Sadly I come up with $27,000 @ 22.50 per sheet.

Rich,
Who needs math skills to tape and mud? Agree to his $4800 and tell him you provide lunches too.

The math becomes complex and convoluted if he's got a taping machine ("Bazooka") because the thing allows him to work so fast.
Time moves backwards when you work faster than the speed of light.
He'll start on Monday, do the last sheet on Friday, and finish two weeks before he started. The $4800 check will be cashed and spent before he even answers your ad.

Su I would miss IC for sure RR in Dec Thursdays and weekend would be sh#t as well. I missed the tree as it was. I get scared with real low prices . You just know the mess I would get.
Werner 60% 5/8, 100 sheets 4X8 in Maids quarters above barn, the rest 4X12. The kicker is the Sun room, The Aqua Room , Wine cellar< Vault and Pistol range 25M are Cement board 4X8
Interested smart I thought not leave the Valley sh#t you would have to leave Ca.
I got 40+ replies today I will call 20 agree to meet 10 , 5 will show.
The other good reply was for superintend .
Crazy week Lost one carpenter ( 5.11-12 sport climber) he fell on some 5.6 10:00 friday night. Messed up his knee. Then today my lead and a helper were in a accident during lunch.
I may have to put on my bags tomorrow , If I knew where they were.
I forgot Werner 1/4 “ on the 16’ dome I will build next week and on the barrel ceilings in the master bed and bath rooms.
Susan I admit my wish was to be at the Tree but Lumpy was Pretty Fing good that weekend.

"I may have to put on my bags tomorrow".
The horror, the horror!
Actually, these days when I get to put on my bags I feel like I'm on vacation.
Hope the job goes well.

If everyone was gone sure. But seems I don’t get the sh#t done that I want.
Plus making a bid today on a repo 1.3 worth 550 , tiring to design a three story postage stamp house and get another through engineering so start.
I am looking at blow up work shelters so keep the job going through winter. Ever seen one? Big warm air balloon to cover house.
77 ish I helped sew the largest blow up advertisement at that time, SD Ford superman. 45’ base and 85' tall.
They said it could not be done but Richard of San Diego Awning is genius with material and sewing machine.
Kept me in yellow and blue cordura for years using the scraps. Well back to work this afternoon will be too perfect not to climb at 60 degrees …
