Re: adjacent panels
Jerry P, you are of course correct in that a 1/2" gypsum wall between an R-3 occupancy and its attached garage is a "separation wall" and not a firewall. I keep forgetting that probably due to when we, on the left coast, when adopting our new 2007 CBC, lifted pretty much the whole banana from the 2006 IRC. Old dog and new tricks syndrome I think?
