Drywall install question

All the explanation is in the referenced home moaners site.

You are WRONG - accept it.

That would not be 100% accurate. This is the ICC structural code chapter 7 Footnote to TABLE 721.6.2(1) TIME ASSIGNED TO WALLBOARD MEMBRANES (Goes on to list various types of wallboard and the fire rating)

"b. Gypsum wallboard installed over framing or furring shall be installed so that all edges are supported..."

replying to gfretwell, Iggy wrote: Ouch! You can't throw that requirement at a Horizontal, it means they're wrong...they don't like that and they'll just refer to the ASTM's laughable error that they refuse to fix or even acknowledge.

I checked it out. I don't agree with you, as explained previously.

Thank you for the reference. In my eyes this makes vertical install mandatory... But then again what do I know...

Only if there needs to be a fire rating.

If you put firestops in the framing all edges can be supported in horizontal installation.

Good point

The laughable "pros" only do a good and proper job *IF* it's specified...it's "screw everyone" until that specification shows up. It's called Cutting Corners, if it's hidden it's skipped and if the hack's work has to be fixed then it's just a price increase for needlessly forcing wrong into right. You've got wheels, why would you want tires too is the mentality.

Most fire-stops are positioned ______-------_______ for nailing purposes through the studs. I am not a builder but expressing what I have seen.

Now that they all use nail guns, toe nailing those fire stops in is not just for seasoned carpenters.
