What do you think about dust shelves? I was thinking about throwing a t8 up there and vegging some plants. Why not rite?

F*** yeah, she's starting to look like a home. Nice neat drywall work...I can't wait to see it taped & mudded. I really can't wait to see it ALL finished, and you kicking back on the sofa! For a minute anyways!!

I have a Taper contractor lined up. I just don’t have the tools anymore, let alone the time. He sub’s out all the shitrock hanging, as does everyone else around here. I asked him how much I saved hanging the board. Guess how much?

They don’t use them! Lol.

[Aeroknow]

About 2500 for the shitrock

I wouldn't tape a whole house either...Those guys that do it every day are like lightning and it will look perfect!!

I have a friend who is a plasterer...old school Italian fancy designed rough coat plaster ceilings and walls....Beautiful shit. Every house I have renovated...he has done the ceilings. Last job he did, it was $40 per sheet to hang it and finish it. Ththat's was how he figured price. And he did the job in 2 half days...2 big ceilings and a hallway.

 

[Aeroknow]

Mother fuckers. My buddies! Fuckin plasterers.
cocksuckers(no homophobic)
Bastards. They demand 300 a day now. Wtf man.

we did experience a very major catastrophe round here though

About 2500 for the shitrock

So $1500 labor??

 

[Aeroknow]

No 4k labor

but i still wouldn’t do it for someone else. I’m too old now.

 

[manfredo]

Damn labor is up like everything else! At least you know it's done right!!

I got a letter from my propane supplier. Propane gas is at a 5 year high, right now...and usually the price goes way down in the summer. Murphy's law. I converted from wood to propane fireplace last year! It's going to cost me. Might be time to put a mini split in. Better yet, move somewhere warmer!

When I was young my dad had a set. I don't know how he came by them but there they were in his garage. God I loved those things.

 

[Aeroknow]

Subbing out the taping.
I’m already babysitting the plasterers. Yes, i helped sling the mud up on the walls. And as a lather i am the dumb ass who makes sure the scaffold is set up for them.
Fucking plasterers

 

[Aeroknow]

Got the cabinet guy coming for final measurements in like 30 min.
later!

Oh wow, the guy I spoke of wore them all the time. But he was old school, learned the trade from his dad and did it his entire life. He just retired. I went to school with the guy. So no more cheap ceilings for me

You'll get fucked either way: move to a warmer clime and the AC will kill you in summer.
