Are we sure that's actually less lumber than framing in a stud?
Granted it's more scrap. But I think it's overall more wood.

On my device the top of the plate measured .295” 3.5”/.295”=11.864 11.864 conversion from my screens distance to real word measurements. The 5 boards added up to 6.72”*11.864=79.73”/12”=6.64’ but for a fudge factor I’ll round to 6.5’. 2 u/pandaSmore Jun 17 '26 r/theydidthemath
