SAEF ....we always tell the "suits" that walk in on our jobs "DO NOT touch the walls! Your black suits will be white!"...wait until the mud starts flying! We can track white footprints for miles!!!
I don't hang much drywall these days but boy do we sand!! That dust will carry for miles also. I hate it, especially ceilings. We get covered in it, even with masks.
We breath so much stuff...dirt, dust, drywall products, cement, diesel fumes all the time. Not the most desirable conditions for sure. Could be why us guys usually don't live too long...
oh, and bad habits/vices usually comes with our trades....
smoking, drugs, drinking, ex-wives....
Your drywall tapers/finishers will tape and finish the walls for tile or paint. They will texture the walls either by hand or with a machine depending on the type of texture, or your walls may be a smooth finish w/o texture.
I'm curious to what your state codes are concerning green board. We have used green board for 30 years or so but the codes and reasons have changed here in California for it's use.
I will get back to you, I want to make a call to our tile guy before I say anything that would be upsetting to you.
And FYI...I am going to a multi-million dollar job tomorrow to tape and start the finish on some bathrooms on a Toyota dealership...with
green board walls
Be good
