Tip of the cap to you boys. This is hard work man. I’ve been on a crawlspace encapsulation project for the last couple of months and decided to finish some knee walls that were never completed. Been taking my time and doing it right. Tying existing to new with rebar, ladders, grouting cells, etc. It takes a special kind of mindset to work in an industry where literally everything is heavy as hell.
Getting the mud just right is the key. If it doesn’t stick to your trowel with a little slap on the board you’re screwed. I’ll be honest; I almost called a guy in, but stuck with it and it’s super satisfying when it comes together.
