Thanks for the tips about boarding my garage ceiling...now lets tackle the walls! One is internal - will be just masonry painting the breeze style blocks Other one is external(single brick) and often shows white damp /lime or whatever it is ( like powder, but scrape it off, and its back a few days later ) Now I want to plasterboard over this wall, to help Insulation / heat loss, and of course "hide" this problematic white stuff. The wall has a couple of copper pipes running up it, and electric trunking to main consumer unit, also "rear" of elec and gas meter boxes stick out a couple of inches. I dont want to lose any more width in the garage than absoluely necessary, but would like to hide the pipes/trunking etc. The pipes and stuff protrude about 50mm from wall, so 2x1 battens (fixed edge on)would just about do it...but how do I fix em to the brickwork - would a good adhesive ( no more nails type stuff) be good, or what?? Also is there a special board ( thermal plasterboard) that I should use, and should I apply plastic membrane or similar to battens before affixing boarding to prevent this white stuff bleeding through? Is there an alternative way to do the job quicker / cheaper / simpler. TYIA
