Q: I have found several methods on how to frame a basement for drywall. What are your thoughts on using concrete screws to anchor 1 x 3 furring strips right into the block?While this seems to be cost effective and easy, I'm concerned about moisture and how the drywall will look when finished. Any suggestions before I get started?

A: Frame the walls with 1 x 2 furring strips 16" on center. Use concrete nails and put liquid nails on the wood first. Also, put some 16 lb. felt {tar paper} over the furring strips before you drywall to keep the drywall from buckling.

If you decide you need professional help to frame, hang, tape or texture your drywall, or any other project to finish your basement, please return to our site at: Http://www.servicemagic.com. Enter a service request and let us match you with the ideal service professional in your area.

Good luck!
