I was astonished to find Americans actually call plasterboard
"drywall"
even if it's on a ceiling! So not a wall!

I'm not astonished or amazed that you are astonished at that, you
have
always been that mindlessly obsessive about words.
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.

Plastered walls are wet when you are doing the plastering, stupid.

Not usually in America, where they just tape and fill the joints.
Hence
"Drywall".

I was talking about lath and plaster, not joins in whatever you call
sheets
of drywall.

Wet plastering is still done in the UK, most obviously with skimming.

Far too skillfull a task for an American.

Wrong, they used to do it that way until they invented drywall.

You lot are too stupid to do it the better way.

I'd never use the Neanderthal stuff.


It is in fact much more recent than timber walls


Doesn't mean it's better, just cheap ****.


Does mean its not Neanderthal stuff, you
pathetic excuse for a bull**** artist/troll.

Dyson bagless hoovers are more recent, doesn't mean it's a good idea to
have your dust float all over the room when you try to empty it.


Anyone with even half a clue does that outside,
stupid. And its certainly not Neanderthal stuff,
you pathetic excuse for a bull**** artist/troll.

And if you want cheap, just buy chipboard.


Much more expensive than plasterboard.

Easier and cleaner to cut, put up,


Wrong, as always.

remove,


Wrong, as always.

and screw things into.


Not stupid enough to do that.

you pathetic excuse for a troll.


Pot kettle black. Everybody on here refers to you as that.


Lying thru your ****ing teeth as you always
do when you have got done like a ****ing
dinner, as you always are, you pathetic
excuse for a lying bull**** artist/troll.
