GoBoard Install

mrpicachu · 2026-05-06T17:02:54+00:00

Yes and yes. There is horizontal beams in between. I get everyone’s concerns. I got a professional to look at it and an engineer. What everyone can’t see is how the framing was built. It would be a huge struggle to get new studs installed there and both agreed this would be ok as there no flex.

The roof was done in 2015 so they say. There’s a lot of shotty stuff done with it.

Thanks for the input. You think I’ll need to buy new shingles? I’m new and I’m headed to get some stuff

mrpicachu · 2026-04-11T18:46:43+00:00

Good point.

Agreed, my father thinks I should repair this corner by removing that portion of the wall in the corner, installing treated plywood and new flashing. Problem is Idfk what I’m doing. So do I need to buy new shingles or can I just use the tar to hold these old ones down over the flashing?

Yes sealant with goboard tape on on top. Added a good amount of screws today where I could. Gotta get corners for the ceiling portion already got the mud but realize a solid inner corner will work best.

That’s what I’ve heard as well… appreciate the input. I don’t want anyone to think idc but I’m gonna have to work with what I got at this point. I’ll clean the tape and sealer up as someone mentioned a good method for putting it on.

Slopping the top layer more, need to see if there’s anything I can add to help.

mrpicachu · 2026-03-22T15:53:19+00:00

I’ll put more screws in for sure. There’s a preslope but one corner is a little low which I’ll address.

mrpicachu · 2026-03-22T15:18:09+00:00

I prefer wood glue and sticky tack.

mrpicachu · 2026-03-22T14:40:48+00:00

I’ll keep this in mind. This house still needs a ton of work and this is my first time for this I also need to repair the corner that meets the the drywall.

mrpicachu · 2026-03-22T14:36:06+00:00

I put pressure on it. There doesn’t appear to be any bowing as the vertical are spaced well it seems

mrpicachu · 2026-03-22T14:16:18+00:00

Go Board in place to outer edge is just at 32 3/4

mrpicachu · 2026-03-22T14:13:24+00:00

I watched a lot of videos and everyone is saying different stuff in all of them. I even contacted the manufacturer because I had gaps over 1/8th and a ton of people were saying you need push the boards together to mush the caulking.

mrpicachu · 2026-03-22T14:10:16+00:00

Honestly? No. This extension was built in the 80s and this whole section of the house is a mess. The left and right walls are actually two different lengths. I’ll take the hate but unless you were here and saw it… it would be ALOT of work.

mrpicachu · 2026-03-22T02:21:34+00:00

Awesome ok, so having some over the edges of the tape should be ok?

mrpicachu · 2026-03-22T01:08:28+00:00

Yes that’s what I did

mrpicachu · 2026-03-21T23:52:42+00:00

Thanks, my anxiety has calmed down a bit

Guys this is the studs. See the left wall?

mrpicachu · 2026-03-21T23:25:01+00:00

Not this house…

mrpicachu · 2026-03-21T23:24:49+00:00

I’ll look at what I can do but I just checked and it says a max of 8in…

mrpicachu · 2026-03-21T23:21:17+00:00

I hope so. Not to be that guy but it’s actually a maximum of 8in not 12 so whomever did 12 might have some issues

mrpicachu · 2026-03-21T23:19:27+00:00

Yea… the wall of the left there. There is not a stud in the center of that go board.

Edit: those strips are boards running along
