[@Maxkil]

Yes they are being cheap

[@vangogh1588]

I dunno.. Maybe so that if you fart on one room people in the other don't hear it?

[@smellygoatacres]

No reason to insulate interior walls. Duh

[@markhodges1276]

@h2s142 For sound primarily, but also thermal. If you have a multizone ducted AC system, especially using newer tech with individual zone temperature settings, you can close doors to unused zones and have less thermal transfer, more efficient cooling/heating. But yeah the main reason is sound. It's very commonplace in most other parts of the world to have internal wall insulation, but Australia is so far behind the game with insulating buildings in general. We may not get the same cold weather as the northern hemisphere, but we get extreme heat. We still have new builds with 4mm glass, and limited wall insulation FFS

@@zachwagner1838 when I started we nailed perimeters. Now I never use nails but I glue when I can. Vapor barrier obviously not gluing there. The paper on the face of drywall is so thin these days it is hard to get screws that don't pop through but it is still possible guys just need to pay attention more. I'm still on the fence for cordless guns. I feel to often when I'm finishing I'm turning those in 1/8-1/4 turn before the sheet is actually tight and doesn't move when pushed on. I love gluing because less screws and in the case a screw does break paper the sheet still doesn't move so it's not coming back as a pop later.

Genuinely curious, but to my knowledge you start from top down so that the inside corner joint for the ceiling has 2 factory edges for finishing. Ifyou don't care about that though going bottom up is easier to hang, since you can balance the top sheet on the bottom sheet. Cool video though!
