Framing interior walls before drywalling the ceiling?
How is it usually done?
The way I learned it.
1: Install furring strips on the ceiling (extra furring strips where needed for interior wall studs).
2: Frame the interior walls.
3: Install drywall on the ceiling and then put OSB and drywall on the interior walls.
Or is it done in a different order nowadays?
But I'm involved in a construction project where the carpenters want to drywall the ceiling first and then frame the interior walls; my concern is that it must be difficult to attach the studs that go in the same direction as the furring strips if they don't line up with them.
