Great video! I recently had some water intrusion from a recent storm here in southern Cali. The intrusion came from an exterior wall and I believe it’s coming from under the exterior and bottom plate not being secured and sealed. The plywood looks rotted from exterior at the bottom. How would you replace it? Do I need to knock half the wall off from exterior to replace plywood? Sorry for the long description of my problem but insurance denied me.
Need drip flashing at top in between the wall and the stone above, drip plate at top of door. As well as install a steel door with dead bolt for commercial use. Double top plate above door.Drip blate on bottom as well. Pour a 6-10 inch concrete bottom plate to put the wall on. Tape the Vapor barrier seems.
Have you had any problems with the popcorn squishing down after drywalling directly over it in any jobs? My brother had the kitchen ceiling done that way to hide the popcorn, which had been painted over so a simple dampening and scrapings wouldn't work. About two years later it came loose and had to be completely torn out and re-drywalled. Original contractor would not take responsibility for it. Total PITA.
My ugly ceiling was sand added to paint back in the 50's, just enough uneven texture that ot reflected no light. Everyone insisted by dampening it then it would scrape off easily. I'd painted it once & couldn't chop it off using my 6 in 1 blade. Good job!
I'm in the same situation, I'm thinking about a 1/4 thick angle bracket bolted to the concrete and fixed to the stud. Maybe on each stud. Maybe 2x6 construction for extra rigidness
I couldn't agree more a clean Jobsite shows your professionalism, and for me, I don't like to work in clutter or junk, or I don't like to work at all, actually Hee Hee!
The proper term is acoustic ceiling. There were used to prevent echoing in larger rooms. The home renovation industry has now labeled them popcorn ceilings, but flat smooth cielings echo sound.
