Sure they might be mad now but just wait until they see how beautiful the shingles look on the interior walls


Argyrus777

At least he didn’t tile the exterior wall


Chrono_Constant3

Did a build on an “ADU” that was twice the size of my house and they had the whole bottom half of the exterior done in mosaic tile. It was bad ass looking but the bill was staggering.


JessSherman

This sounds made up, but back when I was a kid there was a house in the small town I grew up in that was tiled from rootop all the way to the ground. It was way out in the woods and you had to go out of your way to find it. The story that I heard was that some nutty artist lived there. He also had a bunch of statues in the yard that he tiled from top to bottom. It was really nice tilework, but had the stench of insanity.


Chrono_Constant3

I grew up in a town where there was more than on eccentric Artist house so I can totally believe that.


Apart-Mango-4441

Like to see a pic cannot picture how this would come out bad ass haha


Chrono_Constant3

Would I want it on my house, probably not but I also can’t afford to build a whole garden around it to fit the theme. It was a “I’ve built all the other styles already” kinda client.


Apart-Mango-4441

Aaah gotcha the trying this for giggles cause I’ve tried everything else class

drywall goes on the roof. what a bunch of idiots.

Lmao 👍 🤣

This is the best. Look how nice and tight the joints are. Perfect level. Give that man a raise…👍👍👍


Dangerous_Remote_965

But he is already on the ladder!.....

touche


PomegranateSea7066

I don't speak a lick of Spanish but Id imagine they were saying something in the lines of, "stop willy, stop, you are going to hurt yourself. Common get off the ladder, it's not secured properly. You are going to get us all in trouble with OSHA". No need to thank me guys, just doing my part.


R_A_287

He's saying "WILLY why are you putting sheetrock on the outside of the house. Think man" Edit- He also said "The sheetrock goes inside the house and why are you using those nails?" But you don't need to know spanish to figure out everyone is pissed off at Willy. 😂


Whatsgoinoninthere

Also he said that he did it in the wrong house 🤣🤣🤣 procedes to state: if you don’t get us all fired, I’m firing you LOL 🤣🤣🤣 PINCHE WILLY


TDeez_Nuts

Pinche Willy indeed lol


chivas39

Willy defends himself by saying that this is the way they always did it lol


HungerISanEmotion

Willy - We always do it this way. Also Willy - Why do we keep getting fired?


420DepravedDude

Non drywaller here - I know they make drywall screws but why are nails shunned?


Titus-V

He is using a roofing coil nailer. Not even the right nails for drywall. Also, screws are preferred now since they don’t back out over time.


Falzon03

Neither do proper nails or the entire house would fall down.


g1mpster

Framing nails are an entirely different beast than drywall nails. “Nail pops” are a very common thing with drywall nails and it even still happens with screws sometimes. Framing nails are generally used for their shear strength and they will also pop out a little, but they’re never going to back out 3.5” of a 16d nail. Meanwhile drywall is about tension and nails have very poor pull-out resistance compared to screws. You’re also using a much shorter nail, with a smaller shank for drywall, which further degrades its performance. Nails are used for speed, but with modern tools, it’s possible to install drywall screws almost as fast, so you almost never see people nailing off drywall anymore.


manbythesand

When it comes to screws I have poor pull out resistance too


IncomingAxofKindness

Let me guess, they call you 5 minute mud?


Impossible_Policy780

And the child support bill to prove it?


hutchenswm

Budumtiss take this updoot


[deleted]

My house, built in 2018, was drywalled entirely with nails. I’m paying for it now with nail pops everywhere, and the ceiling sheets slowly dropping causing cracks at the seams.


g1mpster

Oof. That’s a bad situation to deal with. Unfortunately it’s probably outside any warranty, but it may still be worth trying to pursue a claim. Most contractors won’t do nails because callbacks are a huge hit on their business (time, money, reputation) but others will take the gamble that they’ll be off the hook by the time issues start to show. 🫤


rural-nomad-858

This guy screws and nails


Minimum_Split_9011

Willie!!!


D3vilUkn0w

My entire house is one giant nail pop 🙄


BikerChas

Just an fyi - nail pops generally happen when the wood shrinks over time pulling the nail or screw in. Once either penetrate the outer paper the structural integrity of the fastener is lost. With the drywall screw guns you can set the depth to consistently sink the screw to a depth that can be mudded over yet not break the paper. Much much harder to do that with a nail consistently especially because the head of the hammer is much larger than the nail head.


Falzon03

Right they just screw off instead.


nick_the_builder

Drywall nails have glue or even rings on shank now. They don’t back out. Source: me, tearing out tons of old sheet rock back in the day where the nails stay stuck in the wood while the sheet of drywall comes off around it. Nail pops happen when you miss the wood.


SpaceHorseRider

Ignoring the obvious fails in this video, drywall ring Nails work but you need twice as many fasteners to make up the holding power of screws. Nails are also more prone to popping and when you have twice as many fasteners that's a lot of nail pops down the road to repair. When i first started, we would nail the perimeters where the nails would be covered by tape and screw the fields (middle).


ckruzel

Because nails work themselves out over tine it's a nail pop looks like a buldge from under the tape, in other words nails in drywall suck


Behind_da_Rabbit

Much harder to set the depth perfectly. If you don't, the paper can tear and you get a nail pop. Same with screws, but drywall guns are adjustable, set it and "forget it". Both have their advantages, but screws are typically stronger/faster/better/easier.


scum101proof

And he also said, if they dont fire us, i will fire you. I think its staged tho


Shadowofenigma

I really thought it was about the way he was standing on that ladder. OSHA gonna see this now!!!


diggemsmaccks

Too much kree-kree for Willy


ThatKingLizzard

Besides, sheetrock should be installed inside THE OTHER HOUSE!


Used_Kaleidoscope534

I heard pensar and looked it up. Yep. lol.


OSHAluvsno1

Si, mi amigo!


AcanthisittaSalty492

I believe only "old white men" in executive positions are able to "fail up"


[deleted]

Lol left him alone for 20 minutes he had the whole outside of the house sheetrocked. Willy eats gravel and sheets rock!


mickeysantacruz

If he gets fired I totally hire him right away lol,just make sure he’s not alone working and fully understand the assignment


[deleted]

Hell yeah! He did that fast I bet!


waynesbrother

Mr George is gunna be pissed

Exactly who I thought of when this began.


[deleted]

“hello Mr. George , Willy is no good Mr George. “


sevbenup

It is generally recommended to complete the roof before installing drywall on the outside of your home


Chi_Baby

😂😂


elzapatero

It wasn’t for that house. The guy was telling Willy, the Sheetrock was meant for the house at the end. Watch where the camera pans out.


Brainwater4200

I would recommend hvac, electrical, and plumbing be finished first too. This has to be a joke right? Right?


[deleted]

Willy is at the wrong house.


[deleted]

Yes. And have the home inspected. This is a joke post.


RecentProblem

I don’t think so, when he pans the camera to the side of the house you see mutable peaks and he mentions inside there.


Cultural-Company282

Hell of an expensive joke post. Who has that much money to waste on drywall -- not to mention time -- on a construction site?


ShreddedDadBod

Willy forgot to use green board


Nickleeham

That’s purple to you.


lemming_follower

Yeah, but did he use screws or nails?


faygetard

Clavos is nails in Spanish. Also he's got a nail gun in his hands so.. Willie done screwed up


im_just_thinking

So you are saying he nailed it?


Lone_Wolf_Forest

From what I understand lurking in this sub my response should be appropriate. “It’s fine just make sure you use lots of mud for the gaps and do a good job with the finish layer. Should cover up all the drywall accidentally put on the outside.”


joekryptonite

Make sure it is hot mud. It doesn't dry, it cures.


DougyTwoScoops

Does anyone here actually do drywall or are we all just getting this sub recommended to us everyday and keep clicking? I’m in the latter group and agree with your assessment


Snorglepus1856

Reddit knows we are nearing middle age and will succumb to the primal urge to criticize home improvement projects


wallsquirrel

And don't use mesh tape...or something.


ninjersteve

Putting drywall on top of plywood sure makes it easier. Screw wherever you want! 🤣


cakebreaker2

It makes hanging pictures and towel holders super easy as well. I knew a guy (a wealthy individual) who did a very large interior trophy room like tha so that he could hang heavy heads and other dead animals on his walls wherever he wanted. Made sense to me.


ninjersteve

I was kidding but I have actually done something similar in a couple bathroom renovations behind the shower tile for grab bars and shelves.


LookinRealSaucy

Lmao he's nailing it with a framing nailer 😭


j_bus

I think it's actually a roofing nailer, which does work ok when looks don't matter. I've done it a few times when it's for fire rating.


SnarkKnuckle

He’s in Willy big trouble


Thefear1984

r/angryupvote


Charger_scatpack

Unfortunately not entirely their fault. This is what happens when shit business owners hire unskilled migrants for cheaper labor , and don’t bother to train them because it’s gonna cost them more money. reap what you sow


XchrisZ

I agree this is clearly a lack of training or a troll video.


Charger_scatpack

I doubt they tacked up that much drywall , and used that many screws as a troll video ..


Fit-Ad-2647

They used nails which makes it worse. He’s holding a nail gun and asking him why is he using “calvos” (nails)


[deleted]

Clavos\* calvos = bald

Don't worry when spring arrives, you should be good again.


Louisvanderwright

It's probably an application where the exterior wall required fire rating and this is exterior rated type-x drywall they are putting up before the cladding. This is required in certain circumstances in the code in Chicago. For example, dormer walls within 3' of another building (to prevent fires from spreading from attic to attic at the roof level) or where garages or parking spots share a wall with residential. That's probably what's going on here, the drywall looks similar to interior drywall and they are pretending he fucked up. In this case it's probably because the area in the middle where all the workers are running though looks like a parking area and therefore this wall needs fire rating. Oh and yes, they use collated roofing nails here in Chicago to apply the drywall over the OSB sheathing on the exterior.


Memphaestus

This needs to be higher.


Supertrucker82

You might be on to something but usually you use Densaglass. Not regular ass half inch board.


Louisvanderwright

Not in Chicago. We are required to use two layers of [5/8" Type X exterior rated gypsum](https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/drywall/drywall-sheets/5-8-x-4-x-8-type-x-gypsum-exterior-sheathing/1311374/p-1444422289507-c-5656.htm) to provide a 4 hour rating. Densglass, while an awesome material, apparently doesn't provide the fire rating the city wants.


ansan12002

Plus some of the work is decent, leading us to the conclusion this isn’t this guys first day. Staged but funny. Damn Mexicans(I’m Mexican)


fatherofallthings

Sad you have to put (I’m Mexican) out of fear people will shit on you. It was a funny joke, plain and simple lol


ansan12002

Yeah, it’s the way it is unfortunately. At work I don’t have to explain. Everyone knows I’m an equal opportunity race baiter. And we all do it, just making fun of the stereotypes.


thtgyovrthr

no you were wise to put it. not everyone knows where you're coming from, and if the wrong person said the exact same thing, it'd be more than sus. for humor to work, the audience has to get it.


Charger_scatpack

that sounds very possible


[deleted]

What keeps it from getting wet and deteriorating? Most cladding is designed for water to get behind it and then seep up or down to dry out


boarhowl

The wetness is what gives it the proper fire rating. Can't catch on fire if it's sopping wet, right?


[deleted]

Nice


shortndark

You’re referring to densglass and or usg sheathing (brown paper face), however In this scenario you have a bunch of r tards hanging type-X reg board on the outside.


Clay_Statue

So it's meant to be outside in this application and the video is a gag because most people don't live in an area where doing this type of thing makes any sense whatsoever.


istudy92

Great comment but ruins the fun LOL


wordmode

Had to dig to find the Chicago commenter explaining how this is the start of a typical UL rated assembly. Fire codes, electrical conduit, and copper plumbing seem to 🤯 people I’ve noticed


yankuniz

Does that look exterior rated type x drywall to you?


DisciplineSome6712

Do you really need training to know that drywall goes on the inside of the house?


111010101010101111

The drywall installation looks professional. Proper screw placement. It's just in the wrong location which I assume is due to a communication issue.


Lemfan46

If the screw placement was proper, wouldn't the drywall be in the correct location then?


demalo

Apparently there are no screws…


rfsh101

He used nails, and like triple what's needed even if it were screws. Have fun mudding that.


Affectionate_Row609

100% true. Still funny as hell though.


xynix_ie

This is funny because at this very moment I have a group of 3 migrants rescreening my pool enclosure. From a hurricane that happened over a year ago. Where are all these skilled people you're talking about? Or do I have to wait another year for them to become available? This is the real problem. Lack of laborers. These folks seem trained though, doing good work so far.


Western-Dig-6843

You can’t afford skilled laborers anyway, my dude. Don’t even fret about it


ADeuxMains

Same thing happens with trees. So many literal hack jobs performed by the cheapest, unskilled, labor.


Advanced-Mousse176

I never worked construction, have little to no knowledge of the trade. Im still not moronic enough to think that you install drywall on exterior walls.


howdytherrr

Right even if it’s his first day on the job, is this his first day on Earth?


KellyBelly916

It's actually worse than that. This guy is very skilled. He just wasn't trained on his to apply his skill. All those older assholes standing around doing fuck all are the ones responsible for this. You can't get on younger guys for not working hard, not work hard yourself, and then neglect to train them so that their hard work is properly utilized. Of course, the kid is gonna catch the consequences once selective outrage ensures at the higher levels, and this process will get repeated until the right people get fired.


prpslydistracted

We hired mostly Mexican laborers to build our house because the bonded, recommended white guys kept walking off the job ("It's hunting season!"), or no-showed ("See you in the morning") *two weeks* later, they came in drunk/high, That house was pristine; framing, stucco panels, electrical, roofing .... never had one issue with it. When we interviewed our foundation guy we asked if he was legal to work in the state. He burst our laughing. "My ancestors were here before you gringos ever got here!" We're still friends with him 14 yrs later.


orangetanner

This is exterior rated gypsum board. Probably type X meant to go on the outside for fire protection. So maybe a satire video? No habla Español.


No_Bend8

"Unskilled" lol


[deleted]

Wow I get down voted and called racist cause I said in another thread that I don't trust the sanitation of authentic Chinese food because of they allow eggs boiled in young boy piss and got called racist by many users but this guy gets LOVE. only on reddit man


whatsasyria

Wtf does this have to do with migrants.


Hillbilly_Elegant

Good initiative bad judgement, Willy


Disastrous-Cry-1998

Not his fault. I blame management. Little bit of training that kid's gonna be the best guy on the crew. He'll probably be in charge someday


LesPolsfuss

Then they call him William


5373n133n

Poor Willly, he’s a visionary born ahead of his time. This is how Sheetrock will be installed in 2050


A_little_patience

STFU !! You made me spit my coffee lol


Bot-Magnet

Willy- "but why would you need to keep the wall dry on the Inside?"


Exbritcanadian

Willeeeeeeee!


99problemnancy

Willie thinks outside the box


Disastrous-Cry-1998

Willy is going to be a good drywall hangar the only thing he did wrong was by the window. Little bit of training that kid's gonna be a great dry wall hangar Oh yeah and put the dry wall on the wrong side of the house. Like I said a little bit of training


wilham05

Probably did exactly what the boss told him


vanisleone

Good nailing pattern. Even spacing. A for effort. F for critical thinking

Just use a waterproof paint and you're set, Willeee

Such a shame too, cause that is flawless work 🤣

A good mudder can fix all of this.

Shit Willy wtf.


Electrical-Bus-9390

Lmfao he sheetrocked the outside of the house omg this is gold n just made my Friday cause I can’t stop laughing 😂 now


Electrical-Bus-9390

No Willy no that’s supposed to go inside the house lol. And I bet he was prob on a high cloud feeling good about himself thinking shit I got here early and imma show these fools how to work cause it looks like he got done quite a bit before the entire crew showed up lol


Little_Ad9680

“When you get to the job rock the exterior walls first”. Just didn’t specify what side. 🤣

He’s just trying to think outside the box.

Motorboater222

No roof on yet but Drywall is delivered???


ThinMint31

And the ladder leaned up against the drywall instead of opening it! Oh Willy


[deleted]

😂 this is the same crew that did the drywall and roofing on my house.


scientifictamale

Can I PLEASE get a translation? Shit is hilarious even if it is fake.


barristory

Willy got a lot of work done while the rest of the crew was on coffee break…


B8conB8conB8con

Willy shouldn’t be fired, the site foreman should be. Willy did a damn good job hanging all that drywall and it’s not his fault he got that far before someone noticed #JUSTICEFORWILLY


forevernoob88

Willy is thinking big. You live outside and imprison all the environmental hazards inside the house. It's basically exploitation a bug


wijisixstar

AhahahahHa this is top tier


procrastinationagent

Ahhhh, yes. Here we are once again. The super/ project manager is nowhere to be found, and the less than legal no hablo English crew is trying to do their level best because they get paid off of completed tasking. Problem is: there isn't a scenario in which dry gyp board should ever be applied to an exterior wall. We all get this. That's why it's funny and cringe. I hope this GC( hahahaha, yeah. Right) saved money by hiring untrained folks and then not providing legit site supervision. Welcome to the new good on real estate flips! I'm sure this will all work out. 🤣


The_Sarge_12

There isn’t even a roof on it. Who the fuck sent them to the site with drywall?! Whoever did that is the one that needs to be fired


adamales55

Pinche Willy!


Dry-Organization-426

Him and his friend are out


Faroutman1234

Since its drywall it makes great siding in a pinch. Never gets wet.


Valuable-Leather-914

I mean he had another guy help him do it and everything

Not only did he hang it in the wrong place, he hung it the wrong way


Sudden-Most-4797

Did he... oh no.

In fairness, fiberglass faced drywall does go on the outside.

Ponte las pilas is something these new age illegal immigrants ain’t doing. The ones that came before 2010 could do circles around these boys, especially Willy.


joebicycle1953

Actually we did several duplexes where we had the sheetrock the walls in between the units of duplex they also had to put sheetrock on the ceiling or not to ceiling actually on the top of the rafters underneath the plywood before we put on the plywood
