Ray Anderson - The Drywall Doctor on YouTube

Walter Baker - American Acoustics

Walter has been buying Fresco Harmony for a long time.  I know this because I used to read a book to my son called Walter the Baker and I made the reference early on.  He's continued to do a lot of Fresco Harmony so after his latest order I said to myself, "I need to have him on the show."  Well we finally got him on and I can't believe what a wealth of drywall knowledge he has.  Especially surrounding spray texture and tools.  We talk a lot about his experience coming up in the trade but also do a deep dive into the automatic tools and also why he got into Fresco Harmony.  Walter is a fantastic conversationalist and if you've never listened to The Drywall Podcast before this is an excellent place to start.

We welcome back ItsYaManKam to the podcast.  It's been a while but Kam's been busy accomplishing just about anything you can think of with Fresco Harmony.  His latest conquest was a wood paneling job in Sardis Ohio that had his clients perplexed until Kam suggested Fresco Harmony.  The rest, as they say, is history but that doesn't mean he didn't receive some harsh criticisms from the social media circuit for his efforts.  Kam wanted to go on the record and talk about his experience with this latest project and bring some answers to the many questions he's received about Fresco Harmony and wood paneling covers.  We also discuss his latest trip to Build 23, how he's become the quintessential brand ambassador in the drywall trade, and how he approaches social media all packed into this wonderful episode, the 92nd episode, of The Drywall Podcast.

Chris Bush CBDrywall

On the 90th episode we catch up with Chris Bush out of Three forks Montana.  Chris is a very evolved 28 year old drywall finisher who runs his own business and had a knack for selling Fresco Harmony but that's not all.  He also has an affinity for painting cars so we talk about that quite a bit.  He turns the interview on its head at the end when he asks yours truly some questions about how I got into the trade and how I came up with Fresco Harmony.  I'm really impressed with this up and coming super star of the finishing trade and I can't wait for you to get to know him as well.
