Last week, on Wednesday the insulation was finished in the morning and inspected later in the day. On Thursday the drywall crew came on site and staged 550 pieces of 4x12 drywall and other various materials throughout the house. On Friday twelve wiry guys returned at 8:00 AM and by 5:30 PM they had totally dry walled the house, filled up a 20 yard dumpster with scraps, and swept up the place. It was absolutely incredible to see these guys in action. No s—t, I watched one guy single handedly lift a 4x12 sheet of gypsum, slide it up the wall to the nine foot ceiling plane, tack it in place with a couple of nails, then screw it in a matter of minutes! Do the arithmetic, that’s 26,400 sq. ft of drywall installed in 114 man hours. On average each guy would’ve put up 46 sheets that’s roughly five sheets per hour or one very twelve minutes.
Of course the finishing will take a little while longer but at the rate we’re moving painting and other interior finishing isn’t too far away.
