How to add drywall??

Jan 2, 2017 3:22 AM

in the cracks i can only see more wood. i don't see and kind of studs in there.

wiring running all over

wiring running on the ceiling

the other side of this wall is our kitchen

fuse box with more scary wires

Fix that black wire. That splice with electric tape doesn't look legit- don't bury a fire hazard

Nail furring strips to wall 1x2 Or 2x2 Add insulation if you want to get fancy - nail drywall to furring. Done.

1x2 would be best. 2x2 would take a good chunk of the room away once everything's finished. 1/2" strips of ripped 2x would work as well.

First get it asbestos tested, then if clear, baton it all out with 2x1 and board over
