Very informative and I love seeing women doing projects such as this. It gives me inspiration and confidence! My husband hates home improvement so I am learning to do many of these things myself so I do not have to rely on him:)

This was the most informative and easy to understand video I have seen on wall building so far. Great job and thank you! (Women are such better communicators)

[luckymarbles]

finally, a video that shows EVERY step without all the unnecessary words that start to get confusing

Can’t wait to start my project of separating a large basement room in a bedroom and a recreation room. I am a beginner so this was very helpful. Thank you

[lernen.ohne.angst.official]

building a wall just like this today. This is probably a better way for me to do it opposed to building it on the floor and raising it after built. Thanks for the video! Well done!

[MeemNoon]

Thank you for the video! It's great to see other women doing the things I want to do.

I thinks its beautiful to see a mother and daughter team doing things like this... 🙂💗

[rhondajanuszewski]

I really liked this a lot! It was easy to understood, well communicated directions, safely constructed and helped me understand how to overcome a lack of upper body strength when I build. Thank you!

I LOVE!! watching ladies do work like this. I learn things PLUS women implement cleaning as you go! Personally I have so much work I have to do on my home and I can not handle messes!!

This video just gave me a solution to a project I am currently working on. Those plates will be the answer! Thanks and good work!

Great video. And I appreciated you naming the tools as you were using them.

I like you two....good, fun interesting video projects.

I did something similar several years ago. I built a non-load bearing separating wall to divide a long room into two rooms. I added a door as well as an electrical outlet and a light switch for a ceiling lamp. Ran electrical from an available junction box in the attic to the outlet, up to the wall switch, then up to the lamp. Every time I turned on the light and tried to use the outlet at the same time I would trip a circuit in my electrical box. I spent about 8 hours trying to figure out the issue and must have tripped the circuit 10-15 times....lol.

So finally, I get fed up, go to bed and try again the next day. Amazing what I night of rest will do for you. I tripped the circuit breaker again but immediately realized that the circuit I was tripping was for the 220 volt dryer connection! Moved my electrical connection for wall outlet/light switch to another junction box in the attic (non-220 volt of course!) and solved the issue! Can't believe I tripped that circuit 10-15 times the day before not realizing it was for my

I never came across a palm nailer b4 that was awesome and the saw to cut the wood looks like it makes that gob soo easy.. So glad i came across your vid

I did redo our garage and created a room but raised it since it would flood on occasion but now that the flooding issue has been resolved, wish I would have placed that extra room floor level. Easy redo but great tips here when I make that floor... floor level when I get to that project.

Great job. Looking forward to adding a separation wall with my daughter. Thanks
