A 4 man crew that worked together for a while should be able to put up 180 sheet a day, not every day, but they should be hitting that number once and a while. When I was younger we put up 185 in one day, all lids, double layer. Oh ya, there were 3 of us.

This is funny. I'm picturing a bunch of guys chest bumping and giving high 5's to each other. LOL. Or, are they just going up to each other sniffing butts? Too funny! Oh yeah, btw, I'm a smartass.

ceilings go super fast . a crew of 4 should be hanging way more than that sounds like they were screwing off to much , I hope you were paying them by the foot.

I get paid by the hour up here in canada and can do a max of 6 per day. That is gravy.

Kiddin'

I am curious on how much anybody charges for hanging rock? Mud and tape? do the prices reflect the inclusion of material or not?? Just wondering how these jobs are quoted in the USA.
