I am in the process of coverting a garage apartment into a studio. I have made several posts (last post was on ceiling joists, which I have not fixed yet, because I'm still trying to wrestle the bathtub out of the bathroom/soon-to-be-isolation room), but every step brings more questions.
Here's this week's installment: The walls were covered with "beaver board", an oldtime paper/fiber mess that comes out in small chunks. I have removed most of this, but have determined that it was run under/behind the door and window trim and base boards. Therefore, I am going to pry the trim loose and remove this.
When I put in my sheetrock (2 layers on resilient channel), should I run the sheetrock to the floor and attach the trim to the sheetrock or studs, or butt the sheetrock up against the trim, so that the trim is is attached directly to the studs, with insulation behind it?
To the extent that it matters, the trim is wood (appears to be fir, by look and smell). Any advice is appreciated.
