There's an awful lot of mudding that they didn't show. Way too many seams. |

I don't think that's "sheetrock" rather lathe for the plaster. I *think* the idea is to squeeze the plaster through the seams to hold it. OTOH, the next video shows holes in the sheets. |

In the usual 8, 10, 12, 16 foot lengths. They make drywalling as efficient as possible. 8', 9', 10' ceiling heights. Two sheets will cover it. |

I know and old electrician/developer/commercial property manager who covered the floors in the house he was building with roofing paper during construction. Well, it was probably 1/3 tape. The very last thing done was the floors. When he was ready to do the floors he ripped up all the paper and there was pristeen concrete ready for the flooring. The paper more than half filled a large roll off construction dumpster. (big house) I've done that with Rosen paper... and if there are finished floors there is a cardboard product that comes in rolls that offers some dent protection too. A recent renovation I visited while in process had Ram Board covering the floors. https://www.americanfloormats.com/ramboard/ |

Just to be clear, the cardboard pieces were individual,flat, pallet sized sheets. Picture a pallet with three or four levels of paper towels or toilet or somesuch with a cardboard sheet between each level. Perhaps my timing was just lucky such that I was able to access as many exposed pieces as I did. Only recall doing it the one time. Dave in SoTex |

We used to staple those cardboard squares (heavy tagboard, really) to the inner walls of railroad boxcars to protect the bags of cornstarch we were loading. |

Taped together they protected the clients flooring during tearout, drywall replacement, painting, and general foot traffic. Dave in SoTex A few months ago I bought a 4 x 8 sheet of that white bumpy plastic wall board, typically used for cheap bathroom upgrades. This stuff: https://www.homedepot.com/p/PLAS-TEX...8615/311314398 While in HD, I cut it in half (4x4) to make it easier to get it into my van. As it turned out, the material wasn't going to work for the project I had in mind (heavy duty shelf liner) so it's been sitting in my garage. A few weeks ago the town had to come into my house to fix a drain issue and needed access to the clean out in my basement bathroom. Suspecting that they were going to make a mess on the floor with their camera, snake and other equipment, I trimmed the plastic wallboard to fit the area where they needed to work and laid it down, smooth side up. I was right, they made a mess, but clean up was as easy as carrying the pieces outside and hosing them off. This process was repeated when they came back a week later to install a CIPP sleeve. Again, cleanup was a breeze. Now I have to decide whether to hang onto it or toss it. It would probably make a good surface for large glue-ups, painting projects, etc. |

I was thinking of starting a GoFundMe page to buy a sheet of plywood. |
