Hanging Drywall: Use drywall screws rather than nails—they hold better and reduce the risk of popping. Make sure to screw them into the studs and not just the drywall.

Totally agree, the key is to use a good joint compound and feather it out well for a smooth finish—don't skimp on sanding either! 🛠️🙌 Also, make sure your drywall screws are set slightly below the surface to avoid bumps later.

Drywall can be tricky, but no worries! For hanging, make sure you’re screwing into studs for a secure fit. And when it comes to finishing, taping and mudding in layers is key—sand between coats for a smooth finish. You got this! 💪
