My leaking roof

Hey, I appreciate Marcel.

The garage was fully rocked with 5/8 fire code walls and ceiling so fire separation is maintained.

BTW - I spoke to a local builder recently and he told me the AHJs don’t give him an grief about untapped rock as long as it is hung tightly together.

I right it up anyway.

I’ve seen some tape that is supposed to be fire resistant enough to be an accepted alternative to the coat of mud. Sorry, I don’t have a link.

Okay, here it is:

Oh, I see that one is not rated for ceilings…maybe another is?

If they are not airtight IC fixtures, the blown insulation will only slow down air leakage, not stop it.

Really? :roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:
