep it in a big sheet if you can because it will be so worth it!.

To help you keep the drywall in place while you’re screwing it into the frame, you can do like Chris did and make yourself some little holder shelf pieces.So smart, right?.Just make sure those pieces are level too!.

Now all you need to do is attach your drywall by screwing it into place along the lines you drew!.You have a wall!.

Now to fill in all your joints and screw holes..

It looks and sounds boring and tedious, but I promise you it can be so simple!I bet it does work, but you probably need a really specific type of can opener and it probably only works on certain shapes of packaging.

And I just don’t know what those are!.The other day I picked up two new knives on sale and they were both in clamshell packaging.

I opened the first one up, the whole time thinking how ridiculous it was that I was using one sharp object (scissors) to try to get at another sharp object (the knife), all while creating a third sharp object (the sharp edges of the plastic).And I could have slipped at any moment because cutting through that hard plastic with my kitchen scissors was definitely a struggle.
