Help. Super amateur, first time repairing a drywall seem and replacing a section. Do I need to just start over? Any way to salvage this?

Trying my best here as an amateur/first timer.

It looks bad. But wanted to see if after a day or so, can this be salvaged?

I cleaned up all the old dry wall, primed and now I tried to lay down some all purpose taping mud.

Forgot to add tape after mud because I was struggling with the mud.

How can I save this? (It’s okay if it can’t be)

Can I add tape after this dries?

Not handy - but trying this out. Do I need to remove the old joint compound?

Hey! First, I’m terrible at anything that requires me to break out tools. I try my best. Any help is super appreciated!

So, my question is do I need to remove all of the old joint compound before I install new fiba tape seems?

My plan is to repaint my entire garage.

Any other tips for replacing seems in drywall tape and painting?

Accutane back pain is getting out of control

I’m about a year in and crossing into 200 total dosage taken.

My back pain getting progressively worse and now it’s making things like getting out of bed difficult. Like I have to roll out of bed…

I would love your suggestions to help with back pain. I’ve tried the occasional ibuprofen 600, and I’m going to try lidocaine patches.

Really could use some advice here. Thank you!

GFI will not reset

Hey!

First time posting here.

I am not an electrician so if I use the wrong terminology my bad.

I believe I have GFIs that are daisy chained or hooked to one master GFI. If one trips they all trip or protect themselves.

The other day my wife noticed that some lights were off in our bathroom that shouldn’t have been - so she tried troubleshooting and reset a GFI. Then her hair dryer wouldn’t work.

After that the GFIs won’t reset. If I try to manually reset them the light turns on then immediately off.

Ive tried removing all load on any of the GFI outlets. Resetting the main breaker box. Checked for any blown fuses. Nothings worked. I can’t get them to reset.

Help! What can I try next? Do I have to install new outlets?
