They only have 5" x 8" plates around Here so you wind up 3 1/2 " above the sole plate. My question is I thought this was only for DVW pipes and you could still use the small 1 1/2 x...

I think that would be for a sink or narrow vanity. I'm planning to put 48" vanity between two walls. It seems there would be a min from...

    load bearing

    If you run an interior wall perpendicular to the ceiling joists on a roof system that is designed for a clear span wouldnt that be a non-bearing wall even though the ceiling joist are resting on it. I used 2x6 rafters and 2x8 ceiling joists which the inspector passed for the 18 ft span, on one...
