Garage
I moved my home on the weekend.
Funny how you can get things done with the least amount of tools as everything is packed.
I must have used my cordless impact gun to remove a couple hundred screws holding things to the wall. Remember when we used a regular screwdriver for this?

I used the Lincoln 180C welder.

I was getting quite good by the time I finished the job.

I went with 5/8 because it is thicker and the fire rating is double 1/2-inch standard drywall. My 95-yr old house is all plaster and pretty much soundproof. I wanted thicker drywall because it feels thicker/more solid (like plaster). I went with the green, moisture resistant because this is the kitchen. The cost is a little more but in total, $250 for the room. 1/2 inch would have been about $175. And for extra sound proofing, I insulated the walls before installing.

I will be hand troweling the texture to match the plaster look like the rest of my house.

That makes sense. Thanks for the follow up.

My little sound system to amplify my old Yamaha FG580 and my voice as I spent a couple of hours entertaining the fire fighters who have been working to control the wild fires in western Nova Scotia for the past 7 weeks.
