I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you’d think I paid for the full 1.5.

      I just realized that you’re confusing gypsum board with drywall. While they are similar, gypsum board can be used for the loads you’re describing.

      Drywall, however, cannot.

        Uhh… what…? They are the exact same product. You’re gonna have to provide a link for this one lmfao.

        Are you seriously just going to throw shit at the wall and move every goalpost to try and save face now? Jesus fucking Christ lmfao.

        Due to its inherent fire resistance, gypsum board, commonly known as drywall is the premier building material for wall, ceiling, and partition syst…

        I feel like yours still going to make an idiot of yourself after this comment as well.

      Yes, it provided load support but it’s not providing structural load support……

      To be extremely clear, your own, provided definition, is not talking about structural components.

      Yes, on an interior, non-structural wall drywall can stiffen the structure. No, that does not mean the drywall is structural.

        You’ve never heard of a drywall shear wall…?

        God, why is so hard for people to accept drywall is structural lmfao. It’s not stiffening it, read the provided link it explains it quite well multiple times with extra resources for you to follow up if you choose.

        Every component we have talked about can be used structurally, I’m sorry you just apparently haven’t encountered one of the over 1500 different wall assemblies that use them…?

            Uhhh what…? I was explaining how everything is structural while you kept moving the goalposts away from furring strips being able to be used structurally. Yeah I picked a not so great example, but they are still fucking structural components lmfao.

            Give your head a shake.
