I have no intention or will to build a stud wall at the moment, but that was so satisfying to watch :)

Just extended my kitchen pantry following your instructions and example. Thank you.

For the studs going against a plasterboard wall and plasterboard ceiling would I use the regular wood screws or for those studs I would need plasterboard specific screws? Thanks, nice and simple video

Its simple, and very detailed, even on how to screw the middle stud perpendicular to the top and base,

I have cork board floor tiles - could I drill straight into them?

@b&q do you need to secure the ceiling plate to ceiling ?
My ceiling is not concrete by plasterboard . I just want to confirm if I need to screw the the ceiling plate . Thanks

Can i lay a stud wall on top of laminate floor? it's a new floor don't say i have to remove it plz😒

Excellent, what size wood did you use? It says 89 x 38, what about the width?
Note for me:

Calculate lengths of base and ceiling plate with chalked lines. Ensure plumb.
Cut ceiling and base plate,
Stack base and ceiling plate on floor to measure the vertical studs.
Secure base plate.
Mark centre of base plate. Mark placement of vertical studs from there.
Dry fit the ceiling plate and vertical studs in place. Ensure plumb.
Secure vertical studs at 45 degree angle.
Secure ceiling plate.
Mark noggins every 1200 mm
Secure noggins at alternate heights, 45 degree angle.
Drywall scews 32 mm

3 inch wood screews (7.6 cm)

I cant seem to find any 3 inch wood screws which would you suggest 75mm or 80mm wood screws please?

What would I do if my wood is warped a lot and I don't have anything else?

[gzxklair]

You make it look so easy 😭 I’d bring the house down if I tried 😂

[MrAas]

Would it be best to remove hardwood floor where the floor plate will be before screwing it in? Thanks!

[zeldagoblin]

What! They're actually called noggins?? I thought my dad made that up! 😂

How did you fix the ceiling plate to the the ceiling? Looks like you just screwed into the plasterboard?
