It's kind of hard to believe that we've pretty much used up all those sheets of drywall that were delivered in August, but we did. Which means that today was the day for the next delivery. There's the truck with all of our drywall and some insulation...
Booming the first drywall - this is 1/2" that we will use to enclose the utility room and wood shop bathroom.
Offloading from the boom to their cart...
We had put plastic on the floor and some spacers just to keep the drywall off the slab.
The next to come in was the 5/8" drywall that Jim will use for the auto bay ceiling. (Check out all the snow flurries in the background!)
Jim had again put plastic on the floor and had the guys put this drywall up against the wall. That way he can still use his scaffolding to work.
Insulation for the utility room and bathroom walls...
Then they repositioned the truck up to the upper driveway and boomed the next drywall in - this is all 5/8" drywall for the wood shop walls.
Carrying it in...
Stacking it all up in the wood shop...
Next load...
Stacking it up...
Just this drywall weighs over a ton - good thing that Jim made the floor so strong! These delivery guys had never been to the carriage house before - the older guy worked on commercial steel buildings before and he was amazed at the building. He kept saying how awesome it was and how well built - always nice to hear!
While Jim was waiting in the morning for the delivery, he started working on insulating the hip rafters. Here you can see how Jim attaches his jig to the rafter and then drills ventilation holes.
The view from below...
Then with the baffles made and installed...
After lunch, Jim worked more in the auto bay. He put up angle to be able to fasten the drywall. It really defines the space now!
We didn't get started up in the apartment until after 3:00. Jim had to start a new banjo bucket with water added - that's progress!
The focus area today was the hallway...
Working by the entry...
Doing some ceiling work...
We moved the pieces of stacked drywall over to the finished side of the wall so that Jim could work on this side.
Continuing the long joints around the corner...
More ceiling work...
Jim worked a bit longer after I left and got all the wall/ceiling joints done in the entry - pictures to come!
Jim's been keeping the heater on very low to help keep the plaster from freezing - that's working out really well. We continue to keep heat in the metal shop too to prevent any water issues. It's been cold and windy (and snowy today!) but Jim is managing to keep the utility and bathroom areas in the 40s, which is wonderful.
