I’m tuned it, hoped to see the Sheetrock getting put up. I’m getting my window wall turned into a regular wall but the wall in facing outside. I have a question. The contractor says no need for joint compound and tape due to a new method with only using caulking. How sufficient is that to use only caulking, in your opinion? ? Because I’m not trusting it so much…. 😩
@darryldarks2 ай бұрын
Hi Shanelle. I’m glad to hear that you’re liking the videos. I’ve never heard of hanging drywall and then finishing the drywall with just caulking. I’d have to understand the full scope of the project. Usually, you hang drywall, then you float, tape, and finish the drywall to a specific level of 1-5. I hope that helps. 🙏👍

Great question, Motown. Specifically for pex piping, you cover them basically a pool noodle like material, it’s called foam pipe insulation. That material protects the pex piping from the sun and against freezing. But… I will say, pex piping already has antifreezes properties. 👍🙏

@@darryldarks I'm not sure, I guess it depends on if the design needs an engineering stamp before it needs to be submitted for permitting...it gets convoluted sometimes navigating the bureaucracy. Adding another possible layer of confusion, I live in Indiana and, supposedly, there is the "Log Cabin Rule" that allows anyone constructing a building that will be their permanent residence to not have to submit to or pass any building regulations of their jurisdiction...🙄
