While installing door casing a couple weeks ago, I had an 18 gauge nail break in half and ricochet (probably hit a framing nail). It came back and whacked me in the orbital bone within 1/2 inch of my eye. Since this incident, I always wear eye protection (The girly skirt of course is still optional). I admit the risk is low with new wood frame-ups, but I would caution anyone to consider the risks in cases where you may not know what's underneath the material you are nailing.

was the door already in the doorjam/frame? did you attach it or does it come like that? in AUS you can't buy doors in frames. They are separate. sorry if i missed something

How do you build the wall when you don't have enough space to lay it down either way?

Im about to do this in a bit of a skinny hallway.any suggestions for making this as low profile as possible?
Thanks for the content

Is this a hollow or solid core door? If it is hollow, would you have done anything different for a solid core? Like needing to make the frame stronger somehow? Thanks

Doing a wallmacross my basement. Super novice here and the hardest thing currently is dealing with the drop ceiling. Do I rip it down.. rip it down just where the walls going like you did kind of. The problem is I'm going east-west then north south and then back east-west...

God bless YouTube. First video was exactly what I needed.

On Safety... I knew a guy that, on two separate occasions, had to have bits of metal removed from his eye from grinding metal without wearing safety glasses. Now he's much more careful what direction the sparks fly. ;-)

How much did you charge the clientele, to install this door? Flat rate? Hourly? Do you buy parts, or do they?

Honest question. Is it normal in the US to not insualte internal walls? Doesn't it make for very poor sound insualtion between rooms?

YouTube must be paying well. Gravy jobs lately. I'm glad your able to take it easy on your body. You deserve it!! I know what 30 years manual labor does to a body. Keep up the good work handyman..

I loved it. What was the size of this framing?

[Mitzoplick]

Rather than replace one of the hinge screws with a long screw, I like to one hinge at a time, remove all 3 hinge screws from the jamb, install a long screw through the jamb behind the hinge, then screw the hinge back in. It helps with my OCD over having one hinge screw that will likely not match the other 2.

What guage is your framing gun and degrees

I love how you left the bottom plate in and cut it out once installed. Looks like it made it a lot easier to put together.

How much does a job like this come out to? Materials ?
Labor?

[handymanny]

Great job ..How would you charge a job like that?

[thatsright]

Quick question why not use screws for the framing won’t they be the better choice

[tysmith]

Sorry if I missed it but what size nails are being used in the gun?

[TruthfromBibleMinistry]

Don't you need criples above the door frame?
