Utility Room Wall Work

Wallboard Repair Using Scrap Plank Floor

Floor Before Old Vinyl Tiles
I had removed a section of wallboard in order to to fix a leak from the hot water supply line. I traced the section below the valve but didn't need to remove it to get the pipe fixed. I used a wood chisel to chisel out two sections where two four inch wide pieces of scrap wood flooring would go.
Entrance Before Pavers and Drain Waiting for Elves to Install Them
Liquid Nails was used to attach the right side of the backing to the studs. Liquid Nails was put on the front of the left side of the wood pieces and attached to the back of the wallboard. The adhesive was allowed to dry overnight. I had the original piece of wallboard that was cut out. I put enough Liquid Nails to cover the back of the piece of wallboard where it would make contact with the wood pieces and set it into place. After drying, the wall was ready to be covered with ceramic tile.
