What does that mean? I know you are referring to the sheetrock, but what does "floated" mean?

 

[sbutz17]

It's for sleds, sleds and more sleds. I buy 'em smashed, blown or just cheap in the spring, fix 'em up and sell them for extra $$ in the winter for my personal sled mods.

Floated meaning he didn't line the edges of the rock onto the studs. Seams were "floating" in mid-air.

OK, thanks!

What is the advantage of having the edges on studs? Is it to help the sheetrock from breaking?

When you originally build a typical residential structure your studs (verticle 2x4's or 2x6's) are usually spaced at 16" OC (On Center). Drywall is sold in 8', 10', 12' and so on. Your seams HAVE to fall on a stud! Half of one sheet falls on one half of the board edge and the next sheet butts up against it and is fastened with drywall nail or screws.

When two paices meet in the middle it's a recipe for disaster! if you so much as lightly lean on that "floating" seam you will more than likely have a break in the tape/mud.

My Dad has an MX just like the red one other than it's a pearl white color. 92 and it's got close to 20k miles on it now.

 

[sbutz17]

Ceiling done. Also regraded outside so no more river running through it every time it rains. (PO didn't quite do things right but at least he put it up for me!)

On to mud and tape.

Wow, lots of sleds. I am up around Lake Scugog in Ontario. Where are you? Nice shop, almost same size as mine.

I had one of those mx's

My back hurts looking at a pic of it

 

[sbutz17]

All of those sleds are for fixer uppers for profit... except for the one under the cover. That's my baby.
