It was the sandpaper part that sounded funny to me. Speaking of framing, you know that aisle of 2x4x8s you walk past at home despot? They are not all 96 inches

Speaking of framing, you know that aisle of 2x4x8s you walk past at home despot? They are not all 96 inches long. If you look close some are labeled "framing studs." They are precut to 92 5/8 precisely so that you don't need to cut down every stud when you are framing a wall.
