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....

My family finds my skills as an electrician quite shocking.

Here too. Every other outlet in my house was wired backwards, and about a quarter of my outlets had a ground running to the box, but cut short and not connected to anything. I had to splice in so many grounds (really not the best solution, but the alternative was putting in a whole new run)
