Sounds like somebody I used to know, they were overpaid though. ( At $4.50 an hour)

No offense man, but being drunk while working is not funny to me, esp as a business owner.

I cant tell you how nervous that makes me as a business owner while i am paying workers comp and disability, etc. for my employees. to be under the influence while working (especially hanging) is that LAST thing i need.

show up on the job sober, or dont come in at all.

and if you cant work sober, you may have your own issues to deal with.

bottomline, i have a hard enough time as it is running a business and 'babysitting' my employees.

i remember a story back in the day of a hanger working on a scaffold, 16' high (thank god it wasnt one of my guys).

the poor bastard was drunk, and fell off the scaffold.

died.

You must be drunk to be so happy about $5 an hour. I don't get the reggins thing? Please elaborate. Is that a Ronald Reagan thing?

5 bucks an hour?

you guys arent serious right?

...

here in canada the price does vary from province to province,but typically for boarding/ hanging its about 25 cents per board foot ,hourly is imbetween 25 and 32 an hour.I am a finisher and am currently working at 25 cents per foot for taping,5 cents for sanding and 80 cents per foot of bead they supply, i read someones post on here where they had said there hangers work for an average of 11 dollars per hour ,if so OUCH how do theese people even put food on there table here 11 an hour is starting wage for a completely green guy fresh out of high school.recession wise has there been some states that have prevailed over others?or has everything been equally hit?

Darren@Partners

It's pretty $#itty here in the mid-west. Some competitors are paying less than .08 to hang and less than .10 to finish. But that's only part ofthe disparity between here and Canada, the difference in the two's dollars and the higher taxes in Canada make up a huge part of the difference, coupled with the cost of living. But some guys around here are about to starve out. And aside from a warm-weather/tax-refund bump of late, it's not gonna get better soon. Am myself being forced to lower labor yet again this month.

I must be pretty dumb.

super rocker

I am amused by Custom Drywall .He obviously is not a drywall contractor, but a delusional egomaniac. If anything he said was true, he would not be hiding behind his computer and tell us who he is or where he is. If he has a stellar repution, he would happily tell all of us amateurs how to become drywall tycoons. I am wondering how many illegals he has and if he has unlimited access to all "drywall professionals ' in Mexico. I would gladly pay large sums of money to see Mr. Custom 's creative accounting and one of his beautiful drywall jobs. I am eager to see your next load of crap.

silverstilts

Egomaniac , Perhaps he is , so am I . there is something good to say about that , what do you think is the drive behind someone successful in their business ? If you don't have an ego and just sit by the sidelines you will not be successful ... It is the stupidity and ignorance of some that just because someone in the same field succeeds and you don't there are reasons.... nothing comes for free .... ya got to have some brass balls and not be jealous just because you don't have the drive..... give me some money and you can see my work and my accounting ....... in turn i would like to see your work only....we would see whats what than.... You have one post only and you start off by slamming us.... come on get a few posts under your belt first....

silverstilts

If you are serious I'd can you before you even started , and when someone talks or says things like you have there is always a certain amount of truth to it , kinda like bragging that your a drunk ,,, wouldn't be to proud of that..

well first off....

yes i am a drywall contractor.

and no i do not hire illegals. is that saying i dont have hispanics employed at my business? hell no. my business is full of em.

but are they all 100% legal......damn right.

and if youd like to see my work, please visit my website.

www.customdrywallservice.com

and if i was an egomaniac, i wouldve displayed that website 200 plus posts ago........but i havnt.

thank you. maybe after 200 posts ill start taking you serious.

and stilts is right....if you arent an egomaniac, than wtf are you. everyone is my friend.

but you either use it to your advantage or let it ruin you to the ground.

ive never stated i was a drywall tycoon 'super rocker'.....all i can do is share what methods have made our business succesful...thats all.

and you call me an egomaniac? ....with a name like 'super rocker?'

you gotta be the best hanger God created perhaps, i dunno.

i bet youre going to tell me next that the pictures on my website are fake.

Darren@Partners

Whats wrong with having a couple beers at work? I used to do it all the time, just a couple though, usually while scraping out.
