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!

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

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 :(

I’m a union drywall lather by trade. Tapers just don’t use them out in the commercial world. I got in in ‘92. Pretty sure its a liability issue. They are not osha approved that is for sure.
Some of the non-union heads around here still use them turns out. The taper contractor i hired said hell no when i asked him. I actually asked him that lmao.

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.

I miss my stilts. The wife sold them when I retired, {behind my back} probably best for me but damn, the fun. I used to take my kids trick or treating in a super log trench coat and my head at about 8 feet! Used to do the Halloween costume contests at the bar in the golden days!!!

You know, the pimp ass shit that looks like old school lath and plaster(shitrock replaced it) is a veneer finish.
We hang blue board. Their veneer finish sticks to it best but you can also glue regular rock. The plasters apply about an 1/16-1/8 “ veneer coat of some hard as rock plaster. they do it allot on the corridor walls of hospitals.
if i was rich,and i was building a mansion, i would do that and do terrazzo floors
Both cost bank :-(
