Why start at 15 1/4 on the framing?
-
Young man, I have to tell you that there are 3 problems with this video. 1.) The video was way too short. 2.) I could only give it one thumbs up. 3.) I wish I could email you a beer. THANK YOU for the great tutorial. You did a wonderful job! Happy New Year.
-
Finally, a video that takes the time to explain what's being done without speed ups and horrible music. Absolutely perfect!
-
Can't agree more with the comments saying this was perfectly shot and explained, and shown. Thanks for not wasting time showing every cut or action, but not missing anything.
-
At age 68, Iām just starting a first ever DIY basement project on our new house. Thereās no word to thank you for your clear and competent instruction. Your teaching skills are as impressive as your carpentry.
-
Dude, you just explain marking wood in a way that watching a thousand videos didn't. I finally get it. Thanks.
-
I love that you took a difficult wall, with many things to consider, and made a video out of it. The camera work and the extra close views of you marking it out was what i was missing from all the other video's i've seen. I know it must take a load of extra time when filming it initially, but the quality of instruction leaves NOTHING to be filled in with guess work, so THANK YOU!
-
This is so much nicer than a boss yelling at me and getting frustrated because I donāt already know all of this. I learned a lot thank you.
-
This guy is a good teacher.
-
This is fantastic reference material. Addresses adjustments, obstacles, and accommodations Iāll have to deal with finishing my basement. Really appreciate how you explain what and why youāre doing something and thinking ahead to drywall. Fantastic! Thank you for creating and sharing!
-
Super helpful, I like how clear and communicative you are. The whole marking forward although perhaps obvious to most was really helpful for me.
-
This was pretty dope! I plan on remodeling my basement this spring/summer and your video on how to frame a wall is justā¦ phenomenally easy and straightforward! Thanks for being so helpful.
-
When building a wall its a good idea to crown the studs,so your drywall isn't wavy,great video.
-
I love this. I need to frame a couple walls in my basement and now I know how to do it!!!!! Iāve assisted many times but never done it solo. This was exactly what I needed to see.
-
This is absolutely flawless video for a beginner. Simple and too the point !
-
Excellent tutorial! You gave a clear demonstration of the whole process, with explanations of why each step was taken and the concerns that might be used for each (the treated lumber for any contact with concrete, the extra blocking/studs for drywall, that jog that was necessary for the door).
-
Only video Iāve seen that showed how to add the supports for when your wall doesnāt align with studs and joists. Much appreciated. Gonna build some partition walls this month with a bit more confidence.
-
Thank you for this. We are waterproofing our basement now and then will be turning it into 1200 sqft of living area and this video does a great job showing and explaining some of the intricacies of framing rooms. Keep up the great work. Thank you again.
-
Articulate, easy to follow and very informative, which is the whole point of how-to videos, or at least it should be. This is exactly what I needed, thank you.
-
So hard to find people who work with reliable knowledge and workmanship intregrity. Very informative tutorial. Thank you.
