I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you’d think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

    Wall finished vary in thickness wildly

    When I was designing kitchens, I and literally everyone in the construction industry around me all assumed that drywall was 1/2”

      Fire rated partition wall? 2 layers of 5/8 each side for a total thickness of 6”

      Not to mention the other side already needs a finish making it 4-1/2 already if they are both 1/2 claddings.

        Come to think of it I think we were modeling it as 3/4 on each side, because I seem to remember the 3.5” 2x4 stud becoming a full integer thickness with drywall on both sides
