Thank you, Yanita. No I don't have a hitch or a flat roof but I definitely have the same type of walls that you all do and that is why I came to this site for advise, and I must say I have gotten great advise. I am not going to let them drywall over the vinyl wallboard. I am going to have them tear ...

Thank you, you guys! I haven't checked the basement beams yet but I know they are at least 8" and they go across the width of the house. But there might be smaller ones going the length also. I can't remember for sure. Does 2" x 6" sound right for the roof rafters and trusses? That's ...

Thank you so much Greg and Bibrade! I'm really loving this forum and so glad I found it. I am doing a major remodel here and all this info is invaluable.

Maybe I will try one of my small rooms and see how it turns out. I'm just so tired of looking at these ugly walls...
