I must be the messiest mudder there is.  I’m covered in the stuff!  I am making progress though.

I usually leave big “Mudding” jobs to the professionals and I may hire someone in for the last coat.  Right now I’m just doing the messy prep work:  taping, filling screw dimples, leveling the new drywall out with the old stuff that is CAKED with texture.  It’s a lot of work but I’m so happy I tore out that closet and opened up that doorway into the Formal Living room.

It feels 100% better already.  (Still not spilling the beans on what my plans are on that new coat closet…because I still haven’t made up my mind.)

Yep, 100% glad I tore out that BIG OLE’ coat closet!
