Lydia talks about common mistakes people make when working with drywall. She emphasizes the importance of hanging full sheets of drywall to avoid extra work and cracking. It is crucial to match factory and beveled edges when hanging drywall to ensure a proper fit. Additionally, using the right compound with the correct tape is essential for a strong finish. Feathering joints, sanding, and using quality tools are also highlighted as key steps in achieving a perfect finish.
