Gutted mobile home to studs.
Have read sheetrock is too heavy. I have a 1960s and worry about weight. When I took up the OSB and put down 3/4 plywood....I was really worried and really don't want to add MORE weight.
What are options for walls?
Lowes and Home Depot are the local stores that deliver. Any online stores that deliver and freight isn't too outrageous?
Thanks everyone!
Wall options?

You should be fine with sheetrock, you could drop down to 3/8" if you think there will be a problem. Since much of the weight of the panel would be supported by the floor I think you would be OK.
The original walls most likely were 1/4" wood paneling. I would not use that again due to fire ratings.

Both lowes and HD have the 3/8" drywall in stock by me.
