1. Don't use plastic mud trays!-
"Oh yeah that won't happen to us....." RIGHT! sometime last week another houseblogs.net geek advised to not use plastic mud trays for drywall mud. Did we listen....Oh no! Why? because the cost of metal as 3X's that of plastic at the big box. While you can get it from www.amazon.com for less, we were in a pinch. BUY THIS over THIS! The plastic used in those trays is softer than....well I won't go into it...but it is way too soft for the use of metal tools.
Anyways.....you can tell what we are up to.
The first coat of mud is up in the new bedroom. All of the corners, seams, and edges are taped and mudded. What fun this is. Actually it isn't that bad. Sanding will be the part where I use $*#)($ symbols to express myself.
Sandy worked hard today on the ceiling seams. I was the corner and screw head guy for the most part. 
We are a little behind and we don't see how we are going to make any of it up. Oh well....so is life. Do it right, don't rush it, and enjoy it as you send the check to the mortgage company right?
