The New Work Shop #3: Next stop is to pick up 21 sheets of 5/8" sheet rock. (Photos so far)

Ouch. Do not envy for a moment your task of getting the drywall up on that ceiling.

Courage!

That will be an awesome shop space when it’s done, and you’ll get there!!!

Dan there is a trick to getting the drywall up. I told my son, I would hold the sheets up while he screwed. He said “DEAL” and I built the dead mans. His arm was about to fall off.

Sandhill – it’s looking really good.I wish my shop were as “Messy” as yours. Please keep us posted.

-- A year into redoing my home - a year to go.

I use to use a dead man myself, S000 glad I have a sheet rock lift. :)

Does the lift have a laser guidance system to wiggle through your shop equipment?..lol

All the insulation is up and the equipment moved to one side. I hope I can get the rock up before I go to AFSM for a Marquetry class with Patrick Edwards in Feb.

Fiberglass insulation….one of my least favorite things in the world…...
But it looks like your about ready to hot & heavy on the ceiling…have fun!

It went up fast and easy with no itching yeah I am off to Baltimore Tue and back on sat so that gives me a little more then 3 weeks before I leave for San Diego for a week when I get back I should finish the painting then set it all back up. I may change the lay out some.
Thank everyone

GaryL, I thought I hated fiberglass insulation until I recently replaced the K&T wiring with Romex in blown-in cellulose. Gimme those itchy old rolls any day.

Getting the ceiling up always brightens everything up. Looks great.
Now keep the mud flying…lol
Ohh….then the sanding…almost as much fun as the insulation.

Amen to that, I have about half left to tape. I did this so many times I don’t need to sand after the last coat just a sponge and once the paints on you never see a line.
