As a “ceiling guy “ I really have a dislike for tappers who don’t fan out there corners at least 12 inches it really shows if they flare out when you put that molding on …sorry for blowing up your thread talking about work lol

no problem, it’s my life really…don’t do much else…grow pot and work…
Kill myself now and reap the rewards later…
Right now is NUTS what contractors are willing to pay for tapers, cause all the lazy cerb check getters are staying home, so there’s no one to work.
If you’re even half decent you can make a killing, shit I just made just under 10k in the last 2 weeks…mind you, I’m going full out to make it, but…get it when the getting good right!?

Well I’m no taper but when you sand I’d rather do long strokes and cover more ground opposed to sanding a four inch square lol plus sheet rock burs out if you hit it with sanding block one two many times

I get paid by the square foot.
I would never do this hourly, unless it was huge cathedral ceilings, where I need to keep tearing down scaffold, or some crazy meticulous work involved.
Those extra lines are where the screws are lined up, and I just run my nail spotter right across them. Makes for quicker timing and looks neater for the owners and contractors

This building I’m in, is 3 years behind, so the crunch is on… the boarders are just throwing it up and not giving a fuck.
“Meh, taper will fix it”
Next time I hear that come outta a boarders mouth…I’m gonna tack him in one of the walls.

How are you heading the time off? Time away from plants.

LoL I’m about to be taking a break and I know it’s going to be weird not having any plants in the house. How are you handling it? Any impulses to pop seeds?

Oh lordy! lol Been there, done that… some serious back breaking work you’re into cuz! But looking very nicely done. The finish will make all of it worthwhile, just in being able to look at things and say “I did this”!
