By far the most frustrating thing about plastering jobs is the drying times. This is especially true with inside corners - with a knife you pretty much can’t do both sides the same day because you’ll always end up messing up the opposite one.

I finally gave one of those corner tools a try, and the result is fucking mint. The customer is going to be so happy with these flawless corners tucked behind the curtains in their living room.

    I partly agree and partly don’t.

    Plumbing as a field is way broader than installing drywall, and there’s a ton to learn. No single plumbing task is really harder than hanging drywall (except maybe welding), but doing all the drywall in an entire building is a hell of a lot easier than doing all the plumbing for it.

      I’m only talking about DIY plumbing a single-family house, and I only said the supply side was easier. The drain side is more complicated to understand, with the slopes and venting and whatnot.
