   I think a lot of Dwallers work sq ft of wall.  but watching the forums here, the price varies a lot in different areas.  Should be slightly higher than hanging.  If it is sq ft, it can also be looked at by the sheet, assuming a standard size.  ex 25/ sheet hang and finish, which I think they mean 8ft sheets, or 32sqft.

   As I mentioned in my delivery question thread...  I can finish drywall, I have done it before, I can even do a decent job and I have the tools.  Trouble is, I don't have the time and I (dw) don't want the house in limbo for the months of weekends and evenings it would take me to do it. 

   I am planning on using the area under the stairs to teach my ten year old the basics of finishing.  He helped my hang in there and I'm planning on doing the higher areas and just turn him loose on the lower areas.  Should be a good experience for him.  Then he can paint it however he likes as it will be his secret play area.Rob

   I paid some guys $200 to do tape and mud my 8x12 front porch that I recently made into finished space.  I hung the drywall and then they came in and did their thing.  They were doing the drywall in the basement at the time.
