Funny: drywall/construction stories.

this is not a story so much as a revenge plot. for any of you who have just been screwed by a client. i mean really screwed, not just a little bit because this one is mean. you take a mason jar. put in a piece of raw chicken and fill it full of milk. screw the cap on and hide it in the hot air supply. apparently when that thing explodes the stench is so foul and so permeating they will never get rid of it. this is all in theory. i read it in a magazine a long time ago. never had to try it.

Revenge plot... I don't like those. Like the time my sheet rockers $hit in the bathtub? yeah those are nice suprizes. I just put poly over it and left it for the plumber

BIL is a bricklayer. When he'd get the feeling he'd have trouble collecting, used a piece of glass in the flue between the flue tiles to block the draft. When he got his check he'd drop a 1/4 brick down the chimney to break the glass. Otherwise house would fill with smoke until they called him back to pay him.

Like that time the taper was taking a dump in an empty mud box that was placed in the tub. The home owner walked around the corner to witness what they thought a taper ****ting in their brand new tub. They didn't know about the box under his ass.

why is it that the bulk of tradesmen can't seem to go eight hours without s***ting themselves. we have an electrician who is like clockwork. he often appears at our jobs at ten a.m. with no reason for being there and then leaves the bathroom uninhabitable for the next hour.

its also fun to put a bead of caulking around the rim of someones toolbox before you close it .

Thats good , but can you just imagine what happens to someone on stilts when you pull the old ,but funny bangkok joke on them ? I was to young to know not to hit him with all I had . That day was not to great for him but now he knows the capital of Thailand.

Finewalls

Don't understand this one hjrdrywal. Maybe it's because I'm across the pond.

Whitey97

the capital is Bangkok.....(bang - cock) then you slug 'em in the junk

hjrdrywal

whitey knows what i'm talking about !!!!!!! that is some hilarious sh--.

Darren@Partners

Sounds like "Bag Tag" we play here. Smack the junk and call "You're IT"

Custom Drywall Svc.

OOH! this is classic.......awesome method, hahhaha!

one time, i got revenge by having my employees sneak on the generals jobsite who wasnt paying me........acting as normal laborers and misc. contruction workers.....

they would walk in with bags of cement, go to the bathroom....and pour em down the toilets -- then walk out.

4 days later, i drove by the jobsite and the foundation was ripped out.


...

basically, the generals job went from being 98% done......to repouring the foundation.

i never got paid -- but man, revenge is sweet.

i dont like to tell ppl that story necessarily, but felt it HAD to be shared hahahahaha.

Whitey97

I've done something like that, except to their personal house. A little fast set in the hot tub does wonders for the pump. Here it's pretty normal to have a hot tub. It's pretty sweet to drive by and see them pulling all the water out. my quote as I drive by, "don't f' with me"

Darren@Partners

Ever have an electrician who when trimming out, pulls at the edges of the box, requiring you to go back and detail every box? Or just be a real bi*** about a little mud in said boxes? Had the guys Quickset the boxes full in two or three kitchens.... End of problem.

your a prick, that **** hurts the hands like a slap in the face then makes me work three times madder but laughing my ass off cause of the punchline

today was a funny day, hired a few green guys and decided to show em the ropes myself instead of throwing them to the wolves (lead men on the crews) well i had one screwing and the other help carry and position with me while i cut.
showed my helper how to position the knife at the end of the tape and slide your finger down the edge,let him try on the 4 foot cuts and hey he was a natural,then showed him how to rip a strip off the length and push it off instead of cutting the back,as I'm doing this i see new guy number 2 in the corner of my eye hopping back and forth while screwing off the bottom sheets and almost busted a nut laughing he didn't want to miss the stud so in the squatted position he would hop back eye it up then hop forward and put in a screw he did this for every screw, went over and showed him how to rely on hand-eye coordination and in time he'd miss less,as I'm doing this i can see new guy number 1 in the corner of my eye ripping a strip problem being he cut the brown side and pushed off the white taking half of the paper with it, tried yelling no but it was to late then new guy number 2 starts hopping again and spears himself with his brand new never used keyhole saw about an inch into his thigh (never use a carpentry pouch for boarding )starts screaming like he he was a goner and i mean i lost it and threw em to the wolves.
was mad at the time but laughed my ass off throughout the rest of the day, I'll give em the rest of the week and re-evaluate em on Monday and if no improvement cut em loose.

We had a cub workin with us on a house and we were gonna go grab lunch, the cub said he didnt wanna go and that he would stay and keep spottin nails. I told em if he didnt have money for lunch i would get it but he insisted he wanted to stay, said he was gonna practice on the stilts spottin ceiling nails. He was in the garage so i swept it real quick so he wouldnt slide on gravel from drive way. We came back and he was setting down sayin hell never get on the d+mn stilts again, and that he didnt see how we did it so easy. I looked over at the stilts and the leg straps were not on, I asked him were they were and he didnt know what i was talking about, looked in the back of my truck and there they were, man we died laughin. He actually got half the garage ceiling done. We begged him to put em back on and show us how he did it, that sh*t was funny man

brdn_drywall

hahaaaa i woulda paid money to see him do that mudderman

Darren@Partners

Anybody ever have a rookie rock himself inside a closet? I wanted to leave him there, but cut him out. Still cant figure out how him could see to nail....

carpentaper

i would have paid to see that one. probably about five dollars. maybe five fifty.
