Really unless you have actually have been here , walked in our shoes , and have seen the work here, how on earth can you back up what you stated ? Talk about arrogant just listen to yourself. What are you basing your quality on anyhow?

Re: US Tapers so far behind Europe


Don't ya just love how the brits speak for all of Europe. Here in Germany 85% of finishers do it by hand and its quality work. Then again what can you expect for a country that won't even adapt to the european union. The lone rangers of Europe gee that's why there Largest gypsum company sold out to the French. BPB(Certain Teed) So they could be a part of Europe. Oh I forgot he is a Scott thats a colony of Great Britian.

And mybe he should check his history and see where and when Drywall came to Europe from in the first place.

Jesus, (aiming at southern bible belt extremists here, sorry no. All ingrates)

You are backing the biggest polluters in the world that refused to sign up to the kyoto agreement and now only pay lip service to any doubters because of figurehead obama's desire to make history.

We lead Europe through common sense.

Hating your country is not a personal issue!!! Every nation considers you brash, cheap and unaccomplished, tacky fools best ignored unless a major movie is released, often sullied by u.s sickly sweet attitude....
In your words 'you get me'

You call baseball 'The world series'
**** you only play amongst yourselves (good idea) then proclaim the team world champions...


Too much singing of your superiority in a class as a child has fogged your reality.



Insular ingrate thieves with no history, style, only numbers.. sadly for the rest of the world... biggest economy handed to the least worthy to deal with it..

Re: US Tapers so far behind Europe


The "theory" is, when you are painted you don't see any joints... No matter the method. Yours is as "good" as mine. Mine is as "good" as yours. Makes no difference how you hide the joints, just hide them!

Re: US Tapers so far behind Europe


You keep "resting your case". You haven't made a case! You seem to be unable to state your "case". So what say you. After forty two years of finishing drywall, I would love to hear an educated man tell me the "theory".

Re: US Tapers so far behind Europe


I am open minded and able to "hear" you. I want to learn. In fact I would be honored to come to your place and work with you. Honest!! Would make me the happiest man on earth to go to UK and learn everything I could. About anything, not just drywall! But drywall would be top priority. I know I'm not the best, but I want to be better than I am today. And if you would teach me, I would be your best student.

Re: US Tapers so far behind Europe


When you overcome the 3000 steps, full bazooka and 10 and 12" in hand then you speak to the master.. (I hate the fact that you yanks are thinking about the kung fu, kill bill guy immediately)
Any way,

Thought you yanks didn't do irony. ;

Re: US Tapers so far behind Europe


You know Ray, you do make some good points here. I went back and read again from the begining. We as US citizens are arrogant for the most part and out political people spend way too much time and money sticking our noses in others' business. That isn't saying we commoners agree with that. For the most part that is a big reason our taxes are so high. But some of us are craftsmen and have the same pride in our work as you. And we work a lot of hours trying our best to be our best. The same as you, I think.

You can call me stupid if you want, but I have no clue what you are trying to say... 3000 steps? etc. Help me out here.
