How to Install Homasote Drywall

We're late now. This is my homasote. I got to, like I say, fill this gap in, well, all the way across, maybe even somewhat even with this. But, once I put my sheetrock each corner should meet and I'll show you how to do that as well. Well, just measuring from to make sure the measurements are on time, so; it's ten inches; so, you've got ten inches from there. Take this end, make sure that it, if it isn't even don't worry about it because you're going to put sheetrock in front of it anyway. Most likely this is nine and one-half here and there's ten inches here. So, I'm really going to make it nine and one-half inches; this way you know that they're even fit going this way. But you might have a little half inch gap here, like I said it doesn't matter because you're going to put sheetrock in front of it. Reason why I put the homasote here is really not to make sure the wall is straight because, as you can see, the wall is already up all the way around. So, you're not looking for straightness even though I've got to fill that gap in but you're not looking for straightness it's just to fill in the gap. So, when I put my sheetrock up here I can move to the next wall, you know, because he wants two pieces, he wants homasote getting with the sheetrock.
