What happens here

Cut and install mold-resistant 1/2 inch drywall into the openings created for plumbing and electrical work. Secure the drywall with screws into the wall studs. Apply drywall tape over all seams and screws, then apply multiple coats of drywall compound (mud) over the tape and screw heads, feathering the edges for a smooth transition. Sand all patched areas with 120-grit sandpaper until smooth and flush with the existing wall, ensuring a seamless surface for the upcoming tile and paint.

Goal: Repair and smooth the walls after rough-in
