What Did You Do In Ur Garage?

The writing on the drywall is to go on the backside, in these photos the sheets need to be flipped over. its a rougher paper on the backside and would be tough to tape or paint.

Exactly, the back side or brown side is not the finished surface. Seeing how your using a lifter, easy to undo and flip over

Free insulation and drywall is always good.
Oh, and I’m left handed which always explains backwards...lol

Anybody can be right handed, it's only the truly gifted that are out in left field.

Free building materials are usually good...used some free-bees in mine as well.

not only that but the sheets are beveled at the edges to allow for mudding.

I think it was mentioned but those sheets are completely backwards.
It won't tape or paint on that side very well.

The sheets have vinyl on the other side. They were from an office building.
The drywall will have to remain as installed.

Oh I see, its in a garage and it was free.
A good primer then a texture finish will hide it all. Do the whole ceiling first before the walls when boarding, its easier. Then do the walls.

Thanks...ceiling first for sure.

Those vinyl sheets are made for old offices and atco trailer.
if new...… you would glue the middle and screw just the perimeter of the edge of the board, then put a T strip of vinyl to cover the screws.
Even used, I think I would have went finished side out, it would be a lot brighter.
If you are going to paint, go to Consolidated gypsum, or Winroc. A drywall supply company, buy a product called T.I.P.S. (Total Interior Primer Sealer)
Rent a airless from home depot and make it white

You can use a roller, but an airless is about 70% efficient with your paint

This is my current home reno spring project. Redoing the basement bathroom, after 10yrs its time. Vanity and sink already out.
I apologize for the pics being on their sides, I don't know why that happened.

SLEDBUNNYRACING · May 9, 2020

Thanks for all the advice gentlemen, muchly appreciated.

I had to cut the concrete to the X for the new drain location.

Got it hung...no spiders Dave.
In hind sight I wish the grain of the plywood was going the other way [free-bee 3/4 ply]. Could have made the fingers an inch longer, was worried about them breaking off.
