The full-term vernacular is sheetrocking, but I've been around the men talking and evidently to put up the sheetrock is to "rock." Here's a pile, one of many, of some sheetrock that was hand carried to the basement, some as long as 12 feet, by a crew of three. It took them 2-1/2 hours. It was not for a weakling, each man carrying by himself one to two sheets--very physical work. I told my boys to stay in school. "You do not want to have to do that job on a day-to-day basis."
The actual "rocking" was done in a little over a day by a crew of three Hispanics. The boss spoke English. They worked really hard. Because of a slow economy, they're happy to be working, even if it's only a day or two each week.
We're coming to the end of the mudding and sanding portion done by Lee and his partner. They come in for a couple hours at the end of the day (they've been working on a big house up in Park City during the day) and sand then put on an add'l coat of mud. It won't be long before it will be time to start painting.
