Drywall tape

Drywall tape

Ok last drywall question. I have bamboo flooring that's like 3/4" thick. But I will probably put in vinyl plank floors later, which might either go on top the bamboo (making it 3/8" taller still) or replace it (making it 3/8 lower). My wall is built onto the subfloor now. So there's hardly any baseplate showing above the bamboo to screw the drywall to, since the baseplate is sunk 3/4 deep.

Should I:

1. Cut out the bamboo and slide drywall down to 1/2" above subfloor (thus 1/4" BELOW the level of the current bamboo floor) so I can screw it to the wall baseplate

2. Leave a 1/4-1/2" gap between the bottom of the drywall and level of the bamboo floor. This will put the drywall barely overlapping the bottom plate of the wall. I won't be able to screw it between studs unless I add blocking. If I add floor on top of the bamboo later, it will be fine. If I change to thinner flooring later, there will be a retarded big gap, but the baseboard will cover it anyway.

I'm leaning towards #2.

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Tuoxin.
