Besides the initial climb in the am it's not physically demanding but mentally demanding for sure!

I dont know, our job sight about had a lynching the other day when an asshole drywaller decided to take a power sander to the walls and fill the ENTIRE unventilated building with thick, choking, drywall dust. He came in moving peoples stuff around, closing doors, and didn't say a danged word. Moved one of the AC guys ladders while he was still up in the rafters and turned the machine one and no one knew he was up there until he was gagging and spitting up there. He was wearing a serious respirator and was making people move while he trashed the place and didn't even move any of the fans to blow the dust out. After he made it half way through the building, the super had to yell at him to stop and unplug his sander to get him to stop. He refused to answer anybody telling him to stop using the excuse " no habla". Yeah, he figured out how pissed everyone was after an electrician chucked his gear out the door. Later, speaking perfect English, he complained to the super for being interrupted. If that sob tries another stunt like that, he will be wishing he was back home in Guatemala.

Lmao! Painters are the most hated trade. My senior got into it with a bunch of them. We were pulling face plates off the walls and marking them temporarily for a new install of data lines. Pull the plates, set it on the floor next to the old jack. They were numbered to match our print. After lunch, we go in to start roughing lines and the painter scooped them all up and tossed them in a five gal bucket. I thought fists would fly. And after we put in new stuff, they painted over the cover plates and the jacks, gumming them up. Had to replace half of them.

[@tankerkiller125]

We just got a new building where I work, painters didn't even bother with the faceplates, just left them installed. More than half of all of our data faceplates had to be re-terminated because the holes had been completely filled with paint.

As a full time commercial painter, I have to disagree. Yeah we dropped paint here and there, but how many holes do the electricians make in the drywall? How many holes do the plumbers make in the drywall? All after final paint. FFE Destroy the walls in the entry way and every door they come in contact with. And the GC, always thinks we can just repaint it real fast. When you're working for a resort, on a time line that never changes, Paint is one of the most frustrating jobs.

yeah you guys all have it rough, I have been a commercial flooring contractor for 53 years and guess who gets to see all the messes that every trade leaves behind, 99% of the painters that I work with are great as are almost all the other trades, but every trade seems to have one or two people floating around that seem to mess up and make a whole trade look bad.

Obviously they had never painted outdoors and failed to consider the wind. Most of the car owners didn't mind because their beat up trucks and cars could use a drop of paint, but it landed on the windshields. It had 8hrs to bake. You could see to drive but most of them took the time after work to get it off since paint remover was just sitting there. The painters left everything, even the sprayers , right where they were working when it was quitting time. They complained about the cars, nothing came of it (of course) The next time they left their equipment out Hubby's foreman took it all and locked it up. The tool ticket was under the painters' names. If they couldn't find it, if it walked off, then they had to pay for it. He let them stew in their own juices until lunch.

Painters get all the bad rap. I once had an old man go over the job after we were done. He was legit blind. MF was using a magnifying glass 1/2 inch from the wall and his nose 1 inch from the glass. Took him 3 hours to mark with a pencil anything he didn't like. Which was 6 micro spots from poor drywall finishers. Yeah painters hear all the crap. Have to admit though it was funny to see a helper "drop" a bucket of paint down his stairs to the landing. That was glorious to see him absolutely lose his mind.

Don’t worry as a 22 yr drywall finisher we hate you too . We do all the work and some spray machine comes along in 4 hrs does a whole floor . Then complain when there’s a few pinholes or a stop mark . Lucky for me I’m the best and I don’t leave problems .

[@kirbyroad7222]

@@gerryhazelton9569 never said I hated drywall finishers. I do alot of that myself, and I never use sprayers. I've got them but inside I always do it old school. My comment was that painters take alot of crap for bad work done by others. I will admit that there's some sh!%%y painters out there too.

Need to have a guy as a equipment mechanic. Same stuff with and working with equipment operators

[@drowningincats3921]

My hubby is a HEO on a mine site, and he said if you follow that GPS to the letter ppl will die lol There is like 3 pieces of equipment in the entire mine with A/C (at least working. Even most of the site pickups have broke ass A/C). And he’s in his 30’s and needs a chiro 2x a week bc of all the damage to his spine from riding in equipment all day. But to be fair, his equipment is bigger than a 2 story house, so when it shakes it shimmies lol

[@MrStaybrown]

Lol. The operators at our open pit requested better seats for their backs..the mine manager asked every operator to stand up and look at each other and see what they had in common..they laughed and said our huge guts. They were told they already have the best seats, and to start exercising and lose some belly. 😁 They never brought up the issue again.

Gotta play this for my uncle later, he has run equipment sense before time.
