My arm hurts

Over the last few days I have attacked the basement with drywall mud.  I have gone through 1.5 - 60 lbs pails and 2 - 50lbs bags and I am about 75% done, not counting texturing.  The office, and hall have two coats and the rec room is about 90% done with the first coat.  I haven't even touched the bathroom yet.  On a side not, there are WAY too many corners in the basement!

By they way, it turns out that one should examine laminate flooring on clearance extra carefully.  I looked at the flooring we got a few months ago and discovered that instead of having 8 separate patterns of wood planks, this system only had two.  In a long hallway that would not even begin to look random, so we had to return those.  My theory is that this type of flooring had one pattern per box and since it was on clearance they were down to what was on hand which happened to be overwhelmingly of one type of pattern.  Or maybe the guy that loaded it was just a jackass and didn't notice he was grabbing all of the same pattern.
