Drywall Information
DRYWALL
Drywall panels are fastened directly to wall studs or to
furring strips applied over masonry surfaces, using wallboard
nails, wallboard screws, or—in some cases--adhesive.
The joints between panels are hidden by wallboard joint
tape and joint compound. In some cases, a texture of special
topping compound is applied over the entire surface.

INTERNAL and EXTERNAL NOISE - Some homes are often
spaced closely, and noise from traffic, neighbors
and even
within the rooms of the home are often general complaints
