[QUOTE="LBrandt, post: 187841, member: 2979"] When I was still in the drywall finishing business I never gave a sq ft price if the owner did his own hanging. I always looked at it first. Joints staggered the right way, if right screws were used, excess but joints, like stopping on both sides of doorway and then fitting a small piece above door. Gaps around electric boxes, gaps between sheets, gaps between wall and ceiling. there is a lot of variables and no you dont just fill a half inch gap with mud and expect it not to crack later. Worst drywall hanger I ever worked for was a surgeon. I think he took his frustration out on sheetrock and I told him so. Had a farmer call me once to come and tape, texture and paint his sons new house. When I got there, there was a wheelbarrow in the garage with sheet rock scrapes in it. 1400 sq ft house and that was all the scrap they had. Walked through the house and told them good luck finding someone and that I did taping and texturing and not plastering [/QUOTE]
