we are currently mudding, as long as the owner doesnt make any changes we should be good
Looks like you waist deep into it at this point .
Two weeks. Wow! Are you sleeping at all. Love seeing the pictures.
Is….is that….is that the sun???? How do you work in such conditions?!?!?!? Seriously, that is one heck of a time crunch! Wow!
Two weeks is doable with the right crew. Looking at the pictures is that horsehair plaster. I hate tearing that stuff out and blending it back in. From what I can see you guys are on a roll good luck and lets hope the owner does not come up with any change orders.

Horse hair? Never seen that before but it is cement plaster, blending it is not so bad I’ve done it so much all the old houses around Beverly hills and Hollywood area are like that, and i do feel change orders coming.
Horse hair plaster is a lime based plaster with animal hair, usually horse, as a binder, gypsum plaster usually has something like perlite. I helped tear out horse hair that was so shaggy it was like a muddy bearskin rug.
