Anyone who has hung even the smallest piece of sheetrock is probably looking at these photos and silently thinking “Thank God for mudders.”

Arguably the hardest part of any construction / home improvement project.  Working on stilts for most of the day.  Fixing the drywall hangers work.  Alternating between sloppy and dusty.  And your work redefines “visible.”  Even the smallest light-catching flaw will ruin a whole ceiling and your contractor’s day.

Dennis will be with us for about a week.  Works by himself.  Likes to duct-tape into his stilts.  Leaves a little puddle of drywall compound inside each room to monitor the humidity.  Doesn’t care for the radio.

All you can hear is the steady whiz of the taping knife and a gentle tap against the hawk.

Thank God for mudders.
