Tape - wallboard joint and masking

I have applied yellow fiberglass mesh wallboard joint tape on both sides of the corner bead and blue masking the wood parts of the windows. Eli often adds material where he thinks it will make the building better. I am occasionally pushing the scaffold around for Eli. (I asked Eli if he used stilts, and he said he might try them, but he is leery. For someone as well coordinated as he, I cannot imagine a problem.)Masking is not exciting work, but I can do it well. I am tall enough to do the vertical sides of the windows easily, but need to stand on a bench to easily the top part of the windows. This masking tape will protect the unfinished wood from the mud when the inside of the window openings are mudded.

The vertical grain DouglasFir has arrived for the window sills and other interior wood trim.

The plasterers applied the second coat of stucco (with fiberglass reinforcing mesh) to the mechanical room and the portal parapets and walls. At my request they also raked up much of their mess. The trash trailer is about a third full of waste plaster now!
