The correct way is to start with him driving up to the house, talking about how he got a new truck, show him unload all his tools, talk about the new saw he got, show him walk in, talk about the house, then get to the un-even wall joint and talk about how other people do it and several wrong ways to do, simulate those before doing it in a way that works.

Me too. I'm certainly not as fast. And don't try to use anything like stilts and don't have a top notch vacuum sander. But I'm now nearly finished with my roughly 1000 sq. ft. garage. Just finished a window return using tear off strips and it came out perfect. I think the key points that helped were: Screws not nails (and I got a Makita drywall screw gun - well worth it), Pre-fill joints with quick set compound. Use shellac based primer on any torn paper. For universal compound in the big bucket, add a little water and stir. For taping, add more water to the compound to make sure it is thin enough so the tape will get wet enough. Feather edges - avoid sanding. Tools I purchased were the Makita drill, a cheap $30 vacuum sanding attachment with sanding screens that you connect to a shop vac, drywall sanding sponge, several drywall knives of various widths, a stainless drywall pan with friction grip, a hawk, and a drywall T square. Very low capital expenditure and more than adequate for a homeowner a small more or less one time job.

I have heard that remodeling a house, whether you do work yourself or have it contracted, is an extreme test of the strength of a marriage. Locally, a McDonalds restaurant went through a remodel that, for some reason, seemed to take take well over a year. I asked young people working if they liked that. Of course, they didn't. I suggested that someday when they are married and considering remodeling a house, that this is a good lesson. Furthermore, I did a tiny, tiny piece of work in her laundry room where I cut through drywall to install a wall cabinet to protrude into a void that had the water heater. So the cabinet was flush mount. I had closed the laundry room door thinking that would take care of the drywall dust. Wrong. A very light film of white dust got on most everything through much of the house. The lady was NOT happy. And that was just a tiny job.

The biggest problem with doing a house remodel is making sure it’s still livable while doing it. The only thing she (and I) have had to sacrifice is the dishwasher as it’s being relocated once the new cabinets are in.
