Kevin O'Connor arrives at the house and takes a walk through the new addition. Upstairs he finds the apprentices, Bailey, Austin and Nathan learning how to frame an interior wall in the master bedroom suite with Norm Abram. They measure for the top and bottom plates. Then they cut and nail in the studs to the plates. Finally, they stand up the wall and tack it in place.

Great book for a beginner . ru-vid.comUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.

Kinda sad seeing Austin Wilson in this segment. He died way too young, way before he could ever put skills he was learning into a career. ☹ Edit: In case you didn't know, he was in Orlando for This Old House at the International Builder's Show when he passed away in his sleep from a pre-existing medical condition. He was only 18.

Adding the apprentice dynamic to the show added new life to the format. Continued success to Bailey and Nathan, who has now joined the show full-time, on their construction trade journeys.

@HaakSO 4 года назад

Thank you This Old House. I like the smooth approach used here. But if someone is adding a wall to an old house, beware! Old houses rarely have the uniform height between floor and ceiling as this new construction has. In my experience, each stud will need to be a few fractions of an inch longer or shorter than the stud next to it. Anyone working on an old house may be better off attaching the top and bottom sill to the ceiling and floor, then measure and fill in the framing in between.

@MemoGrafix 4 года назад

Right. My house is 100 this year. Me & My Son has framed a wall to build a music studio in the attic and We certainly did find uneven sections. Had to do the exact way You state.

What about the parts wire the wall is too big to fit?

@greglawrence742 3 года назад

You would use shortest measurement as your constant length. Shim the rest.

@Fakken28 Год назад

Measure every single stud in between? Sounds very time consuming. Shim top or bottom sill accordingly to make square level and uniform. Then cut all studs in between the same size using the jig method shown here. Save lots of time especially if putting up more than one wall

@napoleonsmith7793 4 года назад

a better way to check wood straightness is to keep it on the pile of lumber and turn over one side at a time. this way you check trueness against the stack which is fairly straight. much easier to see the bow or hump against a straight board while lying on the board. nice tip with the template norm. thanks.

@TheMixmastamike1000 4 года назад

no mention of crowning the boards?

@stevenfoust3782 4 года назад

TheMixmastamike1000 - Norm said only use straight boards. Apparently they are not using home center lumber.

@stevenfoust3782 4 года назад

Bob Hoffman - home centers are all about buying lumber low and selling high. Naturally the suppliers who want to sell to them send their lesser quality stuff. The “real” lumber yards where I live sell high quality straight lumber at a lower price. The only advantage of a home center is one stop shopping which you definitely pay more for.

I frequent a local lake with a walking trail and they're building townhouses across the road from the lake. I watched the ongoing construction and they had 2 roofs framed. All their 2x material looked bowed and warped so badly I dont know how they got it sheeted. It looked horrible. It makes me appreciate my 70 year old house with 2x6 rafters that are still straight and solid

@pierreroy8124 4 года назад

Interested in knowing why they chose to frame an interior partition wall in 2x6. Not for additional insulation. Surely there’s a valid reason.

@feralbigdog 4 года назад

i do this stuff on paper just for fun, ive gone with 2x6 interior if im doing a weight bearing wall, especially if ceiling joists are butting together over them instead of a 2x4, i want that extra strength, it could also be for a wall where some wider pipe might go through i think

@@georgelfc1 what you could do is take whatever dimensional size lumber you're using as a stud and caught it to the overall exact height of what the finished wall will be and then lay it down and practice lifting it as though it is the wall and you will see if it will fit or not. Then trim a little off if you need to until you get the right height and then you will know your total height you will need. Or you can cut it plenty short and lifted into place and use shims between the bottom of the ceiling joist or strapping and the top plate of the wall.
