If you are framing the exterior walls then check out our how to insulate video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KGjO1wddX7A.html

@seanmcguire7974 5 лет назад

Should you wait to put in the sub floor till after the drywall is hung? Or can you do it after the framing?

@ahmadal-rubayee6085 5 лет назад

do it before the framing this way you will install the subfloor faster and you can anchor your walls on the subfloor instead of the concrete.@@seanmcguire7974

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

for best results do the subfloor first. Cheers!

@marvelpovs2412 3 года назад

Bless you Jeff! I’m trying to redo my basement and none of the men in my family know what the hell to do or they make it super complicated. So I’ve taken it upon myself a small 22yr old woman, to do it by myself. And this video helped so much! I have the meta beams and that’s what had my stumped and anchoring the wood to the concrete

@JustinRinehart 4 года назад

watching that "perfectly cut" stud slide in was surprisingly satisfying! It's kind of like finally taking that center bite on a buttered piece of toast. Of course, now all my cuts will be measured against this video which will no doubt result in frustration, self-deprecation, and depression....so, thanks for that.

@kodguerrero 4 года назад

This is awesome, I'm framing a really low basement and couldn't figure how to build a thin bulkhead covering both the heat/return vents. I can just hang a plywood with a 2x2 attached top and bottom and it gives me great support over a wide space

@playful1510 5 лет назад

Hey man, I just wanted you to know that I just finished up a project today, and your videos were really helpful with giving me the idea. Had a cabinet in the garage that was separating from it's back on one end because it was bent around an exposed gas line on the other. Wound up taking it off the wall and fixed the separated back with screws and wood glue. While that dried, I got some 2x4s and screwed them to the studs as verts/spacers, with a long 2x4 'header'. Got the cabinets screwed to the spacers and it's nice and secure now, the doors actually close now, and it doesn't look like it's about to fall off the wall! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

@puppet022 5 лет назад

Jeff - this video has a ton of really useful information. Thank you! I'm about to build soffits for a kitchen remodel and will definitely use your system for creating the box instead of the "ladder" approach that I was going to do. Also, it's really impressive how quickly you can do the math in your head adding the fractions for multiple pieces of a joint where pieces meet. But... when I listen to you, I'm always trying to imagine what parts the measurements represent and by the time I can form a mental picture you are two sentences beyond me. This would be a great place for Max to insert graphics showing the dimensions of the pieces you are attaching to each other. W + X + Y + Z equals 5 3/8 and I can see what you're saying as you're saying it! Thanks for all the great work you do - Cheers!

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

Cheers Bill. That soffit trick as a life saver for small boxes.

I randomly watched this video and was hooked 30 seconds in - lots of great information shared at a quick cadence and a good sense of humor. I really appreciate the pride Jeff puts into a well constructed project for the long run - not just throwing up some dimensional lumber, very good understanding of the characteristics of the material he's using and thinking ahead for all the trades that depend on a thoughtful framer to set them up for success.

A lot of shows i've seen, especially the ones where they come back the next day and all is complete meant an army of trades working through the day and night and supposed budget was blown out of the window.

One of the better videos for renos I have seen. Lots of small little nuggets in this. I dont ussually build, working as a fire fighter am ussually tearing stuff out, mostly in newer construction. If everybody built like this, it would be alot more work for me!! Some of the sad, shortcut framming I see is unreal. Nothing like trying to do some overhaul (post fire removal of walls and materials to remove and prevent regrowth of a fire before we leave) and pretty much pulling entire wall down when trying to simply pull a few studs!!!. Quality builds matter. Great insight!!! I am bookmarking this (and many of your other vids) for a comming DIY basement reno for my home theater. Keep the content coming!!! One of the most valuable channels out there as a DIYer to get some insight. I grew up in Ottawa, now live in the US. Its funny to hear all the small references to my old home town!!!. Oh.. and metric vs imperial.... head against wall... can we as a world just pick one lol.

@kamranayub 3 года назад

Just a note for anyone else researching like I am. These nails Jeff is using in the nailer are Tomahawk 3 1/4" collated clipped head nails. However, their diameter is only 0.120, based on what I can find. In Minnesota, in order to do end-nailing as shown in the video, you must use 0.162" diameter framing nails and they have to be 3 1/2" long. Basically impossible to find for a nail gun. Instead, what I have found is 3x0.131" collated clipped head framing nails but MN requires 3 of them instead of only 2 when end-nailing. These are easier to buy at home centers and they are in most common degrees. MN allows some other combinations of length/diameter fasteners too but 0.131" is common in the code for framing it seems to work in majority of cases. As always, a reminder to make sure to check your building codes for specifics on what fasteners are allowed when framing and don't just go with what people are doing in the videos.

@ross5506 5 лет назад

Also Canadian are metric also,but I was in high school 1980 when we converted to metric from imperial. Great video again

@HomeRenoVisionDIY 5 лет назад

Hi Ross, we still use imperial in building since the trade with the us is so intense. On another question you had! the floor squeaks when the subfloor moves up and down the shaft of the nail. In all new builds they use nails instead of screws to attach the subfloor. That is what guarantees squeaking. There is nothing wrong with the structure or yourself, just the wrong fasteners are used. To correct this you need to screw down the joints and follow the nails to identify where the joists are and add screws as well. 1 screw for every 12 inches of joist. no need to fill in the extra space. You will be fine at that point . Just to help clarify...the wood does not squeak. just the action of wood passing over a nail as it is deflecting. Cheers, would love to hear how it goes!

@taran1986007 4 года назад

@t3jem 5 лет назад

You should make a comment about floating walls when framing the walls too. Some states require floating walls (i.e. Colorado) that require a couple inches between the bottom plate of the framed wall and a second bottom plate on the concrete. This is due to heaving in the slab that often happens in CO basements. Thanks for all your instructional videos though! Super helpful and I've learned a lot. Looking forward to finishing my basement myself in a couple years!

Hey Jeff! Thanks for the great video. Tackling out basement framing over the next couple days - I have a question about existing framing. Our house is 1965 in Edmonton and we completely gutted the basement to add a secondary suite. The walls around the foundation already have framing and we’ve left those intact as they are in decent shape. However, the bottom pieces aren’t pressure treated. There doesn’t seems to be any rot or anything yet (and they are original), but I’m wondering if we should replace that framing or at least the bottom piece? Moving forward all our new walls will have pressure treated on the bottom. Thanks for the tips and great videos!

No worries chris, we are from Canada so we get a slower start due to our population. We are hitting a groove now and very happy with the channels growth. Cheers!
