Can you install shower walls over drywall?

• <div><p>Generally, shower walls should not be installed over drywall because of the moisture issues this can cause. If you’re using a direct-to-stud shower kit, you need to remove the drywall before you can do the installation.</p><p>However, if you’re using a glue-up shower kit or stall, you can glue the shower walls directly to drywall. Be sure to install a moisture-resistant drywall or waterproof cement board.</p></div>

Should you glue a drywall ceiling?

• <div><p>You can prevent air leaks and sagging by gluing a drywall ceiling. However, not every drywall job is a good fit for Sheetrock adhesive, and many pros say ceilings are one of those cases. When you place them properly, drywall screws make ceiling Sheetrock part of your home’s structural support system. </p><p>Adding glue won’t increase the strength of the drywall, and it can make it much harder for you to remove and replace damaged drywall. Adhesive can bridge gaps, though, and it can keep temperature-controlled air from escaping or entering through the ceilings, making rooms more energy efficient.</p></div>

What is the best way to cut drywall?

• <div><p>The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.</p></div>

Woke up to no water pressure in the upper level of our house. Ran to the basement and found standing water on the floor. I could hear the sound of water spraying against the inside of the drywall in our bathroom. We shut off the water and called a number of plumbing companies, hoping one of...

CET was on time and very professional. My only slight disappointment was that I had to have someone come in later and put in some drywall and paint over areas that had to be cut into. This wasn't the electrician's fault though -- perhaps it was due to my lack of understanding of the project.

I called three companies. Gilson was the first to return my call. He said he could have a look that same evening. He did not measure, but estimated three gallons of paint would be needed. He recommended a product that was primer and paint in one. He offered to come out the next day (!) if it...

We had used them before to replace a broken sump pump. They left information on their backup system at that time. We thought $1200 was steep, but after finishing our basement we thought it a good investment. They came out within a week. The sump is in our family room so I was concerned about...
