| I was able to find a company that would bring
it into the basement. Better yet, they were able to beat their
competitors' prices! It's also the company where I'm getting my
acoustic ceiling tile, so it makes sense to get everything from
one source.
Unfortunately, I have a 180 degree bend in my stairwell. The
4x8 foot sheets wouldn't fit around the corner! The delivery guys
had to cut EVERY SINGLE PIECE to get it into the basement! I had
them cut the sheets at the 2 foot mark. My thinking was that since
I'm adding beadboard on the bottom 32" of the wall, the butt joints
created by cutting the sheets would be concealed behind the beadboard.
This will make it the finishing job of all the extra butt joints
less critical.
It took about 3 hours to bring everything down. I held off on
the delivery of the ceiling tiles until later, when I'm ready
for them. It's a good thing- I don't know where I would have put
them!! So much for my nice, clean basement! What have I gotten
myself into!
