how hard is it to mud and tape sheetrock?
Answers:
You can do it, the secret is to use thin coats, and sand, sand, sand! Take your time, and go slow. Remember that you will have to sand any rough spots, so you want to make it as smooth as possible.
Wear old clothes and respiratory protection when sanding.

Just go to Home Depot and they'll show you what to use and how to apply it. It's very easy to do the first time.
I would suggest hiring a good handyman with drywall experience and help him so you can learn. I've hired out and taught several people.
It's not rocket science, but it does take some care to do it properly. There is some work involved in sanding the joint smooth after you float it. And the better job you do floating the joint, the less sanding there is.
take advantage of any classes Home Depot is willing to give.
HD has training sessions on it. it isn't very expensive to have done. use the thinist coat possible to min. sanding. dust gets in everything.
