OMG. Thank you! I’ve been looking all over the place to learn this stuff. No one teaches a class in building.
You are welcome Danny! I appreciate your comment!
There's apprenticeship programs or union but it's "mostly on the job " learning which isn't always effective.... there are many books you can get tho
might want to explain why the first mark for your studs is shorter than the others. Not 16 on center because the sheet goods is fully covering the stud at the corner. Some folks dont pick up on that. Great job sir. keep it up.
I wondered about that
Grace and peace bro... thank you for the walk through. I really appreciate it.
this guy explains things very clearly. i know nothing bout framing but learned so much from this one video.
thx so much
Awesome! Love the way you break it all down from start to finish.
You are welcome! I’m glad I can help!
Yeee boi!!! You are the man!!! I’m in AZ and I’m about done with a 1,200 sqft remodeling thanks to you chief! Framing, door, windows, roof and slab, Dry wall too 😂 thanks to you
If you use a framing square as opposed to the speed square you would eliminate the steps of marking the X and putting the mark 3/4 from 16” OC because the framing square has a center hole in it that you put on your 16” OC mark which you can then scribe both sides of the framers square with your pencil, leaving you with two lines 1-1/2” apart where you will place your studs!
Very informative and detailed
Great info straight to the point
Great video man! Thanks a bunch from WV
love your videos! Could you make a video on how to put up a wall stud by stud, and still make sure is all level and plumb. I work by myself and I am not able to lift up an entire wall up. Thanks!!
Detail best..
I alwys wtch all your vidio sir..
Gbu
You were awesome! I appreciate it. I’m glad I can help
Fantastic video

Enjoyed your video
Thank you! Be sure to subscribe for more videos!
Amazing!!!!! thank youuu
That was fantastic!! You need to teach, wait you are.
Thank you!
Your videos deserve more views. Thanks!
Tip your top and bottom plates on the 1.5" side...drive an 8 in to hold the boards, then follow this instruction. Why on the 1.5.... when you frame...you will have your marks on the side that is easier to read. where do you frame that you don't use wall bucks or L - buck or H buck... Very concise for the DIY guy and gals.. P.S. ALWAYS PULL YOUR TAPE... LEFT TO RIGHT
Got it!!! Thanks
Your awesome brother
I appreciate your comment Tyre! Thank you!
Have you ever done a video about laying out cailing stripping or doing floor lay out for inside walls
love video
Built many houses and have marked exactly 16 and Back or away depending and no issues. Has this always been a thing? I get stuff falls 2,4,6,8,etc but worsts is you would need one nailer. But we never had issues and allot of times the take off could be where first stud for structural wall at say 8 1/4 then 16 and away or back
Use a framing square place it at 16 mark each side
Can you explain the reason for a double top plate and how you connect two walls together? In a video
If you use one side of a framing square it will give the exact thickness of a 2x4 for framing.
I'm still a little unsure about the exterior wall stud, where you came in 4 inches. Can you explain that a bit more or have a visual?
I would like a clarification on this too. I think it is because when you place the intersecting exterior wall you will want to nail the stud at the end of it, to the frame of the first wall. Placing that stud 4" in on the first wall gives the nail joining the 2nd, intersecting, exterior wall something to secure into. Also, I want to know what the Excellent Laborer was doing with the pipe wrench and the hammer as he was nailing the studs in. I tried to look at it carefully, but am not sure. Thanks!
I found the answer in another comment. He came in 4 inches so that he would have a "nailer" that he could nail the edge of the drywall board into, at a later stage. In the comment he said that he thought it was better to do it at this stage, rather than later.
Perfect. Thank you. I'm building my retirement home in the coming months, with the help of my kids.
You are welcome. Good luck building your retirement home. That sounds awesome! Save a ton of money doing it yourself.
@@TheExcellentLaborer yes it will. The manufacturer home deal went great, except that the home seller business wanted to charge me $20,00.00 for a dirt pad. I have silt loam dirt, which is the best. I called off the deal, got my refund back and told my wife I'll build us a home. She agreed.
Hi there The Excellent Laborer, thanks for making an informative video. The only thing that I think ought to have been mentioned is to crown your lumber plates up towards the sky if marking them on the side so that they don't see-saw while you are marking them. The same mention should be made for the studs you place in between the plates with the crowns uniformly being placed in one direction (typically up to the sky if laying them out on the deck). I noticed one the plates you were working on was bowed, so I thought I would mention it. Otherwise, thanks for the content. All the best to you in 2021, H.D.H. [: { ].
Yes, I always do crowns up when building the walls. Be to you in 2021 as well. Thanks for the comment!
Дякую за пояснення. Просто і ясно.
THIS EXPLAINED IT GREAT! We are building 2 more homes for our "Tiny House Kingdom" in Tolu Beach Colombia and we invite🙃 you to stay for your helpful videos!
How long should my up right be for a 7 ft ceiling if I am going upstairs
Over to it. (Texas style)
Gracias
You are welcome Joel!
Dumb question here. Say you're framing an 8 foot section. Then your studs will be at 16, 32, 48, 64, 80 and 96 OC. Since that last stud is at 96 OC if you put it on center it would extend 3/4" past the top and bottom plates. In that case do you shift the stud back 3/4" so that it stays flush within the top and bottom plates?
An extremely important factor that I have yet to see any TH-camr Home Builder show us, or explain to everybody, is the proper height of those wall studs for an 8’, or 10’, or 12’ tall wall height! If we use treated lumber for the wall studs, (for termite-free and worry-free aspects), those boards are not cut like conventional kiln-dried wall studs. They would need to be cut shorter, to fit between the bottom plate and the double top plate of the wall section, to be an even 8’, 10’, or 12’ total height. So, for an 8’ tall wall height, the wall studs should be 91.5” (to take into account, the three 2”x4”s width (4.5”) deducted from 8’ (96”), in order for the 4’x8’ sheathing to completely cover that wall). A 10’ wall would require the wall studs to be cut down to 115.5”, and cut down to 139.5” for a 12’ wall height! Just sayin’!
Nobody build walls out of pressure-treated. That is why they are not pre-cut the length. I’m not sure why anybody would want to build a whole house out of pressure treated lumber. That’s something to look into. Thanks for watching!
Always use 2 2×4) at the beginning?
What's the correct direction to follow, in order to mark your 16" OC measurements? (L - R or R - L) I'm asking because I've watched various TH-cam videos showing 2 different ways of doing it.
We mark off one wall end.
One can do either way, as long as you are marking from the same side. That is my 2 cents.
So sorry Josh. The other day I requested a video on building an interior wall...guess I just needed to shut up and keep watching! Thanks for your education.
Haha you are good. I have a few videos on your building. Check them out! Watching Michael!
Building a shelf
What size is the plates?
Now i have to go check my 48 s ha
Okay why did you do the corner with a 4inch hold back. Do you turn the 2x4 so you can insulate behind it.
I did not start with a 4 inch hole back. I started with 3/4” hold back so the stud breaks out 16” on center
@@TheExcellentLaborer I think we are talking about different things. In your video you measured over 4 inches and then started you 16in on center layout. The corner is not a California corner, right? You framed it with a standard corner?
@@damianpetty1222 Correct. I measured every 4 inches just to allow a drywall nailer to be placed. Easier to do it now than later
Does it matter what end you start from ?
No.
Excellent video, except for the part where you don't show where to sit the studs. For newbies like me, would of being great to see how you sit and nail the first stud.
Note taken. Thanks for watching!
Have you seen the price of material lately? INSANE!!
And the run on certain materials is also crazy. I had a project that needed green-treated 4X4's and couldn't find them anywhere in my location.
Dean Christensen wow! There is a big shortage evidently. I just got my truss quote for $22k! Same trusses only $12k a year ago. This price inflation has to go down soon hopefully.
@@TheExcellentLaborer Wow! Time to look at maybe building them yourself?
Dean Christensen Was thinking about. The house is 50’ wide so the truss has to be made with 2x6s and it’s cause the price to jump a lot.
How much does it cost you to build your own home?
Great question Javier! Depends on the location. The house I build in the beginning of this channel was built for $110,000 (counting the property it was on) and sold for $220,000. So figure half is material and half is labor. The more labor you do the more you make. Be sure to ring the bell so you get notified when I release a video!
In this video you are saying that a 2x4 is 1 1/2 inch thick. Isn't suppose to be 2 inch thick since its a 2x4? A bit confused here!
Great observation! A 2 x 4 is an inch and a half thick and 3 1/2 inches wide. It’s been that way for years. I think it’s 2 x 4 before it is dried out. And then it shrinks down
@@TheExcellentLaborer They are planed to the final dimensions of 3 1/2' X 1 1/2"
How many are professionals and how many still live in their parents basement and knows better on building a house sending out a comment ? I'm neither, just an asshole....
Just curious, why should you mark 15 1/4 and 16 1/4 when you can just mark 15 1/4 and mark an x next to it?
Gonna share this with my daughter!
