I am doing a quick fix in our basement entertainment room until the day we potentially tear out the whole thing. The basement is dry and in good condition, the house has been newly drained and has new ventilation. The inspection noted during the purchase (before drainage and ventilation) that the walls are a risk construction since they are framed against the outer wall, but no alarming moisture levels were detected and there was no bad smell.
The walls have taken a bit of a beating over the years, so it's either full spackling or gypsum board. Since I'm not very skilled at using the spackle, I'm wondering if there is an increased risk of "building in" the old wooden wall behind renovation gypsum?
If not, is there anything specific I need to consider, or can I just go ahead?
