Delivery people rarely follow through with the phone call they promise before they show up. I woke up this morning to see on my phone that I missed a phone call. It was the driver with the sheetrock. He hadn't left the yard yet, and he was calling for directions (not necessarily to let me know he was coming). I told him the place was locked and I'd be over there in 15 mins. They beat us there. So had they not needed directions, it would have been more of a rush on my part to go over & let them in.
All I can say is: I now have a LOT of sheetrock!
There are three big stacks in the living room, two in the kitchen, and one in the garage. The green rock is next to one of the bathrooms. The truck they used has a boom arm on it. The arm lifts sheets off the truck and extends out to the front door. So the guys just take them off the arm and onto a dolly with wheels. Then they take them to the stacks in the house.
It'll be interesting to see where they start hanging the stuff and how they maneuver around the stacks.
One thing I noticed is that some sheets were scraped and gouged by the time they were put on the truck and handled by the crane arm. I assume they either don't use the gouged pieces or they can mud over the scars later on.
I left a voicemail with my sheetrock guy letting him know the material is on-site and that he'll need to call me to get in the house when they're ready to start... We'll see if they are another group that forgets to call first! :)
