I’m learning how to drywall. Tomorrow I’m off to the big(ger) city to get supplies and tacos, and then it’s time to get to work on my drywall.

Taco Tuesday. Good luck with the drywall.

Use plaster instead of the tape

I hate drywall.

This weekend was the first what-felt-like-a-weekend since the Difficulties began.

I you can, match the thickness of the patch  your existing drywall. It makes for a lot better result.

I did not originally intend to base a plan around Taco Tuesday on Cinco de Mayo, but I’ll be damned if I won’t make it work.

I also need to replace the corner piece of metal.

And if you’re doing anything other than the very last skim coat, use the powder and mix it yourself.  The 45 or the 90 will setup quick for recoating.  But try to keep it in thin flat coats and you’ll have a lot less sanding to do.

I’ve been doing home improvement and construction projects with my family since before I could walk. My brothers, dad, and I flipped a house a few years back. You know the one thing we refuse to do?

Yeah, dry wall. Hanging it is one thing, but finishing it? Total black magic art wizardry.

A good dry waller is worth his weight in gold.

I figure I’ll just try to idiot savant my way through it and see how well it goes.

Pretty cool tricks in that video. Makes drywalling almost seem fun! I won’t be fooled though. Sanding is THE WORST
