Time to Rock!

With the liner in place, it was time to do the Durock on the walls.  On the far wall I had added some shims made of 1/4″ plywood to bump out the studs so that Durock could lay flat over the drain pipe that I found stuck out beyond the studs.  After that I started cutting the Durock and hanging it up.  To cut the Durock I had originally bought a carbide scoring cutter, but after doing the piece for the ceiling I found that a jigsaw with an old blade on it, allowed me to cut circles easily, and I started using it for the straight lines as well.  While it dulled the heck out of the blade, even the dull blade cut through the board very easily, and made a nice clean, straight cut.  Unfortuanly after putting up two pieces I realized that I had forgotten the vapor barrier underneath, and therefore had to take them down, put up the tar paper, and then put the boards back up.  My wife gave me a hand putting up the Durock, as I couldn’t hold them, and screw them in place all by myself.
