@KidRockland A rough opening for interior doors should be 2" wider than the door you will be installing and 82-1/2" high. So if you installing a 36" door you will need a 38" wide opening.
@ezhangdoor13 жыл бұрын
A non load bearing wall does not need a header if it doesn't carry any weight. If you are placing joist over the opening, then it becomes a load bearing opening, which needs a header as you described. The framing in the video has a truss roof system with no weight on the interior door openings.

Tip. Mark your window and door openings 1st, on the 1-1/2" part of the 2x. then mark your studs. That way you can see the maks when you nail the studs to the top and bottom plates while standing up. Been doing it for 42 years, still doing it! I started out without nail guns, all hand nail.......Yep, older than dirt. LOL!

A concrete floor would not change how the wall is built other than a treated bottom plate would be required. You would however need to fasten the wall to the floor with concrete nails or Tapcon screws. The exterior walls would require anchor bolts placed in the concrete every 6' min. or per your local building code.

I like the hardcore 9-5ers who collect a weekly check talk and about how they are know it alls and faster and more hardcore than a lot of other tradesmen. I've always been quality not quantity and also realize that every job gives different situations and sometimes taking it slow to really figure something out is always the better way to go. I stopped collecting paychecks along time ago and now build my own houses, keep, and often rent out or sell on land contract. Now I'm building my 5,500 sq ft dream house at age 43. I've always worked steady and smart, not hardcore quick and stupid with my money. Remember, construction is permanent, so make sure it's done right. Save and invest the hard earned money my fellow tradesmen.

For marking plates we usually just nail the plates together and mark out the studs on the sides, then when you're ready to frame you pull the nail connecting them out (it's only 3/4 of the way nailed in) and you're ready to go.

I actually have been doing construction for over 25 years. We sometimes do add our top plate, but we have found it to be somewhat advantageous to install after the walls are in place. This takes the hassle out of over-lapping plates and we get tight fitting plate joints. One guy cuts and another walks the walls and nails. Just a preference of ours. As far as the crouching goes, it's a back issue, mostly mine...as you age it takes it's toll bending over. I used to be faster a few years back...

@ezhangdoor Toenailing is alot stronger than face nailing, its a lot better with lift-off of the studs, usually only 2 nails face nailed in a 2x4 compared to 4-5 toe nails. it all comes down to how you build your walls, on my crew we nail the plate right to the floor then toe-nail into double top plate and stand walls and then toe-nail into bottom plate.

You're so right, construction is hard on a body. I have caught a lot of flack in the video for framing on my knees. The truth is I did frame bent over for years (and much faster) but that took its toll on my back. As you age you look for ways to work smarter, or at least a little less harder on the body. Age is one of those things that will catch us all....

@MrShannon888 An angled nail, or a "toe nail", does hold better because you are creating shear. But as long as you space your nails apart while face nailing them to the plate, then that will be good as well. If you don't spread your nails far enough apart, the stud will still be able to twist.

@VAxHUNTER94 The L shaped piece actually will work for both interior and exterior corners. A big advantage to using them on the exterior vs. nailing blocking to two other studs, is it allows for insulation to be added in the corner after the house is framed and dry.

@MrShannon888 Your correct, OSB doesn't take moisture as well as plywood. That being said, there are some higher grade OSB sheathing that will resist moisture quite well. The problem is the price is also quite higher. As far as joist hangers, most codes require hangers on most connections now. There are a few expections with regaurds to 2x dimensional lumber and the number of joist carried. Best advice, use hangers on everything.

I usually go ahead and nail my top or double plate on the wall, before I raise them, when I mark corner's and partitions I make a three and a half mark and hold the plates an eighth back , and pick the straightest lumber so lining the wall is easier, this way I'm only on a ladder in the corner's and partition to nail off!! it locks everything together on top when you connect walls and makes it easier to frame alone,

@MrShannon888 In new construction I would recommend face nailing plates to studs. It's much faster and my opinion just a strong. However, if space is limited, such as a basement where you wouln't have clearance to raise a wall, then toenailing is the way to go.

What are you using for your exterior walls (2x4, 2x6)? If it's 2x4 just put two 2x20 together then a 2x4 plate flush with one side later put the part of the header with the plate facing down so that it would make a top "sill".

Great question! there is no header because the wall is an interior, NON-load bearing wall. Engineered trusses span across the building and walls inside the building have nothing bearing on them. Therefore, using a thick header material designed to carry loads would be a waste of money.

Hey, the question is not directly related to this video, but I wanted to ask you anyhow since the question popped up during the “framing walls” video. The question will be about connecting walls, straight walls not intersecting walls. Say we’re building 40 foot long wall. Obviously this length is not available in lumber. We build it up by parts. Option one : we break the top plate on the stud and connect the next piece on that stud as well, and the double top plate laps over 4 feet as normal. Option 2. We break the top plate between studs and then there is the connection ( between studs ) and then the double top plate overlaps the connection 4 feet. In the nutshell: do we connect between studs or on the center of the studs? Which is more common? I’ve seen bot of them. Thanks Péter
@ezhangdoor5 жыл бұрын
Peter, you are correct that it can be done either way. I’ll try and give my opinion on both methods as I have used both. Joining over the single stud eliminates a stud and keeps the wall cavity the same size for installation of fiberglass batt insulation. The disadvantage is it can be weak until the top plate is added. The advantage to studs on the end is the strength created by being able to face nail the two studs together; and you would use an extra stud every wall you join. Disadvantage is the smaller wall cavity space for less insulation or cutting fiberglass to fit, along with the need to caulk the two studs for air infiltration. Either way works, it seems to be more a preference thing.

EZ-Hang Door my questions are probably driving you nuts, I apologize, but please be kind and answer me one more question that I’ve been wondering about. For the sake of argument let say I have a wall ( exterior wall) 2x6 with double top plate that holds a floor ( ceiling ) joist system nailed 16 in oc. I need to put a roof over the walls. Spam of the building is 22 feet, rafter I’m going to go with is 2 x 8 Should I space ( simple gable roof 8/12 pitch) the rafters 24 in oc or go with the more common 16 in on center spacing? ( third option 12 inches seems too “tight” for the first look) Thanks so much Have a hive day, Péter
@ezhangdoor5 жыл бұрын
@@peterbalazs1537 Unfortunately the answer to the question really depends on other factors. The climate you live in, the Building Code you are constructing under, wind loads, seismic factors if any, location of the building (exposure factor), and if the structure could represents a loss of life (ie a garage or home etc..) You would need to verify the code in your location. There are span tables in the code book that give spacing tables based on a number of factors. Those could be snow, the width of the building (span), the size of the board, even the species of the wood being used. All of these factors play a role in rafter sizes. This is why engineered trusses have become so popular. For example I live in an area that gets snow in the winter. While a 2x8 spf 24" o.c. could work in a southern or warmer climate, it may not work here. This one isn't a preference answer like the wall studs, it's more of an engineering- safety issue. Hopefully that explains your questions.

Thanks so much against for your time and for your help! Best regards Péter
@hovh0313 жыл бұрын
I wonder they they don't add diagonal noggins to the code. It doesn't have to run the whole height, just about 3 feet. Instead of putting the piece the same width of the 2x4 (3.5 inches), do it the other way, so you have some room for continued insulation. Also, doing that way is stronger laterally (shear force). Most of the winds push the house in that direction.

Nice try but there were errors .# 1 nailing studs into sole plate should not have both of the nails close to the center . Rotational center = studs have a higher likelihood to twist , #2 , Never transfer a layoff from an unstabilized point .. ie . when transferring layoff to plates from a point of origin , like a plate nailed down to a chalk line .. It is stabilized .. but a header/cripple layoff should not come from a possible twisted stud in he "Field " but come from the remainder of layoff
