Hi,
Was that the co2 alarm - never heard of that one - the fire alarm, or the burglar alarm?
Yeah, drywall and timber frame - bad combination. But instead of rethinking that one you change the frame to suit the drywall. Or not?
And I don't buy the safety thing. Not that I'm against safety, but that it has anything do with the character of timber framing, quite the opposite.
Greetings,
