comment What structure is required for my neighbors adjoining fence?
I second the notion of requesting the post to be properly set. I find it amazing that they did this to be quite honest.

comment How do I prepare a ceiling for restomping?
I just rolled on the mud as thick as I could and stomped it all. You can see the patched areas as the other areas have both patterns but it is pretty good. I think knocking it all down while moist would have helped hide the patches if I ever have to do it again.

comment What type of nail gun is recommended?
I used the combustion Paslode guns when I installed plantation shutters for a living. They were nice for jobs where I had to run from room to room. I know Dewalt made a cordless one that was getting crazy reviews from contractors. Instead of a cylinder with combustion it used a flywheels to pinch and throw the nail.

I don't think they are meant to handle a compression load in that axis.

I think people call the design Rosebud. I don't think stomping a ceiling would be difficult, but it is in eyeshot of another ceiling, so I may get someone who knows what they are doing to try and match it.

I just bought a brush at lunch to do this, but now I am wondering if I have the right one. How do I know which brush type did this design?
