drywalling
Hanging gypsum panels
Drywalling is the work of installing drywall—large panels of gypsum plaster sandwiched between paper—to create interior walls and ceilings.
The term covers the whole process: measuring, cutting, hanging the sheets, taping the seams, and applying joint compound to create a smooth surface ready for paint.
Someone who does this professionally is a drywaller.
We spent the weekend drywalling the basement.
