Are the studs 16 inches o.c. ? They look more like 24 o.c. Do you have a code where you're at?

Are you required to put cripple studs to hold up your door and window headers?

That explains it….

You should have put it onn skids, then you could’ve hooked up the jeep and pulled it off the “foundation “ and towed it to deer camp.

Odds and ends this afternoon.I got home from work.Visited my mother.Then odds and ends day at home.Moved the dryer vent and outside spicket to end of my house.Then took out a window that will be added later to the end of the house as well.Start framing the last wall tomorrow morning.Got to visit a grandson in Houlton at 10:00 am before heading back home and finish getting the wall framed up.
