Hard work but getting paid well is ever so sweet.

I hate hanging drywall :mad:
I don't mind hanging drywall but the job I have to do is drywalling a closet. It's that cutting the shit into little pieces and then having to work in a tight space to put it all together that I can't stand.

that's funny. I would have preferred to be eating wings than reading this crap
or taking crap 'cause I read this crap and don't like reading this crap.
If ever I had talked to my momma that way I'd have no teeth.
Therein lies the problem. Kids now-a-days grow up on the street or in front of their tubelike apparatuses
and nobody beats their asses to a pulp.

"Spare the rod spoil the child" So junior grows up thinking he can give anybody shit and get away with it.
My old lady's kid was like that until some stranger taught him manners by beating the daylights out of him
'and making his face three times it's size for a week. I warned her about it too.
"Fix him before some stranger does it" I said. But nooooooooooooooo.

I've learned one thing in my many years on this old planet.
It's a small world. One day I'll be innocently minding my own business and as if by
magick, I'll turn around and find a fishee making wings :p
These words were playing in my head as I read your post? Not sure why but they did.
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, he steals a car,
He tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto​

Starting to get my vape mail delivered to my friends house out in the country since I've been having so much trouble with mail disappearing here. Have three juices coming from something called Mitten Vapes. They were running a 75% off sale, lol, have to love the forums to find deals like this.

Spent two days painting an apartment, now I have to start a drywall project. Backbreaking work but I don't mind the $30 an hour.
I owned a Drywall company in my other life. If you run into issues PM me. If you already know what your doing plz disregard this. just trying to be helpful...

I always laugh when I shave poodles.

No, that's a lie. I have only shaved one poodle. I did not enjoy it. I think the poodle was happy though!
poodles are tough. we have a bichon frise, the breed was developed out of poodles and water spaniels.
same kind of fur as poodles, a pain to mow through even with well oiled new blades

I gave up and pay an itinerant groomer to do it.
I cut my kid's hair. used to cut mine also

Yeah I know what I'm doing. Put myself through a couple of years of college nearly thirty years ago drywalling for one of the biggest realty companies in Chicago. They paid me cash off the books so they wouldn't have to hire union labor and I got to make my own timesheets and recorded every hour that I slept on the job since I was so fast at it. People think a little closet is no big deal and should be cheap, but for the time it takes me to measure and cut all that shit up and do that little itty bitty closet, I could drywall an entire freakin' room. I still make my own timesheets, lol, so I'll make sure I get paid properly.

Cool. Would you build a dead man or buy/rent a drywall jack if you were doing a 12x 10 bedroom ceiling?
If you had done a shit job compounding when you replaced your bedroom ceiling
after the roof leaked, the water filtrated into the ceiling wallboard and it came crashing down on your head one day...
while you were already sick as shit and dying...ladder slipped and you fractured two legs and sat there for over a half hour asking for help from your wife and kid but they couldn't hear you over the fucking TV in the living room
so you just sat there in pain, unable to fucking move with your two fractured legs stuck between the ladder's rungs..
and eventually when your legs healed you finished the job but didn't feel like it so you did shit work...

Boy, I'm having a gestalt here...
So, if you did that..and part of your ceiling is like not level with the rest...
would ya
a. Try to even it out with compound?
b. lay furring and new board over the uneven old ceiling and popcorn?

Make ready to sell situation/

I use to be a 'cuda shark type piranha fuck shit up and eat your face off kind of fishee.
But I daily try to put that fishee in the past.
Now I"m a cuddly fishee that likes to be petted and fed multi-colored flakes.

Years ago I took on a flood damage sheetrock basement project. It was still fresh, mold not being an issue.

String lined 2 ft up every room cut and removed then left fans going for a few days. Replaced it all, taped and mudded it like I knew what I was doing. Boss lady/owner of the home came home while it was raining it's ass off and was so impressed with what I did.

While she was looking around and just trying to find something wrong but couldn't, rain started coming though the walls again like wild fire. I'm freaking out for her trying to unplug the drain full of hard muck, years of shit with no luck. Something that should of been addressed first.

She handed me a check for the work I did in a foot or more of water with an almost suicide look in her eyes as I ran to the bank.

no i did not know that. but good to know :)
No, it really isn't... I personally don't understand what the attraction is in it. I mean I don't watch porn very often, but it seems like the last couple of times I have that it's all about extreme stuff that I couldn't imagine doing with someone else so it ends up being a turn off instead of a turn on.

I'd rather do a small room rather than a closet too. I'd charge the same...Most folks dont completely finish the front side of closets but I always do. The old man who trained me stuck me in closets finishing them out for what seemed to be forever. I finished out bedroom closets like they were the Taj Mahal. I learned a lot that summer for sure. I was 18, It was July in Tn.. Record heat wave and that 55 yr old man taught me how to work. May be I'm just becoming one of those "Get off my lawn" type guys but I find it very hard to believe that todays young men would work as hard as Me and my buddies did. I really wanted to learn a trade and was horrified at the notion of being laid off or fired. I gave it my all every single day. Dam kids today wont have any of that...:(

Actually.......It was Satan that was seen. ;)
Thought I was an invincible little Fishee and had dosed numerous past times.
But 10 doses of vitamin A at one time made the Fish brain break on through to the other side.
It was never the same after that. Nothing really was. In fact took a good three yrs to finally level off and mellow out.
Never was fun again after that :eek:

So I fell in love with a little mushroom with a blue stem instead o_O

Cool. Would you build a dead man or buy/rent a drywall jack if you were doing a 12x 10 bedroom ceiling?
If you had done a shit job compounding when you replaced your bedroom ceiling
after the roof leaked, the water filtrated into the ceiling wallboard and it came crashing down on your head one day...
while you were already sick as shit and dying...ladder slipped and you fractured two legs and sat there for over a half hour asking for help from your wife and kid but they couldn't hear you over the fucking TV in the living room
so you just sat there in pain, unable to fucking move with your two fractured legs stuck between the ladder's rungs..
and eventually when your legs healed you finished the job but didn't feel like it so you did shit work...

Boy, I'm having a gestalt here...
So, if you did that..and part of your ceiling is like not level with the rest...
would ya
a. Try to even it out with compound?
b. lay furring and new board over the uneven old ceiling and popcorn?

Make ready to sell situation/
Get the jack... trust me..

I would try to find someone to help me hang it. Another human BUT if thats not possible the Home depot rents a nice model for cheap or you can buy a china deluxe from harbor freight for about 200bucks http://www.harborfreight.com/drywall-panel-hoist-69379.html and if my old ceiling had popcorn on it i would spray it down lightly with water in a pesticide pump sprayer, wait 20 minutes for saturation, and scrape it off. Then you can see what needs to be fixed OR you can retexture with a more modern look...Something like a Stomp texture that will cover a multitude of Sins http://www.all-wall.com/Categories/...6YTFi1Ei_yzlm8b86yUYYIGDVmTcOOf9EcaAg8V8P8HAQ and here it is in action...

I always stick up for what is right... BS doesnt go very far with me. What that was back there, was wrong.

No worries..
Your absolutely right. makes me think there's at least one troublemaker working behind the scenes stirring up the shit. Gunning for the pretty redhead...Somethings going on for a dude to be able to talk all menacing like that and it just get swept under the rug like it never even happened. And That Delete the post shit is Exactly what the other place did. And..... I'm done..

In my case it was a girl named Pete.
