distance between studs

[teddyb]

Hi!

Am I right in thinking that there is a 'usual' distance bewteen the studs in a stud wall. If so, what is it??

Also, what's the normal thinkness (if there is one) of a door lining and the stud against which it sits.

Thanks in anticipation ..

1/3 your board width to centres 16" or 400mm

3/4" thick x 1 5/8" wider than the studs [dependant on finnish]
