Default Attach Drywall to Sill Plate?


"James Harvey" wrote in message

Hi All,

I am remodeling my garage and noticed that the drywall is not attached
(screwed) to the sill plate and somewhat bowed outwards at the bottom
because
of this. I plan on attaching 1X4s for baseboard with finishing nails but
I
am concerned that hammering might break the drywall due to the age of it.

Should I firm it up with drywall screws in a few places into the sill
plate
or not? Don't want to waste my time if not needed. Any advice
appreciated



Use screws, not nails.
