Sheetrock Installation

The second construction blip in three days. Here's the whole series--mainly of the house we're now renting, but the latest show the much larger one to be occupied by our landlord's family of five.

We were not around for the installation of sheetrock (a.k.a. drywall, plasterboard) in our smaller house (it was after we left for Paris in January), so I'm blipping it here. The workers call it "boarding," and they're incredibly efficient at every part of the process.

The yellow apparatus (very much a Rube-Goldberg type of thing) is used to hold large sheets for installation on a ceiling--the crank is used to raise it up. The green surface on some sheets is waterproof, and is installed where that is important (for example, it's in much of the full basement of this large house).
