Before you tell me I did the drywall wrong, I really know that for a fact. we bought a house for $11,000 and have made more than our share of mistakes. But at this price we could afford them. this was a great first time remodeling job.
Thanks for this info. As inexperenced remodelers, we managed to place drywall over the old slat board walls to create the same problem descibed here, at the front door. I will try this.
