    When I did previous basements, I build laddered boxes out of 2x2 to frame around the duct or plumbing that needed to be enclosed/built around. I think I may try your method when I tackle my next job, as it looks easier and possibly a little less $$ needed. Thanks for the vid!
  • @cameronwong7608
    My basement looks almost exactly like yours! Thanks for the video as it is perfect for my basement renovation project!
  • @EagleWolf523

  • @mikemcbain4250
    OMG! I have to do this on a job tomorrow and couldn’t figure it out. But thanks to you I now know. This is the best way for me as I don’t want to frame under the duck work. Just hang the board. Nice!

  • @jeffknecht2733
    Simple solution!! Several have asked if the duct needs insulation to avoid sweating, etc
  • @tomhelsper7846
    I worked as a Union carpenter on commercial jobs for most of my career in the trade. You are making this way more difficult than needed. Skip the OSB and just use the drywall in its place. It is plenty strong enough. Use framing angle or 1-5/8” metal studs in place of the 2x2 or 2x4. Also, to ensure the finished bottom surface is level, hang the rips of drywall a couple of inches wild, get your laser or water level elevation marks at each end. Snap a chalk line, cut the drywall off, fasten the angle or 1-5/8” stud horizontally and it’s ready for the bottom piece. No wood needed at all. Cheaper and much faster. You don’t need all that structure behind the drywall. It is a waste.

    I watch your videos only for satisfaction not for learn how you do that if you make videos like the first video i will deafenatly i will be your biggest fan
  • @amazoneric1
    What was the span between both sides of the hvac duct? I saw you didn’t support both vertical pieces of osb to prevent rocking. Was this not needed?
  • @miked5106
    Do u need to wrap ducts with insulation to prevent condensation? especially with metal studs.
  • @bv2999
    will this prevent Ducts from sweating in humid enviroment when duct run AC?
  • @vedranjerkovic2951
    Should there be in clearance between the drywall and duct? is there chance for condensation.
  • @Calaxt01
    Did you pick this method up from the Home RenoVision guy?
