Remodeler Does the Instagram vs. Reality Test on Drywall Tape and It’s Hilarious
Whether you're a seasoned home improvement aficionado or a brave newbie just dipping your toes into the wide ocean of DIY—this one's for you!
A little-known fact about DIY and remodeling is that it can sometimes be as entertaining as informative. This became hilariously evident when a noble remodeler took to Instagram, put on his game face, and decided to show us the raw, less glamorous side of home improvement—by doing a reality check on drywall tape.
I know what you're thinking, "Drywall tape? Surely you can't be serious!". Yes, dear reader, it's as true as it gets. Drywall tape! And honestly, it’s as entertaining as anything else you might have planned for today.
Trust me on this. If you've ever attempted to handle a roll of sticky drywall tape yourself, you'll adore this expose!
Here's what unfolded: our audacious remodeler presented two scenarios. In the first—the Instagram-equal, flawless vision—he effortlessly rolls out a perfect line of drywall tape across a seam. Not a single crease, a sight sure to make any DIY enthusiast swoon!
Then comes reality. Oh, boy!

In the contrasting reality scenario, our DIYer shows the typical scene many of us can relate to: the tape bunched up, stuck to everything (including itself), and far from cooperating with the seamless vision and easy drywall repair.
What we all imagined would be a walk in the park with this deceptively innocuous-looking drywall tape resulted in a tangle of humor and frustration.
Even a roll of innocuous-looking drywall tape can surprise you. Frustrations, bunched up tape, and occasional mishaps are part of the process. Keep calm and carry on. Even if the process isn’t picture-perfect, the satisfying results definitely make up for it.
It serves as a funny yet grounding reminder of the reality of home improvement. The Instagram-worthy pictures are exceptional, but they're rarely the daily reality.
The remodeler's honest and hilarious portrayal of the Instagram Vs. Reality test on drywall tape brings us back to ground realities—showing the glossy, picture-perfect world and the behind-the-scenes struggles that make the end results all the more rewarding.
