You can give it a go if you'd like too. Drywall is one of those things that is easy to do but is a true art to get it done right. If you want to give it ago it won't cost much but will take some time and rework to get it to the quality of those new stairs. A dry wall crew will get it done on the first pass and it would look great.

Looking at the picture again, you could cover the area with a nice piece of wood that matches closley to the stairs and floor. This might be alot easer DIY wise.

Yep, first step is cleaning then replacing the thermocouple. Try shining it up with some fine grit sand paper and position it just a little closer to the flame. If that does not work pick up a new one.

The sweating and rotting would come about because a moisture barrier is blocking moisture from escaping. It's got nothing to do with the Kingspan. Feel free to add as many as you need or want. Do you live in a humid environment ? In Colorado, I'd never worry about is as I live in a very dry environment .
