I'd bet that 95% of the houses around here have 2X4 stud walls. The common 2X4 stud wall is probably the most common framing method in the South.<br /><br />But, it doesn't matter, because my project will he an interior stud wall.Pawpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959820068377494313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-43601652575708675772018-01-04T18:22:36.984-06:002018-01-04T18:22:36.984-06:00Is he in some locale that allows 2x4 exterior fram...Is he in some locale that allows 2x4 exterior framing? I have never seen this "4 stud" method done with a 2x6 wall corner- to stack enough 2x lumber to get a nailer on a 5 1/2" wall corner, , it would take a minimum of four studs (6") leaving a marginal 1/2" nailer. And to get a better nailer, 5 studs. <br />So the "upgrade" from a three stud corner is a six stud corner. <br /><br /> the other benefit of a three stud corner, outside of economy, is less heat transfer- that solid block of material is un-insulated. With a three stud corner, the insulation can be tucked in.<br /> <br /><br /> ravennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-69729176317364141702018-01-04T16:46:24.585-06:002018-01-04T16:46:24.585-06:00And then I watched the video and see that my comme...And then I watched the video and see that my comment is redundant...(embarassing).<br />DaveShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688116113875695262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-70688658684529688052018-01-04T16:45:03.092-06:002018-01-04T16:45:03.092-06:00I use a modification on the four stud corner.

One at the top, one in the middle and one at the bottom. Saves wood and money and is just as strong.<br /><br />DaveShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688116113875695262noreply@blogger.com
