Your statement is true. Explosives made easy. And you get hassled for a bale of hay!The best option is to always try to fill up in town, and to carry as much fuel as the ferries will allow every trip. We have fallen behind on this recently. I like to describe it as all the different “dangerous goods food groups”. 1 Jerry of diesel, 1 gasoline, 1 20lb BBQ propane tank (largest allowed) and 5 bales of hay, tightly covered. Apparently most latex paint products are also very “dangerous” and 1 gallon max (they don’t have sniffer dogs for those and no one really pays attention to that one)!
Yet, a full Ton of nitrogen fertilizer doesn’t require any ferry paperwork etc??? So we need to be a farm, prove it, and fill out a bunch of paperwork just to purchase a literal ton of this chemical that could easily be used to make things go boom, and the ferries have no concerns transporting that, but if you have even one bale of hay they start freaking out? Any more than five square bales of Hay is only allowed to travel on the Sunday DG run and needs to be booked over a week in advance.
but 16” OC with 2xframing members divides a 4x8’sheet of plywood perfectly on the edges of the studs for framing… of course if you mess up said 16” on Centers you’re screwed, and it only gets worse every stud (see, I’m totally learning lots building this house!) and when you convert the materials to mm it makes practically no sense and doesn’t line up properly. HOWEVER in framing education given here in Canada, it’s all apparently done in metric, even though the entire industry uses imperial! 
way to keep us all on our toes
