I have done some demos in my time and have seen the old plaster and lath style of older construction methods. While dealing with these jobs. I would often wonder about having to go through with the method of doing this . It would have been so time consuming. They did make an improvement and they made gypsum board. Yes that was better , and yet they had something to trump that which was drywall. Drywall is a form of gypsum board but it came in larger pieces. But drywall wasn’t in use for a long time after it was invented.
In some zany way it sort of reminds me of gas. Its plain knowledge that right when we figured out the internal combustion engine some guy decided the only thing we can use it with was oil. There was a guy wanted to use peanut oil. It’s a wonder diesel fuel made it!
Take oil out of the situation and where do you find yourself. A factory farm produced over developed, cant even support your own weight cooked chicken. Now that sounded a lot better when the veil was still up you know after world war two. When if you didn’t have, well you had to get it, or you were a cooked chicken!
Come to think of it we have oil in our paints still. I swear when I started over ten years ago they were getting rid of oil back then. So why is it still around today. I don’t know I could give you a rant about how some fat cat up in his ivory tower is getting rich off of this oil, but the guy isn’t all bad at least he budged on drywall?
