| | |I finished about 1400 sq. ft. of my basement with about 46 4x8

ends

|
| nope
| the moisture will peel the paint off regular drywall
| you never use regular drywall in a basement......not here anyway.
|
| If the basement has such significant moisture

|

|
|

|
|
| concrete emitts moisture for years and years
|
| Let's see, I'm advising to take care of the moisture problem before

a dehumidifier..........no brainer!

correction
you have no idea what I am talking about
I will type slower next time..............sorry
Concrete does not release moisture
| for years.
actually it does release moisture for years
it takes aprox. 100 years for concrete to fully cure.
read up on it
Moisture _may_ pass through the concrete, but there is
| only a limited amount of moisture in concrete mix.
|
| | blueboard with plaster would have been the best choice and could
| have
| | been completed in a few hours.
| |
| | 1400 SF of skimcoat plaster in a few hours? Not even close unless
you
| | have a small army on hand.
|
|
| 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.
now you uderstand
finally
| Less than a week ago you were telling us about the plasterer you
| _hired_ using _nails_ to tack up board on metal stud,
that is correct
I hired an incompetant plasterer to do a job for me and they made a mess
everywhere.
I can't do every job
sometimes I sub the work out.
and now you've
| graduated into Super Plasterer.
graduated years ago.............................many.............. ..many
years ago.
I stand in awe of your learning
| ability.
thats what the shop teacher told me many years ago.

I opted to sub that job out
I do have limits you know.
I guess you watch this show

| If it were that fast, no one would use,
| | drywall, tape and spackle.
|
| only the cheap *******s do use drywall/tape/compound
| and home owners who don't know any better.
|
| Feel better?
a little
how bout you?
|
| | 1400 SF of skimcoat plaster would be much slower than 3 or 4
hundred
| | linear feet of tapered edge taping and spackling, and a bit of
bead
| | work. If the OP's contractor isn't resistant to using setting
type
| | compound they could skip all of the drying time.

| | R
| whats the R for................retard
| |
|
| yes, it stands for Retardo, just like it says on my lunch box. Thanks
for asking.
|
| And learn to quote correctly, ya maroon.
I just love "maroons" with coffee.
what the hell do you know Retardo
you think "spackle" is used for taping drywall.
oh boy, oh boy, oh boy
