Garage Update Pics Part 6

[ChucksCrib]

Not too much has changed except for the electrical getting roughed in and my starting to put up the rock on the walls. At a minumum I had to sheetrock the ceiling and the front wall prior to putting the tracks for the gargage doors in. I suspect I'll be hearing from Overhead Door this week about an install date.

I also decided to buy a sheetrock lift. I found some brand new ones on e-bay for $249. I still have to finish the upstairs of the house. Renting that thing out for $28 a day would turn out to be more expensive and certainly inconvienent.

Hey Chuck with a drywall lift can you do the install entirely yourself?

 

[ChucksCrib]

You betcha. Over the weekend I did the front wall and the top portion of the side wall by myself.

Looks like a great vette spot when it is all done

Lookin' good, Chuck!

For that kinda money, I think I'll follow your lead and buy a drywall lift for the garage and basement work that are certainly in my future

In the past I have been very fortunate about finding friends to help but it can be a real pain in the schedule. Chuck any chance you could post alink to the one you bought? I do have a birthday coming up maybe I should treat myself.

Nice progress Chuck!

Will that drywall lift work at an angle? Say, for applying drywall to the underside of scissor trusses?

Not to hijack your thread, but...


Look at this funky floor jack!

It's one of the other auctions from that same seller;

good question. I know it pivots from a horizontal to a verticle position so I think it can. It doesn't lock into different angle positions so you'll have to guide tray by hand. I'll see if I can snap some pics when it comes in. I should have it early part of next week.

Thanks Chuck, that thing looks great and I agree at $30 per day you will have it paid for in one job.

 

[DynoDave]

Great. Thanks Chuck.

The lift came in today I put it together in about 10 minutes. I didn't so much as need a screw diver or wrench to put it together. The quality of the piece looks comparable to the unit I have been renting. I took a couple pictures of it but I left it over my girlfriends house. I'll post some more pics this weekend as I plan on using it.

Excellent. I'll have to print this post out "for future reference".
