It works 24 hours a day. It doesn't care if it's 30 degrees out or if it's 100 degrees out. It doesn't sleep. It doesn't take breaks for food. It doesn't need to shite twice a day. If La Migra shows up, it doesn't give a frick.

It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely WILL. NOT. STOP. ever until it's finished hanging the drywall.

I wonder what the new excuses for lazy POSs will be when robots take over construction jobs.

Technology took America’s jobs?

Mine started at 7am one morning and didn’t leave my house until 1am the next morning to wrap up. It was damn impressive. Then he was back at 7am taping and floating

Not 24 hours...but enough to remind me how lazy I am.


That's called meth.

Robots will work 24/7 performing tasks like this, which will be a project manager's dream when quoting completion dates.

The future is pretty sick, but I don't think there is a substitute for a real craftsman. Could be wrong, maybe they will have 20+ of these robots doing flawless work building shite with incredible speed and accuracy...

No joke. Robots are very precise, but it takes a true craftsman to frame a building five degrees out of square.

I'll bet that thing comes with a 100k price tag and you have to have an 80k a yr guy to program it for every job.

This might break into the commercial market but it'll never see residential.

Right now they have robots for laying brick and they are 70k ea and you have to have a 100k mast climber to use it on.

Vertical joints... hard pass. That ceiling to wall transition is gonna look like shite.



Exactly what I was thinking. Floor to ceiling joints every 4 feet are going to look like shite, too.

Not when you have hat channels hanging horizontally across the studs. If you only had the studs perhaps but if they are at 16" oc it is perfectly acceptable, particularly if you can hang on piece vertically since it cuts down on butt joints which most guys can't tape and float correctly. It keeps the factory edge which is easier to work.

Until the day comes when a robot can get itself down to Home Depot and stand around in the parking lot until someone comes by to hire for the day Mexicans aint worried.
