A. Drama or focus walls are the ones where you want the color. You haven't given any information as to what that wall would be in your room so I can't give you a good answer. When you walk into the room, what wall is featured the strongest? That should be the wall you do the drama on. Do you have a large wall or a fireplace wall that meets you first? Is the wall of windows the one that you see primarily?

Walls: How do I get textured walls and rounded edges on corners in my house?
Q. Do I have to hire contractor to spray my walls with plaster or this a not-so-tricky DIY project? I love the look of textured walls. My house has many sharp corners too and would look so much better with a rounded edge to them. Thanks
Asked by Signilda - Sat Sep 1 17:22:51 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You can add texture to the paint, this is the way many diy'ers do texturing. A professional will spray it from a hopper. As far as round corners, I would not recommend you try this. The corners are metal and the old corners would have to be cut out with a utility knife and all the nails removed making a mess of the drywall. Drywall mudding takes practice to get a professional job.

I want my walls gyprocked, do they leave a space between the gyprock & your original wall can moisture occur?
Q. My parents purchased a property where we all have our own space a house and two appartments. The walls in my appartment are brick I wish to change them by having them either gyprocked or cement rendered. Can moisture occur from an internal gyprocked wall and do they leave a gap between the original wall and the gyprock or is it better to have a wall cement rendered? Please help me. I would appreciate any advice.
Asked by Wendy S - Wed Jun 18 10:01:43 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Are the walls internal walls or external walls? Interior walls can have a 1x2 or 1x4 nailed to them and then the drywall can be placed over it. Same with the exterior walls. The only difference is that I would put insulation in the 1" cavity and put a vapor barrier (plastic sheeting) over the insulation to keep any moisture that may seep in through the brick to the drywall.

How do the walls of the atria compare to the walls of the ventricles?
Q. How do the walls of the atria compare to the walls of the ventricles? How would you describe the texture of the inner walls of the ventricles in a heart? thanks so much!!
Asked by xoxo - Mon Jan 11 18:53:38 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The walls of the atria are so much thinner, with the fact that they need to be flexible in order to pump the blood and for allow steady exchange in between the atria and the ventricles. The Ventricles are a lot thicker with the fact that these are needed to pump the blood either to the upper or lower parts of the body. I hope that this helps you.

How do I replace a wall of tiles in my bathroom with just regular painted walls?
Q. Right now I have a lovely shade of pink on my tiled walls in my bathroom. I'd like to get rid of the tile on the walls NOT surrounding the bathtub. Can I just remove the tile and plaster over it? The walls are concrete (or something like that. they are not dry wall). I'd like to know if I could plaster or something like that and paint over it?? Thanks!
Asked by LV - Fri Feb 23 11:12:15 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It is probably a block wall. The tiles should pop off easily. There are a few ways to treat what you will find under the tile. Probably the easiest would be to attach furring strips to the block wall and then install 1/2" drywall. A plaster wall would be pretty easy too, if you can get the block wall really clean after you remove the tiles. If the block wall is pretty bad, you can do a two-coat (brown coat/skim coat) finish also.

Bathtub wall remodel with solid surface walls: good or bad choice?
Q. The previous owners had a plastic laminate around the tub. It's time to replace it, and I've been looking at Swanstone solid surface wall kits as an option. Of course, tile would be more desirable but I'll go with the solid surface unless others have negative experiences with the way it looks, and lasts. Does anyone have experience with solid surface?

What paint technique for faux adobe walls?

A. One thing you might do before painting is to texture the walls so that they look like adobe. You'll need to get a box of drywall mud (comes in a 50 pound box), a stucco brush, a 6-inch spackle knife, a bucket to thin out the mud, and a drywall sanding screen (optional). Also, make sure to get lots of dropcloths, because this is a very messy procedure. Scoop some mud into the bucket and dilute it with water until its the consistency of stirred mayonaise (not so much that it's runny, but enough that you can scoop it up with the stucco brush). Take a brush full of mud and fling it at the wall. It should stick to the wall and not run down the wall. If it's too runny, scrape it off with the spackle knife, put it back into the bucket, and add… [cont.]

You can pick one of these up at any hardware store in the paint section. Essentially, it's an extended plastic spatula and you can get one for $10.

A. You really need to provide more information because you don't state what the present wall board material is or if it is plaster and lathe. New rock and mud will give you new walls. You can also make sure you're insulated up properly as well as maybe add a little electrical. Again this is all dependent on the material present. Is it worth it to go through that mess and work if it is old? if it is wallboard of one form or another patching and sanding and sponging may work well. Trick is getting that old paint off so it doesn't continue to chip under new finish. Age of the house and location always helps if you don't know the material used.

Q. What type of wall anchor do I use in older type plaster walls? I tried the white plastic ones are a screw-in type with an aggressive thread (as opposed to the expanding type). THe plaster in the wall just crumbled and the anchor never really seated itself firmly in the wall. I assume there is a type specifically for plaster walls??

A. Butterfly toggle bolts are definitely the way to go! I had the same issue in my home and it worked like a charm. I guarantee it will work!

What is the best way to remove old wall paper glue from walls?
Q. The wall paper stripped off fine but left the old dried paste on the walls. I don't know if the old paper was pre pasted or old fashioned paste. We want to paint the walls, not repaper them.

A. Go here: The product is called DIF, can be found at any hardware store, is great for removing paste. I've been using it for years without fail. Just follow the instructions and have patience. Good Luck!

A. Paint the walls pale yellow, and get the kids involved and sponge on a border, which can be 6" from the ceiling to half way down the wall... of blue, green, tan (very little tan) or sling on the walls with the paint brush...what ever you decide they will be more happy with it if they get to help...because they did it...good luck and enjoy.
