Rant: everyone's framing rough openings 1/8 in big lately and I'm the one fixing it
Last month I hung doors in a new build outside of Tulsa and every single opening was 1/8 to 3/16 in too wide. Not one or two, all 14 of them. I asked the guy who framed it and he shrugged and said his nail gun "just shoots a little left." Back when I came up, you'd check an opening with a tape before the drywall even went up, but now it feels like framers trust the stud finder and nothing else. So I end up shimming every jamb and spending an extra hour per door on someone else's sloppy layout. Is this just how crews work in your area now, or did I get unlucky with this outfit?
