In the past 2 or 3 years we have hung new sheet rock in a few of the

aren't pushing through they are just showing through. Any ideas on
what we are doing wrong? Thanks!

Did you put tape and spackle over the tape?
Try Google on installing sheet rock.

Google won't help you if you don't know not to put tape over screws.
Tape goes over joints; you just use mud (not "spackle") over screws.


You are right but screws are often very near joints.
