Last weekend I got the bathroom, outside wall sheetrock up. I have been waiting for the contractor to come fix the ceiling (from when it leaked) before doing so, but it has gotten cold, and the wall lets in so much air (even with plastic up), that I could wait no longer.
Two cuts, two pieces of sheetrock up. Naturally the wall is over 4 feet wide. so had to use 2 whole pieces of sheetrock to do the job, but I got a nice tight fit to the corners. I did leave a small gap for the ceiling to be taken out - but just enough room. I didn't place screws at the very top, just in case I have to trim the wall down just a bit. And, I haven't done any taping or mudding until I am sure none of it has to come back down. However, I did get two coats of moisture and mildew resistant paint so the steam from my shower won't degrade it any while I am waiting to finish up.
On another note, methinks a contractor is not caring about the hold back and is uninterested in fixing his mistake. I may have to do something about that.
