1) Delivery
Drywall is so heavy and the sheets are large, so it is a big job to get the drywall into the house. Our drywall came on two big trucks and they used a special type of crane to lift the drywall up and bring it two a window. Then they put it inside the house through the window. Drywall is too heavy for me to lift, so I had to get help for this job.
2) Drywall Installation
Installing the drywall requires screwing it to the walls and ceiling. This is also a hard job that I couldn't do by myself.
We do the ceiling first:
Then we do the walls next:
3) Taping
The taping job is where they fill all the holes, cracks, and joints in the drywall to make it ready for painting. They call it taping because they use a drywall tape to cover the joint between each piece of drywall. After putting the tape on, we did two more coats of drywall mud to make it nice and smooth. After the mud dries, we sand it and then it is ready to paint.
4) Texture
We textured all the ceilings by spraying a type of mud through a hopper. First we paint the ceiling white, then spray the texture. When it is done, it leaves a nice texture that looks nice, and also helps to keep the house quiet.
