If I need to create a false wall to work from I snap a line, and screw some disposable spacers on the line. I like the way the Bullet Tools Smart Spacers work for this. Plus they're less expensive than the other non garbage spacers. Quote:“I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception." - Groucho Marx

I did some framing for a while and I remember one time I called out a measurement in sixteenths of an inch and my boss said "what's that?" "we don't use 16th!!! We only use 1/8" +/-" HA!!! That's some good quality crapsmanship there!

a lot of that trouble gets blamed on the concrete foundation.
