i dont mind doing dry wall. i dislike doing dry "ceiling".... my back can't take it.

in fact, mudding and taping / joint work and painting is enjoyable to me.

painting is the worst... But I don't mind mudding/sanding if a ladder is not required.

Probably. That was the day I did most of the work that made me sore today.

I actually don't mind painting. I find it cathartic. There is so much nuance in mudding a wall - the angle of the knife, how wet/dry the mud is, the kind of knife... Paint is just paint. Slap it on the wall and be done with it.
