I was working a construction job and one of the sheetrockers was using the stilts it was pretty weird/cool to see. His nickname was 'bones'. My boss asked me why they called him bones I told him I think it is because he is so skinny.

She is a celebrity. That's all I can say without you grabbing the soap and shoving it into my face. Even if I were being nice, you'd still need the soap if I went into any details as to what she does as a celebrity.
I'm quite worried. You're putting the mud ON, not pulling it off.
I don't need stilts to smoke 3 bowls. However, having 2 pounds of celery and a pound of peanut butter handy might help later.
Skip the 3 bowls if you want the mud to go ON.

My advise is to sand down the texture prior to mudding as the mud doesn't like hard edges and it'll stick better. I use a 10" flat taping spreader when applying, use thin coats and use the wall as your guide. Thin coats dry quicker and are easier to manage.
I'd also advise to not watch videos on "how to" as it'll just discourage you (it does me) as you aren't a pro and it'll make you feel dumb. Best way is to jump right in and just try it. All else fails, hire someone to fix it if you mess it up royally.

I am glad you chimed in and said to avoid the you tube vids I honestly went off your advise / tips only and I am quite proud to have completed this job all by myself
Sanded the walls then Did 1st coat , let it dry then sanded it , did a second coat let it dry then sanded again, finally step was sealing the walls with Killz ( I LOVE KILLZ

Nice Mom I'm going to check out yer' Instagram page. That kind of work gets old fast probably why a lot of people who do it alter their consciousness. I've been doing hardwood floor work and it kicks my butt, I should of taken up a career as a mob guy.
