Don't listen to them....you will fug it all up and then wind up hiring someone after wasting your time and money.

Bleys is obviously a professional contractor and builds mansions and corporate buildings all over the East Coast and Hawk is Canadian and not to be trusted.

*Edit* - Bleys took down his step by step Bob Vila instructions?

Do you perceive contracting as a rocket science or something? I promise its not hard.

The only excuse for a man not fixing this himself is if an hour of his time is worth more than $500. For some reason I doubt many huddlers have this problem.

I thought Kitten Diver did a more simple job of explaining.. if you thought mine was more detailed, I can repost.. ;)

it really isn't that difficult...

But he is a 21 year old college kid who likes to binge drink and has friends who throw people through walls. He has no business using a drywall knife or spackle.

a man has to grow up some time...

this is a basic overview, even though it's on a bit smaller scale..

There could be some wires back there.

if the hole is big enough, which it is, he can feel behind to tell.. that goes for pipes as well.

but you two do raise good points...

it's like when I 1st saw my brakes being changed, I realized wtf am I paying someone to do this for me? I figure with him being in college, money would be nice to save..

Best to grow up by practicing on something that wont cost you more money if you screw it up.

I spent 10 years in the Navy before I got married, and they don't use drywall on ships. So when I got out and bought a house, I had a lot to learn. Fortunately, I had a couple of friends that were very good at this sort of stuff, and willing to show me how as long as I paid for the beer. Or in one guys case, paid for the marijuana (after he finished of course :))

If there is texture on the wall you are going to have to use a texture gun and shoot it after you have sheetrocked, mudded, and floated it a few times too. Between the material and having to rent or borrow a gun you may want to hire an out of work drywall guy to do it cheap.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
