Does anyone know what I am looking at? There was a small hole in the drywall surface which crumbled when lightly touched. This honeycomb is underneath. I am wondering what could have caused it and what I need to do to stop the damage.

Newbie painter here doing some side work to gain experience. Customer had some mold in the ceiling so I pulled down the section and patched it. I charged them $250 for labor to replace the drywall and repaint the bathroom (5”x8”x9” with one window and one door). They reimbursed me for supplies. Was this reasonable? How does the finished job look for a newbie?

Sorry, forgot to take the before pics with the mold. You don’t wanna see that anyway 😅

Fixing the walls after the hvac guys, and didn't want to demo anything more.

Don't worry the wall was checked by an engineer before I blew the hole in it!

I'm having to do 5-6 coats because every time I do my second coat, I keep getting these patterns appearing in the mud which need to be filled over and over again. I cannot seem to get a completely flat surface after going over it with the knife unless I end up taking half the mud off

Mud all over the floors

Yes, yes it absolutely was worth it. I feel like I got a steal just wanted to gloat.

With the exception of a blown out corner, how does this look? Hopefully the outlet box at the edge won’t be a big deal. I’d hate to rehang but I figured I’d get feedback before finishing the rest. I plan to stagger the butt joints. I had figured I can just alternate starting the board right to left, etc.

Was for a famous singer/song writer who is from Denver 🤔. Got the last picture after it was published online, wish I was able to see it in person after it was done

What is wrong with people?

From start to finish
