This was my first time finishing drywall and WOW it is a LOT of work!!!

For years, I avoided learning this skill, but when the drywall in my garage drywall had to be replaced recently, I took it as an opportunity to save money and learn how to install and finish drywall myself. In this video, I'm excited to share all the valuable tips and tricks I've learned along the way. Join me as I share the process of taping and mudding seams, sanding, skim coating, and achieving a great finish through priming and painting.
