  • union drywallers don't suck.. i know lots of union drywallers that can work circles around non union guys and they can do it all from framing to doing t-bar to hanging board .. drywall is a rough trade and it wears on your body ...if you want any kind of life after drywall smarten up and get into a union ..more money good benefits and a pension ...beats alot of jobs out there.. and no one can take a trade away from you..

  • And yet all Americans wonder why there buildings fall down in a hurricane? And why the only thing standing is the chimley stack....

  • who cares if you're a female. unless you're the size of a gorilla you can't lift more than a man.

  • lets run some 12 5/8 all day long lol

  • @deedogg83

    ever hung that purple sound board? its over 200 lbs a sheet

  • only takes a couple of weeks to learn?what the hell was i doing then??better check my paperwork???

  • listen union boy, you're right, anyone who does construction for a living, isnt a pussy. but you do construction, like a femaile engineer does construction. piece work ftw....pussys join the union, men work by the foot. sink or swim girls, and i guess we know which you are.

  • you can't really compare the 2 both union and piece work have there ups and downs i notice pieceworkers usually do mainly straight walls with 10 or 12 foot sheets so they can get more sheets up faster were as union have to do more precision cuts sometimes with 10 foot sheets up a good 40 feet. and I've seen both union and pieceworkers having partners 1 to prep and put the sheet in place and 1 to screw it down.

  • Union's about the benefits.. we'll see how well your employer looks after you on a non union vs a union job. The truth is that there are more fatalities in the non union sector when compared with the union sector. Its a lot safer to work union, you don't have to worry about paychecks coming in on time, you get a pension instead of a 401k. Your whole family gets health coverage. As far as my limited experience goes: union drywallers tend to be faster and more efficient and make fewer mistakes.

  • @zapatista512 lol are you for fukn real.... union drywallers suck . 

  • @josef1978 thats how work should be, taking your time and not being in a hurry hanging drywall. it was all good till mexicans came and screwed the whole drywall labor. the union should take over all drywall jobsites.

  • @josef1978 that why ur ass is sitting at home and im happily working!!! Yes im working and all my mexican buddies drywalling, taping, painting, and doing carpentry also. Union pride!! We dont want your WHITE lazy ass working here cuz all you fuckers do is talk shit online but when it comes to being at the job site none of you guys open your fucking mouths, all you guys do is to do what the mexican foreman tells your ass to do. HAHA!!!

  • @osorio215 ive never seen a mexican foreman

    you must be in a right to work state or right to work for next to nothing state.

  • LMFAO! Johnzam as no clue! get the brush an clean up

  • HILTI 4 EVER!

  • I love listerning to old timers talking about how they dont like stand-ups, I bet your still building your studs out of timber!

  • this is funny shit to me. weeks to learn? rofl

    I have been doing this shit for 10 years commercial construction.

    those guys suck.

  • good man. i do spakle job for long time,if u need a someone to do that let me know :)

  • Standups are ALWAYS used in commercial construction. Ceilings are usually 9 feet or higher and made from T bar. This has been the norm for over 40 years.

    My problem is with these dum asses saying that drywall only takes a few weeks to learn. Ya if one mexican is teaching another... I went through 4 years of apprenticeship and then finally lost my job to Jose and Rico....

  • OMG That sucks! It's too bad these damn latinos are taking over the construction industry.

  • They are not latinos... A latino is an itatlian... They are fucking mexicans./..

  • a latino is a mexican, not an italian.

  • Latino is a general term for people of Spanish/ Mexican/Italian / whatever the fuck else going in there

  • times have change evolve or move over there always some one right behind you.

  • This is halarious, stand ups, all stand ups how backwards.

  • yes mate how funny

    so u only do house's then eh

    go on a comercial job johnyray and see how it's done

    the only funny thing about this is the person saying a few weeks to learn PMSL

    bin on the gyprock or drywall for over 27 yrs and im still learnin new stuff

    not evey day but evey now and then

    thers always some 1 with a new idea

    i even have a few

  • Well actually i have been on commericial jobs, we only usually do stand ups if it's sound bar. We have done stand ups before, but our tapers are kind of picky and they like doing it easy, so we start from the ceiling down. laying them down.

  • as a taper<< or finisher as i am have been on the tools way to long

    gave up hanging yrs ago thats a monkeys job

    i prefer laydowns also but when your limited on access and sheet lenght ill take standups over butt joins anyday

    done and dusted

  • ya u never learn everything, but u learn the basics in a few weeks and its up to the person and the way he thinks to how fast he'l pick the rest up.. the guy teaching a person can only do so much no matter how much he knows.. but all these guys.. u see them standing around. im my own boss and im on the tools 24/7 and if i saw them standing around like that they wud get it, u dont need one person to hold sheet.. then one to screw.. and throw away single shots. collated is the way^^

  • awesome
