I am from a family of builders, from concrete to rough build, to drywall.

I learned to mudd at an early age, not by choice, but my father wanted me to fix things on my own. I also have the honor of learned wet plaster.

Drywall in the north, your builder uses screws, not nails, seams are mudded, a simple process kind of like a crumb coating on a cake. Seams are sanded. By by late teens I could finish a wall as quick as those who taught me.

Then primer is sprayed I use two coats, then paint.

When they we building our second home in TV I happened to be there when we’re doing drywall. What they accomplish in a day would take me two, and your seams do not have to blend perfectly, with popcorn, or orange peel
