Spackling sucks!

Well walls should not by gypsum board anyway! There is just one option that is the best:
This finished with white stucco. It will hold for 300 years without a single crack, and no hazardous solvents coming out like from chipboard, concrete or some insulation systems.

Surely it has nothing to do with our lack of experience and slight haste.... ;D

Nobody told me I could build my house out of Legos! ;D
That actually looks kind of cool. I doubt its in the US, but I'd like to read up on it. You stucco interior walls?

When I did my basement, I learned a neat new trick to help with patching inconsistencies - Use a 1" heavy nap roller to apply your basecoat primer. Sanded patch areas always show up as a bit smoother in the paint. The heavy nap will hide/blend all of the transitions.
