Twist ceiling wire in? What the hell are we supposed to do now? Nothing? Lol.
3-4 wraps in an inch. I loved framing ceiling and soffits. That was my favorite shit.
I miss shooting in them
Yeah man it’s a a pole for the scorpion lags you put a lag in the pole that also holds your wire ..drill lag in pull down a little then when you drill it spins/ties the wire whamo yeah I prefer framing over anything it’s just face pace and if you can think outside of the box in some cases your golden gravy walls to the deck are nothing when you get into freestanding then you have to get creative but all of it is like riding a bike really

Yes. By the druggies. We would frame the shit like 10” OC too. With 14 ga studs i shit you not.
We just did a armory where the ceilings and walls were 12”oc framing only 18 gauge studs but over framing it got these 4x8 galavanized metal mesh on walls and the ceiling and had to go to the deck with it 12” overlap on all seems crazyyy

Personally i hated getting stuck standing studs on corridor walls. Was prob the stupidest shit we do. Done quite a bit freestanding too. Kickers everywhere! More in strip malls and shit.

Haha yup kickers to the deck diagonals on the walls and a bunch of bob marks ..did one they wanted everything freestanding but no exposed kickers had to build sub ceilings to hang wires for grid

So yeah, you most likely frame ceilings with 1-1/2” cold rolled and hat track right?
So, i loved doing that, especially huge ceilings but like i was saying before, framing ceilings and tying our 3.4 lath to it. 1-1/2 and cross furred with 3/4 cold rolled. That was tiring but fun. We would do some crazy arched ceilings.

I’ve done similar. But we usually, if it’s not a smaller hard lid, would do the 1-1/2” and hat track. There’s a newer suspended ceiling system out that is used allot but i forget what its called. Screw drywall to it too.
