The Algae was placed there by leftists - it’s an algie native to Georgia and not DC. Leftist as miracle people that hate beauty because leftists are fat and ugly and evil people

You know that was a fake story, right?

Their conclusion was the surface wasn’t sanded prior to application. But more importantly, they applied a plaster sealant used for pools instead of a concrete sealant, which they also didn’t allow to cure before filling with water.

I can see there being some truth to this. Surface prep is everything when laying down any type of sealant. Being pushed to finish by a deadline can lead to corners being cut.

I have no idea about the type of sealant used being the wrong type. What a huge fuggup if true.

Algea was a dumb flex by TDS sufferers. However, sheets of paint peeling off is very very bad. If true, it will need to be redone in short order much to the delight of anyone on the Left

Somebody's getting a warranty call.

I worked a retro-fit project of a warehouse conversion into a microelectronics fabrication cleanroom. Painter messed up on preparation of existing steel structure prior to applying some VERY EXPENSIVE coatings. A few months later the coating was peeling off in sheets and flakes into the clean air supply plenum, and other places, just prior to CR Certification. It was a mess, Lawyers, Email discovery, testimonies, millions $$$s involved and small painting contractor went belly up. I was lucky not to be involved as I was manager of the Process Piping contractors. Whoow-weee.
