Have to share a true drywaller story especially after seeing this thread. Quite a few years ago the fellow I just finished building a house for was building a chalet up at Big White (our local ski hill). His friend who was a lawyer was a building a similar chalet on the adjacent lot so they were helping each other with everything. When it came time to drywall my friend borrowed a bigger truck and they had all the drywall loaded for both chalets. At the time the road to Big White was narrow and had a few narrow spots where people would get into trouble making the hill if they didn't have good tires or whatnot. Usually everyone would just pull over and give a push and get the guy going again. This had happened so they pulled over and waited as the stuck vehicle was further up the road. At times there would be people who were anxious to get up the hill and they would try go past the line of cars who had pulled over. My friend's buddy the lawyer was a big guy, a full 6'6" and he just stood far enough onto the road so these cars couldn't sneak by. Any how some young guys in a car tried to go by and they nudged their car into him as he stood with his back towards them. As soon as there was contact he bolted around and went to the driver's side door. The window was pretty well open all the way and he reached in and grabbed the driver and pulled him right out the window. He didn't hurt him but scared the crap out of him. After he set him down the guy went back into his car and sat there with his friends until traffic started to move. My friend just about killed himself laughing when he heard one of the guys in the car say to his friend "Yeah just a typical fnnn drywaller."
Another cool avatar Geoff! That Beaumont has a big smile on it's face!!!
Thx Carl. A shot with the fisheye lens this past summer. Yeah, a strange ad. Not sure why they're picking on drywallers?
Merry Christmas all!!!

On the Island here there is a drywall company called "Well Hung" ... I kid you not.
