Days 168 - 172: Paperless Drywall Installation

We started the process of installing walls and ceilings in the parlour, drawing room and stairwell. We used the fairly new paperless drywall product which resists mold and moisture. The cost was a few dollars more per sheet than regular drywall... However, I had a 10% off discount coupon from a friend of mine which reduced the costs considerably.

Advantages of using this product versus traditional drywall:

• Mold-resistant interior drywall
• Ideal replacement for regular drywall throughout the home
• Paperless design resists mold
• Superior fire and abuse resistance compared to regular drywall.

Here are our friends from Lowe's delivering the product and bringing it in:




Here is the parlour as of Friday, April 6, 2007:

MJM put the plastic vapour barrier up in the room. We used a drywall lift from Home Depot to put this up to the ceiling. As you can imagine, the house doesn't have standard measurements, so Michael had to make a lot of custom measurements and cuts.


We now have a ceiling in the parlour...


... and in the drawing room!

We have walls in the stairwell. Here I am casually holding this piece up while MJM takes a picture.


MJM and the kids put a few newspaper articles as memento items for anyone who ever wanted to renovate the stairwell of the house. Hopefully not!

It would be nice to see more pictures and updates of your renovation project. But I do hope everything went well. Renovating is a challenging, but very rewarding, project once you have finished.
