All the rough drywall pieces are up. I started putting the drywall mud on last night. That process is going to go through the weekend. I have no fewer than 14 different corner edges to bead in, mud, sand, and slick smooth. This does not count the inside edges as well and where the drywall meets the ceiling.
But...progress is progress............
The cool thing is my dad taught me a really cool drywall trick years ago. Instead of sanding the mud all the time and making a HUGE mess, he showed me how to wet sponge it smooth. Believe it or not once you knock down the excessive high spots, ridges, etc. you can dip a course sponge in water, wring it out, then gently slide it up and down on the surface until it melts the drywall compound smooth and re-flows it into the low spots. You have to be very careful not to get the paper part of the drywall too wet.
