Okay, my first ever drywall and I know what I did wrong. I just didn’t think that small indifference would make it look obviously bad.
But here it is, I will do it different on the rest of the walls but I’m just gonna leave it for what it is: me acting like someone who can do drywalls and wanted to save money lol
Didn’t do the bottom part yet so I am def not done but holy moly…
How bad can someone mud? Me: Hm My wife: “Well atleast it’s done. Not good, but done and we saved money for vacation”
What makes it even more hilarious is that in my mind I was sure if I use paint that has sand in it it’s gonna cover that LOL. Fail…
Honestly looks fine to me
Yeah dunno our mirror is gonna be across that part anyways (I hope it will cover that up) but well you can see I sanded to much mud or didn’t put enough mud across the plasterboard so thats why there is a “dent”.
To me I gotta say it doesn’t look fine but looks fine enough for saving that much money lol.
Go look carefully at the rest of the drywall in your house. I bet you’ll find similar spots that the original professionals did.
I don’t know, bruh. You can pay a “pro” and get a marginally better result.
100%. Not to mention you probably spent $50 on this, maybe a bit more. You would have pulled your hair out thinking how much a pro would cost you and it wouldn’t be better by much.
That’s what happens when you do it yourself. You notice the flaws more.
I spent months redoing my bathroom. I moved a wall, re-routed plumbing installed a new tub, and tiled. So much tiling. I ripped some out I was so pissed at how it went in. I still see every spot that I didn’t like.
After that experience I went into the bathroom at my work and looked at the tiling in there. The tiles directly in front of the unrinal I’ve been peeing in for 6+years. They were way worse than some of the stuff I was fussing over, and I never noticed.
Give yourself credit for finishing the fucking job. Learn to not make the same mistakes, and go out and make new mistakes to learn from.
I’ve done worse. Walled in an unneeded doorway. The seam on one side is clearly visible. But I was trying to get it done in time to host Christmas and it was done very hastily. I’ll fix it one of these days. …probably.
Thats called learning
It has been 15+ years since I have drywalled but that looks absolutely fine. Yeah it’s a clear seam but it’s straight and along an edge. Paint and the general noise of decorations and wall hangings will make it disappear just fine.
What’s the issue, the line? Honestly looks fine if that’s the case. I don’t see anything else that sticks out but maybe in person it’s more noticeable
Perfect is the enemy of good and you did really good!
A) that actually looks better than a lot of “pro” work I’ve run across.
B) if it’s that much of an issue for you I think a teensy bit of sanding and very light puttying and then paint and you can get those seams out.
