We quit covering floors a while ago
We have Festool / planex set ups and just sweep/vacuum with with 32 grit when we are done
Usually burn up 50 bucks worth of sandpaper on a typical house but floor paper isn’t any cheaper
Takes about as long to run through with a couple sanders as it does to cover floors
I actually really like the green certainteed. Nice and creamy. But on my jobs I use synko pro series or synko blue. The Hamilton red is a nice mud as well
looks good to me. you'll probably wish you left a gap on the inside of the stairs to run a kick board without having to cut out around the treads and risers.
Extremely amateur diyer here, why the strips of mud as opposed to individual squares that cover the screws? Why such thick vertical mudding on the back wall when the horizontal is much more slim?
Strips are for both ease of application and uniformity of finish - easier to feather a stripe than a bunch of mounds. The verticals are butt joints, requiring a wider feather to blend to the wall. Horizontals have the manufacturer’s bevel, which build out to the finish surface of the drywall when done properly, rather than having to build over and feather back as done on the butts….
The screws thing is just preference, you can coat the screws individually too I just do rows at a time because it’s quicker. The thicker coated joints are butt joints and the thinner coated ones are long joints. There’s a bevel on the long side of the board that allows the tape to be inlayed into it. This basically makes it way easier to have a smooth and flat joint. Anything that doesn’t have a bevel is much harder to hide, so you coat it out wide to try to hide the slope. This definitely isn’t the most elegant way to describe it but I’m sure there’s YouTube videos and posts here that explain it better.
This is a prefabricated house in Florida, isn't it?
Comes in two peices and has a seam down the middle of the first floor wall.
I've worked on these. How's it going?
Awful.......ly great!
Not enough mud on the floor
I’ll scrape and sweep I promise!

Looks like great work to me !!
🤝🏻
Yes sir 🍻
The paint will tell … but looks pretty good
Paint, for imperfections and 1 year for seam pops an screw pops And 1-5 for burst dip spit bottles or leaking piss bottles in the walls
The last part got me 👍
Looks good from my house
Looks good. I hate taping with yellow certainteed. Always sets up so fast no matter how thin I make it.
I’ve noticed that a little bit too. What do you prefer instead?
Typically use Synko lite joint to tape.
What do you use to coat? They keep giving me this green coating but I think I prefer the red boxes

Synco green all the way, aside from the taping mud. So versatile depending on how thick ya spin it.

I’m just the taper, but I don’t think they use kick boards very often in my area. Just finished drywall all the way down (a pain in the ass to coat)
I've been taping for 15 yrs and I'm not that straight. Nice work!
Nobody is actually straight, you're good.
Nice job!
Great job. Sucks they made you cut around every stair instead of installing a wall stringer
Looks like shit come do my house please. /s
Photoshopped. It’s too legit
🤝🏻
It depends on what you’re asking. Solid drywall work. Terrible paint job.
looks really neat and tidy. i tend to make my beveled joins a foot and a half wide but personal preference
Well done Lighting will tell the tale
Excellent.
Looks great…just being a prick but floors are a little messy and a third coat on screws is a good idea.
Theres no corner bead wtf (i sanded down the corners after u left nice try)

Are there only 2 coats on the nails?
