Getting Drywall Into a House In The Winter

What happens here

Following hanging, the drywall seams are taped and mudded. Workers apply joint compound over the seams and embed fiberglass or paper tape to reinforce the joints. This process requires multiple coats of mud, with drying time between applications. Specialized tools like automatic tapers and mud applicators are used to speed up the process and achieve a smooth finish, particularly on the large, angled surfaces of the A-frame. Heaters are used to accelerate the drying of the joint compound in the cold environment.

Goal: Create smooth, seamless drywall surfaces by taping and mudding all joints and screw holes.
