One man delivered 60 sheets of plywood to the attic all by himself. We wanted that drywall delivered before the final window was installed.
Tuesday - We just got the shingles on yesterday - today mother nature delivered some rain to test the roof. A steady much needed rain fell all day.
The rain did not stop the drywall delivery. One fellow delivered 60 sheets of 4 feet by 12 feet drywall. They were too long to go up the steps - but we had planned to take them in through the attic window anyway. We made sure the drywall was American made - not of that tainted China stuff.
The 12 foot long sheets of drywall are both bulky and heavy. But it was surprising how easily the delivery man could control the crane with a remote control. It reminded me of two space capsules docking.
Once inside the window - the sheets were easily slid onto a cart and taken to the middle of the room.
The attic is 10 x 20 x 60 feet. After the liquid foam insulation is sprayed on - the drywall will be hung. The attic will be mostly for storage - we will just put a coat of paint on the 3/4 inch thick plywood floor - the is the extent of the decoration up there. The lighting will be from 4 standard light fixtures with LED bulbs - nothing fancy.
Under the attic eaves are the HVAC system and the multi-media box. All wires - ducts - and pipes are routed through the 18-inch high space between the attic floor and the main floor ceiling. the drywall will mainly hide and protect the hardware.
No work was done today except I took a couple of hours to run the vacuum cleaner.
Is there a difference in drywall thickness for residential versus commercial construction?
