Thanks for the walkthrough. I am in process of getting ready to build a home. When does the blocking go in for cabinet hangs in the house (kitchen, bathrooms, etc) and for things like toilet paper mount, towel racks, curtain rods, etc? Also, I have heard that the framing system should use midspan offset blocking in each stud cavity/bay (all exterior & interior walls), because it reinforces wall structural strength, reduces stud bowing(crowning)/twisting and avoids stud vertical compression/buckling. Do you plan to use this type of blocking before insulation goes in? This type of blocking is not fire blocking, that is a separate subject.
