Good advice.  Fortunately I'm doing almost all perimeter walls (against the foundation) and very little interior.

Yep, the one I decided to shorten was an interior wall.

billf:
Chad, did you seal your foundation walls with something like Drylock basement paint?

ChadTower:

Yep... Drylok is exactly what I used, then covered in styrofoam insulation sheets.  No plastic since the basement was already quite dry before the Drylok.

I'm about to start doing my basement next month. 2 questions:

(1) Since I'm thinking about putting a pellet stove in my basement, I was thinking about going with furring strips instead of 2x4 walls. I was told not to since I wouldn't be able to put good insualtion in.  One since I'll have a pellet stove, would the r factor really matter (I live in the NE)

(2) The most daunting part of the task will be mudding and sanding the walls.  I was thinking about hiring this out.  Is it really that time consuming to get it right?

sorry about hijacking your thread
