I Built a 2,000 Sq Ft Cabin With Zero Experience!

What happens here

After insulation, drywall panels are brought into the cabin using a specialized crane truck that lifts large pallets of drywall directly to upper levels or through wide openings. This is particularly useful in an A-frame with high ceilings and limited interior access. Once inside, the drywall sheets are moved into position, lifted (often using drywall lifts), and screwed to the wall studs and ceiling rafters. Following the hanging, the drywall seams are taped and mudded multiple times, then sanded to create smooth, seamless surfaces ready for painting. This process is often done by experienced drywallers for quality and efficiency.

Goal: Cover interior framed walls and ceilings with finished drywall.

Now that the drywalls inside the building, we're ready to hire our drywaller guys. They came in quickly. the day where it was just two guys, I was able to hang the entire building. And in just 4 days, with the drywall being all complete, this is a perfect time for us to save some more money by doing more things ourselves by painting. This part was
