Her is the Drywall truck
To most, installing drywall is scary. Even the toughest shy away but our drywall installer David Jurries is a pro.
Sheetrock was invented in 1894 and originally was called “Sackett board” for the fellow who invented it Augustine Sackett and his company of the same name. It had a difficult time gaining popularity because it was deemed second rate by the plasterers of the day. Gypsum board as it is also called went on to gain popularity after world war II while the labor force was low and the instillation was 1/10th less labor intensive.
We have run across Rock lath which was a middle step in the evolution of drywall. It had holes in it and was used backer for a finish coat of plaster. Drywall as it was called is just that in relation to plaster which was the primary competition and installed wet over lath in several coats much like Stucco is today.

Drywall has many advantages including rapid instillation, fire resistance even thickness and it comes in a myriad of sizes some with special features like soundproofing water resistance and bendable.
David has been my installer from the beginning and has a way of making up for framers little gaffs and making it “White & Tight” in a hurry. 12′ lengths, no problem.
One of the happiest guys to be around, he is the subcontractors we measure all others against. He brings professionalism, high quality workmanship to the table as well as cleanliness and most of all joy. Sadly he is losing his hearing from not using hearing protection with some of his tools.
