Q: What kind of drill bit should I use to drill into a wall stud?

• <div><p>Choose a drill bit that is the size of the screws of the anchors you will use. You aren&rsquo;t drilling through metal or concrete&mdash;hopefully&mdash;so any standard twist, wooden or all-purpose drill bit will work fine. It&rsquo;s also important to have a screwdriver capable of drilling through the drywall and into the stud. The good news is most available drills, even the older ones, can do this with no issue.</p></div>

Q: Will drywall need to be replaced if it gets wet?

• <div><p>Yes, any parts of drywall that are wet or overly moist will need to be replaced. Drywall is intended to be dry (it&rsquo;s in the name, after all.), as excess moisture can lead to mold and mildew and eventually corrode your home&rsquo;s foundational building pieces. Do regular inspections in your home to make sure all your plumbing is intact and in good condition&mdash;this will go a long way toward preventing leaks.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;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>

Q: How long does plastering last?

• <div><p>Plastering lasts for around <b>15 to 20 years</b> without needing repairs or maintenance in most cases, and with proper upkeep, plastering can last a lifetime&mdash;sometimes more than 100 years. Plaster repair costs between <b>$1 and $3 per square foot</b>, and you may need these services once every 15 to 20 years or so unless you have a harsh climate where humidity changes are a constant issue. You can also opt to skim-coat plaster for between <b>$0.90 and $1.30 per square foot</b>, which may serve you better in the long run.</p></div>

Q: Can I use drywall anchors on plaster?

• <div><p>Drywall anchors won&rsquo;t work on plaster. Instead, they will more than likely cause more damage and pull out the plaster. The best type of anchors to use on plaster walls are the ones that will bite into the surrounding area, such as molly bolts and toggle bolts. Masonry anchors with expanders on the sides also work for lighter pictures.</p></div>
