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....

A) that actually looks better than a lot of “pro” work I’ve run across.

B) if it’s that much of an issue for you I think a teensy bit of sanding and very light puttying and then paint and you can get those seams out.

Wholeheartedly agree. I’ve had emergency reconstruction done and some of those "pros" are just about being fast so they can do as many jobs as possible.
