"I have a driveway that's approximately 1/10 mile long and a parking area approximately 40' X 80' covered with 3/8" gravel which is very difficult to plow, complicated by the fact that some spots have to be back dragged preparatory to the snow being moved out of the path of traffic. I used to do it myself with an ATV and a 4' blade and it would take me about 2 hours, usually at an inopportune time and in inhospitable weather. When I was done, it looked like the snowy equivalent of a putting green, but at my age, I'm very willing to sacrifice fine detail for having someone else do it while I sit inside doing paid work. Dustin is personable, bright, attentive to detail, highly skilled and has an understanding of finesse. So far, he has only plowed once for me and did a better job than my last three contractors. As far as I'm concerned, he has a job with us for the next twenty years and I'm thinking of hiring him for some drywall work. I set very high standards in my work and expect equivalent quality from people I hire. My expectations have been met and exceeded. A+++++"

Drywall questions, answered by experts

If your home was built before the 1940s and was not remodeled in the past 50 or so years, you probably have plaster walls. Aside from assuming, there are some practical ways to tell if you have plaster walls, including the following: If you knock on the wall and it feels solid, not hollow, if you can’t insert a thumbtack easily, if there are cracks that look like spiderwebs, or if your home has curved, arched, or swirled walls, doorways, or window openings.

If you have an unfinished basement or attic, you could examine the backs of any finished walls to check, too.

You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.

Yes, you can speed up the time it takes for plaster to dry, but it's important to do so carefully to avoid issues like cracking or crumbling. Proper ventilation is key; open a window or use a fan to circulate air in the room. Heat can also accelerate drying, but be cautious, as too much heat can cause the plaster to dry too quickly and crack. Check the plaster's packaging for the recommended drying temperature and set the room's thermostat accordingly. While managing humidity is important, avoid using a dehumidifier, which can remove moisture too aggressively and result in crumbly plaster.

You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.

If the holes in the plaster are small, you can fill them with layers of patching plaster until they’re filled. After it dries, you can sand the plaster and paint over it. If the hole is much larger, consider using bonding plaster first and then a layer of patching plaster, completing the process with sanding and a layer of paint.
