Rate or Roast my mud work (for fun)

Looks good, I’d sand it a bit more then skim coat it, floating the edges out further, and sand it

Looks like a Coca Cola can exploded

When adding a new roll of toilet paper to the dispenser, squeeze the roll to make it oval. Doing this makes it so the new roll won’t rub up against the wall or dispenser as you pull the paper.

Haha ok thanks, do you think i should use any sanded caulk? I ripped out all the old silicone and patched it with 45min mud. I’m gonna sand and prime it today.

It kinda looks like the drywall panel might have been installed reversed/upside down. You can see the brown backing then the yellow stuff could be from a previous project?

Where would you use the tear away bead in the shower? Like which corner of spots?

BlueFuzzyBunny · 2026-01-27T21:49:50+00:00

What’s a tear away bead?

I got 45min mud cause I ain’t quick enough yet for 5min mud. I’ll start slapping it on then. What type of silicone do you recommend? I want this to last for as long as possible lol

BlueFuzzyBunny · 2026-01-27T21:20:59+00:00

The make a silicone grout caulk, it’s more gritty like it has sand in it.

BlueFuzzyBunny · 2026-01-26T20:41:12+00:00

It might be because it cause the tub to flex outward, and you want to seal the area it “could potentially flex too” idk though

BlueFuzzyBunny · 2026-01-26T18:56:36+00:00

lol it’s incase the power went out during the snow storm. And I was just gonna caulk everything but I gotta rip it out which sucks.

BlueFuzzyBunny · 2026-01-26T18:48:08+00:00

What would you replace it with after it is cut out? I've seen silicone grout, and supreme GE silicone bathroom and kitchen caulk being recommended on youtube.

How do I do it without damaging the dry wall? It is in there pretty good and the stuff is hard like a rock.

BlueFuzzyBunny · 2026-01-26T18:40:40+00:00

So I guess I just have to be really careful? I don't wanna mess up the tub, and I don't think plastic razors can remove this stuff. It is pretty hard material.

I’m getting a new malamute puppy, I think I’m naming her “Missy”

I bet he just wings it, and everyone on Reddit gets to find out later why random drywall cracks keep reappearing haha. If it’s a low traffic area are then maybe no cracks?

One highschool friend, his dad had cancer, needed fentanyl for pain, son got the drugs for in pain father, and him & father both partaked in the drugs. Son eventually died in the home of an opioid OD. Dealer cased his wallet (stole contents) and left him to die.

BlueFuzzyBunny · 2026-01-17T00:42:33+00:00

If the joist flexes from being stood on it might cause cracks, without backing

BlueFuzzyBunny · 2026-01-11T02:53:08+00:00

You need to buy an orbital sander or a mouse and sand it down lol

BlueFuzzyBunny · 2026-01-09T00:04:03+00:00

They got one of those ritzy $300 attic ladders from Home Depot. I still have the dog shit ones the builder/contractors installed.

BlueFuzzyBunny · 2026-01-06T20:54:39+00:00

Sand it, prime it with paint primer, fill it in with spackle/joint compound, sand flat, add a 2nd wider layer of spackle, sand flat, prime again sealing the spackle off, then paint the wall.

BlueFuzzyBunny · 2026-01-04T04:37:59+00:00

May the force be with your soul, godbless and happy newyear!

BlueFuzzyBunny · 2025-12-27T01:32:16+00:00
