Buchanan, J.,
dissenting.
1 agree with the trial court that this case is controlled by the Bosher case. Here Lindsey & Waldron contracted to construct houses in Carriage Hill Estates. The houses had to have inside walls, to be made of sheetrock. Lindsey & Waldron contracted with Cherrydale to supply the sheetrock. Burroughs was an employee of the trucking company employed by Cherrydale to deliver the sheetrock to rooms in the houses to be built by Lindsey & Waldron. Burroughs was therefore engaged in a work that was part of the trade, business or occupation of Lindsey & Waldron, and was therefore not “an other party” within the meaning of the Workmen’s Compensation Act.
