concrete emitts moisture for years and years

Let's see, I'm advising to take care of the moisture problem before
finishing the basement and not rely on greenboard for protection, you
argue against taking care of the moisture problem because concrete
gives off moisture for years and years.

Beside being an excellent example of frontier gibberish, you have no
idea what you are talking about. Concrete does not release moisture
for years. Moisture _may_ pass through the concrete, but there is
only a limited amount of moisture in concrete mix.

are you kiddin me
1400 sf
we would be home by 3pm

3 hours to hang and 5 hours to plaster
and only 3 guys
damn we must be good.

I really must apologize. I am standing in the presence of greatness.
Less than a week ago you were telling us about the plasterer you
_hired_ using _nails_ to tack up board on metal stud, and now you've
graduated into Super Plasterer. I stand in awe of your learning
ability.

I can hardly wait until next week's installment where you explain your
technique for reattaching severed limbs. I guess you watch this show
a lot:

If it were that fast, no one would use,

only the cheap *******s do use drywall/tape/compound
and home owners who don't know any better.

Feel better?
