Drywall Dilemna

Drywall, sheetrock, wallboard, whatever you call it, its all around you. We recently had an AC unit in the attic leak and cause major damage to the ceiling in our bathroom. Fortunately when the drywall fell through no one was underneath and it was in the bathroom which made cleanup much easier.

We know what Bob Vila has to say about drywall repair and here are some more resources for diagnosing and fixing your wallboard.

update: A regular visitor recently pointed out the need to distinguish between straight 'ol drywall and it's variations. You definitely need to choose the right material for the job, especially if you are working in a high moisture area such as the bathroom.
