Charles & Hudson: What's Inside a Stud-Framed Wall

    Great graphic.
    You might want to mention that the 'jack' stud is also known as a 'trimmer' in other areas.
    Also mention that in a typical 'stud' wall that the total rough vertical dimension is 97 1/8'', having the bottom, and two top plates.
    The 97 1/8 allows for a 5/8 underlayment and or a 1/2'' drywall ceiling (or the reverse- 1/2 underlay-5/8 ceiling0 which results in a 'standard' 8' ceiling height.
