Its time you folks knew the truth about wall <strong>contractors</strong> Vancouver.<br />

I actually is a separate person by nature.<br />

My number one interest for the last 3 decades has been steel studs and the new wonders that can be<br />

achieved using them.<br />

In this, and many future segments, we will discuss the beneficial attributes of steel buttons. The net<br />

is a beautiful thing. With all the tap of a button you can gain access to volumes of information on<br />

whatever subject you can think of. There's only one problem. You don't know if the information<br />

you're getting is correct.<br />

Look No Further<br />

Close friends, Don't go anywhere otherwise for your steel man f<strong>raming</strong> information. This site is<br />

written by a professional metal <strong>raming</strong> <strong>contractors</strong>.<br />

Age group is Just a Quantity<br />

I started my metallic stud career back when Disco ruled the airwaves and the Cold War was in full<br />

swing.<br />

I was told about a possible job opportunity by a friend i have who was vacating his position to<br />

commence a stint in the military. He said I could take his place if I needed. All I had to do was show<br />

up at the jobsite. As it was summer and I wasn't in school I figured I might go earn a few dollars and<br />

stay busy for a couple of months.<br />

When I showed up at the appointed place and time I found myself in front of an eight story high rise<br />

apartment building on the outskirts of Ohio. I climbed to the third floor, met the boss who handed<br />

myself a screwgun and was told to screw off of the bottoms of all the studs on that floor. This<br />

contained thirty-six apartments with several hundred steel studs each. I'll let you do the math. After<br />

a week of bending over pushing screws I experienced finally reached the last apartment and was<br />

overcome with a sense of elation knowing that my personal Hell had come to a end. I hurried<br />

upstairs to tell the boss I had been finished also to acknowledge what I was sure would be much<br />

back slapping and congratulations only to discover another floor packed with steel studs awaiting<br />

me. Meanwhile the f<strong>raming</strong> crew got already moved up to the next floor and were half way done<br />

with it.<br />

Thus started out my three decade romance with steel studs.<br />

Diamond jewelry in the Rough<br />

Just like steel is tempered in fire and diamonds are made under extreme heat and pressure so too are<br />

true craftsmen forged in the flames of experience. Just read was the days of piece work f<strong>raming</strong><br />

when you got paid on a production basis. Rates were by the lineal foot and if you weren't pushing<br />

screws you weren't getting paid. The more you might produce in an hour the more money you made.<br />

This was just the opposite of the hourly mindset of today in which the less you have to do to earn<br />

your hourly wage the better.<br />

Time was money and quality was of paramount importance because if you had to go back to fix<br />

something you did it on your dime. Now days and nights when a guy has to go back and fix his own<br />

work this individual looks at it as job security. My, now times have changed.
