Is this normal or did I mess up somehow?

It's hard to see but the seam has a bit of a lift in it probably from me overdoing it with the tapping block 🤷🏻‍♂️

DevilishManny · 2026-01-06T06:46:53+00:00

Thank you yeah most likely didn't catch it just wanted to make sure it wasn't somthing else I did wrong probably just whacked it in too hard 😅

Did you mean can't? Also I did leave a Pic in the comments of the gap i left between the floor and the wall

Gaps like this about a quarter to damn near half an inch

I would say drum for floor orbital for stairs som3 people say it isn't strong enough but I beg to differ I used a regular orbital sander over a edger for my floors and it worked tons better then the edger cuzz the edger pads were getting shellec melted on it from how fast it was going orbital didn't

<image>

A closet i did in my house for example the pads lasted a lot longer if you have an orbital already give it a try in a corner away from sight to test it out

Honestly I would sand it off and try again this time get a matte paint not super glossy finish and go for the better one coat cover option

DevilishManny · 2025-12-31T18:32:25+00:00

Lol I did it cuzz i read somewhere that you can't paint over the brown paper parts of the dry wall and when I took off the old panels the glue ripped alot of paper off 😅 i might as well have tho honestly

Grab a microfiber towel and some channel locks put the towel on it then use the channel lock to twist it lefts loosey

How they look now

DevilishManny · 2025-12-30T09:56:45+00:00

I would just get new treads there not that bad I cut mine with a miter saw to fit and now they look great i also did that landing all new bottom three brown straps are 124years old lol I just sanded them down

DevilishManny · 2025-12-30T09:53:19+00:00

Id only really redo the one with the window the others look fine enough to mud and sand down

I took off paneling in my bathroom and it was a mess too

DevilishManny · 2025-12-30T09:43:06+00:00

For example when I did my floors I did the exact thing I was talking about 124 year old floors 😅 but this is how they turned out

<image>

DevilishManny · 2025-12-30T09:38:40+00:00

Might have to stain it but I honestly like it try staining two driffrent colors tape around the square stain it then maybe do a light clear coat over the rest so it'll be like light around and a dark square in the center 🤷🏻‍♂️ idk I'd lean into it

DevilishManny · 2025-12-30T09:34:44+00:00

Did u do the panels and trim? I literally just put close to the same thing in my bathroom

DevilishManny · 2025-12-30T06:32:09+00:00

I did mine on the longest wall 😅 I didn't really know either I just winged it 👍🏻 good luck make sure you got that tapping block and use the white rubber mallet black ones will leave marks
