Oh, you almost caught me. I'm getting ready to tear down this wall. You know, it's kind of fun
0:10
to do demolition work, but I want to show you a rookie mistake that you might make if you're
0:15
trying to tear into some drywall like this. It's really, really simple. Let me show you what it is
0:20
So, I'm only taking out this wall, and I don't want to damage this wall right here. Well, even
0:29
though I can't see it, I'm reasonably confident that the drywall finisher used paper tape
0:34
maybe even mesh tape, and he taped this corner so it looks beautiful. If I start tearing into
0:39
this wall and start pulling pieces of drywall out, I'm actually going to pull that tape
0:45
here and really pretty much kind of mess up this wall. So there's no need to do that
0:49
All you have to do is take a razor knife like this and simply cut through that paper all
0:57
the way down the seam so that when you actually take this piece of drywall out, it's not going
1:06
to damage this wall at all. It's really that simple. So who would ever think that you'd
1:10
need a little demo tip like that? That's what you get at AskTheBuilder.com. Thanks very
1:14
much. If you want to discover more home improvement tips, go to AskTheBuilder.com
