You’re not saying anything coherent anyways

I'm done here. I won't argue with Idealists. it's a waste of time.

Why don’t you want to feed people?

It’s legit mud. Like mud from outside.

So you don't want to feed 8 Billion people.

Youtube is a fantastic resource for learning how to do stuff.

Are you kidding me? That’s the exact point that I’m trying to make is that all this needless deviation from historically proven traditions is causing terrible calamities such as the extinction of the entire biosphere! Plastic instead of glass and wood? Giving up millennia old forestry practices and causing historic and unnecessary wildfires? The earth is dead because we want to do things new and different instead of tried and true. You beat me to the punchline but somehow have the opposite point of view, I’m completely baffled to be honest. Traditional farming, building and social practices could have stopped a lot of this.

On the other hand humans are the most effective natural iterative design network the universe has ever seen.

Lol keep telling yourself this. It is stopping us from saving the earth.

Do you know how many people out there are trying to differentiate themselves by deviating their approach ever so slightly, usually adopting older parallel abandoned but slightly less effective methods? This is called ego and marketing and humans are sick with that stuff. There’s a reason things are done a certain way, and it’s a good reason. But this reason only holds if your source of knowledge isn’t a complete block head and is focused on doing things the right way for the sake of doing it the right way, rather than other reasons. Then there is also incompetence.

Old tradesmen Fucking hate change or doing things differently then they were taught.

Working Hourly?

He used a few screws to temporarily hold it in place

I find, at least personally, a lot of carpenters over estimate their work and underestimate how bad it can look. I'm biased, but carpenters are the bane of my existence

I do it professionally, doing work for the union in cleveland for a multi-million dollar company. You don't "finish sand" on bed coats, you do what we call a brush down. The goal is any lap marks or edges will be buffed out, which means it's easier to box over. Then at the end you finish sand, using lights and hand sponges to make sure it's smooth. Some guys don't sand and just cut edges with a knife but personally i think their work looks worse than just brushing it down.

I’d say it’s the most difficult to master or at least make look serviceable

I wouldn’t say I miss it but I do appreciate knowing the trade as it’s made every bathroom remodel and basement improvement much easier and cheaper in the years since I had that job.

Yep. That’s why my son won’t do it. I do high end work. I also specialize in texture and making ceilings dead flat from texture

Yours. probably turned out better than ours. We also textured the ceilings which I found to be ugly.

Had that job for about a year between college and high school. The sanding days were what convinced me to go to college. Lol

We always sand. There and in th e towers

Sure. Just talk a quick walk around the place with your 6" knife and scrape off any ridges you see between coats. Not a lot found when using boxes tbh. Always some in the corners but most of the seams were already good.

For a whole house?

Nah. We just scraped the seams down between coats.

I once saw him install a window using only spray foam insulation.

Another vote for the California patch. Ive done a number of them in my house. Can’t even tell they are there.
