Drywall Field Practice: Framing, Rated Assemblies, Finish Quality & Estimating
The second drywall course, for people who know the trade's basics and want to do commercial and residential wall-and-ceiling work well: metal stud layout and framing with deflection heads, building fire-rated and sound-rated walls exactly to the UL or GA listing, hanging for production and for the finisher, GA-214 finish levels with corner and control joint details, moisture and mold-resistant boards, ceiling grid and specialty assemblies, and the takeoffs, production rates, and crew management behind a drywall estimate.
