State courts are a symptom of the problem that allowed Trump. Trump did not create these troglodytes and he has neither the attention span or ability to directly influence state governments. The disease is deeper than Trump.

Kaiju start with the Navy as they rise from the ocean, and then step on the army and breathe lightning on the air force. Their opposition is the national science foundation and the department of energy (who is also who generally wakes them up with some sort of nuclear accident).

Fetterman is great on domestic policy, but he's a shit hawk on foreign policy.

Behind the green board, behind the OSB, there is a very thick top plate that those beams are sitting on and based on what the OP said to me, that is then framed down to a sill plate also behind the OSB. Nothing on the outside of the OSB is structural and he's actually screwing those 6x6 cm boards into what's behind the OSB. They're using the OSB as a vapor barrier instead of faced insulation like we do and also protecting the studs with that vapor barrier from the interior of the house.

Edit: Truth is, what's funny about OP's wall and the response it's getting is that it's better constructed than most American buildings you could find. We don't tend to put as big a gap between the vapor barrier and the interior heated space and we don't tend to include the studs as protected by that vapor barrier. When we do we use plastic sheeting, not OSB, because that's too expensive. I'd imagine the R value on his insulation is also much higher than ours.

My suggestion is a oral administration etoh at this point, then.

Yeah, that's essentially fine. You likely can hang cabinets off of them, but I'm not a cabinet installer or a framer. I'm a nurse that used to sell building supplies. You should ask him if you need more reinforcement for your cabinets. For your drywall everything's fine.

So are the 6x6s attaching just into the plywood or are they going into something behind the plywood? Overall it sounds fine what he told you to do, but what they're attaching to and how you do what we call "blocking" to secure them is how you determine if you can hang cabinets.

Edit: Per your additional information, what you're doing is fine but I'd ask him specifically about where you want to hang cabinets because you'd need to make more consideration. They put a lot more strain than thin drywall to the fasteners that are holding them up.

Ah, we can't go that far. I'm only a registered nurse so I can't oversee providers.

Yeah, folks are having a hard time wrapping their head around how it structurally works but it obviously does since they're building housing developments with it. The picture just shows the sill plate and top plate (the two thick pieces of wood on the top and bottom of the wall behind the OSB[what we call the plywood on the inside]) with insulation sandwiched between, but there has to be lengths of wood going from those to hold them together (which we call studs). They're mistakenly thinking that your 6x6 cm pieces of wood are those studs.

All of the OSB is the inside of the already constructed wall. It's interior fascia, essentially, with insulation behind it.

The sill plate is actually behind the OSB and looks thicker than anything we use. I don't honestly know if there's studs back there too, but I'd imagine so. I really don't know how that wall is constructed.

No, I was actually translating it for the American construction folks. What you're doing is actually how we cover up plaster walls on remodels. It's just not something I've ever dealt with when I was a construction supply salesperson.

I think it just depends on how he's attaching it. If it's going into the top and sill plates behind the OSB, there's not really much of a chance of it going anywhere.

Yeah, this isn't framing per his link. That OSB is the interior of the structural wall and he's just building out with 6x6 cm (what we'd think of as 2x2 inch) to hang his (likely 1/4" equivalent) drywall and provide electrical service.

It's not hard. You can get opiates smuggled to you right through the US mail from the dark web. That's generally not how a junkie going through withdrawals will approach things though and giving them drugs to sell seems like a losing investment, lol.

I think he was just sizing me up to rob me but then quickly realized that was a very bad idea

I had a sweaty guy going into withdrawal randomly walk up to me as I was walking and ask to find him a job dealing drugs last night. Strangest interaction I've had in awhile. I was gonna ask him for his references but maybe I should've informed him about the potential for a murder charge.

What is? That he did it for the money? If it was sympathy for the Ukrainian cause, why did he reject Ukrainian protection and citizenship and go to Spain?

This dude did it for the money and made the incredibly poor choice of leaving Ukraine to spend that money in Spain while trying to get his Russian ex wife to come. Deserting is honorable in this war, but I doubt many will care about this guy.

Will Spain care I wonder?

Your move, creep.
