I agree with mudding being hard because our house flooded in 2016 and we couldn’t find a contractor so we pulled Sheetrock and had to cut, replace and mud it and it was so hard to get it smooth plus the DUST! It was horrible and we said we’d never do it again until my brother in law’s basement flooded and we went to help. We learned some lessons and used power sanders but still hated it.
I am in the same situation. And I just keep walking into my garage and walking back out. Trying to smooth out with the contractors. Did not do is exhausting. I’m going to follow you so that you give me inspiration.
I went threw the same thing, with a flood. It came out pretty good I was shocked. My friends say I should do it as a side hustle. But the only reason it came out good is because I took my time and did alota sanding. I give alota respect to drywallers !!!!
Love the video and yes I was watching it for the garage but wait a minute here… what is that on the bottom of your deck that gives you the ceiling there? That is very nice I like that it keeps the rain out.
Gotta switch out the sheet rock. This is usually a level 1 and you would need to upgrade to a level 3 and it’s costly! But gotta get to the beams if you want to enjoy a finished garage and be able to hang heavy things etc etc on those walls.
Level 1 just stands for how much finish, level one is just tape and a bit of mud, level 2 you mud the joints better, 3 is smooth joints, 4 is smooth and ready for paint but not perfect, 5 is skimming the walls to perfection
You need a much wider curved trowel, you are using probably a 10" wide flat blade, so it's hard for you to cover the seam with that tool unless you have experience. Use your wrist and push hard where you want it thin, and let off where you want it built up. If you put too much mud on, just use 60 grit paper and take it down fast. Watch some YT videos and you'll have a better chance at making seamless walls... Seams should end up 16" - 20" wide by the time it's flat, a very wide slow transition.
You could have just stipple the mud all over I mixed in color and stipple all the walls since it is garage it doesn’t have to look great Turned out great with way less work
It’s not hard it’s costly adding about 7-10k worth of labor and materials. This really needs to be taken down to the studs as the walls are not the right level 3 fire proof sheet rock this is a one hour which is minimum needed for a contractor! Most won’t finish it with level 3 and will leave it just like this and some won’t even offer the service! But don’t let an assessor in the home or else they’ll add the value to the taxes!
You actually did way better spackling then most home owners. A bucket of dish soapy warm water to dip the blade helps if ur not great at doing it. Most homeowners blob it on and make it worst. Great job
Actually what the contractos did was what every home builder does. Its called "fire taping" and its only meants to seal the joints with the layer of tape to block air flow. Also, it was hard for you because youre using the wrong mud with the wrong technique and the wrong tools for the job. Lol its relatively easy when you do it correctly.

😊 Ashley, I think the sheer size of the garage is the element that made it the "hard part" 😂 Few things are as tedious as taping and finishing joints!
Where is the next part. Can't find in your channel. Link would be great

Kudos to you for doing it without much help. I would have asked as many friends to help as possible 😂
I really wish I would have lol it was pretty miserable
Very Impressive and high energy attitude
Is there a part 2?
I give you credit for trying to spackle. It is an art form. It’s very tedious work. This is my first trade and I hate it to this day. Good luck!
Where is your part 2
Great job!
Thank you!

You don't have to get it perfectly smooth. You use a sander on the spots when your done.
Work smarter not harder.
You could have just stipple the mud all over

Turned out great with way less work
It’s huuuge😂
Wow.its big
Is that a piggy wiggly shirt?
Oh man there’s a reason contractors don’t finish the garage… cause it’s HARD AF 😂

Where is part 2
THATS WHY MOST PPL even im most mansions ive worked on dont dryall the garage.
What does those white stripe lines mean? And I have seen some screw covered with mud (i guess) what does that mean?
I do drywall and paint
You deserve so much money for your work!! I don’t know how you do it. That was the worst thing I have ever done lol
Where's part 2?
Looking at the size of your room and the amount of work that has to be done makes me thankful for low ceiling UK homes lol
😂😂🙌🙌 it was completely awful. I’m jealous of the UK low ceilings too lol
@@studio_adash You did a good job though! In defence of US ceilings, your rooms get less stuffy compared to British rooms

Joint compound can usually be damp sanded smooth and it’s better than super dusty sanding
Drywall is a art .I MUST MASTER IT. I do good with areas that need texture but no texture areas thats where skill and finess comes in

How do you do it correctly? What tools and what mud?
