Q: How do I get a perfect line between my wall and ceiling?

• <div><p>When doing a DIY paint job, it can be tricky to achieve the perfect, straight line between your wall and ceiling. There are several methods, including lining it with painter&rsquo;s tape and using the &ldquo;cut in&rdquo; brush tactic. Some homeowners choose to apply a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-learn-how-apply-caulk.htm">thin line of caulk</a> to the wall-ceiling seam to create the appearance of a perfect line.</p></div>

Q: How long can drywall be wet before mold?

• <div><p>According to the EPA, mold grows within 24 to 48 hours if left untreated after a water leak. So unless you notice the leak and stop it right away, you only have a day or so before mold is a real concern. If you don&rsquo;t notice the leak, it can take about three weeks for the mold spores to become visible. That means you&rsquo;ve likely had an active mold infection for a few weeks by the time you notice discoloration.</p></div>

Q: Can you plaster over regular drywall?

• <div><p>You can plaster over regular drywall, but it's essential to prepare the surface properly. Before plastering, the drywall should be clean, free of dust, and any loose or peeling paint should be removed. Applying a primer specifically designed for plastering can improve adhesion. Some professionals recommend applying a base coat of plaster or joint compound to create a better surface for the plaster to adhere to. Proper preparation ensures a smooth and durable plaster finish over regular drywall.</p></div>

Q: Why does my drywall keep cracking at the seams?

• <div><p>If your home&rsquo;s foundation shifts slightly over time, any seams in the drywall represent the weakest point in the wall, leading to cracks. If your home has significant changes in temperature and humidity, this can cause the drywall to swell and contract slightly, causing a crack at the weak point of the seam. If your drywall installer did a poor job securing the panels to the wall studs, this could cause a weak layout and cracks in the seams.</p></div>

Q: Can drywall be installed in an unheated garage?

• <div><p>You can drywall an unheated garage because the material handles cold temperatures perfectly well. There are no risks or downsides to installing drywall in a garage that is not heated, and the material stands up to moisture and other elements quite well. Drywall will protect your unheated garage's electric wires and cables and add fire protection. However, for effective bonding, you should install drywall at a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.</p></div>
