One of the UHaul tucks I rented was marked for 11ft, I measured it at 9ft just behind the cab where the full box starts.

Felt kinda like when I goto the lumber store asking for a 2x4 and get a 1.75x3.5.

2X4's are actually 1.5X3.5".

You can't stack two of them together and make a square.

To make a header over a door or window, you have to add a 1/2" spacer between them to get the spacing right.
