I was astonished to find Americans actually call plasterboard
"drywall" even if it's on a ceiling! So not a wall!
Daft in the first place to say "drywall", as all walls are dry, unless
made of mud, which is still dry once it's set.
Lath and plaster with horse hair is a wet wall....
They say two by four as well ....
I always thought they called it SheetRock ?.
SheetRock is a brand name.
It's known regionally by different names, gypboard, drywall, sheetrock,
blueboard/greenboard (mold resistant), etc.
Whatever it's called, it's ****. It's powder held together with paper.
Nope, the paper is just the surface.
Use wood for crying out loud.
No thanks, much more expensive for a wall or ceiling
No crumbling, easier to remove,
Wrong, as always.
easier to screw things into like a picture frame etc.
