If I'm adding some wood studs to a metal stud wall to hang cabinets, does the presence of newly placed wood studs determine whether there should now be a vapour barrier? Or is it the broader picture of what's going on with that wall? (That wouldn't change.) At present (not completely opened yet) with 1.5" drywall, I see insulation, but no vapour barrier. It's the kitchen side wall to the neighbour, eventually leading to the balcony. A parallel wall by the opposite neighbour and closer to the outside of the building does have metal and wood studs and a vapour barrier. It also used to lead into small dead end closet walls, now gone. I was also thinking 2x4's. Must I go wider?

Can anyone tell me the logic here that they measure from bottom where it’s smaller then he said it was too short when she tried in up higher...but then they still installed it up there? What did I miss? It makes sense to me if you knew it to be further in between at the point of fastening then you’d use a longer board, not shorter.

@@jeadoretu The studs bow left or right being wood there not perfectly straight. Marking her blocking from the bottom will straighten out the stud and have consistent spacing between studs. ( p.s. with 16 inch on center framing the blocking is 14 1/2 inch long)( 16 minus one stud thickness or 11/2). You can also notice she is giving her measurement in 1/8 of an inch(at 2.40 time) which is common in framing and drywall. Silva knows his trade!

Depends if the finishing team is different. At my company our carpenters do everything from the initial demo, rough framing, and finish carpentry. So they would know. I’m a plumber, and so sometimes we need blocking for when we install sliding bars in showers or handhelds. Usually we just communicate with the carpenter that we need blocking and pray that they actually did. If not we just add the blocking ourselves

The only reason why the denominator might make a difference is if there is a company published tolerance code. As an engineer, we use that all the time.
