When I’m doing a smooth wall with a textured ceiling I like to run the final angle coat by hand. Makes sure everything is crisp, any texture overlap is taken care of and makes for little to no sanding 🙌 #drywall #howto #smooth | DrywallShorty - Lydia Crowder

A great way to get on stilts is to face a wall. Not to close that you can’t safely stilt up but close enough you can use it to catch your balance. I like to do it like this when my stilts are all the way up. #stilts #reels #constructionlife #trades | DrywallShorty - Lydia Crowder

Here's how we create that swirl effect! I get a lot of questions about this technique, but it's actually really easy. Just spray a thin layer of mud and use a pool trowel to swirl it around! That's it... the possibilities are endless! #reels #drywall #fyp #explore | DrywallShorty - Lydia Crowder

When taping we do lids first - start with butt joints then flats over the top. Get all the ceilings and upper butts done then do the lower walls. After all the butts and flats are on then we tape angles. Same order on every job - keeps us organized! #reels #stilts #jobsite | DrywallShorty - Lydia Crowder

How many coats on screws? All depends on the finish! 2x for texture and 3x for smooth wall. Sometimes they are a little proud and need a scrape before the next coat. #drywall #stilts #reels #trades | DrywallShorty - Lydia Crowder

Honestly no one cares on the job if your “new school” or “old school” - both get the job done so use what you like! Pulling butt’s with a 12” knife - takes a bit more finesse and control but same outcome as a skimming blade. #oldschool #drywall #finesse #fyp | DrywallShorty - Lydia Crowder
