You've got to mark out all the low spots, clean the poo poo out of the floor, mix 40lb bags of compound in 5 gallon buckets, and carefully spread it and feather it into the low spots. Also the self-leveling material is pretty expensive per-bag as well. I swear we used like half a pallet of it leveling the floor in our house.

If you plan on doing any significant amount of drywall work, get yourself a rotozip. For example, in that doorway you'd just have shoved it through the wall near one of the sides, moved it to the side until you hit the stud, and just followed the stud all the way down. It really comes in handy when you've got a bunch of boxes/vents in a wall. This video describes it way better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPFi0Dvui-I&t=58s

NotJustANumber99 posted:the multitool will cut into things on its edge I guess, whereas thats basically just a drill. Interesting certainly but would it not work just using a drill already plunged through the plasterboard? I think the only difference is the bit - the rotozip bits cut on the very tip, but then there's a 1/4 inch part or so that's just smooth steel, so you don't manage to mangle the box you're cutting around.

Definitely keep us up to date on CAD options - I've been using some ancient version of sketchup for awhile now, and it nags me to go to their cloud (read: worse in every way) version every time I start it. I am dreading the day I have to wipe my computer for whatever reason.

Are you cutting the insulation? If so, a cheap generic wood hand saw will make it go a lot cleaner.

Wood glue and nail the pieces together from the top?
