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?

No amount of advice in a newsgroup or reading a book will teach you as much as watching a professional do it for 5 minutes. I learned that the hard way by trying to tape from a book, finally hired a pro and saw my mistakes right off. Can now do an acceptable job (except on ceilings). Books are good for the 'what' part, only seeing it done and practice gets the 'how'. Harry K |
