Default how much drywall mud?

I just sheetrocked my garage and used 43 sheets of drywall and am ready
to start an amature tap job. How many of the 5 gallon buckets of mud
would be reasonable for a job like this? The work is pretty good as
far a things lining up and being butted up well against each other.
Had very little waste.


800 SF per five gallon bucket will put you in the right ballpark.

Check out USG's drywall handbook - it's pretty much the bible of the
industry.
