Spackling and sanding drywall is fun! Ask anyone who’s done drywall repair and they’ll look at you and smile real wide.

OK — so the big smile may not mean they had fun spackling and sanding! What their smiling eyes are really trying to tell you is: “You really don’t know what you’re getting yourself into, do you? But go ahead and knock yourself out.”
