Myron Ferguson, aka "That Drywall Guy," makes installing corner bead look easy, but what’s his secret? “One thing I really like about USG Sheetrock® Brand Paper-Faced Metal Corner Bead is that it has a beaded edge that is slightly raised…when I’m filling it with joint compound, I use that edge to pull my trowel across. The raised edge is just high enough so that I’m able to build up compound to hide the edges of this corner bead very easily.” Watch the full video below for more tips and tricks on installing corner bead 👇 📺: https://lnkd.in/gZea-xxD #USGBuildIt #CornerBead #Sheetrock Brand

We’re thrilled to share the results of USG’s 11th Annual Company-Wide Food Drive! This year, we collected over 70,000lbs of food, toiletries, and baby supplies and more than $30,500 in monetary donations, which equates to more than 91,500 meals. Every donation matters, and we couldn’t have made this possible without the dedication of over 20 USG locations across North America. All supplies have been donated to local food banks and charities. USG is committed to playing an active and positive role in the communities where we live, work and play. We work to support and improve the lives of our collective hometowns through service, partnerships and monetary donations. A big thank you to all USG employees who participated! #FoodDrive #GiveBack #USGBuildIt #ProudToBeUSG
