Sometimes you don’t have space for full 1.5” blocking because wires are running exactly where you need to build. ⚡️😅
When that happens, we adapt. 🧩

In tight conditions like this, we use 3/4” subfloor with pocket holes to get a clean, flush fit without disturbing existing electrical. 🔨📐

But wire protection is still a must — always.
So we add a metal protection plate behind the blocking to keep the drywall from bulging and the wires safe. 🛡️⚙️

Little details → Better outcomes.
That’s the difference between “good enough” and done right. 👌🏽🏠
