Installing drywall around pipes

[epkjean]

Hello,

Simple question;
How do I easiest get the holes in the right place on a drywall when I'm putting it on a wall with protruding pipes?
Just try to measure it out or are there smarter ways?

Best regards,
J

Place a cross laser in the middle of the hole, then position the disc in front and drill where the cross is.

Ketchup on the pipe end, if it sticks out straight from the wall, is another proven method. Otherwise, measure the coordinates with a tape measure. Start from the edge of the adjacent board and the floor.
