What it concludes

• Using a corded drill for $100 or less and reselling it is worth the time and energy.
• A fixed-blade knife is better for cutting drywall than big or small folding utility knives.
• Use blue chalk in the chalk line to avoid staining the drywall.
• Use coarse thread screws for wood and fine thread screws for steel.
• Measure from the same two reference points rather than changing measurement sources to keep lines aligned.
• Use screw spacing of roughly 12 inches for walls and perimeter.
