    You can do it without coping, but you have to be perfect. Many drywall corners are not perfect 90 deg. corners; this makes cutting two 45s not fit together correctly and might leave gaps. Coping allows you a bit of fudge error if the corner or your cuts are not perfect.

    do you have an angle grinder or a orbital sander? Lots of guys cope with a flap disk on an angle grinder because it’s way faster.

    it won't, but trying not to expose myself to people/stores if I can avoid it. I'm at work every day as I'm "essential" so I try to at least sort of quarantine when I leave.

    Next little project for me is a woodshed for some long time clients that I told them I would do when I had some time

    It's nice here , 17 acre , waterfront property thats heavily treed at the upper area with fir , cedar and madrone (arbutus) , you can see the ocean through the trees in pics

    Woodshed is 6'x16' , roughly 8' at front with 2 in 12 shed roof

    We did excavation on Tuesday



    I formed up and installed a vapour barrier and remesh yesterday




    and poured and finished slab today

    3 1/2 yards of 25mpa / 20mm




    I'm up here in the boonies so no power or water . I'm using all cordless tools and am charging on site :)

    2 houses back , we sided with Allura fibre cement sheets and battens for board and batten look plus their shingle panels in gables

    I ended up buying the Makita fibre cement circular saw with dust extraction for all our cutting
