[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4249724, member: 5412"] I ran on to the old 2X4 vs new lumber dimension years ago when trying to install an exhaust fan into a 40's built home. The fan was designed to drop between the ceiling joists get a couple screws to hold it in place and run the electric. Easy job right? Nope. The full dimension lumber was about 1/2" too thick. Not having a fancy planer, had to rely on an old school hammer and chisel to whittle away enough wood to drop the fan into place. [/QUOTE]
