Doing the rough sheetrock is easy enough ... at least in my experience.
Taping, plastering and finishing it smooth ... that's a whole different
ballgame. I don't have the patience (or skill) for it. I've done
some in a loft above the apartment in my house that was unfinished.
Got the sheetrock up fine but then finished it with plaster with a
sponge to give it that "stucco" finish look. Hides a lot of sins. :-)


I sub out the drywall when I use it. I can do drywall but I am slow
and it is not as good as a real plasterer will do.
The new room only has drywall on the ceiling. The walls are plaster
over block. The electrical was poured right into the wall.
The room is pretty much "flood proof"
