Wood Furring Grid

I installed a wood furring grid to the ceiling for installing 2x2 tin ceilings. Ceiling measures 8 ft 2 inches. With the over lap of the tin tiles will have 3 inch space left to the ceiling. Something wrong. One side of ceiling has 1/2 (Half inch) other has 1/ 1/2 (One and Half inch) space. Can I measure and cut furring strips to install between grid to get the 1 1/2 inch space on each side of the ceiling. Any other ideas? Thanks

I don't see why not. You should be able to add whatever you need.

want to hang a new wall mounted coat rack in the hallway

M

Melwyn on Oct 08, 2011

Hi Want to know how I should fix my new wall mounted coat rack in the hallway. I had only two holes one on either side on the top for hanging this coat rack on the wall. I am a bit worried whether the wall would support this coat rack since it's built of ash wood. Most likely the wall is a plaster board wall. Should I get a professional to fix this coat rack. The coat rack I bought is the following [url=http://tszuji.co.uk/coat-racks-wall-mounted-dark/]Coat Racks| Wall Mounted Coat Rack| Coat Rack | Coat Rack with Storage Shelf[/url] Any advice would be much appreciate.

Sheetrock-Gypsum-Blue Board - very confused

P

pells22 on Sep 25, 2007

Okay I am getting more confused by the minute. I am redoing my finished basement (after water damage, I gutted it, bleached it, and had an internal perimeter drain installed with a sub pump). I had a bunch of help this past weekend and put up all the new wallboard, but now I am not sure if I am in trouble or not. I went to homedepot and the mold/water resistant sheetrock (I know it is not 100% mold/water proof, but I figured a little extra protection with everything else I have done is worth it), but they did not carry this anymore instead they had Gypsum Board XP Gold Bond mold/water resistant, but they called it blue board (it is actually purple). I did not know (nor did the kid helping me) that blue board required veneer plaster. But here is where it gets even more confusing for me. After looking at the USG website, it looks like this material is not really blue board and can be finished like normal wallboard? So does anyone know what this really is (maybe the new greenboard?). I guess bottom line I want to finish is like normal wall board (tape/mud/sand/paint), but not sure if I can. This is for a finished basement like I mentioned above, so looks are only slightly important, cost is huge right now (interior perimeter drains drain the bank account). Thanks so much for any help.Read More
