What board would be flipped and how would the OP do it? How would one identify strategic locations? Maybe I'm just being dense after a boring meeting...
Sep 15, 2020 at 16:58 comment added DMoore @EdBeal - There are actually a lot of decent wide boxes at big box now for 2x3 applications - at least near me. The main issue I have is that I have a really really hard time getting good 2x3 quality near me unless I go to a lumber yard and even there I am picking out a lot of knots and curves. We still use 2x3 on outer walls in basements... why? Because I tell home owner I want to leave a gap, then they talk about not wanting to lose that inch. Its common now. Note - still will not use 2x3 in basement interior walls, you for sure notice a difference and hanging doors is a chore.
