The series, written down: all twenty-one how-tos

The onboarding series follows one drywall shop through one school job, sign-up to the phone call about the next one. Eight of its twenty-one episodes had a written how-to; the other thirteen didn't. Now they all do.

Open How-to → The series and every episode is a page: the new shop wizard, who sees what, pricing the estimate, the subcontract, board and stud, the bulkhead nobody drew, Friday at 4:30, the 25th, where the job stands, closeout, the callback, quarterly service, and the call. Each one is the same shape — the steps, what changed underneath, the three mistakes people make — and each links to the episode before and after, so you can read the arc in order or drop into one module.

The videos come later; the words are ready now.
