Default At what point do you go from "furring a wall" to "building a wall"?

Along my concrete block walls, I have 1/2" furring strips every 16", then
sheetrocks are attached to the furring strips. The furring strips make it
possible for 1/2" electrical conduits and copper pipes to run across or up
and down the walls.

In some cases I have 3/4" pipes or electrical conduits, so I go with 3/4"
furring strips.

In some cases in a shower area, I have shower valves that sticks out
further and it needs 1.5" of space. Now, I can attach 2x2 or 2x4 turned
on it's face to the concrete wall and furr it out this way. Or may be at
1.5" I might as well build a real wall butt up against the concrete wall,
with it's own top and bottom plates.

At what depth do you think it crosses the threshold form using furring
strips to a real wall?

Thanks in advance,

MC



Don't have a clue what you are doing or where.

Here if you finish a basement to code, you build stud walls and insulate
them.

I personally think it is a good rule.
