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>

Q: Do you put mesh on before or after drywall mud?

• <div><p>Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you&rsquo;ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.</p></div>

Q: At what moisture level does drywall need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Any level over 17% moisture should be replaced, as this could be a sign that the drywall is too compromised to be considered safe. A contractor or water restoration provider can come out and use a moisture meter to check the moisture level in your drywall. </p><p>If after a visual inspection you&rsquo;re still unsure about if your drywall is salvageable, a professional reading is the next best option.</p></div>

Q: Should there be a gap between a drywall wall and the ceiling?

• <div><p>There shouldn&rsquo;t be any gaps between your walls and ceiling. These can be fixed with joint compound but that is only a fix, and it&rsquo;s much better if your drywall fits correctly in the first place. Sometimes gaps can appear if your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-signs-homes-foundation-trouble.htm">foundation shifts significantly</a> but if this is the case, you have a much bigger problem than patching drywall.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install drywall?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-cost-install-drywall.htm">Drywall installation costs</a> around <b>$2,000</b> on average, but some projects cost as low as <b>$400</b>, while larger or more complicated installations can cost <b>$6,000 or more</b>. The most important cost factor is the size of the room or area, as many contractors charge on a per-square-foot basis. You should also consider the complexity of the installation. If you have large, flat walls with few wall openings, you&rsquo;ll pay less than if you have multiple windows and doors to cut around, corners, or curved walls. </p></div>

Overall, I have to say I was wildly disappointed with the Magnolia in Omaha. For starters we got mysteriously bumped from our "jacuzzi room" to a lofted 2 story "suite." At 2am, after our wedding I was in no mood to argue. Initially the two story room, with kitchenette was impressive, however...
