OT: Anyone do drywall taping? Options

[chunger]

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.

ok, I don't suck as bad as I think, but I'm SLOW.

Thinner is better. Don't try to cover or fill the seams all at once.
I usually buy the mud in a 50 lb block. 1st tape is with regular wieght mud. 2nd 3rd and 4th if required is with light weight mud. tape with 6" knife, go heavy on the wall push in tape and knife off 75% of what you put on .

use 8" then 10" and 12" knife as the layers go on. There is a corner taping knife that works well but it looks like you are past that.

If you have to sand lots to get everthing smooth you are putting too much mud on.

Oh I always steal the wifes cake mixer to get the mud creamy like a milk shake. goes on real nice.
