Hit my 100th drywall patch repair last weekend and it got me thinking
I've been fixing up my old house in Buffalo for about 18 months now. Last Saturday I counted the drywall patches I've done and it came to exactly 100. That's from water damage, old cable holes, and just bad work from before I moved in. I started off making huge messes with mud everywhere, but now I can do a small patch in under 15 minutes with no sanding needed. It surprised me because I never thought I'd get that good at something so tedious. Has anyone else hit a repair milestone that made them realize how far they've come?

Three coats of mud and a sponge makes sanding nearly non existent.

That's actually really impressive, 100 patches is no joke. I've been there with the old house repairs and it's wild how something that used to make you cringe becomes second nature after a while. Your method of no sanding needed sounds like a game changer too, I bet you've saved yourself a ton of cleanup time compared to when you started. It's one of those skills that feels pointless until you realize how much money and frustration you've dodged. Props for sticking with it through all the rough patches, pun intended.
