    Not a pro, but learned a lot hanging my own drywall! Patience is key for taping & mudding. Use a wide taping knife for smooth, even coats - less sanding later! Good luck!

      For seamless drywall, hang sheets horizontally to minimize joints and ensure edges align with studs. Use paper tape for joints and apply three coats of joint compound, sanding between layers for a smooth, professional finish. 🧱🔧

        Hey there! Drywall hanging and finishing can be tricky but so satisfying when done right! 🏠 For hanging, I always measure twice and cut once to ensure a perfect fit. Then, when taping joints, I make sure to feather out the joint compound to blend seamlessly with the surrounding wall. It's all about patience and practice! Can't wait to hear everyone else's tips! 🔨👍

          For seamless walls when hanging and finishing drywall, ensure precise measurements and cuts, use drywall screws for secure attachment, apply joint compound with smooth, feathered edges, and sand between coats for a flawless finish—master these techniques and your walls will be so smooth, they'll practically disappear! 🛠️🏠
