That is more-space-on, not moron, studs.

When I build the wall between the finished room and the shop area, if you 
remember, I am off-setting the studs so that the two wall surfaces are not 
tied together except at the header and footer.

I was just wondering if there is any reason why I shouldn't turn the studs 
90 degrees.  That would give a wider surface to mount the wall cladding 
to, and I  would think that the structural rigidity will mainly come from 
the footer and header connection, not so much from the studs.

This would also make it easier to install insulation because the 
interlaced studs wouldn't overlap as much.

Just checking sanity here.

Thanks.
