[DIY] Re: Plank over sheetrock?

(My thought from commercial construction experience) is that you would want the sheetrock for fire protection of the structure; (may) even be required by codes, even residential. Your pricing looks high (without discussing square footage), but I maybe out of date.... old fart that still recalls $0.10 Krystals and kerosene and $0.27/ gal gasoline, LOL... but still 15-20yrs out from pricing...

The shiplap/ veneer can be installed w/ construction adhesive.

RE: [DIY] Mildew/Stains on Concrete

Just some additional general comments on pressure washers and their

nozzles (tips).....Each machine should have a set of 4 nozzles.......

Each with a different spray angle - 0 degree; 15 degree; 25 degree and

40 degree.....There is also a "black" tip for use with a chemical injector.......

Since chemicals are not applied under pressure the "black" tip will

only "flood" the surface to be cleaned......For cleaning concrete a 4000psi

pressure washer is preferable.......Since this pressure setting is not

consumer friendly, I suggest the use of a 3000psi machine......Some large

machines DO NOT have any pressure adjustment......Some smaller ones

WILL have adjustable "unloaders".....You need maximum pressure for

concrete, lesser pressure for wood decks or siding.......The best nozzle

for concrete would be a special oscillating zero degree, if rentable....

Otherwise the 15 degree should be used.......Also remember that maximum

water pressure is within 2 inches of the nozzle......A 3000psi machine should

produce 2600psi at this point.......Pumps
