The BEST House: Interior Stud Framing How To

In this episode of the BEST House, I take you thru the entire interior stud framing process. Lots of how to information if you will be tackling a similar job in the future.

Let me know what you think about how the BEST House is coming together. Also, I will do a video showcasing the electrical and plumbing rough in soon so make sure to subscribe and follow along if that interests you.

I have found that making "Plumbing walls" 2x6, instead of 2x4 walls saves a lot of headaches at all stages of framing and finishing.

Satisfaction level 10 when the plumbing slid right through the bottom plate

Dang! Who ever gets to hire this man is one very fortunate client! Passionate and experienced! Well done Sir and thank you for sharing your way of doing things with the rest of us🙏🇨🇦. 👍💯😊

My man is channeling the spirit of Bob Vila. The attention to detail of a true craftsman is a joy to watch.

[matthewcairns]

Really appreciate the new camera guy. Definitely feels more natural to watch, and we’re able to get a much better picture of what’s going on as he pans around and follows you. It’s gotta be nice to not have to set up every shot on a tripod now too lol. Keep up the great work!

On a whim I ran a bead of wood glue between my king and jack studs on some framing I was doing a while back. The door with the glued king/jack ended up being seriously more sound than the others. I've been glueing ever since!

Most contractors don’t give two cents about the other trades coming in after them. Nice to see you set yourself up for finish work by marking studs on the floor plate.

[davidmarr]

We used to do a lot of finished basements where you can't tip up a wall, we used metal stud track top and bottom, deep leg at the top so you don't need to measure every stud, then just screw them in from the sides of the track. Not as pretty as what you guys did, but seems a bit easier to do. You can get slotted track to attach under trusses to cope with bottom chord deflection.

Thanks for the videos Kyle and Greg.. It's a shame that comments have made it so that you defend you methods. Your work is premium quality and it's privilege to be able to see how you do it.. in detail with excellent explanations, precision and speed.

[coreymenning]

Yep, never fails... outta nails. That would be a great t-shirt. Nice job as usual Kyle and Greg!

[jonnyw]

I love high quality craftsmanship. These guys are masters of their craft.

[mikerider]

Love my paslode, but hate the nail capacity. Great work as always. I love the perfectionist in you, always turning out quality builds.

[tonymeier]

I love these videos. I come from a metal and welding background but all the same principles apply with plumb and square. Awesome job guys.

The new version of This Old House, Awesome.

Love it! That laser sure makes stuff easy! As an electrician, the only downside I can see to those exterior nailers over the Siga, is 1 1/2” doesn’t allow for common Carlon receptacle and switch boxes. You could use shallow boxes, but then I’d be concerned about box fill. Seems fine for the ceiling if all you are doing for lighting is wafer lighting, but it could be a bit of a pain for the walls. I’d love to see a video after the mechanicals are done but before drywall to see how they did it!

Hey bro. I come from multiple generations of framing. I framed my first house on my own at 19 years old. I’m now 43. Just want to say yall do great work, and I couldn’t agree more Lazers are awesome.

[shenlonggohan]

Great video as always. I think a video detailing which fasteners you use in the various girts, posts, sheathing, ties, etc, would do well. I know they're scattered among all your videos; I'd watch a consolidated video 20 times. It would be very useful.

[PD]

If you use the 30 degree angle of the gun it’s the perfect toe nailing for nailing jacks to king studs. Just lay the gun flat each time you nail, instead of finding the angle each time.

Dynamic shots! Credits to the camera operator. We usually use 6” walls when keeping plumbing.

Love me that laser! Two guys pulling string lines running around with levels and nothing was square or plumb. I do it all alone, quickly and perfect. Great video!!
