It amazes me how many people don’t realize that sheetrock replaced our old interior lath and plaster system. Drywall is ours! Lmao. Actually we’ve been fighting with the “carpenters” over it ever since back then. But like i said. We are UBC.
If you’re out of a carpenters local and you hang board, or frame with steel studs, you get dispatched out of my lathers local. The biggest out there.

I love stuffing corrugated decking with therma fiber “safb” and fire spraying almost as much as I love pushing a broom

When the first slip track came out, top track inside a little wider top track(now it’s slotted track) we would have to cut up the therma fiber and shove in between the two tracks on any fire rated wall. Most of them.
The combination of that and chipping away at fireproofing was pretty standard for many years working tops lol. I don’t miss that shit

You know it that’s what we still have to do on some jobs and god forbid some sheet rockers when they top out can’t notch them out ...that slip track is alright but then you have to use wafer head screws have 3/4 for deflection i don’t even get the whole point of deflection well I do but some builds soffits laying on walls just defeats the purpose

It’ll keep changing, and changing, and changing.
When i first got in there was no slip track. There was no pocket lasers either quite yet. The dude who invented the first pocket laser, ended up being made by PLS, was in my trade from a shop i worked for a year or so for.

I've seen base coats with horsehair for strength, and later ,they used horsehair matting nailed up and coated with a couple coats.
Pretty sure those walls can stop bullets, what do they add nowadays to the lime base coat? Any fiber material?

They got this shit called bullet board i’ve installed before. We put that shit around the pharmacy inside the Palo Alto Va hospital we built.

One of my buddies took a sheet home and shot at it with his 30/30. It only broke when shot on the corner

Twist ceiling wire in? What the hell are we supposed to do now? Nothing? Lol.
3-4 wraps in an inch. I loved framing ceiling and soffits. That was my favorite shit.
I miss shooting them in. Nothing like a big blast next to your melon all day long :-)
