Spackling sucks!

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. ;)
