DIYers Guide to Framing a Wall - Framing BASICS

DIYers Guide to Framing a Wall - Framing BASICS
ANYONE can frame a wall. All you need is the right tools. A good pair of hands also helps! I’m finishing the basement in our 40-year old home, and videoing each step along the way in a future bedroom. I am NOT a pro - just a self-sufficient DIY Weekend Warrior finishing my basement on a budget. I've leveled the concrete and converted an old garage door threshold into an exterior door and window. Now comes a wall. You could totally hire a pro to come in to frame this thing for you, but why hire it out when you can build it on a budget yourself???
Special thanks to Jay Stockham for his help on the project, and Brendan Alvey for audio production!
