I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you’d think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

    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.

          Most places that we’re going to talk about have an electrical code as part of the building code. Is electrical wiring structural?

                Okay then, that has nothing to do with whats being discussed, but you’re free to comment about electrical I guess.

                  I thought we were discussing what qualifies as structural. I guess we’re just talking about whatever you feel like talking about.

                    I’ve been defending my points about how certain components of structural assemblies are structural.

                    You can also use a sheet of plywood in non-structural ways. No different than claiming that these furring strips and sheets of drywall aren’t structural. I can point out plenty of places where plywood isn’t structural, but that doesn’t change that it’s still used structurally.

                    I think this thread is being taken over by people with zero education on this subject. What’s with all the insults for pointing out the painfully obvious? Oh that’s right, people don’t like being proven they are dumb and lash out as a last result. That’s right.
