some one did a bad job on our dining room walls, uneven dry wall and some gouges. we don't want to have to redo by ripping out the existing drywall and starting all over.

    If it's simply a texture problem Judy I would just remud the wall. It's much easier to do than you may think. Think of it like frosting a cake, if you can frost a cake you can mud wall. The areas that are gouged will just require more mud and will take a little bit longer to dry. you can find everything you need in one section at the hardware store. I recommend getting more than one trowel, because just like you have your favorite knife or spatula for frosting a cake, you will find it is the same with trowels. Good luck and have fun with it!
