How To Frame a Window and Door Opening

Check out our wood stud wall framing video, it shows a little more detail about the actual marking out of the stud locations.

My husband reminded me this morning that we started building our house 2 years ago. We moved in a little over a year ago. Yes it took a good year to build before we could move in. We built it with our own hands, every board and nail. The only worker we hired was the electrician. I give thanks to this channel and a couple of others for the advice, skills, and techniques they share. After moving in, we added 2 porches, and a guest room. We have a wonderful PAID FOR house now that we will enjoy for the rest of our lives.

This is the video I've looked everywhere for! I'm a single mom trying to enclose a garage by myself. Your video answered every question I have. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to do such a great video. Thank you!

This is the simplest explanation of framing and the different stud types - it now makes sense! Thank you.

Shannon, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate these instructional videos. As a guy who didn't work in construction at any time in my life, your explanations are clear and very informative. Thank you for taking the time to share your extensive knowledge with us.

Wow your videos are really helpful and shown in a way that someone with very little knowledge (me) can understand! Thanks!

Thanks Shannon. Because of your videos my husband & I just built and installed a 4x8 garden closet on the end of my garden shed. We used screws to put it basically together then got a low-end framing nailer (which is amazing) and secured everything. It is square and level. I won't say it was easy for us, but it is a very solid structure. Rafters next! Thanks again! Jean & Ken.

Thank you. I watched your video on decking and learned so much. My own decking project turned out more than ok as a result. Next big project is the shed, and this helps so much!

Keep making these videos Shannon. I appreciate people like yourself who are willing to share your knowledge.

I have watched lots of other videos and yours seem to always address the details that are needed that the others gloss over.  Great job, and I will definitely watch yours first as I encounter each stage of my projects.  Thanks!
