Tips and tricks for fixing damaged drywall? The home repair DIY thread.

use glue and screws. the glue is cheaper than screws, and lets you use a lot less of them. it also acts as a bed, like in mortar, and i thing there is less unevenness when glue is used. someone prolly said this already, but i couldn't read through the posts......too high and relaxed.

Well right now I'm working on a side project. An autoflower 1 plant cabinet, four 35w cfls (which I'm guessing are like 130w equivalent each).

I think it would be fun to throw it in my office aside from the real grow just to experiment with some other autoflower strains.

I bought an old house last year and have been slowly renovating and i wasn't ready to do the bathroom yet, but my hubby and i were in the shower together and someones hip went through the wall!! It was 40 yr old tile put up over regular sheetrock!! It was wet and moldy behind it so now i have to take it all out.
My question is...can i put something else up besides those yucky tub surrounds or tiling that whole frickin thing??
I was thinking about a big vinyl graphic/photo of a wave or something cool and different. Any ideas?

Afraid not...But when you do replace it,use Durarock and lay your preferred tile/stone over it...
You can use vinyl,just not sure how that would look,may look pretty cool
