"How are you doing? My name is Noah Richardson from Elliot Construction. I usually use the green bucket of compound because in the cold weather it dries faster. Some people like to use it better because it’s softer than the regular blue bucket. Like I said, when you finish screwing it off then it’s time to tape it all. You have to make sure everything is done. Like I said, the electrical and the plumbing because you don’t want to be ripping back all that stuff down again. It’s easier when you got just the screws in there, but when you go the compound it’s going the a little hard. This is how I do it. I take my knife at the bottom. Like I said two screws is enough from the bottom up. Four screws I mean. That covers that hole right there. Bottom up again. That gives rid of that hole, and you just keep going along with the same thing until you cover all the main holes. "
