Mike Krueger Topic Author Offline Premium Member Posts: 151 Thank you received: 0	I have to go back to pick up my radon unit so I will take a quick measure. I'm sure this is acceptable but it kind of surprised me. The 2x4s and headers must be cheaper than a beam and posts. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
