How are insulation and sheetrock related?
Insulation and sheetrock are related only in the sense that they are used in walls. When one side is drywalled insulation batts can be stuffed in the other side and then boarded up.
Is gypson sheetrock green?

What element is used to give sheetrock its strength?

Does the foil faced side of rigid insulation go against the concrete wall?
Rigid insulation by DOW makes many different types of insulation, most have a foil side which should be glued to the concrete while the colored side with logos on it will face out ready for walls to be framed and sheetrock to be hung.
Can repair pipes in wall behind shower with out tearing out shower?
Usually you cut a hole on the other side of the wall behind the shower. Very often this is in a closet. If not, you can use the piece of sheetrock to make a door or put it back in place and retape the joints.
What is the standard spacing of a stud wall?
Typically 16". You'll notice on a tape measure that 16" is highlighted. This is the distance from the side of one stud to the same side of the next stud (e.g. from the left side across the existing stud to the placement of the next one.) The actual void between studs is a little less (14 1/2). This is so sheetrock/plywood falls evenly on the wall.
What causes bathtub rings to form?

Can you install a window AC unit through an interior wall...I'm in a loft and the opposite side of the sheetrock is attic space. There are no windows.?
Not suggested, the exhaust and condensate would end up in the attic. There are air conditioners made for situations such as yours. They just sit on the floor, every once in awhile have to empty the condensate pan though.
Can you hump the side of your bathtub?
Yes, but you might get hurt. Be careful.
Concerning the effect of temperature on diffusion the higher the temperature the faster the movement is this statement true or false?
No, it's false. Because temperature has nothing to do with diffusion.Diffusion is like this, imagine that you are pouring a water on a bathtub, if you pour the water on one side of the bathtub, the water will still go to the other side of the bathtub and then the water will be leveled inside the bathtub. Therefore no matter what temperature it won't affect the movement of water.
Can soda cans be used as insulation?
yes,with some duct tape connect them in a standing position the height of the space between top and bottom plate of wall. Make these tubes and stand them in the wall tight against each other, before wall sheetrock or plywood is up(it's easier with one side up to give cans a wall to hold them up). This will create dead air space, and considered one of the best insulators.
How do you repair sheetrock?
Hole the size of a quarter, just fill it with joint compound and sand smooth. Anything up to 12 inches, you can cut out the damage, cut a piece of sheetrock 2 inches bigger in both directions. On the back side, cut through the back paper only 1 inch in all the way around, break off that one inch and peal it off of the front paper. Apply joint compound on the 1 inch flange, set it in the hole and work the mud out around the edge. Finish the top of the whole piece with compound and sand. Anything bigger, go to the studs on either side of the hole, cut down the center of the stud and across to take out the damage and put a new piece in, Put a block of wood behind the rock in the middle of the space. This can be anything, 2x4 or a piece of plywood, screw through the old rock above and below the cut and after you have the piece in place screw it to the same board. It doesn't have to be solid between the studs. Finish the joints as you would any other joint.
