Sheetrock delivery, hanging, taping, texture, with Painting on
sub page
  The
sheetrock was one section of work I was convinced I should hire out.
After having 4 companies come bid for the job I nearly changed my mind.
As usual, the job costs seemed outrageous. Never the less, everyone
around me encouraged me to have this part done by pros. So it was. |
  I
was most impressed with the delivery of the sheetrock. The truck/boom
driver was simply awesome at his job. If you look at some of these
pictures you can see how he swung the boom up and over the elec line,
between 2 trees and down the side of the house to a spot workers could grab
the sheets. In another pic he had the boom going around a tree up in
through the 2nd floor window - with 12' sheets !!!
Although the job was delayed several times - when the
workers were working, they were faster than you can imagine. |
  I
did not have allot of sheetrock work in this house. No rock in the
living room except the stairway wall, no ceiling rock in the living room or
entry, and none in the guest room ceiling. That, and No sheetrock on
any interior cedar Sing Log wall. Probably half the amount of coverage
a regular house would have done. Nevertheless this little sheetrock
job cost about $8,000.00 |
  During
delivery Greg, Dave and I masked of "everything" throughout the house except
the sheetrock surface areas. The sheetrock crew would screw in all the
sheetrock, then the tapers would come in and tape all the seams, holes, etc.
Then the finish sprayer would come in and spray a fine sealer coat followed
by a very low texture coat on top of that. The spraying was incredibly
messy and the masking job was critical. I didn't get many pics of the
masked of house because they wouldn't come out visible or recognizable with
all the plastic covering everything. The Masking job alone took
3 of us 2 days to get done!!! |
