Prepping the floor - how to keep walls dry??

[REFLEXX]

Gents,

I'm drywalling the garage and the epoxy will be the last step. How did you keep the water out from under/in the drywall? Did you mask or tape it?

any suggestions???

thanks,

Hmmm drywall all the way to the floor eh? I think I would go with some sylicone all around the bottom like a bathtub. Then maybe some waterproofing type paint around the bottom few feet.

I bought a roll of .004 vinyl from HD and thumbtacked it up on the walls and let it hang down to the concrete portion of the walls( about 1.5 feet of concrete)

I also decided to epoxy my floor before I sanded the joint compound on my walls. It was very easy to vacuum the dust up off of the epoxied floor as opposed to trying to vacuum it up from bare concrete.
