Hello,
After finding out that I officially suck at taping on a 12x12 room, I've decded to get smart and see about finding someone who won't get half the mud on the ground to do the bulk of my house. . . and who's faster. You know. . . machines and all. Or, if you're good at it and have time to show a moron how to do it right, lemme know. Otherwise, any leads to a good drywall contractor would be appreciated. -'Chung ok, I don't suck as bad as I think, but I'm SLOW. |

I'll be right over...
Wait a minute, maybe not. Bed the tape in with some mud to hold it on the wall than work it like you're putting frosting on a cake. Or bondo on a trunk lid. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Paul |
