Q: How much drywall do I need for a 1,000-square-foot basement?

• <div><p>The amount of drywall you need for a 1,000-square-foot basement depends on the ceiling height, angles, number of doors and windows, and more. To find the wall square footage, multiply the width and height of each wall, minus any gaps from windows or doors, and add the totals together. You&rsquo;ll also need enough <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/drywall-nails-vs-screws.htm">drywood nails or screws</a> to install the drywall correctly.</p></div>

Q: Why do you wet-sand drywall?

• <div><p>There are several benefits to wet-sanding drywall, but the main perk is that it produces far less dust than dry-sanding. As a result, wet-sanding poses fewer health risks and makes less of a mess in your home. Plus, damp sponges are less abrasive than sandpaper, so there&rsquo;s a smaller chance of scratching or damaging the drywall paper. Wet-sanding also creates a smoother finish than dry-sanding.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of plaster walls?

• <div><p>Plaster provides a durable, soundproof, and moisture-resistant finish compared to drywall.</p></div>

Q: How do you hang pictures on a plastered brick wall?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stucco-vs-brick.htm">Brick and stucco</a> are a lot more different. You must use picture hanging clips designed for brick walls, or use a plaster rail system with adjustable hooks. Any other type of hanging hardware will cause damage to the bricks behind. You won&rsquo;t be able to really use nails, either, because they&rsquo;re not strong enough to go into the bricks.</p></div>
