What's the most efficient way to knock out drywall? I need to demo a
couple
of walls down to the studs. Thx



Get you some trash cans first thing. And a wheelbarrow.

Make a hole and then make it bigger. Don't do a lot of smashing, as there
are wires and pipes and things in there that you can damage and cause more
work. As the hole gets bigger, it gets easier to see what is holding it on.
Pull nails with a prybar, or take out screws with a screwgun.

Not a clean job, but just TAKE IT SLOW, break up the trash as you go, and
you will be done shortly. A big shop vac helps to keep the dust from going
all over the house.
