I think he knows what he's doing, its just me that doesn't :razz:

Sorry, when I read this I thought the 2x6s were going horizontal. They are actually going vertical, so now I understand perfectly as well:biggrin:

Yes sadly my lack of knowledge of construction terms can be ineffective at times. Yhe word I was looking for at the time was "stud" but it escaped me (besides, at that time I still don't think I knew what was going on let alone what I was talking about :razz:)

BC Ferries ruined my reef meeting today, but the day wasn't all lost. Got some more progress on the fishroom!

Ok so we got the teleposts up to support the ceiling while we ripped out the guts of the load bearing wall. (my husband loves making faces for the camera)
