How Difficult is Taping/Mudding Drywall?

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
Taping/mudding requires some skill. I've done many times but it takes
me 2 or 3X longer than someone with the skill. Read up on the
procedure and take your time. Use the metal tape or metal channel for
outside corners. A work light helps to inspect the work and locate
the bumps/mistakes.
