This site on how to drywall is for the beginner.
The methods involve more steps than what a professional would probably use
and the higher-moisture compound I suggest is not what pro's would
recommend but here's the good news: The
methods on this site are easy to master, involve NO SANDING (except
minimal sanding at the end), and the results are professional in quality!This site is for the beginner that wishes to redo a room, make a repair,
or finish an addition and doesn't have the money on hand to pay a pro.
The instructions given on this site assume you know nothing about
finishing drywall. There are plenty of pictures and the steps are broken
down to include all the subtle (but essential) details. I would, however,
recommend that if you need to drywall an entire home or finish high
ceilings, you should employ a professional. Your best bet to find a good local
professional drywall contractor is to seek referrals from friends.

I think my biggest error when I initially tried to tape
drywall was thinking that taping and finishing drywall is something you do
on a single day off or weekend. I tried to do the job all at once.
In reality, taping drywall (and finishing drywall) is something you do in
somewhat shorter steps, spanning 3 or 4 days or more. Your first
step in doing this right is obtaining the patience needed. Get
patience and learn a few basics and you may surprise yourself with the
quality of your work. My techniques involve more steps than what many
people will recommend - my methods, however, produce nice results for the
beginner.
As with any new skill, you should practice a little.
Do a small job in a closet, garage, basement, or other out of view spot
before tearing into your living room.
Happy drywalling!
