Drywall DIY sounds very intimidating, but it doesn't have to be.
By simply following a few basic guidelines, it can be done properly.
It is a somewhat time consuming process, and it requires some physical effort, but it is not an impossible task.
Firstly, have all the required tools handy.
Having to come up with a missing item halfway into a job will waste your time, patience, and materials.
Having to use an unsuitable implement will just infringe on the quality of the finished product.
Next, be perfectly sure your measurements are accurate.
Any mistake, although it may seem small, just creates more work afterwards, and makes it more difficult to create the perfect finish.
Instead of doing a great drywall DIY job, you may be setting yourself up for a great drywall disaster.
The walls need to be properly prepared.
Look for any uneven spots that need to be leveled off.
Fill up any holes, using a scraper to level it as well as possible before leaving it to dry, after which you can sand off the last bit.
For the actual application, your drywall DIY kit comes with complete instructions on the whole process.
The details may vary from one product to the next.
Just follow these to the letter.
After all is done and dried, you will need to sand it off again before painting.
Doing drywall yourself does not need to be a nightmare, or a disaster.
It's simply a matter of being prepared, and working systematically.
