Wall Framing Connections and Corners - A Lesson from our Framing course - TEACH Construction

I'm building a 12x42 cabin and have spent countless hours researching framing in order to draw up my plans. This video series is by far the best. A lot of useful information that's carefully explained with reasoning spread throughout. Wished I had discovered this a year ago. Watched many of the Larry Haun videos which are still mostly relevant today. This series really gets to the point with great explanatory diagrams. Thank you!

Man thank you so much. I’ve been scrolling through KZbin forever it seems like just to find someone explaining this. All I ever find is someone in the construction process barely explaining how it’s supposed to be done, you also gave alternatives to the common way which is a plus.

[@tealkerberus748]

I was watching a Scandi builder recently, and in his build instead of the second top plate he had the same size timber on edge as a lintel beam immediately under his top plates all around his build. It stiffens the top plate against vertical loads a lot more than the second top plate. I don't recall how he secured the top plates to each other at junctions, but here in Australia I'd expect to use a bit of galvanised sheet steel over the join rather than an extra piece of timber the full length of the wall, if I didn't need the second top plate to stiffen the wall. We use a lot of galvanised sheet steel components in holding our buildings together - it's very good for the task!

4 full studs in the four stud corner fills the corner and makes a solid corner which strengthens the whole house, no cutting blocks. Frame your walls normally with one stud at the end, easy. Stand walls together and add 2 studs in the corner, done. The extra studs get placed easier in my opinion. Instead of lining them up loose on the floor. Just seems easier and stronger.

[@ConstructionEd]

If a framing member is not specifically required, it is best practice to leave it out. It is just extra framing, extra time, extra material, and you loose the ability to insulate the corners... and unless the structural engineer specific calls it out in a detail - it is plainly not needed.

[@rbnhd1976]

@@ConstructionEd wood has insulation value though and the corner winds up being stronger

[@ConstructionEd]

@@rbnhd1976 R-value of wood is about 1 per inch and the insulation that could be in the 3-inch or so cavity of a 2x6 corner is over R3 per inch. The age-old argument about a 4 stud corner being stronger is rendered moot because the strength is not called for. The sheer strength is coming from the sheathing, and unless there is more load on the corner than the studs the extra framing is just that - "extra". Yes it has been done that way for a long time, but over and over it is has been shown that the extra materials are not needed.

That ladder wall connection is so efficient. Great job on explaining that.

[@oldmanidaho215]

The building code calls for drywall fasteners to be installed 8" o.c. for nails and 16" o.c. for screws on the edges so the if the ladder method is used it would have to installed minimum 16" o.c. not 24" o.c.

Hello. I am really enjoying this channel’s content. Very informative. I would like to know, if possible, how to either 1) join the overlapped top plates at corners to accommodate a “ballooned” wall frame that will host a scissored gable truss OR 2) how to brace a scissored gable truss against wind loads without interfering with the interior ceiling’s “vaulted” aspect.

Your lessons are very good and practical. I built my own building by myself, the first time doing that from the ground up. Some things I did well, but in some places, I was cursing the framer's rough carpentry and the lumber stores' crooked lumber. These things that you're teaching make instant sense to me, having had a little experience before watching. But if I watched before having any experience, I would still at least be aware of these considerations from the get-go.

I work as an architectural designer/draftsman, not a licensed architect. I take pride in what I've learned for commercial metal framing, to make sure I'm not producing drawings framers laugh at lol. With that, get into residential in my personal life, learning wood framing. I have an older 40s "kit" home with 2x4 exterior walls. For the T connection, if I use either of the methods, do I kill my insulation properties squeezing in batt behind the blocking or additional stud? Love your channel, best out there!

[@gregyoung5166]

Very nice video with both wood demo joints and a plan view drawing of joint. The Arkansas 24" 2x6 framing project may have originated the 3 stud corner connection circa early '60's. Everything has trade offs and using drywall clips may not really save any money and can seriously complicate finish trim both at the baseboard level and at the crown mold level. There is nothing to support or nail into on the one side. If you use the ladder style put the bottom and top blocks against the plates to provide robust fastening and support. I have used 3/4" material for both types of connections but maybe it is splitting hairs on insulation efficiency. Maybe you have already done a video on blocking but it would be nice to highlight all the areas in a house that will be of higher quality if blocking is installed....bathrooms, kitchens, fancy walking wardrobes, TV walls, vertical wood wall covering areas, wainscoting walls. Some times it is cheaper to just add 1/2" sheathing to entire wall.

[@ConstructionEd]

We do have a video on Blocking and you are correct - well placed blocking is great to work with.

I'm a Retired old school General Contractor here aways interested in new things even though retired. New to me, I liked your Calif corner. I don't like your 2 x 6 or ladder for the interior wall because sheet rockers are always in a hurry and if they nail up the interior wall sheet rock first that leaves only a 1/2" or less (sometimes the 2 x 6's are only 5 3/8') on the interior side of the exterior wall for sheet rock. On the ladder type, as soon as the sheet rock goes up you can't see where the blocking is to fasten the sheet rock to. Usually screws or nails are 8" apart on the edges of sheet rock so a ladder type would have to have about 11 blocks. Putting 2 or 3 extra studs into the exterior framing aids in precision alignment of the interior wall and gives the interior wall framing and sheet rock something to nail into.

[@lewishodge4935]

When drywalling a corner with a one inch face and an inch and a half face, it is important to fasten the drywall to the one inch face FIRST. When drywalling the inch and a half face, you will still have one inch for fastening the second sheet, (the first sheet will have reduced the second surface by a half inch, or 5/8" if using fireside drywall). If you drywall the inch and a half face first, you will only have a half inch to fasten the second sheet, a little too close to the edge of the drywall.
