SchmidtGenetics , to mildlyinfuriating in 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Actual size is supposed to be 1.5

Did you respond to the wrong comment or something?

The roof can be put down without the furring strips. It might bend, but it still function as a roof.

What…? Roof trusses go parallel with the length of the cladding panel, you require furring strips on the perpendicular to install them. Just like in a wall with the studs vertical, you need horizontal furring to install them.

These required larger furring strips due to truss spacing.

Furring strips are not visual lmfao. They are structural components in a lot of assemblies. Without knowing the assembly you can’t say if they are or aren’t structural, that’s the entire point I’ve been trying to make here. You aren’t the quickest one are you? I’ve pointed this out multiple times. There are thousands of use cases where furring strips are structural. To say they aren’t structural is fucking asinine lmfao.

Uhhh what…? I was explaining how everything is structural while you kept moving the goalposts away from furring strips being able to be used structurally. Yeah I picked a not so great example, but they are still fucking structural components lmfao.

Give your head a shake.

You’ve never heard of a drywall shear wall…?

God, why is so hard for people to accept drywall is structural lmfao. It’s not stiffening it, read the provided link it explains it quite well multiple times with extra resources for you to follow up if you choose.

Every component we have talked about can be used structurally, I’m sorry you just apparently haven’t encountered one of the over 1500 different wall assemblies that use them…?

Absolutely incorrect

What’s that got to do with furring strips that can be used in structural drywall applications? We are getting too far from the original point.

You agree drywall is structural and that’s all that matters to this discussion.

And yes, if the furring strips and drywall are detailed in the plan, they are structural components since it has to be built as designed.

Just because they can also be used in non-structural uses doesn’t negate their structural use dude.

Yes the link that refers to SAWMILLS as a whole, where there can be millers who use the tools you linked, and sawyers who would use the tools used in the other links.

Who’s being dishonest? You’re claiming you work in a field you’ve shown zero actual education in.

Drywall is structural, when used on block walls it helps provide lateral support.

This is why being pedantic usually backfires.

Drywall is inherently structural.

Regardless. It’s furring strips, you want to argue furring strips aren’t used in structural applications? They are used in all three applications the person said they haven’t used them in. They also claimed to be a wood wroker elsewhere, so I don’t see how they would use anything structural anyways….

Follow those wiki links, they all use hand tools, to use it to refer to one who operates machined mills instead of manual in a sawmill would be incorrect since there is already a term.

A miller operates a machined sawmill.

Furring strips are used in plenty of places, I provide one example where it is used in most residential homes to support drywall.

Is it not structural if it’s holding ceiling drywall…? So why are people still bickering that walls aren’t structural when they still hold drywall up…?

If it’s part of a code wall detail, would that not be structural…?

What’s with the pedantism over something like this to try and save face over not knowing what a furring strip is?

A sawyer is an occupational term for a person who operates a sawmill.

Okay I just wanted to make sure you were talking out of your ass. Your mill and miller uses hand tools? Because that’s what a sawyer is dude…

Give it up. Yes a 2x10 can move 1/2 while drying, if you used them, you would know and understand this.

That was one example, you can also strap roofs to install sheet metal cladding. Is that not structural? Strap a ceiling? There’s a ceiling use for you.

I figured if I gave you a real world example you could do a little research of your own. Even googling 2x2 will get you a big box store furring strip page. You should know what furring strips are if you are in the industry.

Used for furring strips everywhere. Line a block wall with them and sheet it for example.

9-3/8 is spec, the hell you talking about?

You are just off on the amount that the wood can shrink from being rough sawn at 2” to final delivery. If one board came from a mill on a humid area, it would shrink less before milling meaning it will shrink more onsite, if the board comes from an arid region, it’s already shrunk lots before being milled. So won’t continue to shrink more.

This is the reason why you can’t predict the milled measurements and they use nominal sizes…. Not to mention the group is SPF, so it can be multiple species that shrink differently.

The difference between just basic book knowledge and actually using the material for a living mate.

Also, the hell is a sawyer? Wood comes from mills.

You aren’t serious are you…?

Exaggeration

Realistic answer

Boards can shrink and grow due to moisture.
