I initially thought this video was all about drywall installation but it covers also covers electrical and plumbing. Since it had so many subjects it seems as if they just touched on these areas. As with most of the videos if you get them on the weekend you can pretty much get all of the information you need from them and really wouldn't need a full week. All in all a nice cursory introduction to the series.

Very basic and high-level information with a *few* tips and tricks thrown in for good measure.

There is also conflicting information out there regarding drywall spacing - in this video, they say joints should be butted-up snug, but others have said leave 1/16th to 1/8th inch - I tend to leave a space between panels, personally.

If you want a *general overview* of the process, this is a decent video - if you're looking for in-depth "how-to" information, you should probably look at some of the other drywall videos available on SmartFlix.
