        <![CDATA[As some of you know, I grew up in a little town in northwestern Nebraska. Chadron was your stereotypical Andy-of-Mayberry town with only one stoplight and still only has one to this day. Frankly, it was a great place for a kid to grow up.]]>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[Well folks, it&#8217;s been awhile since I have felt
whole enough to pen anything meaningful for these pages. The economic issues
surrounding the collapse of the construction industry that is such a big part
of my life and yours made anything that I may have had to say seem meaningless.
After much soul searching and a little prodding from John Wyatt, I have decided
to end my self-imposed exile from these pages.&nbsp;]]>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[When
times are good, people become complacent. Riding in gas guzzling land-yachts
and dwelling in cavernous McMansions tends to dull the senses and lulls people
into a false sense of security. The scale that was once used to measure the
distance between wants and needs became dangerously off-kilter. ]]>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[By always being willing to do work that was specialized and making sure that it was done right, I kept busy. I have suggested this idea in previous articles. And when I hear guys complaining that they can&#8217;t compete against the 30-man crews, I wonder if they have considered doing specialized work.

      <description>
        <![CDATA[I was fortunate enough to attend the Specialties of the Drywall Trade Instructor Seminar held from Oct. 30 to Nov. 3 at the IUPAT facility in Baltimore. It was obvious that a lot of planning went into setting up this building, with classrooms on the upper level and a lower level that is wide open, allowing plenty of room for the attendees to hone their skills on miles of drywall.

      <title>Adventures in Drywall:  Are You Old School?</title>
      <author></author>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[When a blues music aficionado uses the term &#8220;old school,&#8221; he may be referring to artists such as Muddy Waters, Etta James, John Lee Hooker or B.B. King. When old school country music artists are discussed, names such as Bob Wills, Hank Williams Sr., Jimmie Rogers and Patsy Cline will certainly be mentioned. In this instance, old school is used in a positive way. The inference is that these artists were pioneers in their field and that their contributions have stood the test of time and that their art is still considered relevant, even though it was produced decades ago.     ]]>

      <title>Adventures in Drywall: Burning Down The House</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[The year was 1977 and yours' truly was trying desperately to hold the end of a 12-foot sheet up while trying to finger a nail into the edge of the board and hit the nail instead of my fingers with a roofing hatchet. If memory serves, back then we were using blue ring shank nails. The heads were barely larger than the circumference of the rings, so it was virtually impossible to drive one without ripping the face paper under ideal conditions, and these were not ideal conditions. ]]>
