I asked the sheet rock guy how he did this tight radius curve on our stairs. I thought he may have scored the back of the drywall or sprayed it with water to soften it but he said he just ... slowly... pressed it into place. We've had considerable rain in the last week or two and he said the sheet rock has absorbed moisture and that's why it can bend like this without snapping.
Ha! And I thought there couldn't be a silver lining to all this rain!

Sheet rock
Three and a half days of drywall install and they've almost finished the 2800 square foot main floor. After staring at framing for so many months, it's very exciting to see the walls actually starting to look like walls!
We started out with a half dozen guys but today we were down to just two (and they didn't arrive until 10:00 and were long gone when I stopped back by at 4:00 PM). I hope we can persuade our general contractor to assign more men to our job since our promised Christmas move-in date has been pushed out to March 1st and we can't afford to miss that date because we have no place to live after February 27th.
