After seeing prices on 17" tires I am not nearly so excited about getting 2008 wheels

And my drywall saga continues! Looking at 8x4x1/4" sheets now, which weigh in at 38 lbs each...

In order to fit these into the Fit, I would need to cut in 1/2. This would not only eliminate problems of needing help transporting but I am also confident I can lift 19 lbs for minute to get it screwed into ceiling studs.

The 1/4" board is $1 more per sheet than the 1/2" or 3/8" so I'm thinking I may do this by priority... like doing the area over my exercise bike first.

Looked at the 2x2 replacement panels but that would more than double my price... although it would be super easy to transport and to install... decisions decisions

Hey 3312 with the Suzuka, stop hiding and say

A 2

Who or what is 3312? Lurker

Have you thought about using a staple gun and tacking up a white sheet to cover the insulation? Maybe you can't do the whole basement that way, but you could cover the exercise and laundry areas pretty easily and cheaply.

3312 is Gary. Nice guy.

That's what I have over the laundry area at the moment But I am not happy with it because

1) the sheet material does not go all the way to the edge of the wall because there are no studs right next to the wall to nail it into
2) you can not pull it tight enough no matter what and the material "billows"
3) it was super hard to put up because you have to drape most of it over top of you to nail it up
4) cutting out holes around light fixtures looks sloppy and probably dangerous to have cloth that close to electrical
5) Sheets are expensive, even at walmart

For the qty I would need I priced it out about $75... for a few bucks more I could have real drywall that would look neat, go all the way to the wall, be flat to the ceiling and I could put some spackle over the screw heads so they don't look like little spiders waiting to fall on me.

It's all about not having spiders touching me in case no one has figured that out
