Molly shredded the drywall

If you seriously think that the 70s construction with nailed/screwed single plasterboard on 60cc studwork was good, then you're not serious. These walls are among the worst built in Sweden of all time, the whole wall shakes if you hit it a little and if it concerns a bathroom, it's just about screwing double plasterboard or tearing and framing tighter.

Then you may have screwed 3000 molly in your wall, that doesn't mean that 60cc with single plasterboard is a good construction.

Where in my post do you read that the construction was good?

however, they are nailed... by a clumsy person in the 70s so the boards are smashed in some places.. but that's another matter.. =)

I assumed that my use of the term "clumsy person" was a hint that I DO NOT consider the construction to be good. Myself, I have installed double plasterboard in the walls I have torn down.. so I don't know if I am unserious... why now that should have anything to do with it, what I was referring to was that I installed MOLLY in single plasterboard and it has held very well, that the boards were nailed on cc60 (which I didn't actually write either) doesn't have anything to do with the strength of molly in single plasterboard? If the board isn't fastened, then it's fairly obvious that a molly doesn't solve the problem.. But provided that the board is properly fastened (my single plasterboard walls are studded c/c40, or occasionally gapped c/c30 original) the board holds surprisingly well even as single plasterboard, even if it's not recommended, but you can't tear down the whole house just because they didn't know better in the 70s?
