Structurally, you can equal the 3/4 this way.
Solid wall requires a little more planning with the wires, since you have to run through your roof spars and under-floor, but a ton of guys have done it here.
That's what I plan to do. See my earlier post.
Ooops. It's a bitch getting old.
Not really. I had a brain fart as well. I just purchased my wood and took it home and read your post. I'm now thinking why didn't I get a 1/2 4x10 and glue the birch to that instead of overlapping 4x8's. Guess it doesn't matter, it should work out the same. Just one extra small piece to glue up. The 4x8's are probably a bit cheaper though.
