Use 7/16 pan head screws to assemble the studs or purchase a crimp tool which is a real time saver. Use 1 1/4 inch fine thread for 1/2 sheet rock..............
I am in the end stages of a new home construction and seem to have a disagreement with my builder about wet drywall repair. The builder had finished the drywall in master bedroom but left parts of house open to the elements. Consequently the finished drywall got soaked- twice. 1 inch of ice formed on top of ceiling drywall and melted , completely saturating the ceiling. It is now bowed and dripping on my floors. I told him I want it completely replaced where it was saturated. He says it will be fine if he just adds a second layer of drywall. I've heard horror stories of black mold and screws popping out.
What is the acceptable method of repair ?
Thanx, Bill
Can you use joint compound to texture a wall,to give it a stucco look. It is a newly installed wall board, but it has alot of flaws. Or should I use something else.
