Drywall Progress

The crew has been hard at work hanging the board, taping begins tomorrow.  Hanging drywall in a 2000 sq ft house, plus basement, is a really tough job.  It works a lot of muscles that don't tend to be used, especially when doing the ceiling.  Having 10 ft ceilings makes it that much harder to do.  A good drywall crew can hang a tremendous amount of board in a single day, but it wears out their bodies from the repetitive motions.

To do the two houses we have under construction has been about a nine day job for both.  The taping will be orchestrated a little differently, because of drying time.  The crew I am using is really fast when it comes to taping.  I have always found taping to really transform the interior of a house from a hodge podge of small pieces into a continuous product.

The board is hung and the debris tossed in the bin. I have a bin in the back jus for drywall scrap.  There isn't a better way to deal with it.  A bin containing mostly drywall is actually recycled.  This is a much better way to deal with the waste than dumping in the landfill, plus the tipping fee is lower on clean drywall.
