        "text": "Basement drywall finishing follows a multi-step sequence designed to achieve a durable, continuous surface. First, drywall boards are hung horizontally or vertically, securing them tightly to the studs. Next, paper or fiberglass tape is embedded in joint compound along all seams and inside corners, while metal or vinyl beads are installed on outside corners. The crew then applies two additional coats of compound over seams, corners, and fastener heads, feathering each layer outward. After the final coat cures completely, the walls are hand- or pole-sanded smooth. Dust is cleared before applying drywall primer, texture if desired, and finish paint coats.",
