Outdoor Living: I have been looking at plans for a Brick BBQ and I was wondering if anyone had plans for a Smoker and a Wood Burning

Pizza Oven? I am looking at building a little cooking island that I can have all 3 options. I know with a smoker that it is best to have indirect heat.

they said nothing could be done other than to rip out the and put up new ones. So my question is what is the best way to remove old Drywall and also the breaker box in that room is a mess is it just a matter of buying a new one and poping it in?

    I haven't started on taking out the drywall just yet. Someone was saying that Drywall is ...»
    unable to hold smell that it is probably the paint on top of the drywall that is holding the odor.

    Would repainting be a better way to go or is that not going to help? Want to make sure that I don't go and repaint the room and then have to take out the drywall anyways. I have even tried airing out the room. That didn't help at all with the odor from the german roach infestation.

    Just not sure how I should proceed with getting rid of the smell.
