If you want to help support Shannon to produce more videos like this, visit www.house-impr... Shannon from www.house-impr... shows you how to plan and create a wood stud wall used in framing a building.
Literally just built a 24 square garage using Shannon’s videos. Had the building inspector ask me who built it as the quality was of professional grade. Take every piece of advice Shannon gives, it’s worth it to take the time.
Who the heck is hitting dislike on these videos? The guy speaks english with good audio and video quality, and isn't using a tripod for 30 feet away. How do you dislike this? It's one of the best sets of home improvement videos on youtube, even if you use a different method than what is shown.
1:54. So many foremen and journeymen over complicate. They won't teach you the most efficient way because they don't want you to then do the job better. They don't want people after their job. Residential construction is usually straight forward, and shouldn't be that hard to teach. You're working with wood too, so it's not like you're drilling into metal studs with tech screws. And wood is easier to saw.
As others have said, THANK YOU for not muddling up your video with annoying background music! I love your instructional videos and have turned to them many times!
The amount of information you have in the video is amazing. Im so glad you included the impact type screw driver because a lot of people don't realize the difference. Great job!
I like your accent. I have spoken twice in Canada at technical conferences for elevator inspectors. You are a kind people, generally. Thank you so much for your video. Very detailed.
Shannon is an EXCELLENT "teacher", easy to listen to....not trying to promote his knowledge for selfs sake, but pass on his knowledge to help all who come to any of his sites......thank you Shannon.......
Real nice! Never knew about the crown direction. I have been doing framing as an amateur for years. A few sheds here and there. Big and small. Even an addition to my house. Never too old to learn. Thanks. Great video.
Thanks guys feel lil smarter that i knew that, but really feel slow where something possibly flew over my head. He mentions that, to get the stud height(to be able to cut all studs one time ) you measure the height of the wall then add the thicknes of 3 plates (1 1/2 x 3 = 4/12 inches) and subract that amount from the measured height, to get stud height. This confused me, because if the stud fits between 2 plates why are we subtracting 3. So in my mind its like this, if i have a wall i measured 100 inches, i am making a frame to fit that,frame height is 100 inches also, now i subtract 4.5 inches from 100 = 95.5.. wouldnt that make the studs too short? . If the stud is to fit between top and bottm plate, shouldnt i be subtracting 1.5(top) +1.5(bottom plate) =3inch for a stud tight fit? .... i dont know if anyobdy follows what im trying to say. thinking i missed something,but keep replaying and still dont see it
I watch other videos and I like yours ,because you showing very clear and you do not rushing ,I travel to old country and give your knowledge to my brother because he always building something and when I show him how you doing , he always asking me :Janko from where you know that and make video here and show him how you do , but I must translate for him to our language , thanks
Forget that man. You should build yourself a little online portfolio & sell access to them as individual courses based on categories. Or access to everything as a single course. Sell access at one time payment. Or a subscription. Find yourself someone to help you with that man. Cause you definitely got something going for yourself here. You got the most straight forward & some of the most helpful videos here in RU-vid
Hey Robert! Will not have a video on that but I would "stick frame" it in place. So attach the bottom plate to the floor and top plate to the ceiling. Measure and cut each stud to fit and nail them each in place as you go.
Shannon you and your camera person make excellent , informative step by step videos, I have learnt a lot from you over the years, keep up the good work , from texas
Just found these videos.Just started building a 10 x 20 shed.Very well done vids.Easy to understand instructions,in plain - but not dumbing - language.Thanks a lot
Your instructional methods are the best I've seen on RU-vid. I am learning not only the how-to's, but the don't-do's and the shortcuts that I've never found in books on basic framing. You rock, Sir. Keep'em coming!
When you are doing the wall lay out, just a tip. You can always nail those 2 2x4’s together flush. Then go 15 1/4 and put a duplex or regular sinker, then attach the tape to that nail. Then go every 16 inches from there.
Sir I appreciate that you take the time to make this very helpful videos. I followed your instructions and I did my first wall frame ever. I have no experience in construction but I'm looking forward to the challenge of finishing the whole project ,, an 8 by 10 loundry room. Also it is a project that I'm taking advantage to work on it with my boys ,,, bonding and learning with them,,,,, tnxs again
I'm soon going to build a tiny house and want it to be done right. So i wanted to thank you for your time to make this video. It's going to help me a lot!
Yes, agree. One of the better "How To" videos I've seen. Really nice job Shannon. Love the level of detail - and that you communicated that detail so clearly.
We are adding a room to our house and I am so glad that I found your videos/channel. Your manner of explaining is very easy to follow and very clear instructions. Thank you for posting and helping those of us who are learning to DYI.
Once I finally saw the layout I noticed why you placed the line 3/4" left, because a 2x4 is actually 1.5" wide and half of 1.5" is 3/4"... dang, it really is true some of us are visual learners.
As always, a great video intended to help others understand what the video is intended for. I wish I had your experience. I am a retired military officer turned DIYer for wood working. I am planning my shop. Boy do I need a lot of big tools and of course a lot of space.
Spot on! This is exactly what I needed and the way the instructions were explained made this easy to follow. The information regarding spacing marking and crown explanation was EXTREMELY handy.
Dude, I've been looking all over and finally found 100% of what I was looking for in framing. Every other video assumed I already knew the steps for corners, top plates, etc. I didn't, but I do now. Thanks!
+GoonSquadSL In this case we did not because this wall was only temporary for this video demo. You can see my video on attaching wood to concrete for info on how to do that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-evo3IWwEt-g.html
thanks for these videos...I live in alaska and had to build my small home in my land by myself bc that's what alaskans do..."do it yourself"..lol..o yea and i had zero experience in building anything bc I lived Los Angeles all my life then moved... these videos have helped alot ..and saved me a ton of money...
@houseimprovements Shannon. Thanks for your help. I feel well educated and ready for this step except for the following questions. @13:40, you showed us the 3" deck screws and how it goes through the 2x4 into the stud. Are you using the same size screw to attach the double top plate? If you secure the double top plate with 2 screws at the stud, will it hit the 1st fasteners?
You don't need to be directly on the stud when attaching the double top plate as the studs are already connected to the top plate. Just roughly adjacent to each stud is fine
I think the idea to screw above the stud is because if you put them in between the studs, then the electrician when make a hole through the two top plates may hit the nails with the drill bit.
@@DESIGNPEPOThose poor electricians will hit rogue nails every time with their auger bits. Lots of swearing and probably three more holes in your top plate till they find pure wood.
If you are not getting paid, you should be!!! I have cut out a wall and put in a window by using your video; I've made other home renovations via your training. Whenever I want to attempt a home project I look for your videos. Your instructions are so clear and easy to understand. I have saved thousands of dollars from labor cost by DIY. Awesome; Thank You!!!
Anytime I'm searching for construction tips/techniques and a HouseImprovements video pops up, it's the first video I click on. Sound and picture quality are always top notch, and Shannon delivers every time, covering every possible detail in a way that makes every do-it-yourselfer feel comfortable behind his/her hammer, saw, etc. Thanks again. Came to this video for tips on my chicken coop walls and now I'm ready to build.
Always learn much from this guy. Doesn’t just say what he’s doing but why and or why not. And all miscellaneous tips as well for first timer novice DIY selfers. Definitely a good teach. Thanx for the vids and did subscribe 👍🏾
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I have been watching many videos trying to understand about this 16 on center of basic framing. You explain so well that I was able to understand it. Again thank you.
A brilliant tutorial, your method of explanation made it all crystal clear to me. I was surprised at how much I learned. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Always love checking out your vids whether I'm putting up a door or putting up a wall your vids are by far the best to show any DIYer how to get projects done
Thanks for the detailed instruction. I plan to build a smaller version of wall and install over an existing wall. The owners of the house I rent does not allow mounting TV to existing walls. Again, thanks. Best wall framing video by far.
I seldom rate these vids, and mostly acute criticism when I do. This vid cleared up several issues. It was the first of this gentleman's I'd watched but won't be the last. Kudos to Shannon for teaching an old dawg some new tricks.
I learned a bit of this in building trades at school but 15y later couldn't remember everything, now making a few kitty houses for the winter but didn't want to slap something together that I would have to rebuild next season. Thanks
Thanks for posting this video. I just bought some land in the middle of nowhere and want to build a small cabin. I'm a novice at best - this is really going to help. Thanks for explaining everything so clearly!
Shannon - you have created a GREAT series on framing. I am using your videos to build a large shed style chicken coop (or as we call it here a chicken palace) and if I'm going to do it it will be done right. I really appreciate all of the time and effort you've put into these videos. Very clear presentation with lots of detail for beginners. I feel like I'm sitting in a classroom but cutting out all of the useless stuff. Thank you!!! - Chris in N. Arkansas
Thanks Shannon. Great video! Straight forward, professionally done with no silly music!! Voice is easily heard and well paced-should be a teacher. I may not be able to do all this but at least I know if my contractor is on the right track.Best I've seen so far!!
Shannon, keep up the great vids. I'm a new home owner and learning a lot from you. I like the shed project too. Do more projects from start to finish. Helps me understand the right order to complete projects.
Thanks for filming this video. This is very helping in the finer details of framing a wall and attaching to a corner wall as well. This will help in building a walk in closet for a room in our home. Very appreciative.
