![]() The cracks come because the plywood expands and contracts with the weather. It is possible to put something in the cracks that would compress and expand with the changes. Good caulk should do this. From your description, however, it sounds like the job is not a good one so trying to make it look good will be a hassle. You can put drywall over the plywood. You're right, it will take some skill and ingenuity to make look good around doors and windows. If you don't think your skill level is up to the job, it's probably not. Drywall take a while to learn to do right. If I had this problem, I would hire a professional drywaller but tear out the plywood myself, thereby keeping costs down. One good reason to replace the plywood is that drywall has fire-protection value that the plywood does not. Peter |
