Feb 6th, 2016: Classy Spackle

[xoxoxoBruce]

Drywall is heavy, dirty, nasty work, I hate doing it. But it's a lot faster and easier than plaster, plus it's pretty straight forward.
The artist is the taper, he's the guy that hides all the fasteners, smoothes the corners, and makes the surface ready for the finish
of your choice. The choices were pretty much paint, wallpaper, or a kid with a crayon, but now you can chose spackle.



However, if you choose spackle I would recommend letting Bernie Mitchell do it. Bernie's a drywall contractor with an extra skill,
sculpting 3-D murals with spackle. He also has an artist's eye and understanding of how lighting makes things pop. You might be able
to hire him because Sistine Chapels are few and far between. But if you can't, he has a bunch of tutorial videos to show how to do it.
You could have Han Solo on your wall.

I recommend seeing the videos at his site but if you don't want to click here's a sample.

Oh, and if you screw it up, just scrape it off and start over.
