So remember, I showed you guys to take off the batten strips and then hammer down the nails and staples that are standing up around your hammer down. Then you take your drywall mud and you put it on. You can do it that way, or you can do it this way.

You want to make sure you get enough mud to cover. And then that if you down, the tape will blister up when you put mud on top of it later. Which you'll do a second coat. Lay it right on top of where that crack is.

I know I'm making it look easy, but I've done it for a long time and I just can't help it. Perhaps we'll show you guys how to do the drywall finishing it. It's not something you can learn overnight if it is. Then I've been pretty stupid because it took me a long time to get any kind of good. So anyway, you pull that down. Tight as you can. There's your first coat and then we'll finish it out, which I'll do is I'll put mud on like so if you just have a six-inch knife, you can do it with a six-inch. But I prefer to burst out with a ten and then a twelve. Then you spread it out.

But. Got to do one side. So that the knife will be able to cover when you go over it, like so. Do the other side know a lot of guys won't do but one side at a time? I understand.

But I can do both sides so and I don't I'm very much sanding. I don't do any sand as a rule. And normally, I put it on with a one size knife, and then I use a bigger knife, like if I put on with the six, I would pull it off with an eight-inch knife.

But you don't have to do both sides, you can do one side of everything, come back a bit after drys and do the other side, but there they'll be pretty flat. And then you just do that everywhere. Now I imagine that other people will have to work at it longer and don't feel bad.

That's part of it. But we'll get it. We're getting away with that great big hump. We're making it look more like a house. So we'll finish it and then we'll texture it, and I'll show you when I texture.
