I finally got the builder of my new house to put two layers of drywall (1/2 in. and 5/8 in.) in my home theater room, but I have two quick questions:
1) Does it matter which goes on first? I know Dennis E. always says 1/2 over 5/8, but I don't know if he is emphasizing the order as much as he is emphasizing the need for two different thicknesses of drywall. I just want to know because my buider said they would do 5/8 over 1/2 and I just want to make sure that won't cause any problems.
2) Does the ceiling get two layers as well? I would think so, but everyone always talks about walls, and not much about ceilings.
Thanks for the help.
