Good video. Im journeyman carpenter and when i was taking classes with union carpenters they didn't teach us this in class we mainly learned about metal stud framing and soffit work. This video is educational. But over the years I've learned wood framing from older guys that new this of the pre-cut studs at 92-5/8 and there is a reason behind that. You explained it real simple. You ought to make video about installing sheathing and siding. I've seen many homeowners who don't know a thing about sheathing and installing siding for their additions. Ive worked on side-jobs where the home owners didn't do their work correctly and i just hv to make it work. I save these types of videos to show the youngsters how to do residential framing, drywall, taping, texture and sheathing/siding intall. Im telling you lotta youngsters need to learn the carpenter trade we are a dying breed. Back in the days when i was a younster i believe older more experienced carpenters didn't teach us these things that were important so i was yelled at a lot. Back then there was no TH-cam tutorials.
We do have a video lesson about sheathing in this series. Siding may be available on TH-cam in about a year
After all these years. I could have saved so many cuts and just factored that in. Better late than never!😁 Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for you're videos. I took a "framing course" at Durham College last year. Pulled from the course halfway after all we had learned was how build a toolbox.
I've learned more from your videos in the past two days that I did in the 8 4 hour sessions on that night course.
Thanks for the compliment, and sorry to hear your collage course was a disappointment.
Thank you for these videos. You guys need to make a bunch more of these. Very well done.
More to come! We post videos on our free access channel about 1 year after they are released on our TradeSkillsU.online platform.
Excellent video! This is a very clear and condensed explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a bunch for making this type of content. I worked my way through college building homes with a local custom builder and learned a ton. I've tried to keep up my skills all these years and still do tons of woodworking and home remodeling. Content like this is very valuable to folks like me. THANKS!
That is awesome! - thanks for sharing and thanks for watching
You read my mind, was buying lumber this weekend for some interior partition walls and wondered this!!
Well, glad our timing in releasing this video worked for you. But it was not reading your mind - that was all TH-cam. freaky algorithm
Awesome awesome awesome!!!!!!! Thank you
You are so welcome! I hope we watch more of our lesson videos.
Nice video.
Many many thanks
Oh, the baseboards!!! I truly should have known
Do you not strap your ceiling before drywall?
Hi thanks for the video content😊
Any chance can you do a video on layout for a shed foundation with batter boards. It will be really appreciated thanks
That is a rather specific request. We are working on a lesson series about concrete slabs, but I don't expect that to be released on our Community Ed Channel for a while. Typically we don't release content on this free platform until about a year after its release to our school customers.
What about houses that use strapping on the ceiling?
Drywall needs to be mounted about 1/8" to 1/4" off the floor to prevent capillary action.
That is correct
Hmm isnt the standard celing drywall thickness 5/8 inch? Also how does this work for the exterior sheathing?
5/8 is not always required for a ceiling - it depends on the spacing of the joists. But if you were required to step up to 5/8 you still have the room at the bottom. It works quite well on the exterior, what specifically was your question.
I knew the reasons, I never knew the math, thanks! I find it funny that pre-cut studs are slightly more expensive than a full 8 footer at my local big box. I guess you are paying for the convenience...
They get us for the extra money one way or another - but it does save a ton of time.
Thanks for the video. What are the dimensions of the wood you used to build the model wall?
You can find more about our scaled teaching lumber on our other channel for teachers - th-cam.com/video/_A6u0oQ9Guw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-jKXcU5k9SUO4qT6
We have 92-1/4" in the Western Doug Fir States.
I wonder if ours in Colorado are longer to allow more shrinkage. We are so dry here we have trouble when framing with green wood with more moisture than 17%
@@ConstructionEd I think you may be correct, thanks for your response. Age 62 and still learning.
great video. What about when the floor is not level?
If its too bad - fix it first.
@@ConstructionEd not that bad, 1/2 inch difference.
What does the scale's on the back of the empire speed square mean 12 inch one
sorry, not sure what ones you are referring to
I was always told it was 5/8 drywall on the ceiling and 1/2 flooring.
You can use 1/2 or thicker on both locations. It mainly depends on the joist spacing, and cost.
Great explanation, but 5/8” drywall should always be used on the ceiling; and on the walls in anything but the cheapest of houses.
Do you always need two plates? For example the basement framing that is not structural should only need one top plate, correct?
That is correct - a cap plate is not required for non loadbearing, but they are often installed to keep all the walls consistent.
@@ConstructionEd thanks for the reply
GRACIAS .....
you are welcome
you bet
Wow I just started construction you just saved me going banana 🍌
Glad to hear it. Welcome to the channel
Hi i have a question: I am new to construction world but trying hard to learn it. Is it possible some CNC machine precut the lumbers and also jet print evey 16" or 24" on lumbers. So we can save a lot of time at construction site.
Armin - There are companies that allow you to order precut materials based on your construction plans. All the framing comes cut precut and marked. But it does come at a cost.
@@ConstructionEd thank you so much. I really enjoying and learning from your channel.
my home depot los angeles are 92. 1/4.... not 5/8 inch
Here in California, we have always used 92 1/4" studs for 8' walls. Never heard of 92 5/8" studs. However, a 1/2" gap could be more helpful than a 1/8" gap. Where are you located?
We are in Colorado - But figured that 92 5/8 was pretty standard - interesting to hear that you guys are at 92 1/4 - is that the only precut size on the racks
@@ConstructionEd We would get studs from the lumber yard pre-cut at 92 1/4 or 104 1/4 depending on the ceiling height of course. The box stores have 92 1/4 next to the 96 2x's. I have not framed in several years, now that I am teaching.
After a little research, it does look like 92 5/8 is more common.
Love the fact that I am always still learning.
@@ConstructionEd We use 92 1/4 in Reno NV as well.
@@ajreindel7458your right ...los angeles is 92. 1/4 inch
92-1/4” here in California
I heard that some someone else also - I was not aware. Is it a local code thing
It’s just California being weird again. Anything to be abnormal to the rest of the country
plus 3/4 hardwood floor,
yep
What about the 5/8 - 3/4 for the strapping?
I hear it's not for "jacking up the drywall for a tight seam", it's for the drywall to not touch the floor.
that also
They're not all EXACTLY the same length. I'm framing my house atm n I've had precut studs of 92 5/8 come an 1/8 shorter
that does happen, very frustrating
Love the models..... no not you, the stick models.
How nice, you think we are models. Hand models at best
Don't you have drywall different lengh? 2.5m 2.65m 3.0m are normal. 😅😅😅👍🇩🇪 and timber comes in Dimension 6/24cm 13m. You can gut where you want!!
😂😂
Our typical drywall is 8, 10 and 12 feet
Two plates go on the top, not the bottom
Correct - Our images do show the double top plate
