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.

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.

Its getten there.can’t wait till its done I have been at it for a year.

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.
