Ok i worked doing landscaping and yardwork all summer, well I either had to pick up doing drywall for a company, or merge into the fast food world. I start at Sonic Americas Drive In. This saturday at 4:30 pm. No more wednesday night halo matches with the boys, and no more wasted friday nights... atleast not as early now. But a real job here I come.

WTF, why give up the drywall job? You could be making REAL money, learning a VERY valuable trade, and had your Friday nights to boot!
BTW, some people for actually pay money that kind of workout!

I agree. There is more to doing drywall well than slinging burgers. It would be a worthwhile experience that could be used later in life.

Right.
you dont think ive ever done it? i havent done a crapload of it, but ive helped my father with it a lot.
you bring down the drywall, cut it if necessary with a razor blade, snap in half. put up, use drywall screws ever 16" or 12" to hit the stud.
then you plaster over the screw holes, use the drywall tape in the cracks, plaster that, then sand the plaster. repeat if necessary.
ok.... super difficult part???

you're
you're silly. you may be able to "do drywall" but you can't do drywall great. A great drywall job is so important in building a house and you have to look for an experienced master drywall worker. It takes knowledge, skill, and finesse to do a good on on drywalling. It is one of those things that takes time to learn the craft and all the little tricks that let you do a good job.
Well Billy, I guess you'd consider about 90% of your buddies on this forum to be weak, then!

Even that isn't what makes it "difficult". The difficult part is doing all that QUICKLY! If you can't blow the jobs out in a hurry, you won't be in business for long. You can do it right, AND fast, but that takes experience. That experience could pay big bucks in the end.

Look, please dont go trying to act like the big man here on ATOT. Ayone who spends all day hanging drywall on a ceiling without using supports or jacks is going to be sore at the end of the day. The pieces are heavy, no doubt about it. Holding these up for a few minutes each while they are secured can kinda suck.
Believe me, I have done this many a time, and I guarantee I am stronger than the bulk of people here.
I agree. I didn't completely give up my drywalling and basic home repair jobs. Just it's really slow this time of year and I needed something that would give me a steadier income. I can work all my other jobs around that. Just I'm self employeed in the home repair thing. Get those jobs by word of mouth, and it kinda slowed. It'll pick back up this summer... always does. Just thought its funny i'm in the fast food bisiness 🙂.... someone asked my age... 17, i turn 18 on march 20th
rpbri2886, i challenge you on that.
and yes 4x12 sheets of sheetrock are some heavy S.O.B's and when its just a 3 man crew doing that. i'd much rather be the one nailing it up than one of two holding it up.. ceilings are a b*tch to. but we do use little scaffels.
