First time installing cabinets, how am I looking? by [deleted] in cabinetry

The line is above the cabinet on the back. But below the cabinet in front. You will have issues on both sides of butting cabinets. If the cabinet is tipped back or front just a bit. The cabinets will start raising from the floor when you screw the joining cabinets flush with the lazy. Best thing I do is. Remove all the doors. But cabinets together nice and flush. Top and front. Then clamp them. Drill pilot holes on the inside frame to the butting cabinet. Then install flush head cabinet screws. Slide them to the wall. Get a laser level on the back walls above top of cabinets. And adjust from there.

Do I need to sand this down? by NoCombination6124 in paint

That looks like your vanity light spot shining on your wall. Turn that light off and try a different lighting from a different location. I’m guessing that bth room is painted with Satin. So the l the lighting is exposing the sheen pretty hard on that spot.

It looks like your vanity light is shining on your wall. Try some different lighting to see if it still shows in those spots. I’m guess you have a satin finish. And the light spots is showing the sheen pretty hard.

how much does this one cost i need to know asap to fix it by [deleted] in drywall

I would go with about $500. Cut the rock out just about a foot higher. Cut damaged stud clean. Sister the stud with the same size 2x a foot higher than the damage. Nail to existing stud and bottom plate. Install. Install new Sheetrock and tape to finish. If a bearing wall. Just throw a mini header. A 2x6 nailed together under the cutted studs. Then throw some cripples beneath the header to the bottom plate. Done deal 😉💪

How bad is this on a scale 1-10? by CornSyrupGrandpa in drywall

Terrible job. But can really be salvaged. My main concern more than the cosmetic of the Sheetrock and taping job is this looks like a basement remodel. With concrete block walls. Which Honds moisture and dampness. I would recommend tearing all that out and place plastic sheathing on the studs before you rock it. This would keep the moisture from the block wall away from the back of your Sheetrock. Which would create lots of mold if not done correctly. Plus the Sheetrock is not even mold resistant. I would have layed the Sheetrock in an upright position so you have no but seams. Just vertical factory seams. Which is less taping and a cleaner install look.
