They have to set up delivery or load and unload the drywall, set-up, waste time talking to homeowner after showing up, breaks, lunch, clean-up, load waste and haul somewhere to dump (doesn't just disappear when they leave your place), etc. It's not just the time on site they charge for. Like...

It's impossible to tape and finish in one day with complete drying to be able to paint. $200 won't cut it. I spent $300 just in Sherwin Paint for my garage alone. That's the proper primer with two costs. Seems to be pervasive on GJ with guys stating these super lowball prices for things.

Does that aluminum pass code for fire rating?

I paid $2600 for my garage to be drywalled. It's a 24x26 and was spray foam insulated and completely stripped to bare studs. This is in New Hampshire, not sure about prices in Texas but I see guys post jobs costing way less than what is reality. $700 for a ceiling would be low for my area...

This is pretty much where I'm at. My right shoulder was reconstructed last week. Even walking it hurts like a ***** right now so I'm out of the picture for DIY. I'm even paying to have garage painted as I need it done. Just hate been taken for a ride and this drywaller screwed me into...

Go bigger if you can. That size shed will be filled immediately, especially if you have a lawn tractor in there. Totally agee with 38Chevy, if you can swing it go with 12x16 to take advantage of the std size lumber. I would go with a 12x12 before I did a 10x14 as well.

Then he could slap a lien on me. Best I can do is drag out paying him to make a point.

I just don't like how he took them down, said nothing, then bailed. Obviously a sleaze move. Figuring out how to **** with him. Definitely won't be paying immediately and will make him ask for it.

May want to consider people's circumstances before opening your mouth *******. I have an unusable arm.

easier said then done. I have unusable arm.

The thing is, they could have installed the drywall without removing the openers. I asked the guy at the Overhead Door Company if this is common and he said normally the drywallers put them back up and only time there are issues is when they get the alignment wrong. This is a medium sized...

So I paid to have my garage drywalled, taped, mudded and sanded. Had basic written contract with nothing mentioned about garage door openers nor did he mention it before or during job. On first day he worked, I came home and my 6 month old door openers were sitting on the floor of the garage...

+1 That is shed stuff....

Go with a 60 inch door. Most riding lawners have 38-42 in decks (plus the chute). You'll quickly realize how fast a small shed like that will get filled with stuff. Trust me :)

True on the UL cert. being approved vs listed but it's really a matter of semantics regardless. It's a certification either way. Sorry, but 99% of flourescent fixtures would fall under your somewhat ridiculus claim of elcheapo but if you want to over spend on fixtures be my guest. My...
