or 2 pieces of drywall furring channel nested together, on the top side
of the standard drywall furring channel to assist in leveling the
ceiling at or near the perimeter. The strong back shall be placed
perpendicular to the main drywall furring channels
Install the gypsum board to the drywall furring channel leaving a 1/
