Went to Home Depot today and got:
* 21 sheets of 4 x 12 x 5/8 fire code drywall * 3 sheets of 4 x 8 x 5/8 fire code drywall * 20 sheets of 4 x 10 x 5/8 fire code drywall * 6 sheets of 4 x 8 x 23/32 plywood * 2 sheets of 4 x 8 x 19/32 plywood According to Home Depot's weight specs that is well over 4,000 lbs., and I unloaded it myself. Why? Because I'm 57 years old and was wondering if I'm the same stubborn a**hole that I've always been. Hell yes I am, and proud of it! It might feel like a bad idea tomorrow, but damn it feels good tonight. I did more work in one day than BHO has done in his whole pathetic life. Of course that is setting the bar extremely low. A big salute to you guys who do it every day! |

When you wake up in the morning and need an amberlamps, I'll be there OP.

I did a few squats and pretended not to stare at the sexy young gym girls.

Kids now a days are lame, I was texting my lawyer while getting a tooth pulled, he said, 'get percocets' I told my dentist and we both laughed, he struggles to get me to use the novacaine

I did about the same thing three months ago in two loads.
In addition I unloaded them, then dragged them through a side entry door across a winder landing and down a staircase to my basement were they were hung solo. I declined assistance from the stores help because I didn't want my goods or truck damaged. In exchange Now seem to have a sciatic issue for the First time in my life. I believe I aggravated an old lower back injury from over thirty years Ago that was never a bother since it's healing. Stubborn ass fifty something here too iPad posting sux |

Did you do the 10 and 12 footers taped together still? View Quote Hell no!!!! BTW, I used a Gorilla Gripper. It is by no means the ultimate answer to carrying panels but it's damn good. Doesn't make carrying panels easy but it makes it easier and can easily be the difference between impossible and difficult. |

Thank you for your compliance. +1. BTW, every sheet of plywood had that California BS about containing chemicals that will cause cancer, make your balls fall off, and your rectum turn inside out, stamped all over it. Do the boneheads running California think everyone should live in a recycled cardboard box or what? |

I think I spent 20 minutes one day trying to buy 20ft of 10ga wire. |

After over exerting like that I take 2 or 3 ibuprofen, it will prevent you from getting sore.

I think I spent 20 minutes one day trying to buy 20ft of 10ga wire. It varies a lot depending on the store and how busy they are but I've had very similar experiences. I did spend a ridiculous amount of time in one Home Depot getting 5 ft. of 18 ga stranded wire to use for a hanging light fixture ground recently. On the other hand it often seems like I can't walk 10 ft. in a Home Depot without an employee asking me if they can help me find anything. |

We have a bad ass here. Let us know how you feel tomorrow. View Quote It's tomorrow and I feel about the same as I normally do, only stiffer and more sore. Alleve is my friend today. That disqualifies me from being a badass but that's ok--I'm still a stubborn a**hole and that's good enough. |

Did you unload it all at once in one big gravity storm or one sheet at a time like a bitch?

OP are you remodeling your mom's basement? View Quote Almost. LOL Mom is elderly and legally blind from macular degeneration. She needs a lot of light to be able to see anything. The garage and utility room have dark wood paneling (think 1970s and 1980s to visualize). I'm replacing the paneling with drywall and am doing the ceilings also and will be painting them white so they will be reflective. I have already installed t5 fluorescent lighting, which is hellaciously bright. Yes, even though I am married, I live with my Mom and yes, I would definitely live in the basement if she had one. I'm not sure I would remodel it, though. I proudly proclaim myself to be a 57 year old loser who lives with his mom, but unlike most losers who live with their mom, I actually have a job. |

The life of a sheetrock man is a hard one and at 35 my body was worn slap out. Now I have a blown out knee and an unrepaired hernia at my belly button for bragging rights. |

View Quote Repeat every 6 hours Not sure if is as good for everyone but the stuff is like magic pills for me 15 Years ago I had open heart surgery on a Friday morning and around about Saturday night I told the nurse I would try going without the percoset of oxywhatever they were feeding me like candy . They told me I would be sorry and I asked if I could have Ibuprofen and they laughed. I was waiting on the Dr to sign me out Tuesday morning |

Did that and much much more (such as shuttling several hundred sheets up gutted out elevator shafts between temporary landings in hotel renos , stocking block for masons running fire partitions and duct shafts, etc) for extra spare change as a piece worker in the evenings after framing houses for eight hours. Had the good sense to become a super by the time I was thirty before I did wear my ass slap out and feel like a complete cripple in my fifties. I saw those guys and didn't wan to be one ......fell your pain though brother......just not as much as you do eta: I truly did enjoy the pump and burn and sense of achievment each day busting my ass day in and day out as a a young man gave me.....no regrets here |
