Ahh.....never heard that before since we don't have anyone here in Maine that has any type of authority. :laughing:Authority having Jurisdiction.
I missed that good catch.I use the ladders 16" OC all the time - 3 stud corner for insulation / drywall installation - I don't buy into using those corner clips (not sure if the 2 stud corner would pass anyways)
Thats good, I like that. We use regular insulation before we sheath. I'll be suggesting that to builders.I like to rip down 2 inch foam to 3 1/2 inches and insert it into partitions prior to sheathing the wall
Sorry Strat but I patented it. You will have to send me 20 bucks every time you use it on a house.Thats good, I like that. We use regular insulation before we sheath. I'll be suggesting that to builders.
No problem. You might have to wait a while though. Still have'nt framed a house this year (unbelievable). 5 bucks for an addition cool ? :laughing:Sorry Strat but I patented it. You will have to send me 20 bucks every time you use it on a house.
They sometimes use 4-2x6's on the outside corner around here. They say for nailing the corner boards on. Rigid insulation inside.I like to rip down 2 inch foam to 3 1/2 inches and insert it into partitions prior to sheathing the wall
Sometimes we put fg insulation in those annoying joist spaces that nobody can get to later. Other than that I agree with you.They sometimes use 4-2x6's on the outside corner around here. They say for nailing the corner boards on. Rigid insulation inside.
I don't know how many homes I received a roll of fiberglass with my first load. The builder says "it's for insulating dead corners" and my response is "you know once it gets wet, it smells like cat piss right?" Then I suggest and get the rigid. I don't ever use fiberglass.
I frame the way builders want it done of course. And it does vary on what they want. 4-2x6's in the corners, not much r-value there. Down in Miss. after katrina some wanted solid 4- 2x6's corners also. Myself I would rather have the r-value of an L (california corner). Properly sheared and strapped (Miss. code) I would think a cal. corner would be sufficient. 180 mph. winds, are those two extra studs really gonna make a difference?They sometimes use 4-2x6's on the outside corner around here.

c corners on corners insulated later
L corners on int pockets insulated later
On almost every house I do there is a spot that needs insulation during framing
There are some proponents of this, and I am not necessarily one. I am just here to ask about code permissiblity.
Two-stud corners permit better insulation. Use Simpson's clip for handling the sheetrock fastening.
Where interior walls tee to exterior, flatwise 2x4s on 24 centers permit better insulation.
Here is the question. Would either or these or both be allowed by your local AHJ?
