I apologize, but I am unable to attend the meeting tomorrow due to a prior commitment.

Have they done the rough inspection yet? Make sure to remove all the boards and insulation for a thorough inspection.

Kelly Jacobs

Once told me a story from a commercial job site where they got ahead of themselves and put up rock before the inspector approved it. They ended up having to tear it back down.

Austin Simmmons

I worked with an owner-builder on a big remodel about twenty years ago. They did the framing, drywall, and painting before bringing me in to do the wiring. I explained that it would be time and materials from this point on unless they removed all the drywall. Owner-builders can be challenging to work with for this reason.

Larry Jimenez

Suggests using surface mount EMT or MC if they are looking to save money and finish quickly.

Austin Simmmons

It’s interesting because thought it wouldn’t match the decor since it was residential.

Isn’t it wild how these folks were pretty smart and accomplished, yet they didn’t think to double-check the order of operations?

José Carlos Meraz

‘s issue arises when they reach a point of thinking they know it all.

Noémie Martin

I can’t stand it when sheet rockers just slap up Sheetrock on one side of the wall right after putting up the studs. It makes it a pain to install boxes and brackets all wonky and backwards.

Caroline Rogers

They should screw the studs from both sides to make everyone’s job easier.

Victor Knight

Scheduling shouldn’t revolve solely around arts and crafts trades.

Serenity Kelly

I’m going to start using that term too

José Carlos Meraz

Haha same here 😅😂

Amy Wong

It’s funny, but also not funny. 😂

Victor Knight

During a site meeting, a sprinkler fitter named said that, and it has always stuck with me.

Malusha Fedak

That is absolutely epic 🤣🤣🤣

Luis Miguel Alemán

It appears that this is a problem across the whole country. The foolish leaders believe it saves time and money

Joanne Alexander

Nothing positive ever results from that

Angie Lowe

That’s exactly what’s going on where I am, and the frames aren’t even the same size. I keep hitting studs and end up having to redo the work, but they still expect ‘productivity’. 🤦‍♂️😂

Rick Butler

Is cutting 12″ squares and putting in the box at the center. They’ll have to patch up later anyway, so why complicate things?

Angie Lowe

‘s currently handling conduit installation. It’s a whole story to get into here.. 😂

Rick Butler

Oh, so it’s not exactly “the same as the op” as you mentioned. 😉 😅

Miguel Ray

Facing a similar issue, just a different challenge

Angie Lowe

Thank you! Some people just looking for loopholes in someone’s perspective.

Miguel Ray

Yeah I do that too, it’s nice to return the favor sometimes. Lol

Danielle Kennedy

Remember, always stay on top of the job, don’t let it overwhelm you

Ryan Ross

They will definitely learn once I make contact with the drywall.

Isobel Price

That’s when things get serious.

Helena Moya

Top-notch job security

Charles Evans

No worries, even if the schedule is completely off, the blame will still fall on the ‘lazy workers’ and ‘incompetent help’ rather than the project owner who ‘couldn’t deliver’.

Laura Gutierrez

Ot to stick to the timetable. Want that paycheck? ot to meet deadlines

Justine Lam

First day, I suppose. Pretty usual. Lots of ways to keep up with it

Madison Young

Tradesmen don’t receive enough appreciation these days.
Piece working drywallers and tapers are undervalued and deserve more recognition.
Can you believe that?!

Miguel Ray

Mike avros is really enjoying this.

Chloe Lévesque

They did an amazing job at one of our facilities by redoing the electrical work on the first floor without any pipes. Our electricians were able to start hammering the Sheetrock from the height of the switch all the way up to the finished ceiling. After completing the work, they billed the contractor for their services.

Alma Fox

Would have definitely made them reveal the work, no doubt about it.

Serenity Kelly

Why don’t they just check with us before scheduling the next trade?

José Carlos Meraz

They should definitely do that for every trade! 😅 ather someone from each step at the same table to coordinate schedules.

Taylor Lewis

It’s even more awesome when spray foam insulation is part of the equation.

Andre Pena

That supervisor is doing a terrible job

Emile Liu

Hey , that’s a supervisor who wasn’t able to bring his own electrician for the job.

Carolyn Frazier

On one side of things

Cherly Simpson

I never allow them to pull that one-sided trick, but if you fall behind schedule, you won’t have a legal leg to stand on. So, make sure to stay on track. If they are trying to Sheetrock before the scheduled time, remember that you have a contract that prohibits it. You can always involve the inspector if they attempt to work on both sides of the walls. Luckily, I didn’t have to deal with this situation on a previous project because our special order MC got stolen right after delivery. However, the general contractor had the authority to work on both sides of the walls, so we ended up having to charge time and material to fix everything on two floors. Man, thanks for reminding me about that project! 😂

Cherly Simpson

No it was the white super neutral MC back when we used to share neutrals. It had a 90 day lead time and our MC got impounded as evidence and we couldn’t get it back in time. We did end up single dropping a lot of it and it sucked to do it later on a college lab building with as many devices in rooms as a hospital but we got it done despite much dismay for the general. The main general ended up falling into an elevator shaft and shattering his leg, which sucks, but we only kinda felt bad for him after making our lives hell for 2 years

Same Hall

Sorry, I’m unable to provide the original text to be rephrased. Could you please provide the text for me to work on?

Manuel Holmes

That’s totally me when they spring a full rewire from knob and tube on a lath and plaster house. 80% of the time, they end up tearing down the walls “later”. It’s strange.

Bobbie George

Haha, this actually happened to me. I had to install round boxes and mc cables in the ceiling, but the carpenters had already covered them the day before. So my boss gave me a sawzall and 3 batteries, and I cut 12″x12″ squares where I needed to install the boxes.

Herbert Hernandez

Hey, , can you give the inspectors a call? If there’s no inspection, they won’t be able to board. The inspectors would require them to take the board down.

Bobbie George

New York City doesn’t require rough inspections

Herbert Hernandez

That is just astonishing.

Malusha Fedak

I can’t believe that… the eneral Contractor can handle it…

Bobbie George

New York City seems to exist in its own little world.

Herbert Hernandez

Why even have inspectors then? Do they only come in at the end to make sure everything functions? But there could be issues hidden behind walls or ceilings.

Ivan Caldwell

Sheetrockers may be in the carpenters union, but they are not considered carpenters.

Charlene Warren

Haha, this meme is kind of misleading. You’ve underestimated the power-tripping inspector. But go ahead and put up the sheet rock.

Curtis Owens

In my experience, it’s usually the worker employed by the general contractor who makes that decision. Often, the general contractor appoints a superintendent who takes orders from someone in the main office.

Kathy Cole

Close by

Jeremiah Alexander

Never enough time to fit everything in the schedule

Harper Martin

I heard from a few folks about how much money they made in stock trading with Mrs. Damaris’ help, so I decided to give it a shot. And it’s true! She helped me earn a nice profit. ‘t rely solely on your current income – you can see results too! Take a chance and message Mrs. Damaris Ava.

Zackary Ennis

Dealing with that nonsense currently, not scheduling an inspection until I’m prepared, not the drywallers. eneral contractor needs to prioritize correctly!

Louis Hanson

It’s funny how it always seems to fall on the electrician when things go wrong haha

Karl Brewer

This happened to me once in a high-end condo that I had to rewire. The general contractor had the drywallers double up on almost every wall, but thankfully they hadn’t taped it yet. My helper and I spent the entire day carefully taking down each sheet and saving every screw so it looked like it was never even put up. It was such a waste of time, and needless to say, those guys were not happy.

Brittany Morris

😂

Kelly Jacobs

‘t worry, the painter will take care of it haha

Alberto Murray

She will pick up on it.

Tamara Ford

Follow the inspector’s guidance and remove everything as requested due to a missed wall inspection.

Grimaldo Escalante

During subcontractor meetings, inspectors used to remind us not to tape any drywall until they inspected the screw pattern for the fire rating. It was a common occurrence. If there was a sheet rocker present, they would always respond with “Si Si”. The sheet rockers would work diligently to have the fire-rated sheets installed and taped by Monday morning. However, inspectors would often request removal of the second sheet for inspection. It’s a pattern that seems to repeat on every job site.

Roger Murray

I remember this one time at a custom home I was working on, they had already spray foamed and drywalled before I even received the plans for it.

Sofía Pulido

A great way to get beat up is to mess around and find out.
