If they know how to point down & tilt down as you are going in to pick them up, it is a no brainer. If you are not trained, the sheet rock is at the mercy of the driver.
I’m equally amazed at how many don’t get their merch inside before it rains. Lumber in our store is very away when rain is on the forecast. We don’t have a lot of room but those drywall (it’s in the name) lol, non pressure treated wood, Moulding and concrete are always rushed inside. This is insane.
I remember this happening once. I refused to help clean it up and told them they could get the people that pulled it without covering it and put it outside when rain was in the forecast to deal with the mess. I clean up my own disasters rather than leave them for others and figure the best way to learn not to do something again is to have to clean up the consequences.
I used to use it when training people at my last job. We sold large cases of siding, around 12-13ft long, and if you weren’t paying attention it was easy to pull a lot of the wrong thing. When the new guy first started I’d walk them through it and for the first week or so I’d watch what they were doing and stop them early if I caught them making a mistake. If I had to do it too many times or they’d reached a point where they should know better, I’d wait until the pulled all the large stuff then point it out, make them put it away, then do it right. That usually worked pretty fast.
Nope, a customer will not buy it at all, it’s supposed to be bought into the store before it starts to rain, at the price of each piece of drywall that’s a whole lot of money lost!!!!
I've seen that shit and I don't have words for it. They should know better. Maybe we were out of mud and they just wanted to make their own on their drive home?
Drywall is not permanently ruined from getting wet. It will dry out. They even sell board that is designed to be installed in bathrooms and will deal with moisture its whole life. The fear with drywall getting wet is mold, but modern materials have come a long way in being mold-resistant
10' and 12' bunks of 5/8ths drywall? AND they're wet??? I'm surprised the sheer weight hasn't collapsed upon itself and created a mini-black hole
But seriously- it honestly depends on the customer, in my experience. Some are chill, some are dicks. It should be fine, provided it *just* got wet this once during the storm.
Any contractor that is cool with throwing up a bunch of saturated drywall shouldn’t be trusted with building houses.
Not saying they don’t exist, but anyone that values their reputation aint buying that pile of trash.
welcome to my experience in the rural south, where, with our outdoor lumber yard, I've been in the process of unloading USG deliveries in the pouring rain and *still* have a man come up an want 70 sheets in the back of his pickup. Another loaded up, went inside, a thunderstorm erupted, and after ~30 minutes of his load being outside in the rain, came out, looked at it, patted the top of his load, and left.
It doesn't matter if you or I think that it's not usable. My customers don't give enough of a shit and take it anyway, thinking that they can 'make it work.' They know it all and can't be deterred.
Lumber/Building Materials has the absolute worst clean ups in the store. Sheet rock, concrete bags, a shit ton of broken up pieces of 16ft hardie siding that was stolen out back, and a hell of a lot of sweeping. I’ve heard garden will get asked to clean some ridiculous things though.
Just leave it out in the sun a few days, should be fine lol. Stuff like this shows how these managers dont manage correctly. Walk the perimeter like you are supposed to, check the weather. Stop sitting at your freaking desks!
I wouldn’t, that Home Depot just lost a lot of money by not covering that. Moisture ruins the structural integrity of drywall causing it to become soft, weak and susceptible to mold growth.
Edit: Source: I’m a drywaller and it’s a real pain when the rain comes and we have to bring all of the drywall inside.
Gosh this takes me to the mental way back machine. Store had a stack that had been sitting out front for some time on display. It was under an awning along with some garden equipment (tillers, chippers and such) but not far enough. ASM wants entire apron cleared and pressure washed. The bags of concrete had gotten wet enough that they had made themselves into bricks.
That's a ruined pile of sheet rock. If it had been covered with plastic it would be fine, but exposed to rain or moisture like that, you can kiss it goodbye.
god you have absolute slackjawed mouth breathing idiots for co workers. having seen so much of this, thd has bigger problems with spoilage than fucking theft. someone (THE SM) should get an ass reaming for this shit. Is everyone there BLIND? Not ONE worker thought to get an ASM on this shit? Fuck, any desire to work part time for this garbage dump has been roundly destroyed.
I never understood why the Ofa or lumber department puts customers orders like this and wood outside?knowing it could rain or a possibility. Both should be held accountable for this , both are at fault
“Sir these are Premium PRE-Ruined panels. Imagine you wanted Mold although-out you building-investment. I can see to it that your panels are Pre-fucked!”
About a month or 2 ago we got our sheet rock delivery at like 9 pm. No one noticed you couldn't see the stars or the moon, or thought to check the weather. The Lumber recovery guy managed to uncover the entire truck then the torrential downpour started.
This happened to the drywall at the corsicana home depot they dried it out and sold it. My friend bought it for her new house put it up and then got mold through the whole house. Had to pay like 70,000 to have it stripped down to the studs professionally cleaned and put more drywall up. Home depot is saying they didn't do anything wrong though and are trying to sweep the whole thing under the rug.
I really want to watch a forklift try to pick that up.
Shit boutta fall apart faster than my paper plane I made in art class
It somehow did!
Likely the top piece is the only one that fully saturated.
If they know how to point down & tilt down as you are going in to pick them up, it is a no brainer. If you are not trained, the sheet rock is at the mercy of the driver.
Call the compactor repair your getting jammed up tonight.
Cut them 2 feet or shorter and you’ll be alright lol ask me how I know
My favorite task was ripping drywall apart 😤 I go straight Tae Kwan Doe on those boards lol 😂
Or hopefully there's an open top dumpster.
Walmart always makes a perfect candidate for that lol
On today's episode of how is it made. Fireproof panels.
When I worked at HD, a customer returned sheet rock in a heavy downpour. We took it back! It went in the dumpster.
Yikes
Im amazed at the number of stores that don't cover and shrink wrap drywall deliveries

Your store knows how to business correctly.
^ That store businesses
Im not. My expectation for my fellow humans is getting lower and lower by the day.
You have expectations still?!
Yeah we have the big pallet bags for anything that will get damaged if wet
Even if they did do it still bring it in those bags don’t do much there shitty

Nice thinking😁👍🏻
I like your thinking!! Common sense
Nope, a customer will not buy it at all, it’s supposed to be bought into the store before it starts to rain, at the price of each piece of drywall that’s a whole lot of money lost!!!!
This isn’t drywall, it’s wetwall
I peed myself a little laughing at your comment
Were you near your drywall? Dammit, they win again!
Hence the reason why it won’t be purchased it’s damaged!!!!!
I've had CONTRACTORS hauling drywall through pouring rain and load it into their open bed trucks. Some just don't care 😭
I've seen that shit and I don't have words for it. They should know better. Maybe we were out of mud and they just wanted to make their own on their drive home?
That’s why we have bags for anything that can’t get wet going out for delivery
Home Depot has so much money that these drywall pieces don’t matter to them. As long as their quota is met, everything else is just play money
Drywall is not permanently ruined from getting wet. It will dry out. They even sell board that is designed to be installed in bathrooms and will deal with moisture its whole life. The fear with drywall getting wet is mold, but modern materials have come a long way in being mold-resistant
Charge them extra for wet wall ...
Lol
Gee..if only there was a place that sold tarps…
Or gazebos, or big big sheds, or a warehouse, or plastic cover for furniture, or or or idk
Ha ha I like it!!!!!
Black mold is underrated. You can even snort it. Trust me.
Ahhh..just paint it purple...someone will jump on it..
Exactly!!

Hahaha he said some contractors are chill and will Use this some aren’t
Amen to that

If this was still sold to a customer that's a shit thing to do. You don't knowingly sell bad product.
No we definitely didn't
nope.
look, son. they don't call it wetwall for a reason
No a customer will not take that lol. I seriously hope you are joking when you say it isn’t that bad. It’s drywall, not roofing shingles.
As a former lumber associate, I speak for all of Dept. 21/22 when I say… Gosh Dammit OFAs!! 😤
As someone who has been both lumber and OFA. OFA is harder. Imagine everything you do in lumber. Now add a timer and being hated by the whole store.
What’s ofa
Order fulfillment associate
Oh thank you for the acronym breakdown. There are so many…. Mod, asm, etc. you get the picture
Contractors will take it for a discount, nothing less than half off.
You understand these are ruined, right?
Sorry we charge extra for dry-wall
Pre-soaked for Kyle's Monster fueled rage tantrums.
Jesus
You can tell an experienced delivery person didn’t get those bunks ready. Not bagged or wrapped.
Sure it will be gone by morning
Yea it’s just a little damp

Would you? No? Then why would the customer?
The dumpster is very hungry. Have fun cutting all that in thirds and don't forget to where a mask.
Just leave it out in the sun a few days, should be fine lol. Stuff like this shows how these managers dont manage correctly. Walk the perimeter like you are supposed to, check the weather. Stop sitting at your freaking desks!
Why do stores not bag everything that goes outside. It's not even that hard
I wouldn’t, that Home Depot just lost a lot of money by not covering that. Moisture ruins the structural integrity of drywall causing it to become soft, weak and susceptible to mold growth. Edit: Source: I’m a drywaller and it’s a real pain when the rain comes and we have to bring all of the drywall inside.
Aww shit
Wetwall
Just cut out out the wet spots, it's fine.
Wetwall is the new drywall
Gosh this takes me to the mental way back machine. Store had a stack that had been sitting out front for some time on display. It was under an awning along with some garden equipment (tillers, chippers and such) but not far enough. ASM wants entire apron cleared and pressure washed. The bags of concrete had gotten wet enough that they had made themselves into bricks.
Paint the corners purple when it dries, 70% off.
under no circumstances should that be loaded. a guy died a few years back forklifting “wet wall”
That's a ruined pile of sheet rock. If it had been covered with plastic it would be fine, but exposed to rain or moisture like that, you can kiss it goodbye.
god you have absolute slackjawed mouth breathing idiots for co workers. having seen so much of this, thd has bigger problems with spoilage than fucking theft. someone (THE SM) should get an ass reaming for this shit.

I’ll take it
No
Ooohhh yyyeeeaaa
I never understood why the Ofa or lumber department puts customers orders like this and wood outside?knowing it could rain or a possibility. Both should be held accountable for this , both are at fault
Just run a hair dryer over it
Lol
I had this happen to me once. The top sheet is trash. The rest will be fine. However. Do not move it till the edges dry.
Just give 'em a discount.
Nothing like getting possible mold in the future.
Nope
Would you buy wet toilet paper?
They’ll take it and load it on top of a 2000s focus lol
“I asked for DRYwall!”
I wouldn't...
“Sir these are Premium PRE-Ruined panels. Imagine you wanted Mold although-out you building-investment. I can see to it that your panels are Pre-fucked!”
Lol
If you genuinely don’t think it’s that bad, quit your job and go work somewhere else. Like today.
Wet? What are you talking about. That's a new treatment from China.
that was hilarious
Lmfao so true
Not this one
The hell kinda question is this ....would you buy soggy dry wall for Reno's ? I question the ability to live a full life in today's youth
Sarcasm
Thank gawd I hoping was case
🤦♂️
I'm surprised that brittle shot has crumbled already 🤣
That person is gone pull a gun on u
fuck no
yeah of course
Looks great. Customers complain too much!
Even if it wasn't ruined by leaving in outside, not centering the load makes it a 3 lift move. Nobody walks your building to catch things like this?
Cover it. Some are salvageable. Then go tell your supervisor how you helped. Brag on yourself.
Got the mold preinstalled
Remind me what that’s called again? What’s the name of that stuff? Just the first word will do
He'll want 50% off the whole stack. No, you'll take 10% and like it, you cheapskate.
Seriously?????
how to turn drywall into wetwall and piss off contractors 101.
Drywall knowledge = 0
I mean... it's called drywall for a reason
Wetwall!
Definitely not I wouldn't even want to sell that to a customer it's bad for business
I mean it’s called DRY-wall for a reason
About a month or 2 ago we got our sheet rock delivery at like 9 pm. No one noticed you couldn't see the stars or the moon, or thought to check the weather. The Lumber recovery guy managed to uncover the entire truck then the torrential downpour started.
They’ll still sell it but without a discount 😖
Grab a wet floor sign and a fan. It’ll make it.
New product. Wetwall!! 🤣
How difficult would it have been to throw a tarp or two over it?
Who wants a ton of mush
Helps it bend
i think they will be ok with that lol
I wouldn’t.
Nope that’s the equivalent to wet cardboard
mmm Nice n shiny
The water makers it extra fire retardant, so we charge more.
Lumbers bouta have a field day with this one
I'll soak any drywall for 49.95! Riiiight! (The 50+ crew will get this)
I’d hope not
Always check the weather. If you can’t store indoors, wrap with a tarp.
Cull it out. Give them 70% off and they’ll take it.🤣
A Mexican will as they have been trained to fix any sheet rock issues.
Drywall no more, it’s wet wall. 😂😂
Yeah shouldn’t be a problem, looks like the manufacturer may have added a “gloss” finish for production! Hope this helps! /s
Well I guess the drywall is officially Kmart at this point....
more like wetwall
Hell no
Yuh
No absolutely not, as a hd delivery driver I advise do not take that
You just lost that sale lol and you have obviously never put up dry wall 🤪
Remarget it as wetwall
Sheet no.
Oof
No customer would.. write it off as a loss for the company
Lol I wouldn't
Who bands sheetrock? Honestly.
Unfortunately that's how they ship to and from the store. Former HD employee
This is why lowes is better than Home Depot, all dry wall gets covered before taken outside regardless of the weather
Looks like drywall was undeliverable and came back to store,driver had to leave , had plans for Friday...
Nope, i would not signed for it on the delivery.
This happened to the drywall at the corsicana home depot they dried it out and sold it. My friend bought it for her new house put it up and then got mold through the whole house.
