When you are starting from framed walls and you plan on using some kind of
wainscoting, how would you seal the joint between the sheetrock above and
the plywood below?

Thanks,

I would cover the entire wall with sheetrock. Then, I would apply
wainscotting. Finally, I would cover the edge of the wainscotting with
stair rail.

Put the drywall on first, then put the wainscoting on top of the drywall.

to be more precise, drywall the whole wall, all of the way to the
floor. then install the wainscot. and as Tom said, chair rail is a
good way to trim the top of the wainscot

And if the wainscot is going to be say T&G bead board, run
nailers between the studs at the top and middle of where you
are installing the wainscot. Then drywall and you have
something on which to nail it.

Thank you for your collective advice. I've been doing more reading than
doing along the lines of trim work and it seems that when it came down to
doing it . . . I ended up with a few more questions than I started with.

For five years I've been staring at these basement walls waiting until the
money and time both came together at the same time to do the build out. The
beer has been set aside and replaced with a saw, hammer, and a trusty
measuring tape.

Thanks again,
Patrick

I'll post some pictures when there is something to show. As of now, I'm
pretty proud of the work being my first.
