There are dozens of skills that come together to create a functioning home. Whether you are repairing, remodeling or building a house from scratch, it is likely that you will encounter drywall and masonry tasks at some point. While these jobs aren't necessarily difficult, some do take skilled hands, and drywall and masonry tools make it easier to get the job done. Depending on what project you are working on, different tools are used for different parts of the project.

In most cases, masonry work includes all trades that work with brick or stone. Masonry techniques can be used for both the inside and outside of the home. Inside masonry tasks include things like fireplace surrounds, back splashes and other decorative and functional accents. Outside the home, masonry skills are used to create brick work on the home, decorative trim and even landscaping elements such as rock or brick retaining walls. Regardless of where the masonry work is installed, the same basic masonry tools are used to complete the task. Masons usually carry an assortment of hand trowels, as well as the materials needed to create a mortar mix. Mortar mix uses a blend of powdered cement and sand. This mix is used to not only secure brick or rock to a surface but also to fill in the gaps between each brick or rock. When working with masonry, experienced builders may note that many of the tools used are identical or similar to those used by concrete workers. Many concrete tools are, in fact, interchangeable with masonry tools. This makes sense when you realize that the materials used are also similar. Concrete work, however, is considered an entirely different trade, though similar strengths are exhibited by professionals in both fields.

When it comes to the inside of your home, drywall is another job that needs a skilled hand. Drywall teams hang the sheet rock in your home that covers the framing and provides a foundation for different finishing techniques. Once the drywall is secure, seams must be hidden and sealed with drywall tape and mortar. When properly finished with a drywall trowel, this leaves a smooth surface that can take paint or wallpaper. Many types of quality drywall tape are made with fiberglass and feature an adhesive backing that allows the material to easily stick to the surface of the wall. Drywall projects can take time, but they are tasks that any moderately skilled homeowner can take on as a DIY project. This is an especially good home improvement project when you realize that drywall tools are very inexpensive; the task can be completed with nothing more than a roll of drywall tape, a bucket of drywall mortar and a taping knife that sells for under $10.
