Hello All,

Well, I had thought about doing the drywalling in my basement as a one-man DIY project, but I give up. I’m happily sitting here in a good state of humbleness. There isn’t really any way that I can think of in terms of convenience as a one-man show. If I had but a second pair of hands, sure, but its not easy lifting sheets into place and holding them there with one hand while reaching for the screw gun.

So, with this in mind, I am looking for drywallers that would glue & screw the rock, mud and tape, sand, and repeat, and haul away the trash. I’ve taken the liberty of measuring all the rooms for their L, W, and H, and rounded UP to the nearest foot. All but two rooms will have drywall ceilings, too. Here are the figures:

Theater Room: 27’L x 13’W x 8’H (640 SqFt Wall, Tiled Ceiling)
Main Room: 22’L x 15’W x 9’H (666 SqFt Wall, 330 SqFt Ceiling)
Game Room: 18’L x 15’W x 9’H (594 SqFt Wall, 270 SqFt Ceiling)
Bar Room: 16’L x 12’W x 8’H (448 SqFt Wall, Tiled Ceiling)
Bathroom: 8’L x 8’W x 8’H (256 SqFt Wall, 64 SqFt Ceiling)
Hall: 7’L x 5’W x 9’H (216 SqFt Wall, 35 SqFt Ceiling)

Total: 640+666+320+594+270+448+256+64+216+35 = 3509 SqFt.

Please note that some of the elevations vary between 8′ and 9′ because of soffets that I am doing out of MDF. I am looking for bid & references, preferably on the $/SqFt scheme, but will take $$$ bids for the entire job, too. All rooms except the theater room can be 1/2″, but I am looking for 5/8″ in the theater.

If I’ve posted this in error (such as in the wrong forum, etc.), please do accept my apologies.
