I Transformed The Worst Garage In The Neighborhood

What happens here

After the drywall mud has completely dried, use a pole sander with fine-grit sandpaper to smooth all patched areas and seams. Work carefully to avoid creating depressions or grooves in the drywall. This step generates a significant amount of dust, so it's crucial to wear a respirator or dust mask. Once sanding is complete, use a shop vacuum to thoroughly clean the entire garage, removing all drywall dust from surfaces and the floor.

Goal: Achieve a smooth drywall surface and completely remove dust.
