We have walls! All the sheetrock is up and the taping/mudding of the sheetrock has begun. They have almost finished building the shower for our (master) bathroom.
For some reason building seems to have more dialect words than most things. In NZ you'd be gibbing (pronounced jibbing) not sheetrocking and the stuff you'd put up is called gib board (instead of sheetrock). My favourite NZ building word is dwang. Dwangs are the pieces of wood which go horizontally between the vertical studs in a wooden wall.
