Tried a new indian(east) buffet last night, everything seemed fine, my dinner companion repeatedly questioned/insisted this is pretty good huh I thought it was pretty good no complaints now just for S+G I google it and the reviews are horrid.:cool:
 
on line reviews on sites like yelp ect. aren't worth the paper they aren't printed on. Its often competitors leaving crap reviews and people that go to an authentic Mexican resteraunt and wonder why its not tasting like taco bell.

I do like me an indian buffet , where did you try?

nope I know exactly where you was, its ok and the price is fine for what your getting. And its significantly safer than having Indian food in Indian.

That's nice to know. Helping somebody pick up drywall using my truck and trailer should come at a reasonable cost. I don't think I made minimum wage (but on the up side I supplied the fuel) on this one.

Well, drywall doesn't taste too good, and it's very difficult to cook, I would expect poor reviews.
 
Ha ha - I did the foam board/ bluwood / roxul system in my basement and when the ESA inspector came for the rough-in inspection he said 'this is a Holmes on Homes home isn't it?'

He puts his drywall in horizontal which bugs me. It's the lazy man's way.
I keep expecting him to tell the guys to boot holes where the electrical boxes will go.

I had my basement insulation sprayed in, and everything was "mould resistant".
It was much more convenient, since we had all of the floors, ceilings, and walls torn out, and looks better on paper.

horizontal is not the lazy way, its how its designed to be installed. Drywall has a grain direction.

Yeah right, and all those butt joints in the middle of the wall are a bonus that people should pay extra for.
 
10ft wall , 10ft wallboard, 12 ft wall , 12ft wallboard. There should be very few butt joints in a properly drywalled house. And its stronger installed horizontal.

You want to live in a 10' x 12' box, or shack? Taper fix, taper fix.

10' ceiling, 10' drywall, 8' ceiling, 8' drywall.

I'm starting to understand why some of the higher end houses might have gone back to plaster.

If my bedroom is 31' by 15' 6" with 9' 1/2" ceilings, studs on 16" centres. . .

Everything is going to open concept still, isn't it?

Anyways, what about sound propagation through that thin piece or pieces of tape?
Wouldn't the seam be better off being along a stud?
 
My basement is just under 8' - did my sheets vertical. First time, so I wanted tapered joints mostly instead of butt joints. My wife did the taping. She was worried about some of her work on the ceiling, certain light conditions highlight your work. But now that I've gone through the experience, I can see all the taping work on our upper two levels that I never noticed before, and her work in the basement is better than upstairs LoL. It's a shame now, I've been spoiled - I can see all the defects now.

I've heard about the strength thing but believe that the horizontal layout is really a cost (time/labour) savngs for the pros. Get the longest boards you fit into the site. The long tapered joint at waist level lets them tape/sand that long joint faster then going up and down. Stagger the sheets so you get a 4' butt joint every 12'... Overall mud and sanding effort is less = $ savings...

Well since you asked, no, the joint is filled, then taped, then filled so there is not usually a thin piece of paper on a joint. Sound is transferred more readily by solid framing members than through available air space. That's why DWF channel was invented, to isolate drywall from framing members to mitigate sound transfer, if that's a concern.

Horizontal is absolutely a cost savings, and a quality factor, the wall to ceiling joint is one of the most visible, why not have a 12 or 16ft continuous joint to work on rather than a seam every 4 ft? worse are the guys that don't get horizontal sheets should also be staggerd , 16 ft wall is a 12+4 and coming back its 4+12 so your verticles are offset.

FLSTC, I'm hoping your wife wasn't charging you $85.00 per hr to hang out in your basement, we all want nice work, but it adds up pretty quickly.
