Thank goodness, right?

It’s maybe the simplest thing you can possibly build, besides DIY Shutters, that is.So now it’s time to attach the drywall.

Passivhaus: creating a roadmap to net zero carbon

Try to use a single sheet, or as few sheets as you can.This will make your life so much easier and you won’t need to fill and tape as many joints!.Measure how fair apart your studs are in the frame that you built and draw some faint lines in those places on your sheet of drywall.

This will make your life extra easy when it comes time to knowing exactly where to put the screws.. Like this!.Drywall can be super heavy in big sheets, especially if you’re trying to bring it up a really narrow stairwell without breaking any light fixtures in the process (#AskMeHowIKnow), but try to keep it in a big sheet if you can because it will be so worth it!.

To help you keep the drywall in place while you’re screwing it into the frame, you can do like Chris did and make yourself some little holder shelf pieces.

So smart, right?.Creekline House.
