I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you’d think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

If the trusses were closer together you would use the 2x2 furring strips since it could support the weight. Since it can’t support the weight you need to use 2x4s so the picture isn’t showing 2x2 furring strips but if you aren’t a fucking moron you would realize that’s where they are used.
Buddy got caught saying something structural isn’t, so now they’re throwing shit at the wall to save face. And unfortunately down in this part of the thread is all the the fucking morons.
People in the industry would know what I was talking about, clearly it’s a bunch of people who aren’t since I apparently need to explain it in this section like people are 6 years old.
2x2 furring strips are fucking structural and are used in thousands of uses where they are structural. Yet this moron is claiming they aren’t lmfao. You guys are fucking idiots lmfao.
I dont really have a leg in this race, it does seem like throughout this thread you do showcase a lot of working knowledge.
Gotta say its confusing figuring out what the actual issue here is in coming to an understanding.
Furring strips can be any material, plywood, 2x4, 2x6.
I think people are getting stuck on the 2x2 furring strips being the only type of furring strip, which isn’t the case. You can just use 2x2s in a lot of cases, and there is a specific product called furring strips to use for furring or whatever else you want.
Some people even buy 2x4s and rip down their own furring strips of 2x2 if the span doesn’t need the 4 inches.
Good to know, thank you for sharing!
Closest I ever got to construction work like that was working for about a year as a residential painter, and sometimes would work alongside other contractors.
I really need to make woodworking/carpentry my next thing to learn about, plenty of places in my house could use the work.
