You should probably ask this in Spanish.

It's funny. One of the first things I do when I sit on someone's couch is look up at their ceiling. If there is ever a frick up with dry wall. It's sure to be there

Out. I actually enjoy sheetrocking.

I have seen some trashy things on the OT, but bragging about your ability to install and float sheetrock might be one of the trashiest hahaha

I can't imagine how bad you'll frick up the taping, floating of the joints, mudding corners, and ceiling texture.
Drywall mudding and texture is a true art that takes time to learn.
That is why I am usually the monkey hanging the sheetrock. I let people with the "know how" do the taping, floating, etc.

It is the one thing I didn't mind spending money on when we redid our bathroom. The plumbing and electrical I had to spend money on because I don't want problems with water or electricity. But all of the teardown, framing, and other stuff I did myself. I didn't want all that hard work to look like shite because I got cheap with the walls.

DIY wallboard skills are much in demand after a hurricane. I know how to use a chainsaw, too. Does that also make me "trashy"?

It's a good skill to know and I did it while being a full time college student, so please continue to stereotype.

I think you'd be surprised at the income that some independent contractors, such as drywall guys make. A lot of the forty thousand dollar millionaire types on here are all about the nouveau riche snobbery towards people that work for a living.
I know a guy that grossed $385k last year installing and repairing overhead doors, and he looks like the sterotypical Joe Sixpack, laughing his way to the bank.This post was edited on 11/26/14 at 10:14 am

The side with the printing on it goes next to the studs. Are you sure you're quite prepared to be installing dry wall?

Yep.. I can hang sheetrock with no issues. But I SUCK at mudding. When I do it you can see every seam. So I then cover it with wallpaper or texture.

Are you sure you read the part where I clearly said it was my father in law that did it?

Honestly, I would think that a trailer has too much flex in the frame and that would cause drywall would crack...most times I have seen some type of wallboard used in trailers with a little strip tacked over each seam....

Is that where the term "tacky" comes from?

It has sheetrock walls throughout the whole thing.
He had to replace 2 panels after a guest of a member put bird shot through the wall when he was cleaning his "unloaded" gun.
I wish he would've taken pictures.

This is all starting to sound like the guest's problem now! However, I'll assume that if he's a hunter and doesn't know how to clear his weapon, he probably can't do drywall.
