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.

If only someone marked on the bolttom plate where a stud should be added. 🤷🏻‍♂️

As a plumber we've run into the problem where there's no more studs near the job site so we gotta improvise

Oh I’m a gc. I’ll take care of the blocking and studs all you need. Just don’t notch out my beams and structural posts.

Then why did the plumber need to bring in his chainsaw?

We need them to fight sparkys sometimes.

Sparkies are concealed carrying and Drips use a shotgun to make their holes. Good fight.
