Okay Blackfive, now call me dumb cause, What's a California corner? [&:]
Haha..You're far from a dumb-ass. Most people use 4 studs or 3 studs and blocking to build a "standard solid" corner.
A california corner is simply 2 studs, nailed together in an "L" fashion. They are quick to build and install. A slap stud on the opposite side of the corner and you've got sheet-rock & sheeting nailers on both sides.
When we frame a house- one guy builds theentireheader and corner package for thewhole job while the others go about laying plates and so on.
When you're going to have countless corners, using the "california" style saves a BOAT load of time AND studs.
Ah ha, gotcha and know exactly what your talking about. Makes sense too as these are not load bearing walls of any kind, just free floaters really.
And thanks so much for the suggestions, keep them all coming. I'm a telephone technician by trade and pretend carpenter for this project and the rest of my house.
wis bow, thanks friend.
