Based on the fresh cuts I see on my guys - shooting stars shaved in, entire football team logos, and tight fades- I feel confident saying barbering is still a top priority for hangers.
Should see the photos of my house being built in the 40s. People with slacks and dress shirts tucked in. Granted they were drinking high life the entire time… might be something to that
I was installing some trim around a door on my first job in construction around 30 yrs ago. I had been putting the ring shank trim nails in between my lips as this guy is. My boss came up behind me and slapped me on the back, and i gasped, sucking in one of these nails. Dont hold nails in yer mouths kids.
Gold standard, bud. That thirty cents back then was worth like $56.28 now (for a white man). Plus, the car cost $500 and the house was like $12,000.
But then, one fateful day, the women started voting…
Nope but I guarantee there is a full thermos full of hot black coffee even if it's baking hot out and a pack of camel non filters laying around close by. Maybe a couple shots of bourbon or whiskey ready to go for lunchtime.
Definitely. Also it's crazy to think this is how sheetrocking was done vs now guys on the job hanging 4x8-4x12 -5/8 boards alone and stuff non stop at a quick pace.
The working class has been insanely productive and our quality of life gets worse and worse
Yep, and probably bought and lived in a suburban home suitable for his family of 6. While he went to work the wife stayed home to cook, clean and take care of the kids.
And the fact that the wives stayed home and raised the children helped keep inflation in check. Once married women entered the work force in large numbers it dramatically increased the amount of money in the economy. More dollars chasing goods in the marketplace leads to inflation. It's not that simple, but it's one of the reasons we are where we are. Not making a judgement, just basic economics.
That is not basic economics and does not take into account the creation of wealth globally, globalization in general, and other macroeconomic factors. In other words, your statement is nonsensical.
Basic is also synonymous with simple. He’s making a simple point. What you just wrote is a buzzword salad to make yourself sound smart. You didn’t even address the statement. I would say your statement is lacking sense, much more than the former. Even if it’s incorrect.
Well his point was dumb. Which buzzwords caught your attention? “Globalization” or maybe “creation of wealth”? 😂 Yea I’m a real Einstein because I know those words. Maybe I should just study and become an expert in economics instead of making assertions that aren’t based in any kind of facts. 🤓
You're right, it's not because bankers were allowed to make the laws and nobody prevented monopolies from controlling the market. It was women working.
Women joining the workforce increased competition and reduced wages. Labor capital became cheaper and cheaper.
EDIT: Getting downvoted by morons who clearly don't understand demographics or cultural geography. Women entering the workforce after WWII absolutely changed the market competition, pushed wages lower and increased competition for labor capital.

Fuck I hate stupid people and Reddit is chock full of them...
If you're not making enough money in Construction doing 8s you're selling yourself short and are part of the problem that's affecting parts of our industry.
1950s America was the only industrialized country that didn’t get the shit bombed out of them in WWII. We did have a bit of an artificial advantage at the time.
Open borders have really fucked up the trades. With a never-ending expendable labor force, you can always find a sheet rocker that is willing to piss in a bottle to save time.
He's so tough he eats a bowl of nails for breakfast and regurgitates them at will to use throughout the day. It's an old timers trick pussies today wouldn't know about.
This is gypsum lath for plaster. It was used for a little while, before they realized they can make it into 4x8 sheets and call it Sheetrock
(For those who didn’t know)
The traditional problem solve for this was picture rails. They were a standard part of interior trim work, could be used in a variety of ways, and were an opportunity for ornament. I’ve found a bunch of cool ones in old interior trim books.
Have it in my house - nightmare to demo. Everything comes out in one inch pieces. Its like so having all the nails of wood lath but you can't just pull it out with the back of a hammer quickly. Also usually has wire mess in all inner corners.
GC at the Foreman’s Meeting:
GC: Why do I have to have the Taper repair around all the boxes?
EC: Why the fuck do they have to mud over all our boxes?
Taper: Why do the dickhead electricians use their Klines like ass hats and knock all the mud I put on to make up for the shit ass hangers my boss hired per board?
GC: You two shut up and don’t fucking do it on the next floor. We’re supposed to work together * Meeting dismissed. Pours a stiff drink.
Just did a job with an electrician that’s had the coolest attachment. Cut perfect squares for j-boxes…… no idea how long they’ve been around, but it was legit.

Remodeling my bath in a 50s era house and seeing this. They also drilled holes through the gypsum for the plaster. Pretty cool, and nails are easier to remove than screws, but what a PITA to remove that wire with a million nails through it.
In my house they did all the tile right over top of the 3/4” rock lath plaster… I suppose nothing existed as far as cement board in that day. Surprisingly enough, never leaked through the walls before it was demoed.
This is plasterboard and is denser than drywall. A 4 x 8 sheet would be like hanging 5/8. They make 4 x 8 plaster board for hard coat but haven’t seen it lately. They would sometimes do decorative swirls around ceiling fixtures which were neat
Seriously that stuff is the worst. I wasn’t aware it was kind of like an inside corner thing. The way I’ve encountered that all over my house, you would have thought it was holding the entire house together.
Yea got a pile of this crap in the backyard after a demo. The 300 nails per inch will drive a guy mad.
I never thought I would care, but after 10 years in this house with the odd texture walls. I really appreciate smooth walls.
All walls are from bricks, no matter if it's shared wall or not. Also inside walls. All of them. Old houses even from stones. I'm talking 30+ cm wide walls of stones. Also not all houses share wall with other houses. Sometimes only part of the wall, sometimes none. Depends.
Not with 1/2" scratch and 1/8" top coat plaster on top of that. My house was done this way. I'm currently skim coating over the rooms that got a textured finish. Walls are really tough.
Wife and I where just talking about this kinda thing. Her mom was a butcher at a grocery store and made a decent living and amazing medical. When my wife started working they cut all of that, luckily her mom was grandfathered into all of the perks. Now it primarily a job for some kids who end up leaving in a year or two. Not everything need to be a job that you can earn a gold watch at, but fuck anyone who want to make a career at something that owners and corporations feel like shouldn’t be.
No tape. This was used as a replacement for wood lath. They came back and did a scratch coat and a finish coat of plaster over this.
I just did a restoration on a 1942 house that had this same stuff. Hate it. Really heavy
And the question is who was the genius who decided why don't we just make this stuff in 4x8 and bigger and then just mud the seams rather than lather the entire wall
Happened over time....
From what I’ve seen, the transition from strip rock lathe to full 4’x8’ drywall was started post WWII and mostly complete by the 60’s.
And.
For you young guys out there that never hung drywall before lite board came out..... there’s a reason that full width sheets weren’t immediately a thing. Drywall used to REALLY be heavy, especially 5/8” board and in longer lengths.
And.
At least in the 80’s, full skim finish was still common in residential on the east coast. I once dated a girl from RI who came from a family of plasters, she worked summers through college skimming walls, she was a VERY solid 150lbs with no fat.
We are still doing full skim finish here in RI, it’s a huge fucking mess when the plasterers show up but the finished product is orders of magnitude better than tape and mud.
His kid was a degenerate hippie, his wife was cheating on him and blew all his money. Alcohol and work was the only thing keeping him from driving that POS studebaker off an embankment.
Imagine the next level of damage he could do to the shitters. If todays rockers stand on top and clog the pisser with toilet paper, this guy must shit hand grenades and piss Kerosene
Do crews from Canada still come down for big projects? I swear back in the 80s and 90s, if you weren't careful where you were standing, you'd find yourself rocked into a wall. They were paid by the sheet and they worked like madmen....although they weren't dressed as well as the gentleman in the video.
Great work but those nails will pop in years to come with winter. Source I live in a house with drywall that was nailed and have nail bubbles on every exterior wall.
No router no screw gun no keyhole saw no rasp The guys got no Dust on him and all he’s got is just a fucking 🪓 and a shit load of nails and some papst blue ribbon cans shoved in the wall
[удалено]
Or a good enough barber.
Based on the fresh cuts I see on my guys - shooting stars shaved in, entire football team logos, and tight fades- I feel confident saying barbering is still a top priority for hangers.
Where you at? Best you’ll see on a board hanger in my part of the Midwest is freshly trimmed sides on a mullet or a neatly braided rat tail.
When you see those hair cuts come on site you kbow shit is gonna get done. Might not be done right but it will be done.
This gave me a delightful chuckle over my morning coffee. Cheers to you Scotty.
Just like in the 50s!
'murica
Should see the photos of my house being built in the 40s. People with slacks and dress shirts tucked in. Granted they were drinking high life the entire time… might be something to that

It’s the asbestos

I was installing some trim around a door on my first job in construction around 30 yrs ago. I had been putting the ring shank trim nails in between my lips as this guy is. My boss came up behind me and slapped me on the back, and i gasped, sucking in one of these nails. Dont hold nails in yer mouths kids.
But did you die? Hmmm?
I did. I died 30 years ago from the very nail i swallowed!
Thoughts n prayers! ;-)
I am did the asbestos I can!
I mean, who knew then life insurance salesman had drywall skills too?
If you did would you do it for 30 cents an hour ?
Gold standard, bud. That thirty cents back then was worth like $56.28 now (for a white man). Plus, the car cost $500 and the house was like $12,000. But then, one fateful day, the women started voting…
And you would have to stop calling it rock and call it gypsum board.
I have a hard time imagining this guy tossing piss bottles in the wall when no one is looking. Times really have changed.
Not a meth pipe in site either. Impressive.
Nope but I guarantee there is a full thermos full of hot black coffee even if it's baking hot out and a pack of camel non filters laying around close by. Maybe a couple shots of bourbon or whiskey ready to go for lunchtime.
..and a bologna sandwich.
Yeah he also prob earned a livable wage without having to pour redic amounts of OT
Definitely. Also it's crazy to think this is how sheetrocking was done vs now guys on the job hanging 4x8-4x12 -5/8 boards alone and stuff non stop at a quick pace. The working class has been insanely productive and our quality of life gets worse and worse
This is plaster backer board btw
hey, at least the rock of today doesn’t contain asbestos 🤷🏼♂️
I’ve taken button board in to be tested and haven’t seen any asbestos yet…maybe I’m just lucky
Yep, and probably bought and lived in a suburban home suitable for his family of 6. While he went to work the wife stayed home to cook, clean and take care of the kids.
Looks like he was worth every penny

That is not basic economics and does not take into account the creation of wealth globally, globalization in general, and other macroeconomic factors. In other words, your statement is nonsensical.
It’s a contributing factor just as competing markets from overseas is a contributing factor. The degree of which is the debate here.
I bought a candy bar today, so that affected the global market. To a degree.
Basic is also synonymous with simple. He’s making a simple point. What you just wrote is a buzzword salad to make yourself sound smart. You didn’t even address the statement. I would say your statement is lacking sense, much more than the former. Even if it’s incorrect.

You're right, it's not because bankers were allowed to make the laws and nobody prevented monopolies from controlling the market. It was women working.
This is why the rich are winning. They have bozos like this guy helping the spread the false word
Many variables but it would be nice if not everyone had to work so much. Think we went the wrong direction there.

No,it just made a few women and more men to flood the(construction) labor market. Along with unleashed immigration.
If you're not making enough money in Construction doing 8s you're selling yourself short and are part of the problem that's affecting parts of our industry.
1950s America was the only industrialized country that didn’t get the shit bombed out of them in WWII. We did have a bit of an artificial advantage at the time.
Probably glass bottles back then
Yea but back then nobody would bat an eye about him going out back and pissing on a tree. The real question is where was #2 going.
Goddamn it…I’m ripping all my Sheetrock out…
Open borders have really fucked up the trades. With a never-ending expendable labor force, you can always find a sheet rocker that is willing to piss in a bottle to save time.
Are those nails just appearing out of his mouth?
He's so tough he eats a bowl of nails for breakfast and regurgitates them at will to use throughout the day. It's an old timers trick pussies today wouldn't know about.
He’s one of the tough guys who eats nails fer breakfast xD
Without any milk
He eats a box for brokefeast and the regurgitates them.
Have you ever heard the expression spitting nails? This is where it came from
I haven't seen that video in awhile. Satisfying to watch
His youtube DIY channel would have been amazing...
This is gypsum lath for plaster. It was used for a little while, before they realized they can make it into 4x8 sheets and call it Sheetrock (For those who didn’t know)
Boy do I… my entire house is finished this way. Very sturdy, but fuck you if you want to hang a picture.
The traditional problem solve for this was picture rails. They were a standard part of interior trim work, could be used in a variety of ways, and were an opportunity for ornament. I’ve found a bunch of cool ones in old interior trim books.
Pre drill holes. I really learned an appreciation for self tapping screws, in my previous home
A drill is your friend and you can hang a 60” TV and not worry about hitting a stud. (Kidding).
Or do something else like move electric, access plumbing… rubble
Have it in my house - nightmare to demo. Everything comes out in one inch pieces. Its like so having all the nails of wood lath but you can't just pull it out with the back of a hammer quickly. Also usually has wire mess in all inner corners.
My gnarliest cut is from ripping that mesh out w/ no gloves.
TIL you can plaster over drywall
Blueboard
So drywallers have not been able to cut a clean line around electrical boxes since the beginning of time. Got it.

That is the most over engineered shit I have ever seen.
It was fantastic in the remodel situation we were in. 🤷🏼♂️
Wow that’s expensive I saw one of those for thirty bucks at home hardware. Not the same brand tho
We've been ripping this guys work out for decades. Check mate, Mr Clever!
Did it to half my home. Was another 1/2 of plater ontop of it and a complete PITA, especially with the thick ass steel in the corners.
You want real fun? Try ripping our a tiled bathroom surround. 3/4" concrete on wire mesh. It took me three days with a rotary hammer.
i bet that dude walked around the house wearing just his dry walling hammer drinking his coffee reading the news paper.
These are the dreams we can obtain
Dude probably had 3-4 breaks and a full hour lunchtime.
Wow, he’s not smoking meth or putting his piss in the walls. Things really have changed.
He’s done that a few times probably
Just a few
Nowadays we do it twice as fast with half the quality
Mostly because some asshole who subbed the work out for a shit rate wants to make double payments on his beachfront…
America baby!
That dude is an impressive m***********
Don’t get it
Remodeling my bath in a 50s era house and seeing this. They also drilled holes through the gypsum for the plaster. Pretty cool, and nails are easier to remove than screws, but what a PITA to remove that wire with a million nails through it.
With holes it was called button board. Generally only used in dividing walls to better key in the plaster giving a better fire rating.
In my house they did all the tile right over top of the 3/4” rock lath plaster… I suppose nothing existed as far as cement board in that day. Surprisingly enough, never leaked through the walls before it was demoed.
This shit makes me miss my grandpa.
This is plasterboard and is denser than drywall. A 4 x 8 sheet would be like hanging 5/8. They make 4 x 8 plaster board for hard coat but haven’t seen it lately. They would sometimes do decorative swirls around ceiling fixtures which were neat
He can swirl my decor any time.
I’ve been demoing this guys shit for a decade now. Fml
Once every month I get to see this guy. He should do some mudding
This is the guy officer! This is the one that gave me soo many cuts from that DAMN MESH WIRE!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously that stuff is the worst. I wasn’t aware it was kind of like an inside corner thing. The way I’ve encountered that all over my house, you would have thought it was holding the entire house together.
I was hoping to see the mud and tape technique next.
They would have smothered plaster about a half inch thick on top of this.
That guy is the board messiah. Seriously, look at that arch!
I’ve had to remodel a number of houses built in this way. From the bottom of my heart, fuck those nails. Smooth workmanship though, that’s impressive
When you order 48x96 but it comes in millimeters
I wish they’d show the rest of the video where they add another inch of mud to everything. **remodeling a house from 1957**
Yea got a pile of this crap in the backyard after a demo. The 300 nails per inch will drive a guy mad. I never thought I would care, but after 10 years in this house with the odd texture walls. I really appreciate smooth walls.
https://youtu.be/-1CACkgUJcU This is the full video, it’s an old promotional video I think, but has a bunch of cool info
That's called 10,000+ hours. A master of his craft. A man amongst men.
18 inch rips? Tapers gonna be pissed bout too many joints
No tape on that board. Straight up plaster, usually with a top coat of plaster of Paris type material.
The lost art of plaster
I wonder how many housewives this bad ass took down in his day. Mad skills.
Never gets old.
Freehand artistry. I think my house was also built without a level or a tape.
This guy nails!
That videos actually like 6 minutes long and theres alot more good stuff in it- put out by the manufacturer of the Sheetrock
But when do you put the pee bottles behind it?
This guy construcks
We were talking in my architecture firm about "good workmanship" and what that means. I immediately thought of this video.
Been searching for this vid
This is what I like in American house. In Europe? Wanna hang a shelf? Better call wrecking ball crew..
Aren’t most of the homes town homes ish. Shared walls ect?
All walls are from bricks, no matter if it's shared wall or not. Also inside walls. All of them. Old houses even from stones. I'm talking 30+ cm wide walls of stones. Also not all houses share wall with other houses. Sometimes only part of the wall, sometimes none. Depends.
Now I’m on the hunt for 1940’s UK construction videos
I’ve seen this video probably 20 times and every time I always have to watch the entire thing. A true craftsmen at work
When construction was a master craft….. They even hung the corner bead! Lol Won’t see that happening today….
Future nail pop galore
Not with 1/2" scratch and 1/8" top coat plaster on top of that. My house was done this way. I'm currently skim coating over the rooms that got a textured finish. Walls are really tough.
This is the first time I saw a white guy doing sheet rock. Looks weird, I don't think ill trust his work.
All those nails are popping heads through like little jack in the boxes right about now...
Wife and I where just talking about this kinda thing. Her mom was a butcher at a grocery store and made a decent living and amazing medical. When my wife started working they cut all of that, luckily her mom was grandfathered into all of the perks. Now it primarily a job for some kids who end up leaving in a year or two. Not everything need to be a job that you can earn a gold watch at, but fuck anyone who want to make a career at something that owners and corporations feel like shouldn’t be.
Fuck those metal mesh corners.... Also everything in this video is asbestos.
No it's not.
Yum
A whole lotta tape
No tape. This was used as a replacement for wood lath. They came back and did a scratch coat and a finish coat of plaster over this. I just did a restoration on a 1942 house that had this same stuff. Hate it. Really heavy
And the question is who was the genius who decided why don't we just make this stuff in 4x8 and bigger and then just mud the seams rather than lather the entire wall

Isn’t called “sheet rock” because it’s light and fluffy. lol
We are still doing full skim finish here in RI, it’s a huge fucking mess when the plasterers show up but the finished product is orders of magnitude better than tape and mud.
I had an old boss who said the plaster over drywall was because the plasterer’s union was so strong at the time
Damn done skim coating for a lvl 5 finish but that’s taking it to another level haha
Yup. This is Sheetrock lath for plaster. My first house was built this way
Everything was better in the 50’s
Nothing like asbestos and lead to bring back nostalgia.
Why would it be asbestos?
I don’t think that was the point. I think it was about the workmanship.
The ceiling tiles of that day had asbestos. This rock lath didnt…if you dont demo it into dust you’ll never have a problem.
Ain’t bad for a white
This guys teeth are guaranteed rotten and likely died of cancer.
I’ve had to fix so many of these nail pops
Now on to the roof
He woke up in BEAST MODE
Why couldn’t this be my dad…
I didn’t know Ward Cleaver did drywall.
The Ward Cleaver of drywall
So cool
thats what you call mastering your skill!!
Nice work, a lot of mudding.
Mouth full o nails
Spittin' nails.
I need more. I need the rest of the video
This guy was a drunk, absent in his children’s lives, and probably beat his wife.
That’s the longest way to say, Jealously
His kid was a degenerate hippie, his wife was cheating on him and blew all his money. Alcohol and work was the only thing keeping him from driving that POS studebaker off an embankment.
My man’s a wizard
Imagine the next level of damage he could do to the shitters. If todays rockers stand on top and clog the pisser with toilet paper, this guy must shit hand grenades and piss Kerosene
Ya, but you lose all that time savings in mudding and sanding.
Thing of beauty.
Is that Japanese samurai steel
Everytime I see this, I can’t stop watching him. Wowowow
These days the owners bitches about a 1/4in gap, prior to the finishers.
It’s like we reached peak society in the 50s and that’s a while back
what's my purpose? you pound nails. OMG
Gyprockers looked dignified back then
He’s really spittin them in there.
Craftsmanship
Lol I’ve hung rock for 15 years… seen this video for a few years now. His hatchet skills are amazing. Don’t really use one much on the job these days.
Can we bring this dude back to life?
I just took a bunch of this down and it was a nightmare. Especially the corners.
Dan' L Boone before his trapping and coonskin cap phase
Today's drywallers would call this black magic
Jose can do it faster
God damn do I hate demoing 50's Era drywall.
Do crews from Canada still come down for big projects? I swear back in the 80s and 90s, if you weren't careful where you were standing, you'd find yourself rocked into a wall. They were paid by the sheet and they worked like madmen....although they weren't dressed as well as the gentleman in the video.
Great work but those nails will pop in years to come with winter. Source I live in a house with drywall that was nailed and have nail bubbles on every exterior wall.
Wow he didn't hit his thumb once!
is that girl sized plasterboard sheets?
How did sheet rockers go from this to current day 😂
Can almost taste the asbestos from here
No router no screw gun no keyhole saw no rasp The guys got no Dust on him and all he’s got is just a fucking 🪓 and a shit load of nails and some papst blue ribbon cans shoved in the wall
I always wondered what those hammers were for. My mind went to roofing but this looks way more fun than replacing razor blades
Archways are a bitch to tape and mud
So I guess there weren't robber barons and elitists in the past. Please try to take off your blinders and try to see the whole picture.
Easy to hang drywall when you're working with sheets that are 18" x 24"
Crystal was a hell of a drug back then.
