Okay, my first ever drywall and I know what I did wrong. I just didn’t think that small indifference would make it look obviously bad.

But here it is, I will do it different on the rest of the walls but I’m just gonna leave it for what it is: me acting like someone who can do drywalls and wanted to save money lol

Didn’t do the bottom part yet so I am def not done but holy moly…

How bad can someone mud? Me: Hm My wife: “Well atleast it’s done. Not good, but done and we saved money for vacation”

What makes it even more hilarious is that in my mind I was sure if I use paint that has sand in it it’s gonna cover that LOL. Fail…

      100%. Not to mention you probably spent $50 on this, maybe a bit more. You would have pulled your hair out thinking how much a pro would cost you and it wouldn’t be better by much.

      Yeah dunno our mirror is gonna be across that part anyways (I hope it will cover that up) but well you can see I sanded to much mud or didn’t put enough mud across the plasterboard so thats why there is a “dent”.

      To me I gotta say it doesn’t look fine but looks fine enough for saving that much money lol.

        Go look carefully at the rest of the drywall in your house. I bet you’ll find similar spots that the original professionals did.

    A) that actually looks better than a lot of “pro” work I’ve run across.

    B) if it’s that much of an issue for you I think a teensy bit of sanding and very light puttying and then paint and you can get those seams out.

    I’ve done worse. Walled in an unneeded doorway. The seam on one side is clearly visible. But I was trying to get it done in time to host Christmas and it was done very hastily. I’ll fix it one of these days. …probably.
