Hello,
After finding out that I officially suck at taping on a 12x12 room, I've decded to get smart and see about finding someone who won't get half the mud on the ground to do the bulk of my house. . . and who's faster. You know. . . machines and all. Or, if you're good at it and have time to show a moron how to do it right, lemme know. Otherwise, any leads to a good drywall contractor would be appreciated. -'Chung ok, I don't suck as bad as I think, but I'm SLOW. |

I just had my new house drywalled.
Dry wall dudes are amazing! They used 5x12 sheets of 5/8 rock wherever they could. They would carry them around with one person! My house took 20,000 sq ft of drywall. (high cielings) They hung it in 4 days! They finished it smooth, which took three extra weeks. They used 150 gallons of primer to to coat the walls. I had no idea smooth wall was so much more work. It is also a pain in the ass to paint well. It really is a pleasure to watch people that are good at there trade work. Back to painting, George |
