4. Drywall is Harder Than it Looks
On a lot of websites, they claim that hanging drywall is easy to do on your own. But this DIY fail proves that apparently, it’s a lot harder than it looks. This was posted on Reddit with the caption, “How do I even piece together this puzzle?” It’s hard to tell if this person was trying to use up all of the scraps they had left over from other parts of the house, or if they were having a hard time covering something that was a strange shape. Obviously, this is not going to look good when you spackle and paint this. There is absolutely not fixing this situation, and it’s surprising that they committed to it for so long.

Even if it costs the extra few hundred dollars, it’s better just to hired a professional contractor to hang your drywall. They can get it done quickly and efficiently. In most cases, there needs to be at least two people working on it together. This is especially true if a piece needs to be lifted up to the ceiling. Drywall and sheet rock is a lot heavier than you would imagine. It’s dangerous for someone to do this on their own, even if they have a ton of experience.
