  Okay then, that has nothing to do with being discussed, but you’re free to comment about electrical I guess.

    I thought we were discussing what qualifies as structural. I guess we’re just talking about whatever you feel like talking about.

      I’ve been defending my points about how certain components of structural assemblies are structural.

      You can also use a sheet of plywood in non-structural ways. No different than claiming that these furring strips and sheets of plywood aren’t structural. I can point out plenty of places where plywood isn’t structural, but that doesn’t change that it’s still used structurally.

      I think this thread is being taken over by people with zero education on this subject. What’s with all the insults for pointing out the painfully obvious? Oh that’s right, people don’t like being proven they are dumb.

        But, furring strips don’t have the integrity or quality control to be structural components. Part of why they’re so cheap is because they’re complete junk structural.

        I think might be confusing furring strips (a specific type of wood product) with anything laid against another structure (brick wall, studs, etc).
