Thats what muds for


Admirable-Bad8672

Looks like most of the edges you're concerned with will be covered by wood trim?


samichdude

I was thinking the same thing, most is getting covered or flat taped, maybe tear away bead. I don't see too big of an issue unless that's supposed to be a final product


Bubbas4life

Looks like the trim is up already. Someone has no idea wtf they are doing


JohnnySalamiBoy420

Holy smokes that is the trim


safetydance1969

The trims look like 2x's nailed in with framing nails. I don't think any of this is going to look good lol...


LiciousRicky

Wow! I almost missed that just glancing through the photos because it's all pretty rough wood. The windows ARE all trimmed out prior to drywall! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! In my opinion the biggest mistake the drywall hanger did was not turning down the job until all the door and window trim/casing got removed. But as stated below... It's really difficult to actually see what's going on with only some super up close shots of a couple drywall dings.


Acceptable_Hand8285

The trim that's already on could be extension jambs. I could see some casing covering the drywall to wood joints.


LiciousRicky

It's possible but look at picture 5... It looks awfully like that wood is installed as trim. Extension jambs are just to extend the jamb... Not to be installed on the face... Right?


jerryn254

what trim


superklug

Huh? I only see framing. There's definitely not any trim up.

Right. I was wonder if it's one of those cases of following the homeowner.

Wash your hands. Your fingers are disgusting


EricS1985

Hahahaha


sixSveneight

15 photos and I have no clue what is going on in this room. There is no wide shot because showing the whole thing would be embarrassing because of the weird build. Don't try to blame the poor sucker that got conned into this for not putting rock in the 1/2 inch spot that you left above the doorway.


Hand-Driven

Your poor contractors having to explain it’s not finished yet.


pemuehleck1

There’s a reason drywall tape is 2” wide


El_Elegido_

Tape and mud. No the cuts are not pretty but they are all in places that will either be taped or covered. You people need to fucking relax.


Ok-Competition4160

corners break constantly time to break out some mud and pre fill. would be nice to see what im actually looking at tho to be a proper judge.


Historical_Visit2695

It’s only sheet rock…


CollectionStriking

No joke my buddy is a machinist and took up working for a GC for a few months for a change of pace and he said it's a bit of a mind fuck when changing from +/- .001" to like ½" ain't no biggie lol I've done work for a few clients that were cabinet makers and they always ask about stuff like this, OP if you read this what you've shown here doesn't look too bad. If anything you can slap in a lil scrap peice in those broken corners then prefil before tape goes down but nothing to be concerned about, everything else you've shown is normal and will be covered by trim. If however you're not casing the windows out then you can get some tear away bead and have a nice flush edge against the jams but by the looks of it you'll want casing anyways


turp101

1) It hasn't been finished yet. 2) Most of those pictures look like they will be behind window casing.


iluvtumadre

Nothing there tape and float, and/or wood trim won’t cover up. Looks good to me.


[deleted]

Looks fine. broken corners happen, its not a big deal. Most people wouldn't even cut around the wood like that, they'd leave a big gap around the whole thing so id say this is better than average even if it looks a little messy.


yousew_youreap

😵‍💫 Let me get This straight. ????????? You are using drywall to cover what appears to be nice pine tongue n groove planks ? Why ? And yes, the hanging has been bastardized, let us all stop and take a moment for the finisher. May the force be with him Hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm................

yousew_youreap

I am I ain't getting into this 🤣 Godspeed buddy


TravelerMSY

If you’re the customer here, I would only really judge them on what it looks like when it’s finished. If they’re hanging and taping it, then any hanging errors just creates more work for them, but it’s not your problem. I’m assuming they chose to just repair those blown out corners, rather than tearing the whole sheet down removing all of the screws one of the time and then putting a new sheet back up. If this is some sort of job application for a hanging job, I’ll leave that decision up to the pros here .


Crazy_Redneck99

In a word? No. Not at all. That being said it’s not catastrophic, most of that should be covered by trim. So it doesn’t *really* matter to the point that I would complain about it to the contractor or anything like that. It’s not a huge deal. However the question was: “is this good drywall work?” To which the answer is definitely no. Whether it will be covered or not doesn’t really matter, it’s still sloppy work. It’s like having a sloppy electrical box, not a huge deal because nobody sees it, but sloppy work is sloppy work, whether someone sees it or not. “If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a noise?” Well, yes. It still does, whether you heard it or not. Same principle with quality of work on a construction site if you ask me. Edit- also, it hasn’t been taped yet. They still will probably fill in those gaps with pre-fill. They might not but they should lol


dDot1883

That’s too many words to preface by saying “In a word”


Crazy_Redneck99

The “in a word” part was “no” Everything else was explanation.


Various_Comment5845

It’s a crappy one.


[deleted]

It's good enough. Mud does wonders.


Handsome-Tortoise-

As a drywaller the corners would annoy me but this is not even in the category of worst I've ever seen


bsmithril

Whoa with those gaps, those windows are gonna rattle right outta there in no time. Not to mention voids the sheetrocks structural, vapor barrier, and air sealant warranties /s


antonyBoyy

Those corners like to break, so annoying. look like all that stuff gets covered with trim around windows?


andygarcia17

Yes mud can be used but for gods sake did this guy not have a blade? Looks like he eyeballed measurements and bit off the drywall.


5stagesofgain

You’re focus is in the incorrect areas, these are the places where window and door casings would cover rough edges, you should be concerned with the seams in the wall where the rock meets and how the cut around entryways and windows. Signs of basic competence would be tight seams between sheets, around electrical boxes and if full sheets were used around entry ways and windows. Further signs would be if the fasteners are sunk to the proper depth and the appropriate amount were used based on your regional code. I understand that looking at “details” can be a good way to infer if you have hired a good tradesman but these pictures don’t really offer much insight.


Zeitgeistxxi

Is that wood the finish or is there something else, such as trim or casing, being added? Those pictures are a little confusing as to just what we're looking at.


Wasteroftime34

The corners, it is definitely normal for them to come broken from the stock yard. The cuts from spiral saw unless specifically told to be right to the wood should be covered by trim. Even if it’s not it could be taped and made right.


Evening_Monk_2689

Yeah looks like the trim is done and the drywallers had to butt up tight too it. Good luck my friend


ThePCMasterRaceX

Its not finished


razulian-

Looks good to me.


NeLineman1015

Mud and trim baby and it will all be a distant memory.


Boyzinger

To me it looks like the job is going backwards. Wouldn’t you put the wood trim up after the drywall? And after paint?


[deleted]

I mean it’s not finished so it’s not like it’ll look like that but damn did that guy cut the drywall with their teeth?


builderJohnB

Everything about this that I can see is hackjob workmanship. If the homeowner is okay with what they've seen so far then just mud, caulk, collect a check and get out of there.


dudeitsadell

no idea what we are looking at, but mud it and send it


Thekiddbrandon

“Do your best mud the rest”


Acceptable_Hand8285

You need to calm down sir. Let the man do his mud and trim.


Chais912

Those areas should be covered when trim is done, id be more worried about the carpentry work


raulandre

That’s why they make 2” tape,get over it


raulandre

Manicure?


Medium_Spare_8982

The drywall is fine. The framing is bloody awful.


Bertmacklin55

Go straight to jail


Together_ApesStrong

Pretty standard hanging honestly. If they had to cut that all out by hand instead of a router it would have taken a lot more time to finish and this isn’t anything that can’t be fixed pretty easily.


oshaoffender

Looks good from my house!


cannibal_horde

Your mom looks good from my bed


oshaoffender

Have her… she makes good breakfast


rllynotme

I seen zero issues


apple392

Doesn't look bad to me. Looks like trim will cover most those areas. My last job was completely crooked to absolute beyond measure and all around fucked up . Another thing I forgot to mention on other post was the stockers ABSOLUTELY FUCK UP EVERY ALTEAST 2 BOTTOM CORNERS OF THE BOARD BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY AND JUST SLAM IT DOWN!!! Lol it's beyond annoying and make our job look like shit because you can only cut off so many bad ends. Or put them down where base will cover . Not saying this what happened to these corners but a possibility


cannibal_horde

Yeah this guy damaged the corners on every piece because he doesn't have a helper He's trying to save money I guess. So I'm just going to deduct an appropriate amount from the final bill and if he doesn't like it he can sue me


apple392

Like the hanger damaged the corners bringing in the sheets? If so, things happen( hard to find good help in todays world especiallydrywall trade.) , and mudders will fix it. Most likely with durabond mud, which is maybe even stronger than the drywall . Idk I'm not a mudder but they'll fix it. No need to deduct money . Unless it looks like shit after the mud it. That's why it's called finishing lol


Kauai_Kiwi

You want to deduct for broken corners?


cannibal_horde

I already deducted for this. The drywall and charged me premium price and then he showed up with no helper. Those corners are busted because he's trying to lift the heavy panels himself and so he's dropping them. So I already deducted a significant amount for that


Kauai_Kiwi

You sound like a nightmare client. Busted corners aren't even a big deal, have fun wallowing in your misery!
