Appeared on an Owner's narrative for specs for a current project? Greta Eckhardt Senior Member Username: gretaeckhardt Post Number: 78 Registered: 08-2013 Posted on Monday, July 16, 2018 - 03:43 pm:    Are you sure they were not misspelling gypsum wall board? Jerome J. Lazar, RA, CCS, CSI Senior Member Username: lazarcitec Post Number: 1907 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Monday, July 16, 2018 - 03:52 pm:    Its wierd, there are no other spelling errors, Painted Gibson Wall Board is mentioned thru out the document. It could be a misspelling or a sad joke. Jerome J. Lazar, RA, CCS, CSI Senior Member Username: lazarcitec Post Number: 1908 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Monday, July 16, 2018 - 03:54 pm:    and gypsum is spelled out in other locations in the narrative.

I tend to think Greta's instinct is right, and someone unfamiliar w/ construction materials misconstrued the name.

And we all know the horrors of auto-correct and replace. Jerome J. Lazar, RA, CCS, CSI Senior Member Username: lazarcitec Post Number: 1909 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Monday, July 16, 2018 - 06:39 pm:    I could buy a spelling error if gypsum wasn't correctly spelled in several other line items, its strange. The odd thing is the Project Manager is very knowledgeable and he also asked if I ever heard of Gibson Wall Board. Maybe I am being punked. Thanks Lynn, Greta, and Jeffrey, my apologies for the waste of time.

I know I am going to regret this, but maybe I will start a new thread and ask my colleagues how they define FUN!

They make digital interactive graphics. Also http://www.gibsonathletic.com/gibson-wall-padding-wp-87225 Or they could be covering the wall with vintage guitars: http://www.vintageguitar.com/27374/gibson-wall-board-guitar/ How is the board on your project being used?

The Narrative excerpts: "Conference Room Ceilings: Acoustical Ceiling Tile - Painted Gibson Wall Board" or For another space: "Ceilings: Gypsum Wall Board Painted". Jerome J.

Posted on the wrong board: Below is a response to my query to the Gypsum Association from Michael Schmeida, Director - Technical Services”: “There is no manufacturer named Gibson we are aware of, nor do we have any record of one in our archives. My belief is there are one of two possible scenarios going on here: 1. Someone meant to type gypsum and misspelled it and autocorrect made it Gibson. 2. They may be referring to a distributor to provide the board.” "Fast is good, but accurate is better." .............Wyatt Earp Jerome J.
