Firewall. 2 layers of 5/8 (x2, both sides), offset seams, to be
"firecaulked" (at $15/12 oz. tube).

I told these idiots (oh, yeah, we can hang rock, can o' corn!) to
plumb their first sheet (of the second layer) or they were going to
run into problems. As you can see they ended up shaving finished
edges in order to hit studs. No sweat, I don't have to finish that
side.
For some reason these "experts" declined to finish out the tops of
these 12' walls. That truss is about 3" out from the wall.

I doubt you're ever safer from fire than when in a modern commercial
building.

The suspended ceiling has a fire rating, no? That probably accounts
for the double layer only to the ceiling line.

I don't get what you're saying..Do you mean they should have covered the
truss with sheetrock ??? Steele trusses , beams , ect. are usually sprayed
with fire proofing not sheetrocked.... The wall looks fine to me..Atleast
from what I can tell from the pics....Even if you plumb your first sheet you
STILL end up shaving a sheet once in a while ESPECIALLY on long runs..A TINY
mistake can become an inch over 20 feet so you just adjust as you go by
shaving a sheet here and there...No framing is EXACTLY perfect....Not even
yours...Also , not every sheet might be tight together...Drywall is NOT
finish carpentry.....In case you didn't notice they don't use giant chop
saws or table saws to cut it.....LOL....Did it pass inspection by the CEO
????

Two hour will require fire tape. Why did someone run the ceiling
grid ahead of the tape and bed/ texture/paint?

Gee, Dan, I thought you knew this stuff. They did it because the job
was what they call a "fast track" job. That's where they let a sub go
so fast that they lose track of the order of things. ;)
