Finally Drywall...

It is a big step to get to drywall.  Endless guessing on fixture and wire locations have been eating up a lot of time.  No more thinking about it now since it is all covered up.  I did leave access in the closet ceilings and along the center beam to get to almost any joist bay if I need to run additional wires in the future.  A single guy was hanging 12' sheets with his handy lift...of course he still had to lift the 82# sheets onto the machine.  The drywall deliverers seemed to have no trouble carrying the double sheets down into the basement.  I guess you get used to carrying 82# all day.  Of course it did shrink the space, but it made it a lot brighter (on this sunny day) so it overall is fine for a low ceiling (7') basement.
