I just posted this on my facebook business page Peck Drywall and Painting and wanted to share it with all of my new friends here on ActiveRain too. Photos were taken from my driveway in Indialantic, Florida (about 20 miles from the launch pads). The Atlas 5 rocket was carrying an Air Force experimental Mini Shuttle. It blasted off from Cape Canaveral Air force station at dusk as I was cooking dinner on the grill. In the last couple of photos you can see the stages of the rocket releasing and falling.

*Gypsum Wallboard / Drywall / Sheetrock*
Gypsum wallboard was first introduced in the 1920's, and it completed changed interior wall construction. This product is also known as drywall, or sheetrock. The name Sheetrock is a registered trademark of the U.S.Gypsum Co. There are many advantages of drywall over the traditional plaster wall covering methods. Gypsum wallboard is applied dry, as the name drywall implies, so no moisture need be introduced to the underlying structure during construction. You also don't waste time waiting for the plaster to dry, and construction can take place even in cold, moist weather periods. Other benefits: Drywall is less expensive and less labor intensive to install Finished wall interiors are easier to paint and maintain Weighs significantly less than plaster, putting less stress on structures Greater fire resistance that plaster- perhaps it's greatest benefit of all How Gypsum Wallboard is Made The raw material for drywall is gypsum, a whitish-grey mineral also known as calcium sulphate. This substance, mined from the ground, contains around 20% cystallized water, by weight, which gives gypsum wallboard the fire resistance it is known for. After being mined, then crushed and dried, the gypsum treated with a steam process called calcination, which removes much of the crystallized water. This takes about a half hour. The next step is add water and other ingredients to form Plaster of Paris (Named after a large gypsum deposit at Montmartre in Paris ). The plaster is then sandwiched between two sheets of specially treated paper to form the finished wallboard. Drywall Sizes Gypsum wallboard is available in many forms, but the most common is a ½ inch thick sheet, 4 feet wide by 8 feet long. Lengths run from 6 to 16 feet, but the longer non-standard sizes usually cost more per squre foot. Available thicknesses range from ¼ inch up to 5/8 in 1/8 graduations. As the sheets get thicker, the resistance to fire and soundproofing characteristics increase. Thicker drywall is also less to prone to sag when installed on ceilings. Types of Gypsum Wallboard A few of the different types of gypsum wallboard available are listed below: Type X, with increased fire resistance rating Vapor Barrier backing types, usually backed with foil to resist moisture Water Resistant Core wallboard, for use in kitchens and bathrooms Exteror wallboard, for use in exterior ceilings, soffits and eaves.

We recently used Peck Drywall & Painting to paint the exterior of our house and pool deck. Their quote was competitive, and they completed the work promptly and to a very high standard. They were courteous and professional from start to finish. We will use them for all of our future painting needs.

Peck provides high quality work at competitive pricing. I was impressed with the painting of the exterior of our home as well as the repair and staining to our pool deck. The company's employees were timely, courteous and professional. I found completion of the project to be timely with quality products. I solicit and manage contracted services in my professional career and would not hesitate to solicit proposals from this contactor for business or personal projects in the future.

Dear Paul: Thank you for a job well-done with my ceiling and wall repairs a few months ago.
My kitchen has finally been completed and I am now able to appreciate all the work that went into it.
Thanks for working with me in among all the other projects that were on-going at the time... you and your helpers certainly deserve recognition for such a thorough and perfected job.
It is gratifying to know that we still have professionals (like you) in our community doing this quality of work.. I would be happy to recommend you anytime.
Thanks again. Diane B. -Melbourne Village,Fl
We hired Paul and his company to paint the entire interior of our new home in Merritt Island and could not have been happier with our choice. We received quotes from many other painters and found this company to be the best of price. Our house looks great and his employees were professional, respectful, trustworthy and courteous while in our home. Definitely call Paul!!! Derrick and Tricia F. -Merritt Island, Fl
I have had a number of contractors do work on homes I have owned over the years and Peck Drywall and Painting is only the second that I would rate as completely professional. Beginning with an extremely user friendly well laid out website, promptness in giving an estimate for doing a knockdown textured ceiling and then scheduling and completing the job as well as cleaning up after themselves, the only thing I can say is professional, professional, professional. The bid for the job was very competitive and I would be very hard pressed to find anything to complain about.
Chuck P. -Melbourne Beach, Fl
Hi Paul,
We truly appreciate all the hard work that you and your team have put into the beautification of our home. We are so pleased with the results! At this time 2 neighbors and 1 co-worker will probably be giving you a call for quotes in the near future.
Best regards, Mike and Cathy -Viera, Fl
