Great video. Very informative and well presented. Love your work ethic and consideration for other. We recently moved to a timber framed house with brickwork outer. The transfer of noise between rooms and floors is amazing. Shame they didn’t use noise insulation when they built the house. Can I ask a question regarding timber framed partition walls. We intend to remove one between the kitchen and dinning room to extend the kitchen. I think the wall is load bearing. How are these type of timber framed walls normally constructed. Will I need an RSG to carry the load?

Defo knocking up frames is better on the body . Soul plate down then individual frames. Obv check stud sizes but even if floor is 50m out in places a few double wedges will keep it good all that walking back and forth to pick up 1 stud at a time is thing of past . Esp if working solo . Frames defo easier on body

Hi Keith🖐I would be VERY careful drilling into the screed/floor if it had UFH in it😶I've just studded out a bungalow with UFH and was ASSURED by the builder/plumber that the screed was 80mm thick meaning I could drill about 50mm into it without hitting a pipe. I did this by setting the depth stop on my sds drill and using EXACTLY the right size plugs and screws. If I was in anyway unsure, I would just 'stick' the floor plates down with high performance adhesive or PU adhesive👍Cheers Del

I have been asked by builders in the past to put down a quadrupole floor plate, to make up for the insulation and screed, because they didn't want to get me 3m studs😮 It was ridiculous and the shrinkage alone in all those floor plates would have caused all kinds of cracking🤯Cheers Del

This reminds me of doing Rondo stud walls. Light weight metal wall and ceiling systems. We mostly use on commercial jobs. Shoot the base track on laser up the head track. Twist in the studs and crimp in place. The title of your channel puts you at an advantage using this method. My channel would have to be short arse Carpenter. You imagine every stud you put in you have to get on a hop up or climb a ladder. You wouldn't need to go to step training at the gym. It just isn't viable especially in your 60's. As you are upgrading your laser collection consider another one. I do a lot of glazed tiling and use a square set out laser these days instead of the old 345. Now when laying out frames I grab that. In combination with my line laser I can project a perfect 90 off any wall. Good to see a man happy in his work though and in shorts. The weather must be looking up.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Paul🖐I should have put more details in, but I was keen not to repeat things I've already done in other videos, plus, tge video was starting to get really long😵I Mark the studs by putting them against the head plate and putting pencil across them, I then leave the pencil line on when I cut them which makes them just long enough to stay in place as I nail them👍Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del

Great job. Is there any reason you don't use treated lumber for your bottom plate instead of adding the dpc to it? Is it a coast saving thing or is it just how its done over there? Also a great tip for holding a chalk line down on a concrete slab when working alone is to use a 1 inch drywall screw hammered into the slab and hooking the chalk line onto that. I find the 1 inch drywall screws work best for that because they are really hard and much sharper then masonry nails and require less fuss to tap in. Try it out sometime.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi I'm about to build a stud wall in my house 4m long, how do you make sure the chalk line/laser line is 100% straight? So if I was to build a wall of it everything would be square and straight.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Lewis🖐Just keep the chalk line pulled nice and tight and it will always mark a straight line👍Use a square like the one in the video or do the '345' trick off the straight line to keep and walls coming off it at perfect 90°👊Cheers Del

[@Whixxkid1]

Thank you 👍

[@ooslum]

I know there has to be some limt Derek but when setting out is it always off the brick or block work rather than the estimated finish?, cheers.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Great question Alan🤗This plan is, I think, a structural plan, so I just measure straight from it onto the building. I have done jobs before, where the plan dimensions are more critical, and in these cases, I'll find out the finished wall make up, and allow exactly for it👍Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del

[@dangeddes855]

Do you mark the sole plate and your top plate then go to the marks? Just wondering what you would do if the first stud against the wall is out of plumb then all your marks are out that same amount. Also, do you measure each stud in case floor/joists/trusses are out of level

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Dan🖐I have gone into detail in other videos, but I do measure each stud individually to accommodate a out of level floor, and I mark the bottom plate at 400mm centre's on the bottom plate, and plumb up the first one from the external wall to the top plate, and then mark 400's from that, so it doesn't matter in the block wall is out of plumb👊Cheers Del

[@bmxerboynathan]

Mark your first stud 390 instead of 400 or 590 if your using 600 centres allowing for 10mm if the blockwork is out slightly, make sure your first stud is bang on level then mark the rest of that first stud. Mark your stud on your headplate on the marks then cut 2mm above the Mark giving you a snug fit so it doesn't move around as your trying to nail it. Great video BTW!

[@thetallcarpenter]

@@bmxerboynathan Hi Nathan🖐We are on the same wavelength, and I actually mark my floor plate out at 430, 830,1230,1630 etc. The timber is 38mm thick so it leaves the first stud 10mm further away from the wall to allow it to be out of plumb, which is not too much as the dot and dab plasterboard is about 30mm thick👍 I then work away from the external wall pulling my studs to the line which is facing me, and then nail it up. Being tall, I am able to place the stud against the top plate and mark it with my pencil, and as you suggest, I just leave the line showing when I make the cut, and the studs holds in a treat as you nail it💪 Thanks for your comment bud

[@glenr834]

Wondering if you’ve checked level on your new red 12v laser? I’ve had 2 now and both have been 4mm off checking about 1m in from each end of the beam on the level line, whereas my old 3year old 20 odd thousand mile travelled dw088k is spot bollock on.

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Glen🖐Funny you should say that, as I HAVE actually checked it for level, AND against my old faithful DW088😎Reason being, my mate bought one and, like you found, it was out from the factory😬Great comment and thanks for watching😎Cheers Del

[@paulingram9661]

Hiya del, how high should the noggins be? Does it depend how tall the wall is or are they there for the plasterboards?

[@thetallcarpenter]

Hi Paul🖐We fit out plasteboard vertically, so noggin position isn't critical as long as its somewhere near the middle👊I keep my noggins no higher than 1100mm from finished floor, as they wont then get in the way of any of the light switches that should be 1200mm to their top edge👍Cheers Del

[@paulingram9661]

Ahhh good to know, cheers.
