Talk about construction of walls and ceilings, and the first thing which comes to building contractors and architects and interior designers is drywall. Without it, it is impossible to imagine ceilings or walls getting constructed. There is no exception to this material, the world over. Those who are in the concerned industry and in home improvement know it inside out. For those who are not aware of drywall, this may seem like rocket science, though it isn't so. If you are thinking about what is it and what is the cost incured, because you probably are getting construction done, then this text, you would read on, might help you.
Drywall Overview
Also called sheetrock, drywall is primarily a panel made from gypsum plaster. It is pressed between a couple of thick sheets of paper and is used for construction of walls and ceilings. Plaster based interior finish techniques were replaced by drywall, because the installation was easier and faster. Now sheets of it can be manufactured from fiberglass too. It prevents mold from spoiling the parts constructed with it.
Drywall Installation Cost
Several factors go into determining how much money you will have to shell out for getting drywall installed. From the expanse of the area to be covered, you have it all. The professionals charge in a couple of ways. They either charge per square foot or charge by cost per sheet basis.
Labor Charges As mentioned earlier, the cost of installation is determined on per sheet basis as well as cost per square foot. The costs per sheet including the hanging and drywall finishing of the sheet is around $25 to $30. This can go up to $60 or perhaps even more, for high-end and pricey projects. For instance high and wide arches, vaulted ceilings and the like. If the construction requires to be done at height, there will be extra charges for lifting the material up there. The cost per sheet is primarily calculated by the amount of labor required for hanging and finishing the total area. The contractors then make an addition of profit, they think is good enough. That amount is then divided by the number of sheets they have actually installed and finished. The cost for a square foot is the easiest and common method for estimating cost. Drywall prices will range somewhere between 85 cents and $1.15 to $2 for a square foot. The average can be around $1.
Material Costs As mentioned before, material cost constitutes a major chunk of the entire cost. The cost of drywall is influenced by the overall scenario of the housing industry. 4' x 8' x 1/2" drywall sheets, some time ago were priced at less than $6 for a sheet sometime back. Now these can be priced around $9 or $10 or perhaps even more. It will depend eventually on the market scenario as to how much you have to pay. Apart from this in the total cost, the fasteners or drywall screws joint tape and compound and the corner bead also have to be included. Considering all this then, expect the cost to be anything around 30 cents to 55 cents for a square foot.
Additional Costs and Considerations
In cases where the installation job is not huge and is relatively small, the charges go up. To give you an example, if just one wall or a portion of it has to be dealt with, drywall can cost around $60 to 70 per sheet, almost double the cost. It is especially when you compare it with the charges for total renovation of the house. Cheaper price can be accomplished beyond maximum 35 drywall sheets which are installed and finished. Another very important issue is that the contractors will demand more money if you ask them to finish an already hung drywall. Expect to pay more in this scenario.
Finally, if you want to do the installation yourself, the cost will be just between $0.75 and $1. Considering this as a gospel, may land you in a soup. The experts say that this figure can be used as a foundation for determining drywall installation cost and is not the last word on the costs.

Right when you thought youve seen it all from Rooftop, Biz and Enns, they come up with this. In typical Rooftop fashion, he had something big up his sleeve for a New York Times celebrity animal photo fundraiser and came up with this amazing idea to dress up in these wild animal costumes and do what he does best. He said the skydiving shots in the big bear costume was the most insane due to not being able to see and maneuver around easy in. Which might stop the average bear but not Mike. He also recruited Enns and Biz to get in on the fun with the antics too. I have to admit the ones of Mike in the bear costume about to scare the living crap out of the homeless guy made me loose it. I could only imagine what that guy was thinking when he woke up, blahaha. You can read about each shot more on Mikes Instagram where he already put up most of these same pics. By the way, he broke the most likes on GoPros 1.2m followers Instagram account with 133k likes. Crazy! Click more to see some more amazing pics of the insanity. Click the top image to view all 11 pictures. Huge thanks to Mike and Paul Luna for the pics.

I knew Chris had a cousin that was pro back in the day but didnt think too much about it since he was pro before my time. Seeing this video and seeing how much Roger even looks like Chris, its surreal to think his cousin was a badass pro back in his day. Seeing them ride together, youll notice that Roger has a bit of a wild side but can definitely still bust out at 40+. This is cool as hell and Id highly recommend watching it for those those that always wished they had a BMX legend in the ol family tree. They say its a small world, and BMX is, apparently, an even smaller one. As it turns out, Chris Doyle, one of the most prolific and talented riders of our time, has a cousin named Roger Sullivan who was a professional BMX rider in the late 1980s. I had to learn more about this highly unlikely family connection, so Chris and I headed down to Florida to meet up with Roger, hang out, and ride bikes with this BMX legend from the past.

Demolition is the tearing-down of buildings and other structures. Demolition contrasts with deconstruction, which involves taking a building apart while carefully preserving valuable elements for re-use.
For small buildings, such as houses, that are only two or three stories high, demolition is a rather simple process. The building is pulled down either manually or mechanically using large hydraulic equipment: elevated work platforms, cranes, excavators or bulldozers. Larger buildings may require the use of a wrecking ball, a heavy weight on a cable that is swung by a crane into the side of the buildings. Wrecking balls are especially effective against masonry, but are less easily controlled and often less efficient than other methods. Newer methods may use rotational hydraulic shears and silenced rock-breakers attached to excavators to cut or break through wood, steel, and concrete. The use of shears is especially common when flame cutting would be dangerous.
The tallest building demolished by nonterrorist methods was the 47-story Singer Building in New York City, which was built in 1908 and torn down in 1967-1968 to be replaced by One Liberty Plaza.
Before any demolition activities, there are many steps that need to take place including but not limited to performing asbestos abatement, removing hazardous or regulated materials, obtaining necessary permits, submitting necessary notifications, disconnecting utilities, rodent baiting, and development of site-specific safety and work plans.
The typical razing of a building is accomplished as follows:
Hydraulic excavators may be used to topple one- or two-story buildings by an undermining process. The strategy is to undermine the building while controlling the manner and direction in which it falls. The demolition project manager/supervisor will determine where undermining is necessary so that a building is pulled in the desired manner and direction. The walls are typically undermined at a building's base, but this is not always the case if the building design dictates otherwise. Safety and cleanup considerations are also taken into account in determining how the building is undermined and ultimately demolished. Hoe rams are typically used for removing the concrete road deck and piers during bridge demolition, while hydraulic shears are used to remove the bridge's structural steel.
In some cases a crane with a wrecking ball is used to demolish the structure down to a certain manageable height. At that point undermining takes place as described above. However crane mounted demolition balls are rarely used within demolition due to the uncontrollable nature of the swinging ball and the safety implications associated.
High reach demolition excavators are more often used for tall buildings where explosive demolition is not appropriate or possible. Excavators with shear attachments are typically used to dismantle steel structural elements. Hydraulic hammers are often used for concrete structures and concrete processing attachments are used to crush concrete to a manageable size, and to remove reinforcing steel.
To control dust, fire hoses are used to maintain a wet demolition. Hoses may be held by workers, secured in fixed location, or attached to lifts to gain elevation.
Loaders or bulldozers may also be used to demolish a building. They are typically equipped with "rakes" (thick pieces of steel that could be an I-beam or tube) that are used to ram building walls. Skid loaders and loaders will also be used to take materials out and sort steel.
Demolition was a professional wrestling tag team most prominent during the late 1980s and early 1990s in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) made up of Ax (Bill Eadie), Smash (Barry Darsow), and later Crush (Brian Adams). In WWF, Demolition were three-time Tag Team Champions, and hold the records for both the single longest tag title reign and the most combined days as reigning champions.[10] Beginning in 2007, Ax and Smash reunited for several appearances at various independent shows and legends conventions.[1]
Randy Colley and Bill Eadie created the Demolition gimmick and worked for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). They debuted as a heel tag team on the January 17, 1987 edition of Superstars, alongside manager Luscious Johnny V, defeating the team of Salvatore Bellomo and Mario Mancini.[9] Resembling Lord Humungus of the 1981 film Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, And the facepaint of hard rockers KISS. Demolition wore studded black leather outfits and leather-covered hockey masks to the ring, which they removed to reveal face paint usually made up of some combination of black, white, red, or silver colors, though other colors were sometimes included. After only a few matches, Colley was replaced with Barry Darsow in a match aired on the February 14, 1987 edition of Superstars. In an RF Video shoot interview with Eadie and Darsow, Eadie claimed that Colley was replaced because he was recognizable to the fans as the man who previously performed as Moondog Rex. The WWF pitched a few potential replacements to Eadie, but he felt fans would recognize the suggested replacements. Eadie felt that many WWF fans would not recognize Darsow, who left Jim Crockett Promotions following a dispute in order to take over the role of Smash.[1][4][5][8]
On the March 14 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, Demolition participated in a battle royal, won by Hercules Hernandez.[11] Demolition became known for their aggressive style in the ring and the way that they dominated their matches. Their first feud was with the team of Ken Patera and Billy Jack Haynes, which started after Ax and Smash brutalized WWF jobber Brady Boone (billed in storyline as the cousin of Billy Jack Haynes) during a televised match. Demolition claimed victories over all of the established face tag teams in the WWF at the time, including the Killer Bees (Jim Brunzell and B. Brian Blair), The Rougeau Brothers (Jacques and Raymond), British Bulldogs (Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith),[12]The Young Stallions (Paul Roma and Jim Powers),[9]The Islanders (Haku and Tama),[9] and Can-Am Connection (Rick Martel and Tom Zenk).[12] Around that same period, Johnny Valiant (who left not too long afterwards) "sold" their contracts to Mr. Fuji who became their manager.
Demolition made their pay-per-view debut at Survivor Series in an elimination tag team match where 5 babyface teams faced 5 heel teams. Demolition was part of the heel group and the face team went on to win the match.[13]
At WrestleMania IV, Ax and Smash defeated Strike Force (Rick Martel and Tito Santana) to win their first WWF Tag Team Championship. Ax struck Martel in the back of the neck with Fuji's cane while he had Smash in a Boston crab (Fuji had dropped the cane into the ring while taking a beating from Santana who carried on oblivious to what was happening in the ring). Martel was knocked out and Smash covered him for the pin while Ax hid outside with the cane.[1][14][15] As champions, they defeated a number of the top teams of the WWF, which at the time had a very talent-rich and hotly contested tag division, most notably the British Bulldogs[1][16] and Hart Foundation (Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart).[1][17][18]
Their first big challenge came in the summer of 1988, when the Powers of Pain (The Warlord and The Barbarian) entered the WWF and challenged them for the Tag Team Championship. During the elimination tag team match at Survivor Series, Mr. Fuji attacked Demolition and joined forces with the Powers of Pain. A double turn took place as Demolition turned face while the Powers of Pain turned heel.[19][20] Demolition defeated the Powers of Pain & Mr. Fuji in a tag team handicap match at WrestleMania V to retain the WWF Tag Team Championship when they caught Fuji in the "Demolition Decapitation".[21] Prior to this, Ax and Smash also memorably squared off against each other as entrants #1 and #2 in the Royal Rumble match at the Summit in Houston in 1989, tearing into each other for the full two minutes before being joined in the ring by the third entrant Andr the Giant, where they once again joined as Demolition and targeted the big man.[22]
After WrestleMania V, Demolition started a feud with the Brain Busters (Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard), who were the members of the heel stable The Heenan Family, led by none other than Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. On the May 27, 1989 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, the Brain Busters defeated Demolition by disqualification.[23] Demolition became the longest reigning WWF Tag Team Champions after breaking the record of The Valiant Brothers (Jimmy and Johnny), and lasting a reign of 478 days.[24] They finally dropped the titles to the Brain Busters in a two out of three falls match on the July 29 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event.[1][25] Demolition started a feud with Andr the Giant and the Twin Towers (Akeem and The Big Bossman). At SummerSlam 1989, King Duggan and Demolition defeated Andr and the Twin Towers in a six-man tag team match.[26] Demolition focused on regaining the tag titles and restarted their feud with the Brain Busters. On the November 4 edition of Superstars (taped on October 2), Demolition defeated the Brain Busters to regain their tag titles and win their second WWF Tag Team Championship.[1][9][27]
Demolition next feuded with the new Heenan Family team, the Colossal Connection (Andr the Giant and Haku). On the December 30 edition of Superstars (taped on December 13), Demolition lost the tag titles to the Colossal Connection.[1][9] At WrestleMania VI at the Skydome in Toronto, Demolition defeated the Colossal Connection to regain the titles and win their third and final WWF Tag Team Championship, and finally put an end to their feud with the Heenan Family.[1][28][29] Due to his deteriorating physical condition, Andr never tagged in during the match with Haku facing Demolition on his own.
Shortly after WrestleMania VI, the team gradually began to turn heel again. This intensified when Brian Adams debuted in WWF and joined the team as Crush.[1][6][30] In kayfabe it was claimed that this was a heinous scheme to gain a three-on-two advantage over other tag teams, but it was actually because Eadie had developed an allergy to shellfish (which he attributed to his frequent trips to Japan) which hospitalized him, and WWF owner and head booker Vince McMahon wanted to add a third member to the team just in case the illness put Eadie out of action for an extended period of time.[31]
Crush soon took a more active role, teaming with Smash while Ax faded into the background, becoming more of a manager. At this time Demolition used the "Freebird rule" to allow any two members to wrestle the matches. Smash and Crush defended the titles in the summer of 1990. On the July 28 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, Smash and Crush defeated The Rockers (Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty) to retain the titles[1][32] after Ax interfered on their behalf and attacked Michaels.[33] The next month at SummerSlam, however, Demolition lost the titles to Hart Foundation in a two out of three falls match. In that match, Smash & Crush started, but Ax secretly came down later on to substitute himself into the match behind the referee's back. Ultimately, the Legion of Doom (Hawk and Animal),[1][34][35] who had signed with the WWF a month earlier, interfered and snuffed out the deception. Demolition never recaptured the titles after this loss.
