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
