Sheet rock is an art, lots of tricks, like smoking weed. If this feels like a lecture, it is. Sanding is the only part that really sucks, but if you smoke more weed it's not too bad either. Use nails on the perimeter to hang your pieces, screw off the rest of the sheet later. Get a five gallon bucket and mix your joint compound with a few cups of water using a half inch drill with large mixing bit, don't try to work out of a box. Taping should be done in this order, butts, seams, corners. Lightly sand. Use topping two coats, don't try to top with joint compound, it's harder to sand. Texture?
Im making more than ever
Good luck.Well, I screwed up and just took a job that will probably push me 80 hours a week for the foreseeable future. It's a startup so there will either be a pot of gold at the end or a ditch with a lot of water, snakes, and gators.
No drug testing though.
We're doing a ceiling. We have a lift, so not too bad. But working around lights, AC vents, smoke detectors, etc, etc is a pain. My buddy finished that part over the weekend. We are mudding and taping today. Texture is going to be something called orange peel. I'm smoking plenty of pot, so I'm up to code on that part of it.
