I have been in the drywall business for a few years now and I’m always amazed by how reluctant people are to change. New is not always best but you have to be open to change.
I was walking through a plant recently when I spotted a procedure that looked a little off. I asked the employee how long they had been doing it this way, and he answered, “Since forever.” I get the same kind of reaction when I ask different applicators why they install metal cornerbeads in bathrooms, basements and garages, “Because we’ve always done it that way.”
