Mold on drywall

You need to investigate the cause. Where there is mould, there is damp... If it was through the previous occupiers using things like tumble dryers, irons etc in enclosed spaces without sufficient ventilation then that's one thing. Damp on walls always needs investigating though to ensure the house is structurally sound. Have you had an extended survey done?

I don't think a Dremel has enough power to do what your after. However there is a larger rotary tool made by several different company's mine is made Dewalt works great fairly inexpensive and will do what you need.

I need help finding a stub behind drywall

The stud finders are not expensive but you can sometimes use a magnet to find the nails. Also you might try shining a flashlight across the wall. The putty put over the nails will sometimes show up. Last resort is to tap on the wall and try and hear the areas that have support under them.

What is the recommended drywall thickness for studs that are 24" apart?

5/8 of an inch is recommended. You may be able to get away with 1/2 inch if you don't really care, but i would check with the building inspector first

When you are drywalling , how do you mark the location of the electric socket ont he drywall yor about to hang in place.

You can either measure up from the floor or the piece of drywall you just hang and then measure over from the wall or the piece of drywall you just hang or you can put the drywall in place and I ball behind it and Mark with a pencil and then cut it out with a dremel tool and you should be good from there. You might want to use a keyhole saw or a roto zip and a Rotozip is the best way to do it but it takes a little practice in order to control it

I have 10000 sqft in drywall how much linear ft is it

Drywall sheets are 4 feet wide. Thus, each foot of a drywall sheet contains 4 square feet. Divide 10,000 by 4 = 2500 linear feet of drywall sheets. Add 5 to 10% for wastage.

Paint bubbling and peeling soon after painting a newly rendered wall........how do we fix it?

Sorry for the paint peeling and bubbles. It's not the drywall tape that has bubbles... right? Paint can react like this when it is applied over a sanded wall that has not been cleaned and still has a layer of drywall dust on it. When primer is applied to the wall, it is best to use something to push the paint on the surface to combine the dust with the paint. This could be done using a paint pad but should be more than just rolled on. The paint needs to mix with the dust and stir it in with the paint so the paint get under the dust. You might try thinning the paint a little to allow for better attraction to the wall. So now how do you repair this? By scraping the loose paint off and starting with a new coat. You know. it could also just be bad paint.

How is drywall properly installed in a home, the walls and ceilings in kitchens living rooms and bedrooms? Is it just nailed to the studs or does it have to have back on board behind it? But as backer

First, insulation is put in on exterior walls with specific R ratings, drywall is just screwed to studs then spackled.in bathrooms it's a little different. There's different options for material backboard that are waterproof. Some are fiberglass then are finished in resin sealant

Paint bubbles on drywall

It's been almost 10 months since the question was posted so how does it look? Most bubbles appear under the drywall tape or could be from primer / paint being rolled over drywall dust. Tape bubbles don't go away. These need repaired by cutting out the bubbled tape and filling in with compound. Tape bubbles can be avoided by using a TapeBuddy taping tool. This tool applies compound directly to the tape so there are no dry spots under the tape. Hope this helps.
