My first reaction was the usual response to something new, "Oh great, something else I have to do that will slow me down." However, the contractor I was working for demanded the use of glue and so I adapted. It wasn't long before it was no big deal. In fact, it made me faster. Instead of the three sets of two I was used to driving, now all that had to be driven was one nail in the field on walls and two on the ceilings. Again, wow. Although this was the fastening schedule my boss required, I still had my doubts. Well my doubts were quelled after the following experience.
We had finished hanging a house on a Friday and returned the following Monday to hang the bead. Over the weekend, some kids had decided this 2,500-square-foot home would be the perfect spot to have a party. Nice big rooms to slam-dance and plenty of scrap wood lying around to build a bond fire. The plan may have worked out alright-with minor consequences-except for the fact that they built the fire inside the house. The firemen were very quick to respond and the shell was saved.
