My first attempt at Drywall

While Matt was busy working on electrical... last weekend I decided I needed a project to work on at the house. SO, I took my first try at installing some drywall. It was easier in some ways than I imagined (the measurig and cutting of it was quite easy), and yet took me much longer than I thought (getting it level and screwed in with one person was not so easy)... but that's how you learn and I'm sure next time will go faster. Haha, and there will be plenty of basement for me to practice on.

I covered up our half-wall/railing that goes around our staircase leading down to the basement. We rebuilt this when we tore out the full floor-to-ceiling walls around the staircase when the new stairs went in earlier. It won't be finished of course until we mud and tape it (which we are planning to hire someone to do once the whole basement has drywall)... but it is nice to have it covered and more finished looking (meaning there aren't just 2x4's framed together and open to stairs where a small child could fall through). 

A couple pictures to prove I did it!
