Ok, I'm here first of all to send a message to those who criticized the girl who's helping Tom. Her job is exactly and only to say " yes, ok uha and listen and learn. This is exactly what i was doing in the beginning of my carpentry, electrical and many other stuff of learning. Some guys came here to show their stupidity . Thats something I appreciate . Ok, now. Mr Tom, thanks one more time for sharing a great video which will helps me a lot on my next project.

Some people are just too good to keep quiet and listen in order to learn. I spent years watching my older brother fix and build things and learned a ton by watching him work, listening to what he had to say when he explained what he was doing and asking questions to clarify something or to understand it better. Watching the process a couple of times through and focusing on the details requires that one keep quiet and check their ego at the door. And proudly, I'm now teaching my sons basic contracting and they've figured out that they don't get to touch the tools until they've seen the process and paid attention. Once they master a particular thing, they get the tool that is required for it. I've spent the last two years listening to "uh huh," "yeah" and "oh." And every so often my brother will check out some work I'm doing and no matter how old I am and no matter how much work I've put into a job, I'm ready to listen when he has something to teach me whether it's just going over the basics or teaching me a better method of doing something (or giving me hell for taking shortcuts when building my new basement door).

A pressure treated plate could still be a bad solution. Stick at least tar paper between the plate and floor. In Sweden there was a big problem with houses built 1970-1980 when they used pressure treated wood directly in contact with the floor. The wood would emit bad smell when it got moisture from the floor. That could lead to allergy and asthma.

Agreed. The soft foam sill gaskets (usually pink) are the perfect solution and should always be used between wound and any masonry, including concrete. I'm amazed by how often I see new houses being built without sill gaskets.

It's because these cheap house builders only build to what code says. If code doesn't say to use the gaskets they aren't going to use them. it's why if you ever get a custom home built you are involved in every step of the way in designing everything down to the type of nails they use. These cookie cutter homes are just POS.

Honest question, shouldn't there be a vapor barrier between the concrete foundation and the stud wall?
@patrickmunits
@patrickmunits 9 жыл бұрын
latest knowledge states that it depends now in what zone you live in. In some areas a vapour barrier will do more harm than good. In others areas a layer of latex paint is all the vapour barrier that is needed. Adequate amount of air tight insulation is more important than presence of a vapour barrier. Absence of a thermal break between the base plate and concrete is not optimal for energy efficiency.

***** Generally speaking the vapour barrier goes on the "warm" in winter side of the insulation. As Patrick Munits points out, a vapour barrier can be accomplished many different ways.

+bradjk Vapour barrier goes on the "warm side" of the wall and insolation. What should be used is house wrap, this is what is used on the exterior of the house before exterior finishing such as siding. You basically make a wall that is going against concrete as if it was an exterior wall.

@bangmeister2012 Cold steel framing does rust, just very slowly (it's rust resistant). Wood is better for residential basements because it's easier to work with, readily available, and much cheaper.

This is really helpful. I was planning on finishing our basement within the next 2 years. I do have one quick question though for anyone who might know. The previous owner put floor heating into the concrete. Unfortunately we don't know where it is laid down. Is there a way to find that out so that we don't put a nail through mechanisms for heating the floor?

A Word of Wisdom do not put plastic against your cement wall and then place fiberglass matt against it for insulation, it draws moisture and runs down the wall and rot your wood that you fasten on the wall causes mold compensation do not use plastic against the concrete wall and then close it in with drywall big mistake learn the hard way

From a TV production perspective, shooting video in an older house to demonstrate how to frame, for example, could be an exercise in futility. If you're familiar with older homes, framing is whatever the carpenter decided it would be on that day. Standards were just not in wide use and old home construction can vary widely. Having owned two old homes, I'd suggest that anyone without a lot of carpentry experience consider hiring someone who does have experience. Otherwise, keep searching for information on how to deal with problems renovating an old home.
