Taping with Jiggi Part 4: Second Coat and Ceiling Corners

Jiggi and crew is working on the second coat of drywall compound, this is being applied to all the ceiling and wall joints, and the outside corners get their final coat.  Prior to adding compound to the walls, they gave a quick sand to the walls to smooth the dried areas.  They also use a long tube like tool to add compound to the outside corner, and a second pass is used with the flexible angle tool to finish the corner.

This wall has recently received the second coat on the corners and joints.  The middle joint is troweled with increasing sized trowels, from 10 to 12 inches.  This feathers the joint out more so it doesnt have a bump.  This will get a third coat, the skim coat after it is dry.  The ceiling will not get another coat because we are using a knockdown finish, rather than a level 5 painted finish on this house.

Jiggi has to do the ceilings so he is strapping the stilts back on. Jiggi says he will be done by monday, so we can book our painting crew to prime the finished walls.
