Drywall

This is DEFINITELY the way to get your drywall to the third floor! The best part of the whole deal is that I paid the same price delivered as I would have paid at Lowes or Home Depot at the store. Southern Drywall Supply had better prices than them even when delivery was included. These guys pulled into the driveway and pulled out 30 minutes later after placing the 44 sheets of drywall exactly where I wanted. I got two 14 foot, thirty three 12 foot and nine 8 foot sheets.

If anyone is in the area I will have a new drywall lift by time I get back home. I ordered one today off Amazon.com. It was 35 bucks a day to rent one and I bought one for 188. It will take 6 days to pay off but if I decided to sell it after I am done I am sure I could get at least a hundred bucks for it. I have always wanted a drywall lift though so I am sure I will keep it. It will sure beat trying to lift a 12 foot sheet over my head while Kerry places the deadman under both sides. I was 5 years younger last time I did that... I am a lot smarter now. =)

I didn't get much done today. I finished the drain plumbing and stubbed out the plumbing for the third floor bathroom vanity. In order to do that I had to make a run to Edmonson's Plumbing to get the pieces that I needed. I will have to remember not to send Kerry on any errands there now. They have really pretty vanities in their new showroom and I am afraid she will see them.

I am headed for Calgary, Alberta tomorrow to fly between there and Hanover, Germany. Already looking forward to being back home to start putting all this drywall up. Yee haw!

Since Frank has been gone, I was able to get all the nails pulled for him. Upon his return, he'll be able to hang the drywall.
