Ozmaniac asked:
We live on acreage in Brisbane and need quite a lot of outside work done. Things like brushcutting, weed spraying, gardening, scrub clearing etc We would supply tools and materials etc so the job would suit an unemployed person or a student. What if they are hurt in some way while doing the work? Do we need to take out insurance for them? If so, what type of insurance is it and who should we get it from? I’m pretty sure that normal workers compensation insurance doesn’t apply to workers who are employed by householders.

dildo on wheels asked:
Does anyone know of a company that sells pre-made gates for a dumpster enclosure? They should be the swing out kind and semi decorative due to the area they will need to be placed. We have had custom doors made for another part of this job but it can get pricey – just wondering if there are other options.
Thanks.

My husband has over 20 years experience as a drywaller, but has always worked for someone else. He would like to start his own business, but he doesn’t have any experience on bidding a job. Can anyone tell us how you learn to do that or where he can go to find out? Thanks!!

ME asked: It is a pretty basic job, one room is 10 x 10 and the other area is 17 x 15, and only the 2 15′ walls need dry wall. I’m located in Michigan. Also, I will be providing the drywall only.
Thanks!

mollie d asked:
I’ve put up new drywall, but I don’t want to do all the mudding. I plan on putting up wallpaper, so all I really want is to cover the ***** holes and seams. My husband wants to do the mudding and paint, but it takes such a fine job to then be able to paint. Is there another way to do this without mudding? Also, one person said to put vinegar in paint, I’ve never heard of that. Either way I do plan on putting a coat of primer one because I hear that makes the wallpaper adhear better and it’s easier to get off.

Wildrover asked:
I consider myself a rookie when it comes to finishing drywall. What color do you think will mask some of the errors in my finish work?? It’s in the basement without much natural light, so a lighter tone might have to work.

Kathie L asked:
Against my better judgement, I allowed my husband to drywall our basement himself. Now there are huge spots where it is very uneven. I spent hours spackling, sanding and trying to even it out, which helped a lot, but there are some areas which just can’t be fixed. The only thing to do now is try to cover it up, so I’m looking for suggestions. Is there some kind of paint or painting technique that could help?
It’s not anything to do with the drywall or the existing studs that he put the drywall on. He just didn’t know what he was doing and had problems with the joints, especially the corners. To be honest I have NO idea how he made it look as bad as he did, it’s like he was trying to do the worst job possible. And he refused to read the info I gave him about how to drywall before he did it, he just flew by the seat of his pants. What’s the splatter drag technique?
