What happens here

The first step involves preparing the walls by sanding and scraping any existing drywall patches or imperfections. The video shows a person using a sanding block to smooth out areas that appear to have been previously patched with drywall compound, some of which still have blue/green residue or tape underneath. This is followed by scraping an edge, likely to remove excess compound or old tape residue around a door frame.

Goal: Smooth out existing drywall patches and prepare surfaces for sanding.
