The Drywall Machine

Over the course of this long adventure (buying a house and redoing the kitchen), we've accumulated a lot of tools, big and small. But this one took the cake! Thankfully we don't have to permanently store it (we rented it from Home Depot).

We also got some help from our friends on this project as it takes more than one to operate the machine (and put it together). One was an engineer, so we figured he could put it together. (That was the first challenge - only, of course, because reading directions would be just tooo easy!)

Once we got it together, and figured out where the drywall pieces were going, and cut them to the right size (fyi - this took a lot more time than using the actual machine!), we were finally able to put it to work! And because it's just that cool, I'll let the pictures do (most of) the talking :) .

Lock and load!

Hoist her up and we're ready to go!

The machine makes holding it up a LOT easier!


Guys and their power drills!
The best part about this (besides seeing the ugly ceiling disappear) was that this was the first reconstruction we did in the kitchen! Yay! Finally, it seemed that we were making (slight) progress on the way to our new kitchen, thanks to the help of several great friends and this cool machine!
