I guess I'm lucky. In one and a half houses and two kitchens my wife has done all the taping and mudding and some of the texturing. Needless to say I tell her the job is perfect. Dick B.

This is what happens when, while working at top speed, you stop -- and your yarmulke suddenly shifts forward onto your forehead.

He is suffering the torments of the dammed. I despise dry wall work. Can't wait till I have that first primer coat on.

The two obviouis questions:
1) Why wear a dust mask for mudding?
2) Why wear it on your forehead?
BTW, I like mudding and tapping, but I'd rather hang drywall. It's really cool to see bare studs transformed into finished space, IMO.

Obvious answer to both questions...
It's on the top of big bald head to keep it from falling on it and sliding into my eyes.
p.s. - You like mudding???? That's just not right.

It's odd I personally like sanding and finishing wood, but I HATE!!!!! drywall .. I either panel or put the drywall up and hire my nephew who is a journeyman drywall/plaster to come, mud, tape and finish for me.. then I prime & paint. I don't MUDD ... EVER!
I did one whole house in my youth and learned why my old man had a completely paneled or t&g pine our house.. never never again!

I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.

Schlop that stuff on there like mad, Glenn. Work it in again and again and again, so it sets up real good.
And if it doesn't turn out so well - there's nothing to worry about. The paint will make it look just fine.
I only had to follow this procedure fourteen times before the missus finally understood the value of subbing this phase out - which is, of course, the real purpose of this approach.
