Mason Needs Help


I'm a mason on the other section of this board. I'm finishing off my basement, doing it out of pocket and only hired an electrician and plumber.
So, you guessed it, I'm chief hanger and taper also. Can any one show me a website that can help me with the basics? I can stucco and done some EIFS
but nothing has prepared me for tape and mud.

Here's a very good book,
helped my son learn better
than I did.
You can find this at bookstores
and some home centers as
well as at Taunton.

Re: Mason Needs Help


You're just talking nonsense.

A man of your stature should have a brick veneer in his basement.

In case you were confused and thought you were in the diy section, I don't think you are.
