As a home improvement contractor you should know that a 2 x 4 is 3 1/2" wide, not 4" wide!

Ever get stuck in a shed though?

It was really hot that day. You need to do something about those doors. That was not funny, not funny at all. It was terrifying.

BTW, thanks for letting me out before Dukedad and 1bdz showed up.

So what? If the rule is 4", it won't matter if the spacing is less.
