When we built our house 7 years ago, I swore that I would never do sheetrock work again- ever. Well, you know how it's considered wise to never say never.:mrgreen: My husband and I are building his workshop, so I can get his hunting, fishing, and hobby stuff out of the guest room, and we are now at the sheetrock stage. I HATE SHEETROCK!
I don't mind putting it up, and I don't mind cutting in holes for fixtures, but taping and bedding has got to be one of the top 10 worst jobs in the world. Anyone here have any helpful hints or shortcuts for getting smooth seams? I don't want to texture, but would prefer smooth walls. Paper tape, or mesh tape? Lightweight mud or the cheaper stuff? Does it really make much difference?
Thanks for reading my rant.:lol:
