[papercreters] Re: Finishing The Top Of Infill Wall

Thanks Sasah
Don't know what you are refering to when you say lifts, as far as I know there hasn't been any sagging on anything yet : )
We are pressing in by hand on the last go around of the wall we will wait two weeks let it dry good then put the ceiling up. Go back around pressing in more PC let it dry again and continue doing this until there is no more shrinkage. Then when we do the final stucco on the out side we will wrap it up and onto the roof forming a small parapet so the water does not run down the walls we have run off spouts on the down sides of the roof.
