Re: Drywall Business Is It Good Or Bad
I'm taking this slow down as an opportunity to go back to school.
I'm in my second quarter of my Associates Degree in Computer Drafting and Design then it's another two years for my BS in Construction Management. I'm also from Hawaii and did my apprenticeship in 745. When I'm done with school I'll be coming home working in the office for Hawaiian Dredging. |

Re: Drywall Business Is It Good Or Bad
Business in LA is rockin'
![]() Just kidding, couldn't resist. It's slowed down out here as well according to my main sheetrock sub. Says he's getting larger, fewer jobs. Don't know what to attribute that to. |

Re: Drywall Business Is It Good Or Bad
definitely a slow-down here in the kootenays, havnt had a call in a few weeks and my biz is advertised everywhere, luckily we're a small crew so when we land a house to board/tape/prime/paint it will last us a couple weeks...but after this house, who knows what will happen...

Re: Drywall Business Is It Good Or Bad
We are busy. A 1000 sheet job going, three houses nearly ready, two churches this fall and a large police station. Have to keep on my best behavior so they don't keep me... We are very fortunate. We have worked every week at least forty hours. Nine of us. So... Thankful, to say the least!

Re: Drywall Business Is It Good Or Bad
so tell us more about the po-po drywall job..what's the filler in the cavity?
I once saw a few former felons do a drywall job in a police station. Before they put the drywall and mud it, they made a deposit #2 into the cavity..... Offcourse i was there doing the electrical using non-felon labor compared to the drywall crew (martinez construction company) |
