Thanx for checking in Bert. Sure does sound like we have some terminology differences in framing construction. There are alot of similarities, but I am surprised by all the differences. Kinda like the big weather differences in Kitchener Waterloo, Canada as compared to here in San Antonio. Of course another big difference is foundations. We have mostly slab foundations in San Antonio while you have basements in Mid western Ontario. I was surprised to find out from you on the Home Inspector Pro Message Board that ya'll actually insulate the basements and also heat the basements.
