   *I sheath the roof and house and put the "decking" on the joists. But no one really gives a crap as long as it gets done. . .

   *Deck all walking surfaces, sheathe walls and roofs. Ohio....and we call them jacks cause they support the headers. Cripples hold up sills, and over top of headers. Thus my framing hyrogliphics X=full lenghth stud, J=jack, C= cripple, B=block(corners and wall intersections) scribble out= better ask me cause I f-ed up the layout.

   *In western Montana:Walking surfaces get decked.Vertical surfaces get sheathed or sheeted.Roofs can go either way.

   *I sheet everything. You got the scribble right, I only use an x if a stud has to be perfect,like a king or an end stud, your average wall stud just gets a slash. Supposedly this helps rookies put in less crowned and twisted king and end studs.

   *I "sheet" everything in Alberta Ca-na-duh. Cripples go under headers (or lintels), but we all secretly know they're supposed to be called trimmers. Jacks go on the roof. The ends of walls get California-L's, and I would really like to meet the Californian who named them.

   *Me too... I still call those "stick frames" between the gable trusses and a perpendicular gable "california fills" . Who is this "California" guy, and why does he get everything named after him back East?

   *Ken,A few miles North in Dallas, we deck roofs and floors like you do.I guess "sheathing" is verticle, like on the walls.I've never heard decking called sheathing. But I guess that's just where we are from.Anybody got a dictionary definition handy?Ed.

    *Ken: I would like to "deck" someone, but that would not be PC. ha

    *Stan,I know what you mean. There's been a few occassions in the past that I would have liked to "deck" in here also. But then I figured, Oh "sheet", it ain't worth it.
