I know I haven't posted much lately, but I've been around quite a bit.
We have a room that previously had bead board around the room, and it was put on with adhesive. Before we moved in, someone had ripped the bead board off the walls, leaving that part of the drywall a mess. Instead of using new bead board, I'm thinking of putting 3/8" drywall over that part, and using trim on the top to make it look good.
I am not good at drywall finishing, although I have done it (way too time consuming for me). Is there a reason I shouldn't use a good drywall adhesive to put new drywall over part of the existing drywall? Maybe I should use just a few screws along with the adhesive? I really want to minimize finishing if possible.
