DIY How to Frame Your Basement A to Z

happy to share framing tips and how to build bulkheads in this video. Cheers

You should have a pro-tv show to be honest. Your stuff is amazing.

I watched this video like a movie. It's pretty long one, the guy knows what he's doing. So I grabbed a couple bottles and peanuts, sat on a coach and watched it. Thanks Jeff.

I watch your videos not because I’m actually going to do any of this work, but to be educated when I hire carpenters/construction guys. Thank you for being such an awesome teacher!

This is probably one of the best "how to frame a basement" clip I've seen. I'm not a professional, just a simple homeowner and seeing this clip with its easy to follow steps and Jeff's crystal clear explanations gave me the confidence to tackle a project like this.

finally moving into a house with an unfinished basement and I can't wait to do this. Been wanting to finish a space like this for years. Been watching your channel forever and now I can finally put a lot of your instruction to use!

This was very helpful, I found a little trick to make it even easier. I first put a the 2x2 then built the face and bottom piece on the ground. I then used a clamp to hold the piece in place then I screwed it on. Thanks for the tips. Love your videos.

Bless you Jeff! I’m trying to redo my basement and none of the men in my family know what the hell to do or they make it super complicated. So I’ve taken it upon myself a small 22yr old woman, to do it by myself. And this video helped so much! I have the meta beams and that’s what had my stumped and anchoring the wood to the concrete

In all seriousness I love your videos. We're talking about doing our basement and I have a ton of questions and very little experience. Most of my basement is completely unfinished.

Great video. I’m about to frame a small part of my unfinished piece to make a podcast studio. This helps me a ton!!!

This is awesome, I'm framing a really low basement and couldn't figure how to build a thin bulkhead covering both the heat/return vents. I can just hang a plywood with a 2x2 attached top and bottom and it gives me great support over a wide space

Sir you outdid yourself this time. You really gave a step-by-step approach on tackling a project like this. You are really a master teacher.

I randomly watched this video and was hooked 30 seconds in - lots of great information shared at a quick cadence and a good sense of humor. I really appreciate the pride Jeff puts into a well constructed project for the long run - not just throwing up some dimensional lumber, very good understanding of the characteristics of the material he's using and thinking ahead for all the trades that depend on a thoughtful framer to set them up for success.

watching that "perfectly cut" stud slide in was surprisingly satisfying! It's kind of like finally taking that center bite on a buttered piece of toast. Of course, now all my cuts will be measured against this video which will no doubt result in frustration, self-deprecation, and depression....so, thanks for that.

Built my first wall and tried to make the height too perfect. I used a hammer to wack it in place, but it was too tight and would not stand plumb. Was unable to then lower the wall and had to cut all the studs off. My second wall was better! Thanks for your tips. Super helpful for me finishing my basement alone.

Hi Jeff. We just bought our 1st house and everything I am watching in your channel will help me get a step closer on how to build my basement and do some up great around the house. Thank you so much for being so kind to share everything with us and I really appreciate everything you do. God bless you and keep up the good work.

I just can't stop watching your videos, tips and tricks in each one man.. Thanks for big effort Jeff

Love your videos, started my own company and your videos are great for explaining the process. Always been on the working end, not the planning end of the jobs. Also watch for stuff ive never done before, thanx for taking the time to make these

Hey man, I just wanted you to know that I just finished up a project today, and your videos were really helpful with giving me the idea. Had a cabinet in the garage that was separating from it's back on one end because it was bent around an exposed gas line on the other. Wound up taking it off the wall and fixed the separated back with screws and wood glue. While that dried, I got some 2x4s and screwed them to the studs as verts/spacers, with a long 2x4 'header'. Got the cabinets screwed to the spacers and it's nice and secure now, the doors actually close now, and it doesn't look like it's about to fall off the wall! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

This is very helpful and the ONLY actual advice on YouTube one can actually apply at home in a DIY single person setting. Very much appreciate and Subscribed!
