What is a 2x12 typically used for in residential construction?

Typically used for overhead beams in residential home applications or can be laminated to create a larger dimensional beam for spanning overhead across larger distances when the architect calls for an "open" floor space. Applied with the rise of the beams (12" width) sitting vertically, evenly spaced across the ceiling and braced with cross bracing material and resting atop vertical walls. Creats structural rigidity and suppresses torsional force from both down force (the weight of the force from above i.e. a 2nd floor, roof and/or wind). Build a home with only walls and a roof and push down on it with any amount of force and you'll see, exhibited by the walls, a flex, a twist, then structural failure resulting in a collapse.

Can dry fall paint be applied to perforated galvanized steel decks?

This is one of the main applications for DryFall. The only way to ensure a smooth and even painting surface is to spray. Rolling causes large amounts of drips and bleeds due to the perforations in the decking.

I believe DryFall requires an 8 foot drop before it dries. So for ceilings below that height or close to it be sure to use plastic drop sheets under the area and ensure to close off the area to foot traffic etc to avoid tracking the material hitting the floor. This stuff is like glue once it starts to stick to your boots so be sure to have lots of booties available for the workers applying the DryFall. They will appreciate it.

A month ago I hired "NYKB: New York Kitchen & Bath" for a full home remodeling. They did a pretty nice job with the kitchen and lobby. The only thing I didn't like much is the hall ceiling design, it is a bit lavish but everyone has a different taste. I recommend them to you. Good luck with your project.
