Very informative and I love seeing women doing projects such as this. It gives me inspiration and confidence! My husband hates home improvement so I am learning to do many of these things myself so I do not have to rely on him:)
Two thumbs up! This is the only video and instructions thatI could find that showed adding support in the attic. All the other videos showed how to frame the wall, but did not show how to properly secure the top rail to the ceiling by creating the support in the 3:12 attic. I wonder how many walls are built that are only screwed into the drywall ceiling.
building a wall just like this today. This is probably a better way for me to do it opposed to building it on the floor and raising it after built. Thanks for the video! Well done!
This was the most informative and easy to understand video I have seen on wall building so far. Great job and thank you! (Women are such better communicators)
Can’t wait to start my project of separating a large basement room in a bedroom and a recreation room. I am a beginner so this was very helpful. Thank you
I LOVE!! watching ladies do work like this. I learn things PLUS women implement cleaning as you go! Personally I have so much work I have to do on my home and I can not handle messes!!
I really liked this a lot! It was easy to understood, well communicated directions, safely constructed and helped me understand how to overcome a lack of upper body strength when I build. Thank you!
This is awesome and motivated me to do it at home. My floor is laminated, so the question is, do I need to remove some of the flooring to put the bottom plate?
I like you two....good, fun interesting video projects. I did something similar several years ago. I built a non-load bearing separating wall to divide a long room into two rooms. I added a door as well as an electrical outlet and a light switch for a ceiling lamp. Ran electrical from an available junction box in the attic to the outlet, up to the wall switch, then up to the lamp. Every time I turned on the light and tried to use the outlet at the same time I would trip a circuit in my electrical box. I spent about 8 hours trying to figure out the issue and must have tripped the circuit 10-15 times....lol. So finally, I get fed up, go to bed and try again the next day. Amazing what I night of rest will do for you. I tripped the circuit breaker again but immediately realized that the circuit I was tripping was for the 220 volt dryer connection! Moved my electrical connection for wall outlet/light switch to another junction box in the attic (non-220 volt of course!) and solved the issue! Can't believe I tripped that circuit 10-15 times the day before not realizing it was for my dryer!.....LOL.
Thanks so much- glad you like our videos! Thanks for sharing about your wall. We for sure had those moments in this build- it took us forever to make sure our bottom plate was straight before we were ready to attach it in place!
I did redo our garage and created a room but raised it since it would flood on occasion but now that the flooding issue has been resolved, wish I would have placed that extra room floor level. Easy redo but great tips here when I make that floor... floor level when I get to that project.
I never came across a palm nailer b4 that was awesome and the saw to cut the wood looks like it makes that gob soo easy.. So glad i came across your vid
WOOOOW! If only I knew you too!! You are just what I need! I'm having a problem soundproofing a shared kitchen wall in my apartment because of my neighbor's bass in her music (she lives in an efficiency next to me)! My kitchen and livingroom all run together with no separation. I was just thinking that it would be nice if I could separate the kitchen from livingroom which is where I have to sleep since a rude neighbor moved in below me a year ago. Their bass/music has really destroyed my peaceful apartment and it's unfortunately happened after I retired! Just sad especially cause management really hasn't done anything to help ME. So as long as I still have to live here until I can afford to move out I need to soundproof my kitchen wall so I can sleep peacefully in my livingroom. I don't know if soundproofing a shared kitchen wall in my old apartment complex is easier to do than trying to put up a temporary wall to separate the one long room. I'm at my wit's end and I really need help. I mailed carpet remnants on my kitchen wall so far but couldn't reach up near the ceiling so the wall is 85 % covered but of course I can still hear the low frequency bass! I cannot continue living like this as-is. I'm not a quitter so I continue to research for help bec for now I have to live here in Philly until I can move! Thanks.
Hello, Good day ma'am. I would just want to ask about that thing @ 3:44 where the nails has been put and the wood just combined. Can u tell me what does it called. the plate? ty ty
I have a question for you, my husband and I are going to build walls around our basement access but I can’t find any studs in the existing wall connect my 2x4 to for the new wall to build off of. What should I do because I can’t put it anywhere else due to the steps in the floor going into the basement? Should I use anchors? And if so, do you have any to suggest?
How would you do something like this inside the home. For example, we have a formal dining and living room. The divider has a curved top. I was thinking of turning the formal living room into a room. I would want to remove it if we ever needed to sell the house.
hi! what if I want to do this in a basement, but obviously cannot go into the basement ceiling as that would mean going between floors. Does that mean I should just try and find studs in the ceiling using a stud finder? Or just not build the wall at all?
I'm a contractor and I can't seem to find those stud plates and I would very much like to use them is there a link because I can't find them in any home Depot where I'm from
Great work. Thanks for the help! I'm trying to build a wall to partition a laundry room but its in the basement, any advice on how to secure it above??
You mention several times that you use 2 2x4's at top, "so that the studs will fit securely". But can you clarify why 2 are needed to make it snug? Surely it could be snug if you only have 1, as long as you measure correctly? (i'm only half way thru video, so maybe you explain later)
Hi Andy, the 2x4's we used for the studs are 8' tall and our floor to ceiling is taller than that. We used the two for our top plate so we didn't have to buy longer 2x4 and cut them all down. -steph
Great Video! Quick question: My local lumber supplier's stock always seems to range from moderately bowed, crooked, &/or twisted, to severely bowed, crooked, and twisted. You can find one or two pretty good pieces but for a project like this would definitely have to deal with some of the aforementioned. Is that ok? Is there anyway to deal with this? It seems like the horizontal pieces would definitely be forced to straight if you're nailing into concrete/clamping along the way, but not sure about the vertical pieces
It can be a challenge to find. We spend a lot of time looking through lumber to get the best ones we can find. I think we did have a few twisted piece in this project, and were were able to force them into place. But we have found the more time we spend looking for the best lumber in the store, the less headache we have when building. -Steph
The plywood on one side of the wall? That is very thin (not sure the size) it's in the flooring section of home depot as it's used as underlayment for flooring.
Very informative and I love seeing women doing projects such as this. It gives me inspiration and confidence! My husband hates home improvement so I am learning to do many of these things myself so I do not have to rely on him:)
You can do it!
finally, a video that shows EVERY step without all the unnecessary words that start to get confusing
Two thumbs up! This is the only video and instructions thatI could find that showed adding support in the attic. All the other videos showed how to frame the wall, but did not show how to properly secure the top rail to the ceiling by creating the support in the 3:12 attic.

I love watching you ladies build and fix things.
Great Job.Thumbs up.

You're welcome! Good luck with the build!
This was the most informative and easy to understand video I have seen on wall building so far. Great job and thank you! (Women are such better communicators)
Thanks Donald!
Totally agree! Thanks to mom and daughter for such an informative and well-planned video!
I thinks its beautiful to see a mother and daughter team doing things like this... 🙂💗
Can’t wait to start my project of separating a large basement room in a bedroom and a recreation room. I am a beginner so this was very helpful. Thank you
Same here..scared to start
Got the same plan here!
What a wonderful job mother and daughter! God bless you both. Keep Inspiring the world with your good knowledge and ideas.
This video just gave me a solution to a project I am currently working on. Those plates will be the answer! Thanks and good work!
Awesome!! Good luck with the project!
Thank you for the video! It's great to see other women doing the things I want to do.
What an awesome video! Super easy to understand & follow. I wish all building videos were as direct and informative as yours.
I LOVE!! watching ladies do work like this. I learn things PLUS women implement cleaning as you go! Personally I have so much work I have to do on my home and I can not handle messes!!
we cannot compete with the girls. Thorough , tidy and admitting to mistakes ! Thanks
I really liked this a lot! It was easy to understood, well communicated directions, safely constructed and helped me understand how to overcome a lack of upper body strength when I build. Thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the comment!
3:00 The Boss :D
(yes! we all love your work and skills easy to learn thanks to You Both)
Come over I need lots of work done and a wall lol. Great work Ladies!

Cool 😎
"What did one wall say to the other?"
"I'll meet you at the corner."
hey i have laminate wood floors.. can i just make a parition wall on top of this or should i cut the floor up first where i want the wall to go? :)
I've got the same question lol
Go on top of the floor 🤙
on top 👍
Great video. And I appreciated you naming the tools as you were using them.
I did redo our garage and created a room but raised it since it would flood on occasion but now that the flooding issue has been resolved, wish I would have placed that extra room floor level. Easy redo but great tips here when I make that floor... floor level when I get to that project.
What kind of floor surface you guys have? Like one you stay on at 1:30?
Here is a video we made about the floor: th-cam.com/video/uUEkLituYPA/w-d-xo.html
How i wish o would of had a mom like u im truely jealous of ur daughter,keep up the good work... :)
Thank you so much! I've watched so many videos. This was exactly at my skill level to understand!!! Thanks so much!!
You're very welcome!
Great video ladies. Watching from the beautiful, tranquil Islands of The Bahamas 🏝️🌅🏖️🇧🇸

Great job. Looking forward to adding a separation wall with my daughter. Thanks
I wanna do this but I don’t get the attic part my attic looks different can I just check to see if there’s a piece of wood where I want to drill ?
I have a question for you, my husband and I are going to build walls around our basement access but I can’t find any studs in the existing wall connect my 2x4 to for the new wall to build off of. What should I do because I can’t put it anywhere else due to the steps in the floor going into the basement? Should I use anchors? And if so, do you have any to suggest?
Hi !!! This is the first video I have ever watched I can’t wait to watch more videos 🥳👍👍
First video I've seen that shows you what to do if your wall doesn't match up with roof joists!
Good Job Ladies, very impressed. can you please tell me the specifications of the nails you used to nail the wall to the floor?
Tapcon 3/16 in. x 3-1/4 in. Phillips-Flat-Head Concrete Anchors
nice work
You all do a great job!
How would you do something like this inside the home. For example, we have a formal dining and living room. The divider has a curved top. I was thinking of turning the formal living room into a room. I would want to remove it if we ever needed to sell the house.

Great video! Thank you!!
Good job and smart work 👍💪💪
hi! what if I want to do this in a basement, but obviously cannot go into the basement ceiling as that would mean going between floors. Does that mean I should just try and find studs in the ceiling using a stud finder? Or just not build the wall at all?
Amazing really! Great Channel! How did you learn to do this, and how long have you been doing it for?
We are taught by TH-cam videos and google search :)
Good work. So cute to see you two working together. Love it.
Thank you so much for the great video.
I learned so much from this that I found hard to find elsewhere. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome partition Wall !
Well done ladies ❤
I want to do the same, but MOVIBLE! with wheels! can you give me some ideas?
We actually made a smaller movable wall in this space too: th-cam.com/video/WhkkfjK9Hhc/w-d-xo.html
Great job ladies!!!!!
Awesome job.
I'm a contractor and I can't seem to find those stud plates and I would very much like to use them is there a link because I can't find them in any home Depot where I'm from
homedepot.sjv.io/5bYDLN
Excellent! Thank you both!
Yes, thank you Home Depot. These are exactly the types of videos I like . . going to HD to get my supplies . .
Loved your video. What's the size of your garage?
Thanks! It's about 2.5 cars size.
Great work. Thanks for the help! I'm trying to build a wall to partition a laundry room but its in the basement, any advice on how to secure it above??
Seriously high-quality video, very impressed.
Thank you!
Please how long did it take
Nice and easy when you have all the gear.
Great job, that looked fun to build
It was!
I always enjoy your videos and usually learn something from them! Thank you.
Good job
Looks great helped me out 💯
Great job for your video.
About roughly how much would you say all this cost ? Stud plate , wood , nails ?
This is explained so well! Thank you!
Really Informative
I am amazed, but I need to hire you or other people who are good in building this wall.
I am totally gonna do this with my mom and daughter.
Great video
Do we need planning permission?
What an awesome video

Ah ok. That makes sense. Thanks
Where can I find that wall material you used?
bit.ly/mdpbuildwall
I was wondering about your floor what is that I love it !
It's vinyl and we installed it here: th-cam.com/video/uUEkLituYPA/w-d-xo.html
Good job
What screws did you use to attach the 2x4 to the existing way
You can find the material list here: bit.ly/mdpbuildwall
Love this team! ❤️

What bits to use for concrete? Can those be used on concrete bricks?
It's a concrete bit. I don't remember the brand of this one.
Hello what size were the plywood you guys use? Thanks for sharing
