I've gotten good at it over the years, but damn I really dont like it.

Agreed.

When we bought this house, it had pretty much become a biker crash pad sitting in the middle of a beautiful old neighbourhood. Made for a nice purchase price (and I could have been an axe murderer and would have still been welcomed by the neighbours), but had been deemed unsuitable for living and, hence, ineligible for a mortgage.

It took me 6 weeks to repair the walls and over 200 lbs (!!!) of mud to get them ready for paint.

Never again.

ChadTower:

Damn... what happens if you bump those walls with something pointy?  Does all that compound dent easily?

CheffoJeffo:
 :D

It wasn't all compound -- I did replace lots of drywall and ended up retaping almost every joint in the house.

Although you would have been amazed at the places that there were holes.

Hoopz:
Those holes were for hiding the biker's joints.   ;)

I had the same thought and checked ...  ;)
