Senario — An older house, we tore down the paneling from the living-room walls. There is 1X4 sheets of drywall nailed to the wall studs…..yes 1X4 pieces. I didn’t know they came that small.
Anyhow, I don’t feel like taping all those seams, And the old drywall is kind of rough looking with the glue that was between it and the paneling. So I was going to put up 4X8 sheets of new drywall over the top of the old. or do I just rip the old drywall down too? and replace it?? should the drywall go on vertically or horizontally?? I suppose to make it work where the outlet boxes are, I should put new up and tear out the old……Thx in advance.
