I got ya. Five to eight instead of 6 to eight. Nice. If you are trying to go light on construction, but don’t want to go all the way up to 24” OC, you go to the diamonds and put the 8’ sheetrock sideways.

Yep. Works for floors too, where you would NOT want to go to 24!

We're going to be building again soon, and I am totally spooked by the engineered-wood floor trusses. Are they stable? Do they work? Do they squeak?
