Hanging Sheetrock over the garage

We awoke early, had morning beverages and did our morning language lessons. Breakfast was waffles then we took the dogs on their morning walk. The temperature was in the 40s so a jacket felt good for the walk.

When we returned from the walk, we continued hanging Sheetrock in the room above the garage. We finished covering the wall along the stairwell then cut sheets to fit the bottom section of the side walls. Each section was about 5 1/2 feet long and only had two cutouts for electrical receptacles. Mark and I worked well together to cut and hang the sheets.

We broke for lunch and had leftover black beans with tortilla chips then continued cutting and hanging sheets of gypsum until had the longer wall covered up to the 5 1/2 angle. Then we put two sheets up on the end of the room nearest the house. We had only two sheets left and estimated that we would need an additional two sheets plus the scraps from the cuts on the short walls to complete the job. We would have to move all of the items stored in the room to the area where we had already hung drywall. We would also need to go to Home Depot in the morning to buy the drywall and some tongue and groove pine panels to cover the angled side walls and perhaps the ceiling.

The dogs had a short walk in the neighborhood around Eldred, Bassett and Cedar gate before our dinner of a large garden salad with grilled chicken breast. After showering and doing evening language lessons we watched another episode of Astrid and one of Vienna Blood on PBS.
