Alternative to sheetrock? - CountryPlans Forum
Dec 13, 2012 · I sand, but it is with my variable speed Porter-Cable drywall sander with vacuum attachment. Hook it up to a shop vac with a drywall bag and you are sanding in style. Wickedly fast,e xpecially in the wide open spaces. That being said, I'm not fond of sheetrock for buildings that may go unheated in the winter like cabins.

Rough cut Hemlock Pine Ceiling/walls
Jan 25, 2014 · One of the few tools that I don't own is a planer and a table router. I found pine T&G 1x8 for $1.00 a BF. I can get the rough cut for about half the cost of that however, the rough cut will need planed. I really didn't care about the roughness of the finish other than I don't want it collecting dust and dirt.
toe nailing drywall - CountryPlans Forum
Apr 2, 2011 · youll surely get nailpops if you try to toe in drywall. you should really be able to hit it straight on if you land even close to the center. try the nails, but the screws will/should be the best. if you find your not landing on center, snap a chalk line on you preveous peice of drywall and "carefully and cleanly" razor out the edge.
DRYWALLING AN UNHEATED CABIN - CountryPlans Forum
Feb 20, 2005 · I can see how temperature cycling, and the attendant humidity cycling, could cause wallboard to crack at the seams - unless you can figure a way to hang the board "floating" so it can expand and contract and you can find a flexible taping compound. As alternative, perhaps you've hit on the reason so many old cabin interior walls where covered ...
Question about filling void between outer wall and drywall
Jul 22, 2024 · I have a gap of about 40x5 inches between the outer wall of my house and the drywall inside. I'd like to block it up as we're in that time of year when mice may crawl in and get in the house. The filler foam was unsuccessful, so I was thinking of blocking it up with some wood and then using filler foam around any gaps to truly seal it up.
Unheated cabin concerns w/ mold etc. - CountryPlans Forum
March 16, 2006, 09:03:15 AM. We are wrapping up construction on a 24x16 cabin and need to finish the interior. Drywall is cheap and easy, but I am concerned about issues of condensation, mold, and cracking during the cold Maine winter. The cabin is insulated (R-13), but mostly to allow for 3-season use and to keep it a little cool in the summer.
Poly-encapsulated fiberglass
Dec 26, 2008 · Lowes has John Manville encapsulated fiberglass insulation in continuous rolls, 15" wide by 8.25" thick. Since I am planning 8" walls, I thought this would be a good choice for the wall insulation, especially since the fiberglass is totally encapsulated (except the cut ends of course). I plan on using drywall inside and use Avantech plywood ...
