Doesn't Get Any Easier Than This...


Why do you guys make drywall finishing seem so difficult? Anyone can do it, just look at these four simple steps. You don't even need words.




I wonder if they would be willing to do some drawings for framing roofs. See if they can get rafter layout and placement down to three pictures.

I love the way companies make everything seem so simple. I sat in a meeting one day bidding a ICF project and the architect was there, when we were negotiating the price with the owner the architect said he would supervise some guys he knew and do the job a hell of a lot cheaper than I was charging it was just stacking blocks and pouring concrete, I turn to him and said I was leaving and going to Staples because for $ 29.00 I was now an architect!!! The owner asked him to leave the room and I got the job.

I love the pictures for the "Magic Trowel" knock down blade.
It showes a roller rolling mud on a joint being followed by a Magic Trowel. Only the edges have been feathered with a 6 or something between the roller and knock down blade! (Great knock down blade by the way) They claim something like: "if you can paint you can do drywall!"

(I tried to post a picture but it won't let me till I post 15 times....)
