I just saw a new house framing photo and ALL the studs were pieced together with short board’s spliced together.
It’s been 25 years since I was working in wood frame construction, but I’ve never seen anything like this. There were a few times when I saw carpenters cutting an in-place stud to straighten it, but I don't know what to think about this.
Is this an isolated thing or is this what happening these days. I imagine it would help in assuring straight studs and with the glue today it might be just as strong, but how does it affect the cost?
