There is a good article addressing your question in August's issue of Journal of Light Construction (brand x to FHB). Pay careful attention and it's irrelevant if there are any big parties planned. Best to build to potentialities, not expectations.
There is no point in me trying to summarize that information here. You may be able to get the article online at jlconline.com
