It's about 7 or 8 seams. The problem is, if you take a look at the previous pics, they laid all the OSB down so that all seams run together. That's why I'm leaning towards 54" -12' drywall and laying them down horizontally on top of the OSB. I'll get a nice 9 ft wall with less seams and...

I'm not sure I understand. The whole garage is covered in OSB. There are no bare studs to be had.

Do you think 1 5/8 drywall nails is long enough to go through 1/2 drywall + 7/16 OSB + Stud?

I decided that I'm just going to hang drywall on top of this monstrosity. Think that will be OK? I'll keep the ardox nails in mind.

Here is a pic. The boards as you can see bending into the cavity. And yes, I realize there are more than a few things wrong with this setup. They're not even hung in the pattern I wanted it to be. Sent from my Galaxy S4

That's what happens when you leave a nail gun lying around.

It's new to me but a buddy of mine tried it. It's mostly an oil based primer, mixed with a little bit of mudding. 2 coats and the OSB looked smooth. So I was thinking about doing the same. I haven't made up my mind on that yet though.

Tell me if you think this would work: Cut out a 5x5 inch square near the middle part of the seam, shove a small block of 2x4 in there in both the top and bottom of the hole and nail it to the sheathing, place the square back??? Sorry, just trying to think outside the box.

Please tell us you're not going to tape and mud OSB... :eek: I am going to go over the entire OSB with a Primer/Mud mix.

I like this idea, but too bad the wife doesn't. I'll try to get some pics up later.

They are attached to studs, just not laid correctly so that the seams are at the studs. Some of the boards were slightly warped which compounded the issue. Apparently, the studs were not exactly 16" apart. Well, that was their excuse anyways. At this point, I might just say screw it and...

Now that looks like an interesting option, especially since the nails are pretty deep.

They have already left town and good thing too because I was pissed. Anyone have any experience mudding over mending brackets? I was wondering if I could use those to bring the seams flush. Maybe furring strips are in my future.

*sigh* I really wanted to avoid doing that since it's going to be a royal %#$% pulling them off.

Hi all, First post but I've been lurking for quite some time. OK, so here's my story: I'm in the process of finishing up the garage. I had to run to Home Depot to pick up a few more supplies while my cousins were busy cutting OSB to be hung on the walls. (Perhaps not the best but it was...
