What are you paying for finger jointed 2x4x10? We age getting ready to finish off a 1200SQ.Ft basement and are looking into options for studs (metal, finger jointed and the junk they call SPF)
Thanks

Can't quote you the costs, but you'll cut your labor down significantly (30%??), by going with light-guage metal.
Been using them in basement renovations for years and have yet to discover a down-side. Doesn't mean there isn't one--just means I haven't found it yet.
Good luck
