I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you’d think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

    No, that’s is not structural.

    Structural means it’s intended to support and transfer loads in a way that cannot be safely removed.

    Since neither the furring strips or drywall are part of a structural requirement, they are not load bearing.

      Drywall is structural, when used on block walls it helps provide lateral support.

      This is why being pedantic usually backfires.

      Drywall is inherently structural.

      Regardless. It’s furring strips, you want to argue furring strips aren’t used in structural applications? They are used in all three applications the person said they haven’t used them in. They also claimed to be a wood wroker elsewhere, so I don’t see how they would use anything structural anyways….
