Agree, doubt I can rent attachment for skid steer that cheap.$220 with tax and everything. I was kind of surprised it was that cheap to tell the truth.
@1911 am I looking at 18 different conduits?
@1911 this had to have taken some very advanced thinking …..And planning. But, I did forget about this being your home as well. I would also think that any change of design would make it harder but you have most of the hard work done and you can still chase thru the framing in some places
i was so excited to have my electric line and trench inspected and approved so that the power company would get to the top of the pole, I forgot to run a separate conduit in that trench for the tv and internet stuff…now that’s planning!
thank goodness for direct burial cabling
Ask LOTS of questions! I've been doing stucco and drywall since I was 17, and there's SO much I take for granted at this point. Knowing how much moisture to have or not have on the surface to be treated beforehand to control the drying rate. How much moisture to have in the product itself (varies by the layer). Some guys like to trowel lots of product and don't worry about how much falls off the tool before it's spread. There are percentages based on the tools being used.Five months later; progress is coming! We've been waiting on the builder to come back and show us how to skim/plaster over the interior concrete, and he's finally got the time to come, he'll be here Sunday night and work for us all the next week. I'm going to take the week off from any consulting work so I can observe and learn as much as possible. Anticipating this being a major step forward, which will enable us to keep forging ahead on our own and make steady progress. We're pretty excited.

If he starts in the middle of the wall, instead of the top or the bottom, there's a reason. There is so much technique that's just taken for granted after doing the same thing for decades.
You got a link to that video? Ha!I did lots of drywall without a clue. Tons of sanding. A dozen cycles of mud and sand lol. Then a friend sent me a video "How to mix your drywall mud correctly" or something. Guy showed all the tricks and explained it great. I did my shop office that's 14'x30' in no time. Taped it in an hour. Did all the mud next day in one coat. Touched up with a sponge, shot texture, painted and it looks great. Best drywall I'd done. And it was so easy with the mud mixed right and using the tools right.
