Finishing a Basement: Question!
Posted Nov 08, 2005 07:40 PM
I am finishing my basement, and I have one wall that I am unsure how to handle. Basically, here is the wall in question. Notice its adjacency to my staircase. http://www.bookac.com/Images/Basement/without_stud.jpg If I decide to go with studs straight against this wall, like this: http://www.bookac.com/Images/Basement/with_stud.jpg , I am going to severely interfere with the size of that opening into the basement. Also, I wouldn't know how to handle the transition from studded wall to the sheetrock that is pre-existent in the stairwell (as can be seen in the first image I linked). I guess my question is, should I go with a studded wall, furring strips, or am I supposed to somehow adhere the drywall/sheetrock to the concrete wall. The last solution makes a little sense because it would line up nicely with the sheetrock that already exists at the top of the stairwell. Thoughts? Thanks. |
