Am-cats Team Drywall will cost $10 per sheet hung thought the project.
Drywall: panels of pressed gypsum plaster between heavy paper. Drywall is also known as plasterboard, wallboard, and gypsum board. Some people call it “sheetrock,” but sheetrock is a registered trademark of a company that produces drywall. Drywall comes in four basic thicknesses: When hanging drywall, the goal is to create the fewest number of seams possible. This means working with the largest drywall panels and pieces you can handle safely. 5/8 inch is the heaviest and the most soundproof 1/2 inch is best to cover existing walls 3/8 inch is best to cover existing walls 1/4 inch is the choice for curved walls and arches depending on city codes and the space you are working with all these sizes can apply. To finish the wall properly, you’re going to have to fill the gap with “mud” tape the joints and use joint compound. By leaving a large gap, it’s just more drywall compound, and that can shrink and pull away, leaving a visible seam. A 1/8″ gap is recommended, and typical. Team Drywall can hang an average of 60 4×8 sheets a day depending on the thickness weighing about 60 pounds. The new lightweight drywall weighs about 41 pounds. Toggle bolts are the types of drywall anchors that can support up to 50 pounds, while steel hollow-wall anchors have a drywall anchors weight limit of up to 100 pounds. And wait to avoid when installing drywall is driving screws too deep, joints too tight, fastening
