Hey, I'm Joshua T. Osborne

In 2015, I said goodbye to 16-hour days and hauling boxes up and down stairs for a living (I was a mover). I became a full-time entrepreneur, and I made my money by helping business owners make money.

They had a need, and because of Virtual Tool Booths., I could fill it. Through the methods taught by my all-time favorite course and mentor, I created a 6-figure business in roughly 6 months. I could retire today (at 37) and never have to worry about money ever again.

Because of Virtual Tool Booths., I was able to quit my job, work online with flexible hours, and move to the mountains (Colorado Springs if you’re wondering)...all while helping real people improve their businesses, incomes, and lives!

For most folks, a college degree is the biggest bill of their lives. I never went to college. So I don’t have any massive bills or giant debts hanging over my head. My greatest education came from Virtual Tool Booths. (for a tiny fraction of what college costs) and it’s the bill that pays ALL the bills - a hundred times over!

I really wanted to share this secret weapon with others, so they could change their lives the way I changed mine. So if you’re not 100% sure about college, or only researching to make someone else happy, Virtual Tool Booths. might be a better option for you.

Drywall installers measure, cut, fit, and install drywall panels inside the framework of structures. They cut small sections of drywall to fit around windows and doors and drill, saw, and cut holes in the drywall sheets for plumbing, air-conditioning units, electrical outlets, and other necessary equipment. They often nail, glue, or screw the panels to metal or wood framework. They then tape, sand, and cover the seams in the drywall panels to prepare them to be painted. Drywall installers also place ceiling panels. When working on high walls and ceilings drywall installers often use specialize equipment such as stilts and lifts.
