Okay, my first ever drywall and I know what I did wrong. I just didn’t think that small indifference would make it look obviously bad.

But here it is, I will do it different on the rest of the walls but I’m just gonna leave it for what it is: me acting like someone who can do drywalls and wanted to save money lol

Didn’t do the bottom part yet so I am def not done but holy moly…

How bad can someone mud? Me: Hm My wife: “Well atleast it’s done. Not good, but done and we saved money for vacation”

What makes it even more hilarious is that in my mind I was sure if I use paint that has sand in it it’s gonna cover that LOL. Fail…

      There’s tons of great ones out there, but the ones who really take the time to do it right are usually self-employed. That means they’re hard to find unless you know someone who used them before, and can squeeze into their overbooked schedule.

      Most of the ones who work for companies have to work faster and cheaper in order to move on to the next project.

      It’s just tricky to build up a network of folks that really know what they are doing, and can fit you in when you just need a small project.
