Remodeling Basement into my room.

[Young Piranha]

Okay, so Im 16 years old and Im going to be remodeling/fixing up the basement so that I can move down in the basement. The only problem I have ran into so far is that 2 of the walls are concrete.

How do I put drywall on concrete?

You will need to frame a stud wall in front of the concrete.

You will need to frame a stud wall in front of the concrete.

Hmm, is this easy to build?

And is it possible to just plaster it until its smooth and then paint?

OR

Some kind of glue to useon the dry wall.

like Bderick67 said. you're going to have to frame up a wall with 2x4's. That will also allow you to run all your wires too. And insulate the wall if wanted. It would be wise since it is a basement to use mold resistant drywall or concrete boards.

I dont understand how I could get the studs to stay in place though.

^Thats what a wall stud looks like right? But it needs put together.

Best bet for you would be to hire it done.
what part of indiana do you live in I might know someone that'll do it dirt cheap by you.
