What is the best way to remove sheetrock from the walls and the ceiling? We are going to gut a house and start over moving a few walls and adding about a 1,000 sq ft. to the house. Is there a better fast way than just using a hammer and having a thousand small pcs. to pick up?

I can't speak to the best way to remove but I can tell you to cover everything else remaining. Floors, counters, cabinets, etc. Drywall dust gets airborne and after it falls the humidity makes it stick like glue. I'm from the flooring industry and had many calls from frustrated consumers trying to remove the white haze it creates.

If you want to keep the dust down and get the ceiling on the floor use a garden hose in the attic. It will flatten the insulation and drop everything to the floor.
Give it a good soak and it will come down on it's own.
edit: This is a serious post.
I learned this method when me and a buddy stripped his roof off his house for a reroof and a storm blew the tarps off the house overnight. He had wall to wall ceiling.Last edited by GA Bowhunter; 08-15-2019, 07:11 PM.
