How Difficult is Taping/Mudding Drywall?
Cindy wrote: Hello, We're about to remove some paneling that has sheetrock underneath. Our guess is there was never any taping done to it or it will need major repair from the paneling coming off. I've never attempted this before and although everything looks fairly straightforward on TV, is this something a DYI'er could accomplish fairly easily? Thanks, Cindy I drywalled, taped and mudded my basement because I'm a DIY kind of guy. Everybody told me to hire out the taping and mudding, but I always want to do something at lease ONCE. Well, that's the total amount of taping and mudding I'll ever do in my life, ONCE. It's certainly not brain surgery, but it is a skill that is learned over time, and while my taping and mudding looks great, it took a hell of a lot of time. If I were to pay myself, I probably made 5 bucks an hour. I finally got pretty good at it... right about at the time when I was finished!! HIRE IT OUT. |
