Comment on 2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5

  Those aren’t furring strips in that photo. That’s dimensional lumber. In this case, those spans are large enough that they require the strength of actual lumber.

  Yes I literally just explained that in detail in the comment you responded to……

    Can I just ask for clarification?

    You: here is furring strips being used as support, with a screenshot

    Other Poster: the things you are referring to as furring strips, are actually not furring strips

    You: Thats what I said in the first post!

    Aren’t you agreeing here that you are mistaken on what a furring strip is?

      If the trusses were closer together you would wise the 2x2 furring strips since it could support the weight. Since it can’t support the weight you need to use 2x4s

      Buddy got caught saying something structural isn’t, so now they’re throwing shit at the wall to save face. And unfortunately down in this part of the thread is all the the fucking morons.

        I dont really have a leg in this race, it does seem like throughout this thread you do showcase a lot of working knowledge.

        Gotta say its confusing figuring out what the actual issue here is in coning to an understanding.
