Is it difficult to drywall a ceiling?

• <div><p>It is more difficult to drywall a ceiling than it is to drywall a wall, but not so hard that DIYers can’t tackle it. One of the main issues with hanging drywall on your ceiling is getting it into place. Drywall isn’t light so, if you are hanging full drywall panels, you will need at least two (it’s better with more) people to hold the panel while you drill it into the ceiling as a single piece can weigh between 40 and 60 pounds and will need to be held in place for up to 10 minutes.</p></div>

Can I texture walls myself?

• <div><p>Some textures are easier than others to DIY, but the short answer is yes, you can absolutely texture walls yourself. You’ll need certain materials, like a trowel or paint sprayer, but the most important things you’ll need are patience and time. DIYing wall texture can save money and be a fun, messy project, but homeowners need to know that <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-add-texture-paint.htm">adding texture to a wall</a> isn’t a quick project. </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>

Q: Does it matter which side of drywall you use?

• <div><p>Yes, it matters which side of drywall you use. One side is smooth, and the other is rough. The smooth side should be facing outward, toward the room, while the rough side should be hidden and facing the studs and framing of the house. The smooth side will be easier to apply tape, joint compound, and, later, paint to.</p></div>

Q: How do you tell if a wall is plaster or drywall?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-tell-drywall-vs-plaster.htm">figure out if your walls are plaster or drywall</a>, but the pushpin method is probably the easiest option. To try it, choose a part of your wall where you can insert a pushpin or thumbtack without leaving an obvious mark. If it goes in easily, you have drywall. But if the wall is tough to penetrate, that&rsquo;s plaster.</p></div>
