Topping compound is your friend. My best ex wife was an artist with topping compound on uneven walls and ceilings. I still had LOTS of sanding to do, but she consistently got way closer to level than I ever could. Her finished standard was wall paper smooth so perfect wasn't quite good enough... Oh, yeah. I bought one of those seemingly bogus vacuum sanding attachments and it worked really good in the early stages. I still plugged up the shower drain with drywall dust...

I hate drywall dust. It was everywhere. I thought I bought topping compound, but I think I just needed to thin it out a bit. If we ever have the rest done we are definitely going to hire it out. I don't think my wife will argue with me one bit! It's tough, because I like the satisfaction of doing things myself, but I also understand there are things I am not an expert at.
