Sheetrock work sucks

But the sanding of the seams when tapping and bedding are the absolute worst.

Of all construction tasks, drywall finishing is the one I hate most.

Yea… and when your done sanding the seams you look like the Pillsbury Dough boy. Or the Stay Puff Marshmellow-Man. Hard to tell which one being that you’re covered in white powder.

Helped the folks build the house on the farm. Took them several years, since 99.99% of the work was done by us and family/friends.

Guess I was about 11 when I learned about applying and later sanding the mud and tape.

Years ago I did a bunch of sheetrock finishing and I swore I’d never do it again.

funny how I keep finding myself doing it…
