Kevin, it's great you could get a drywall lift. Years ago, I had very little money, so I put sheetrock on a ceiling without a lift. I ended up cutting it into smaller sections to make it more manageable.
The drywall lift is a cheap-o from Amazon for less than $200.00. I only need to hang about a dozen sheets for the whole project so I did not buy a good one.
It has proved to be an example of money very well spent. It is wonderful.

Second eye had surgery two days ago (Monday). It tested 2030 only 20 hours after surgery. It is expected to improve to be 2020 also. I'm very happy about it.
Good news to hear Garry. My wife is going in for her eye surgery next week. She only needs one eye operated on.

Kevin: Drywall looking good, I don't understand why they use nails, yes i do it is quicker and cheaper for them.
My house was built in 1988, which is in the ultimate "bad time" for houses to be built in Florida. It was during the era of high interest rates and before Hurricane Andrew, so all kinds of building codes and inspections were relaxed.

The builders must have still been "transitioning" from using the old wood lath because they nailed all the drywall with short, blued, straight-shanked nails that were traditionally used for wood lath. They were barely over an inch long!
These nails were one and a half inches long, but the shanks were bright and smooth. They certainly did not have much holding power.
Now I am fretting about the interior ceilings. I need to take down the ceiling in the bathroom, so I will find out soon.

I'm not a fan of Mexican food. It isn't very popular in my city. There are one or two small Mexican restaurants but that isn't much for a city of 750k.
WHAT?!?
How is this possible? There are cities here in Florida with 10,000 people and four Mexican restaurants. How can you not love Mexican food? How can there be an entire city of people who do not love Mexican food?
My mind is blown.

Kevin, nice work on that ceiling. Must be handy to be as tall as you are.
Thank you. I hope to have it done and ready for texture by Friday.
I still need a 14" high work platform to do the ceiling work out back. The Lanai ceiling is 8' 6" high.
