DIY DRY WALL

This was a tough one. Mostly because of the sheer size of the project.

First off, after determining the layout place the tracks in position and fasten them to the ground with fisher screws.

Note: You can cut the track with a plate sheer. Don't cut the openings for doors yet. This is to keep everything nice and straight. And please, use a straight angle.

After the tracks we started by cutting the rails to size and rivetting it into position.
We then riveted the top rails to the track and fixed it to the roof, making sure everything was nice and level.

Note: Do not rivet all the track into place. Rather insert them as you install the drywall boards. This is so that you can make small adjustments where necessary.

Here we started putting the drywall boards up.
After fastening the first board with self tapping screws, we inserted the rail so that it would be evenly spaced between the first and second board.
Continue doing this with all the boards.
We then used a special tape used for drywall to seal in between the boards.

Note: When cutting drywall to size, run a blade along the board where it needs to be cut. Flip it over and snap it like you would a piece of glass. Then cut the access board off where it is bent.

Here we put some insulation inside the walls before we repeated the process of putting up the boards to close the walls.
I must say that I didn't really notice a difference with the insulation inside the walls. Only difference I saw was on my budget, cause it was expensive.

Next we Filled all joints and holes where the screws were put with crack filler.

We then started the mega job of sanding everything down.

Some good advice would be to spread the filler thin and evenly to save time and energy when sanding.

After cleaning up the mess, we started painting all the rooms.

After painting and some more cleaning we finished everything off with some aluminum skirting.

And that was the way the cookie crumbled.
I must admit that this project was a bit upsetting, but it was mostly because of the sheer size and we only had two weeks. And we are only two.
