re: Home Depot kitchen renovations

I've done drywall work 5 or 6 times in the past and each time it looked better than the last time. The most recent was renovating my home office after some hurricane damage and I finally bought a vacuum sander for that one. I skim coated every surface then sanded with the sander. Let me tell you, that was money very well spent. So much less dust and very professional sanding. I also bought a texture hopper for $50 from Amazon and the texture is very professional looking. My office looks like I paid a professional to drywall it now.

Bottom line: if you have the right tools, it's a lot easier.
