The trick is to have a high skill level at "Stilt walking", because,I do I do. Lol. As much as I hate drywall, I am at a master finisher level. I know way too many tricks for my bodies liking. Lol.
I try not to do too much mudwork any more as it makes my wrists ache. Haha, but I have a patch job to do today. Lmfao.
Seems to me it would be a pretty good fall from the stilt alone to the floor much less in a stairwell. I used to paint behind you guys stairwell suck. Last finisher i worked with could do 8' ceilings without the stilts. I am not sure how tall he was but he was a big boy. The damndest finisher i have ever seen was a guy that did a lot of the finish sanding with his bare hands. The dude had no finger prints. He was telling me he got arrested one night drunk and disorderly. They keep trying but could not get a print.LOLThe trick is to have a high skill level at "Stilt walking", because,
it's a long way to fall down a set of stairs. lol
I add drywall snot to my organic mix when I'm doing a finishing job. lolSeems to me it would be a pretty good fall from the stilt alone to the floor much less in a stairwell.

When i was still painting they would call that level 5 work. Then the fucking decorators want a shinny finish on the wall. Always challenging in the two and sometimes three story high foyers with a lot of light from big windows.I add drywall snot to my organic mix when I'm doing a finishing job. lol
If you're a decent finisher, there is little sanding. We used to skim coat the walls at times. Our finishing was smoother than the board. A bad sander man can screw up the drywall and will get a "hairy" separation between the board and your feather lines. In darkness, with a light, casting a side shadow on the wall, is the key to a beautiful finish.
Then comes the painters and their "lap" marks. lol
Damn @stiickygreen that old trailer is in great looking shape. Must have been well cared for. What year was she built.Day 5 of 12/12....LOL.... Still have the tar paper to do on one side. Still gotta order a metal roof. Still need to do some trim/wrap/fill on the extended legs....but other than that...check the fuckin' box ....
and remind me not to do this again.... (fun...like drywall....and stone laying....and picking rocks...)

After all of our craftmen hrs, and skills, they fuckin' "wallpaper" it. DirtyWhen i was still painting they would call that level 5 work. Then the fucking decorators want a shinny finish on the wall.

I have done a lot of wallpaper removal and i would never bid it. Strictly time and material. I have seen it fall off the wall and i have seen it were you should consider replacing the dry wall. I remember one job the customers must have been heavy cigarette smokers . I ran a paper tiger lightly around the room and shot it with some hot water. Went outside to smoke a cigarette and when i came back into the room all of the wallpaper was on the floor. Smoke film on the walls prior to wallpapering i guess. Damn wish i would have bid that one.LOLFuck wallpaper. Can't wrap my head around why anyone would want to use it. Pain in the ass to work with, and it's ugly as fuck 99% of the time.
A '57 Kenskill. Very clean inside with only a bit of water spotting/damage. Has ash or birch all over w/ curved corners. They don't make the newer junk like this. No particle board or ink >printed< wood/etc... sucker weighs over 3500 pounds. Still has the original refrig/stove... "Refrigerator made by General Motors" sticker on the inside and a silver martini glass as the pull to get into the freezer compartment.Damn @stiickygreen that old trailer is in great looking shape.

That is the stuff that makes all the shit a Person goes thru worth it, hanging with the Yung unsMy daughter and I took the dog for a walk and some neighborhood garage sale shopping.
Picked up a like new really nice hiking backpack for $10. A vacuum cleaner for $5, a good one even.
And some various things my daughter wanted for another $10. Lol, she got a large pile of cool stuff.
