Drywalling Underway



The drywallers have started putting the boards on the wall and I just wanted to share a few pics of the activity around here the last few days.
When they finally got the truck up here, it was so windy that several of the 14 foot long drywall boards blew right off the back of the truck and smashed on the ground. Yikes!
It's heavy work moving all that drywall into the house, but the crane they have on the truck makes the work a lot easier. The guys still have to hump it in one board at a time, and even carry it up to the second floor. Better them than me!
Really cool remote-controlled crane. Notice the blowing snow in the background.
These guys earn every penny they get paid! They work very hard.







Upstairs bathroom with odd looking window
 
Drywalling is a messy job as you can see by our upstairs bathroom. The installers are good enough to cover most of our stuff in plastic. Alex, who was home while they were putting up the boards on the first day, said that they went hard at it all day. We saw them driving up when we left for work at 7:20am and they were still there when we got home just before 6pm. They are really good about making sure they don't damage anything in the house while working quickly and efficiently. Even though they are one person short this afternoon (Wednesday), they still got a ton done and we expect all the board to be on the walls by Friday afternoon. Now, the mudding and sanding is a different story!
The upstairs bedroom looks almost odd with actual walls instead of the pink insulation.
