I don't envy you having to tell a framer, or any tradesman, how to do their job.

Quoted from woody76:The problem is everyone thinks they are a damn contractor now. Any idiot can get their license now without knowing how to do crap. My brother in law is a perfect example. He does not know crap, but has a crew of mexicans that do everything. If he was forced to actually have to do the work he would be screwed.
I would never hire a contractor without a referral or recommendation from friends or someone I trusted. Social media today also makes it pretty easy to search most any contractor and see what kind of work they do.
I still find it hard to believe building inspector passed the framing shown in the pics.
Quoted from modfather:When i do framing , i always put Jack studs betwen the vertical 2x4s in the middle for rigidity. Studs at 16 inch OC. Horizontal supports at 48 inch high. Did i miss something ? Am i wrong ?
That’s usually only needed on support walls.
