Stop into New York Kitchen and Bath on broadway in depew/lancaster (near village of lancaster)
What’re you looking to have done?
convert kitchen and dining room into eat in kitchen and remodel bathroom.
Btw, anyone do remodeling work for cassshhh?
I’m looking for some cheap labor to pay $10-20/hr cash for just drywall finishing. I’ma throw up the drywall, but I don’t think I can do all the finish work.
Depends on how good you are I guess. Or else a flat rate, that would work for me as well!
I’m not that retarded, and using 16’ boards… I’ll try to only have a few 1" or more gapped sheets.
I’ve got some badass golfers elbow going on, and I think all the sanding and what not will finish it off, lol.
I’m maybe 2-3 weeks away yet.
Approx uhm… 80 linear ft of seam on walls, (horiz)
~100ft of seam on ceiling
and 80ft of corner seams.
Rough estimate, but should be fairly close.
awwwdamn i forgot the inside wall.
Maybe another ~40ft of wall/corner
Be easier to judge with a square footage of ceiling and wall along with a ceiling height. Also price usually increases if there are spots that will be matched into existing walls, more so if they are plaster and lathe, or textured in any way.
As for hanging it yourself I think it would be a better idea to have the person doing the finishing hang it. I usually tell customers a price for hang and finish, when they ask “how much if I hang it myself?” I add a couple hundred on to hang/finish price or just walk away. Not to say you don’t know what you’re doing, but most finishers like it hung their own way.
I do very high quality work in a very reasonable amount of time… But 10-20 an hour is low I think. Someone doing it for that either doesn’t know what they are doing, or will stretch the job to capitalize on an hourly rate. If someone can do it for beer money, that’s their choice.

This was the exact response I was expecting, which is why I said i’ll leave 1" gaps.
:]
I’ve had quite a few guys in here that worked for $20/hr that own their own companies, so it can’t be that terrible. That’s also why I said a flat rate because I know some people milk it. If you don’t want to do it, because contracting jobs are incredibly plentiful now, then that’s fine.
$20/hr cash is too low? Perhaps if you pay taxes, and use your own supplies then def it is. But I believe the word cash implies that you become my temporary uncle repaying me for a previous favor if anyone asks.
1" seam gaps ? good god!! lol
I can probably do it, it would have to be on a weekend though
edit: it will probably extend into the next weekend depending on how many coats.
Didn’t mean to say what you were asking for was unreasonable, just remember you get what you pay for.

Yeah, I like to use a rubber based joint compound, so it expands and contracts with house movement and heat cycles… Kind of just like a driveway.
kidding, obviously. 
It can be weekends/nights, idc.
P.S.
If you want to hurry it up, my BK Chinook will be in by then…

and I have 2 80pint dehumdifiers + fans to get things mooooooovin’
so if you don’t mind working in 120+ degree temps, by the time you finish, where you started might be ready to sand!
or i can just buy fast setting compound…
fast setting compound sucks!
in my experience EVERY blue bucket (i dont remember specific brands sorry) has been extremely watery, and the green bucket is usually the best. the blue stuff seems to create less dust though upon sanding.
Can prob get 2 coats in on 1 day, if it needs a 3rd it will obv have to be another day. I’d have to borrow our drywall sanding machine 
i would offer to help hang it for cheap but i honestly don’t feel like hanging anything over 8feet without a lift because it’s a complete PITA with only 2 people.
Setting type compound is the best and fastest way to do things. How do you plan on two coating in one day with all-purpose (green lid) besides standing there waiting hours for it to dry? (oh wait that’s right its hourly rate…)
If you are referring to USG Sheetrock brand Light-weight or plus-3 (blue lid, white pail) it should never more watery than green lid, unless you are adding WAY too much water to it. And the dust from plus three actually stays airborne longer than regular all purpose, unless you are using plus-three with dust control. If you were to use a porter cable vacuum sander the dust control compound would be a waste as I believe it costs more and comes in smaller pails.
Unless you are hanging 12 footers on a lid by yourself, renting a drywall lift is again, a waste of time and money. 16’s can easily be hung with two people no problem, but IMO, why struggle. Use 12’s, a couple extra butt joints are not a big deal, and worth saving your back.
I have done drywall since I got out of high school 12 years ago. 7 years as a residential hanger/finisher, and the last 5 as a union finisher/painter, including the last 1-2 years as a foreman for a very successful coommercial/institutional contractor.
Just remember you are the one who has to look at the walls in your home. If it was me, I would get a few quotes and take one somewhere in the middle, not just whoever will work the cheapest.
