Remodeling DIY Kitchens

need advice on dryrall panel layout

8 years ago

I knocked out some walls in my kitchen, and need to drywall back over the new perimeter. I know that it's not a good idea to have drywall seams over doorway edges, so I'm wondering what the best layout would be, and how far back I should cut the existing drywall to insert a new panel, if at all.

If anyone experienced could draw out panel layouts on my photos, I'd be grateful!

Who did the structural calculations for you to remove that load bearing wall?

Drywall joints need solid backing like studs or blocking. Doesn't matter if they're over a door.

You've got way bigger issues than drywall joints. Big gaping void in your flooring, unfinished cabinet ends, exposed backside of backsplash.

You may be in over your head.

The support posts etc look like they could be bowing a bit too, unless it is just the angle the picture was taken. Quite honestly, I would put that short piece of wall back, because, it would look better with it, and also eliminate the problem with the flooring, and the unfinished cabinet ends etc.
