I'm Really Too Old for This
We got our inspections and started drywalling the ceilings today. In order to not have to put fire sprinklers in we had to hang the building with 5/8" fire code sheetrock. It weighs about 130 pounds a sheet. Getting them 14 feet in the air is a challenge. A couple Mission members and some men from the Shelter helped lift the sheets. It's looking like a Church!

I gotta get me one o' them thar tool bits.
That looks really nifty.
Tool belts. Tool belts.
Sheesh
If you come and help us lift drywall onto the scaffold and ceiling I'll let you have mine. :)
How exciting. I'll look forward to visiting next time I travel home.
Congrats to you and your parish. Things are shaping up nicely, it seems.
Is that you in the white shirt? Did you trim your beard?
The puzzle to me looks like getting the drywall on the dome. I mean... sheetrock (dates me, huh?) on a curved surface... how do you do that?
is that Brent in the plaid?
It was nice to see you again too Cameron. Fr. James, I still have the beard, you just can't see it from behind. I lathed the dome today with diamond cut lath and will plaster it. I've done them in 1/4 in sheetrock that you have to wet and bend and cut extremely precisely so its much more complicated and time consuming, and I'm not that good, I'm more of a finisher than hanger... and no, its not Brent, its one of the guys from the Shelter who came over to help.
