Drywall removal-blown insulation
I need to replace some moldy drywall. Basically I plan to cut away about 3-4' from the floor and replace with new drywall. Maybe even use the wall to run some new copper water pipes.
Dilema: Beneath the drywall is some nice thick blown in insulation, which I want to preserve. I don't want a mess of removing it and the cost with replacing it.
I just want to remove the old drywall and put in the new stuff. Suggestions? Websites? How to?

You want it? Make a lowball offer and go from there. I'd be curious to know what the asking price was on that $300k place next door. I bet it was $450k.
Paying sticker price today, especially on a foreclosure is insane.

The actual home for sale is not a foreclosure (fyi). Zillow is a website that provides you with home information, e.g., last sale date, taxes, value, etc.
Im going to drive around Canarsie today to see some more homes! woot :)

$300,000 may just be the amount owned on the first lien. If the buyer is a bank or lender type, it is just the loan amount owned, not necessarily the market value.

You don't necessarily need the crimping tool to fasten the joints. You can by the costlier Shark™ connectors. They are expensive, but don't require a special tool and can easily be removed if you need to replace or reconfigure the system.
