Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

The motorcyclist is still wanted and has not yet been apprehended.

This made me say WFT, and caused me to become upset. I just don't believe how stupid some people can be.

 

Did you not see where I already posted that?

 

The nominal dimension back in the 80's was 3-5/8 × 1-5/8, specifically so that adding 3/8 drywall would yield a whole inch dimension.
Since when did it drop to 3-1/2 x 1-1/2?
I guess that I'll have to take a tape measure when I buy lumber.
It was bad enough when I had to rip oversize to match rough cut.

 

Or when they find out that pipes use the ID as their measurement, and tubing uses the OD.

OH THE HUMANITY!!

 

They were still burning on my afternoon break.

 

Ok, that really makes one say WTF

 

Interesting. I don't remember it ever being more than 3.5x1.5? My home was built around 1980, I'll check one of the exposed studs tonight.

Also, where do you use 3/8" drywall? It's 1/2" in my home.

 

Yeah, they're literally right next to all of these.

Right, Sch 80 vs Sch 40 vs Sch 10, etc.

 

What could go wrong?

 

I've never seen 3/8" drywall used. We either used 5/8 or 1/2.

Question was where it's used, not where it's found.

 

Following up -- just checked and studs in my 1981 build home are 3.5 x 1.5 -- they are definitely not 3-5/8 x 1-5/8

Edit: looks like the standard dropped to 3-1/2 x 1-1/2 in 1970

I don't know about 3/8".

When I was in the construction industry we would us 1/4" Sheetrock on office renos with cheap clients. Used it a lot to cover up outdated office building entranceses where the client didn't want to pay for demo. We would slap on liquid nail and cover up old wood panels, marble, and granite.

 

I have a couple stores here in Philly that have 1/4" Sheetrock in stock for this reason.

 

obviously not

 

Saw this today. Not sure if it is WTF or awesomeness.
