Hanging Drywall

Pictures tell it all.

These sheets of drywall were 4x12 - 5/8ths inch thick.  I don't know how much they weighed but I couldn't lift one sheet and this guy was putting up the sheets by himself, screwing to attach and on stilts.

Kitchen side of the Central Pod.  Spots on picture are the dust that was floating in the air.  Still had some problem explaining what needed drywall and from which side.  Especially since I wasn't sure they understood me.  The Spanish crews have a way of just saying OK then doing whatever they think is the right thing.

This series of shots show them putting up the ceiling drywall when the main guy in the green shirt could not even reach the top beam.

Found out it didn't fit.

Had to shave it while on a very shaky platform.

Both tubs and shower were surrounded with the water resistant board for tile later on.

Finished Product---at least the hanging.

Looking from Kitchen to Dining and back double doors to back porch.

Great Room side of Central Pod--to be covered with stone.

Looking from Great Room into the opening into the Office with front door on right and hallway into Master Bedroom on left.

Pantry showing the closet with the water manifold.  Water heater will be placed on the platform and louvered doors for the closet for air circulation.

The crew did a good job but I noticed one mistake that will have to be corrected before the tape and float.  All the doors and windows will have wood returns and trim so no drywall on the edges.
