Okay, my first ever drywall and I know what I did wrong. I just didn’t think that small indifference would make it look obviously bad.

But here it is, I will do it different on the rest of the walls but I’m just gonna leave it for what it is: me acting like someone who can do drywalls and wanted to save money lol

Didn’t do the bottom part yet so I am def not done but holy moly…

How bad can someone mud? Me: Hm My wife: “Well atleast it’s done. Not good, but done and we saved money for vacation”

What makes it even more hilarious is that in my mind I was sure if I use paint that has sand in it it’s gonna cover that LOL. Fail…

    Yeah dunno our mirror is gonna be across that part anyways (I hope it will cover that up) but well you can see I sanded to much mud or didn’t put enough mud across the plasterboard so thats why there is a “dent”.

    To me I gotta say it doesn’t look fine but looks fine enough for saving that much money lol.

      Go look carefully at the rest of the drywall in your house. I bet you’ll find similar spots that the original professionals did.

      It could be shrinking, I usually mud it, let it dry and then mud again to prevent this.
