Anyone know what that'll run me? Know any good contractors? I've thought about doing it myself, but drywall work SUCKS.

No matter what it costs, let someone else do it. That's all I have to say.

hire pros and they'll be done before lunch time.

My brother does all kinds of home construction and even he hires it out. Its' amazing to watch those guys work.

the drywall part is easy. Its the mud that takes talent

I've rented a wet saw and am about to go home and start cutting the 300 bricks I need to cut.

I'll do anything once. I did drywall and I suck at it.

I've got a link at home to a place called 'Renovator's resource' - it's awesome. It gives appropriate labor rates for all type of construction work. Kinda like a black book.

I'll post it when i get home.

I think Putt knows a little about drywall. I might be wrong

Should cost $3500- $4500. Thats hung and finished....material and labor.

I hate sheetrock. I use anything else whenever possible. I paneled my bathroom even. If you must use it do a Spanish knockdown finish. that doesn't look so bad.
