Drywalling

To say we had a lot of drywalling to do would be a slight understatement. You don't really realize how many walls you have and what the square footage is until you have to put up drywall.

The drywalling process started for us by making a large order to Kenroc building supplies. Talking with a neighbour of dads we were persuaded to have Kenroc deliver the drywall and use a boom to lift up the drywall from the truck and put it through our second story window, so the guys would not have to carry it up the stairs. Absolutely ridiculous. The boom operator was a little sketchy and maybe not the sharpest tool in the box and dismantling a 1913 window so drywall could be put through it was also not the easiest task (and a huge pain in the ass to put back together). When it was all said and done we had 180 sheets of drywall in our house.

The pictures below are of the drywall being delivered. The last picture I think is quite artistic!
