Garcha Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Condo I did yesterday had some issues with the seam tape at the fire wall in the attic. I would have to say at least 40% has fallen off and it looks like it was painted on. I called it but could use some opinions on the importance of the tape. Thanks!

paul burrell Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Sounds like the installer cut some corners. It is my impression that joint tape should be bedded in dry wall mud and a skim coat applied after that. The open seams are not proper. However I guess they are better than nothing. I would have written it up as improper fire wall installation. Just my 2 cents which sometimes is not worth much. When I give my kids advice they start coughing and their eyes glaze over. They have a college education so how could I know anything[:-graduat[:-bigmout. Paul B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garcha Posted October 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Thanks Paul. I called it the same way. It was actually painted on with thinned down JC. The cost of repair isn't more than a couple hundred, and the buyer can deal with it. I am very fortunate both of my kids are young and they still think I'm smart. It is kind of cute.[:-paperba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
