Izza and I just finished out modern house construction; now we're starting on finishing the basement to create a one bedroom apartment to bring in some extra income!

This episode is all about drywall tape and mud. For some jobs, I prefer to bring it the pros. Drywall taping is mudding is one of those jobs. We explain the process of drywall tapping and mudding. This includes taping and mudding the flats and butt joints, drywall corners, and ceilings. We discuss the sequence of drywall mud coats: rough first coat, clean up second coat and finally the finishing third coat. We explore drywall taping tools and watch a pro do his job and gives us some pro tips. These tips and tricks from a master mudder should give you enough confident to do it yourself.

This series is going to be a series of small construction vlogs as I tackle this DIY construction project mostly by myself. Stay tuned!
