We live in the mountains and there is a mountain of daywall that needs hung....mountains and mountains.

The day after the accident, they started out talking about just how high it was to the top of gable ends......the final answer was 34 feet.

Two drywallers had fallen from the top of the octagon, because they had just drove two nails for bracing and both walked out on carrying a sheet of drywall. The nails didn't hold. Accidents do happen but this was just being stupid.

When the beams were installed, 1/2 inch was left between the floor joist and the beams so the drywall could slide in....

I watched them like a hawk, because my problems here would just keep adding up.....there isn't enough molding to cover all this...

Once they saw I was checking their work, after each sheet, they slowed down and did it correctly...

Which lead to this conversation, You know we are paid by the square foot and this guy is making us go back and it's taking longer...we need more money
