Shop talk, or during open discussion? Sure, but when you use improper (and it is improper) terms in published articles, you lose all credibility as far as I am concerned.

"Footers shall be 12 inches in the dirt unless you live where it snows a lot, then you make sure you dig down below the cold dirt." That's in the IRC somewhere.


“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
Theodore Roosevelt

I agree with you there, Jeff. Architectural Graphic Standards uses "footing". It's the standard source for terminology used by architects and engineers. The IRC, IBC, basically all formal reference sources use "footing".

Hey! What do you call the framing members in a window or doorway that butt up underneath each end of the header? You know... the "trimmer".

And then there's the rafter that rests against a hip at it's top and against a valley at it's bottom? You know... the "hip/valley cripple jack".

That would make a great rock band name. I will play bass. Nick, can you sing? Kenton on drums?
