Glue sheetrock to foundation??
I have a customer who wants some sheetrock glued right to the concrete foundation wall rather than to put studs up due to space concerns along the stairway. I figured Id have to use a moisture resistant sheetrock and glue it real good and put a few concrete screws in for extra comfort. Has anyone done this before? Thanks

Bad medicine.
At least a vapor barrier and
furring strips or hat chanel.

I have had my drywall guy do it for me in a couple of jobs in the exact same areas, stairwells.

Never had one complaint about it.

Those are the key words to me.
Implies exterior wall, and
trouble.
If it's interior......
