When I was young....a long-long time ago.....I recall there were two different kinds of interior wall material.
One was drywall.
The other was called sheetrock. It was unlike drywall in that it was thinner and was a solid material rather than compacted. It really resembled a sheet of rock.
I don't know why one would be used in one application over the other. I do recall it was hard to work with and, as a skinny little kid, I couldn't lift a sheet alone.
Is what I remember as 'sheetrock' still used? Or is drywall now sometimes referred to as sheetrock?
