November 5 Drywall cont.

November 5

Getting a better hang of drywalling by this time, second space finished with widows still missing.
Almost ready to move to second part of the basement which will be laundry room and storage room.

Cost: $107 (got a box of metal corners, some 6 mil foil for moisture barrier and few other things)
Time: 2x7 hrs total 14 hrs

October 29 & 30 Drywalling of the walls

October 29

I was busy that day so my dad did some work and I did help with hanging the boards on the wall.

We decided to buy 2 more bags of R12 insulation, that should be all that's needed to finish off the basement.

Cost: 2 bags of R12 $80

Time: 1 x 3, 1x6  total  9 hrs.

October 30

Drywalling continued, we managed to finish majority of future media room, nothing unusual or hard about this job except cutting out where outlets will be. Measuring with the board not yet up wasn't working out as when the board is moved around you end up with opening  in different spot then needed.

Option that seemed to work is to make a small opening to pull cables through and before the drywall is fully secured using small drywall hand saw and knife which is pretty time consuming.

Time: 2 x 9 hrs total 18 hrs

October 28th Wall insulation

October 28
Wall insulation before the drywall of the main space.
This went pretty quickly I bought 2 bags of R12 pink insulation and re-used lot of old insulation that was taken down, putting insulation into walls and cutting to size as well as putting moisture barrier 6 mil thickness goes by really quickly. Don't forget to wear gloves and mask it does irritate quiet bit.

Cost of 2 bags: $80
Time spent: 1x4 hrs

Picture was taken after wall was started.
