Thnx to everyone who helped me out with my drywall project!

Everything went smooth I guess - This was my first so I don't have alot to compare to. I did read a quick little trick that GREATLY speeds up the process of finishing. I used a paint roller with a 3/8" pile on my 3rd coat (last). Mixed my all-purpose ready-compund with a little water to thin and simply rolled it on. Then used a 12" taping knife to smooth finish. I have pictures if anyone is interested :-)

Again...Thnx alot (Specifically awesomedell & coops28). Couldn't have done it without these forums :D

Next up...Plumbing. Heh...any tips? Gonna be replacing the existing galv pipe with CPVC. New shower and sink.

Glad it all went well for you Wes, now plumbing is in a different dept. You can find it on the drop down menu at the Forum Jump link at the bottom of the page. Good luck!

Interesting tip on the final coat of mud. May have to try that.
