ripped off some water damaged wall covering in our finished basement.
Water was due to foundation cracks and crappy gutters noir repaired by a prior owner. I repair the gutter so the area is dry now.
The materials used were 1x3 pine strapping, Styrofoam insulation panels between, 3/8 dry wall over that, topped with a common wood paneling.
We will use the same paneling on top so we don't have to do the entire wall.
My question is, should I use the same materials underneath or will I be better off using 3/4" plywood against the cinder block wall, 3/8 ply wood in top of that with the top paneling?
My thinking is the the ply wood is easier to secure the layers. Considering a combination of the newer concrete screws to secure the base plywood to the brick. Then I can screw the next layers into that.
Plus I can strap plywood to the roof of our Jeep Patriot. Can't strap drywall. Ha!
The area is <12' so it is not much material.
Primed the brick with anti mold primer.
