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.

    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…?

        Well, you’ve changed the goalposts from drywall on furring strips to a shear wall.

          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?

              Did you respond to the wrong comment or something?

                  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.
