Stanstead, Quebec / Derby Line, Vermont.
I bought a sheet of 4' x 4' "cull" drywall from HD.
(that's what they salvaged from sheets that are dropped by people)
for $4
I cut them up and fit it in the ceiling.
Sounds easy.. but my shoulders are dead after numerous times of lifting, fitting, and repeat.
