Hi there,
I am considering finishing my basement and have found it to be very challenging. I will be installing drywall 1/2" or 5/8". I have found that some utilities are on the way (copper from water, gas pipes, etc). They average 1-2 inches from the joists. How do you handle that? Are there any special tools I need to think about?
I am thinking compensating with extra wood but that is to complicated. I was also thinking about hidding the utilities inside the joists, but that also is to complicated. I wanted to see if there where any other options other than the ones I have.
Thanks
Edwin
