Are there some rules of thumb for temporary support walls to replace or install a beam in a ceiling? Clearly, I can build a temporary stud wall with lumber placed on 16" centers. However, I want to minimize the amount of lumber waste as I don't always have a need or want to transport store the lumber for a period of time. Can I increase my stud spacing? Does using post shores make a difference in spacing?
