I love your disclaimer. I'm licensed in carpentry, painting, and drywall. I have people ask me all the time. "Do you do tile?" My reply is "Yes at my own home. I can tile but not like a pro." There is a lot to be said about a knowledgeable professional. They make it look easy

I like it when DIYers mess up in a video. It shows that everyone makes mistakes, helps viewers prevent that mistake (we’ll be making plenty more of our own), and if we DO make that mistake, it helps us learn how to repair it. But most importantly, reminds us that even the best of us makes mistakes...and a mistake is nothing more than a hands-on learning experience and future conversation material. 🙂

Nice job. The only thing I'd have done differently would be to use fiberglass mesh on the butt joints since , while it's a bit thicker than paper, it doesn't need to be coated on both sides, so it sits in one layer of joint filler instead of between two layers, so the whole thing is a bit flatter and needs less feathering-out and sanding.

I always use a hammer to smash out a fist size hole. I then feel around the hole so there’s no wires I’ll cut with my saw. Then enlarge the hole so that you can again have a look as you suggest. ‘Ideally’ do the former with lights and sockets power off, though not always possible. Thank you for the video.
