What Is The Difference Between Resilient Flooring vs. Vinyl?

Plastering is one of the oldest construction techniques. This white material made from gypsum or lime hardens when dried.
Plasters cover brick or stone masonry. Since plaster powder becomes paste when mixed with water, it needs two coats for full coverage.

How To Hang Drywall In Your Home? DIY Steps

  1. Put adhesive to the studs, starting with the top. Your wall stud is the frame that holds your structure in place. It helps keep the drywall panel in place to prevent nail heads from popping out.
  2. Hammer a few nails to the first sheet, horizontally across the ceiling and close to the wall corner. Make sure both vertical sides align with studs.
  3. Add 1/4 inch when measuring the space left. Mark the front of the second panel. Snap the front of the gypsum and cut the paperback using your knife. Smoothen edges with a rasp.
  4. Hammer ring drywall nails into the second piece. 
  5. Mark the studs because that is where you will place your screws.
  6. Put the screws into the marked studs at 16 inches apart from the middle. And 8 inches along your vertical joints. Place a 3/8 inch gap between the screws and the edge.
  7. Measure the height and width for the bottom row and cut. Use steps 2 and 3 above.
  8. Measure from the bottom of the top panel going up to the top of the electrical box. Transfer the same mark to the new piece of drywall
  9. Measure the height and width of the electrical box and create it on the new piece of drywall. 
  10. Hold the panel into place and keep it 1/2 inch off the floor. Hold it in place using tacks.
  11. Hang your next piece and add all the screws into place.
  12. Cut out windows and doors using a wood saw while hanging the drywall. Joints created at the door or window corner increase the appearance of cracks later. Avoid them
  13. Avoid seam creation at window corners while hanging the bottom panel. Make cutouts using a saw.
  14. Cut and leave around 1/8 inch of wiggle room for inside corners. Apply joint compound  on the gap later
  15. Hang the panel on the corner of one side. Then secure the adjacent panel, Cut the excess backside of the overhang.
