Great job. This video shows the correct way to to build a basement from 1984. No amount of incense burning will be able to hide that damp, musty smell once the the wood and insulation start to wick moisture through the concrete. People, use sill gasket and PT lumber for your bottom plate if going directly over concrete. Install 2" ridged foam on the concrete walls so your studs are never in contact with a porous material. We knew this back in 2010 - not sure why this video was even produced.
What a beautifully done book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxo4aMFkUegBx-KHPIJlfwKPHu7kQXAR9N ! The text and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Joseph Truini got another winner! No one does it better! Love the Cape Cod Shed with the Blue door!
I like to think these guys are life partners and this is how they address each other on a daily basis. This is also the tone they use when they argue with each other.
"Hey Chris, now I'm gonna give you a reach around." "Sounds good Chuck, let's get started!" Chuck and Chris proceed to put on safety glasses and ear protection.
Powder Actuated Nailer would make anchoring that bottom plate to the floor MUCH easier. In case anyone was wondering. Got the $80 "Gun" version. Best cash I've spent in a LONG time. Nice video!
Nice video fellows. In our basement...we refered as "The weeping walls." We framed it out then stapled heavy plastic to these boards. Once the framing was up we applied the insulation then the dry wall. After 7 years we refer it as Dry Wall, no more weeping walls, no mold, no moisture seepage on the floor. etc. By the way we didn't apply for a permit...we also built a large, no power shed with without a permit. 10 years and it is still standing!
Great video! but I think should be nicer if they at least let us know their names. Its hard to understand a video when you do not know the name of the guys in it.
All depends what part of the world your in. That would not meet code in my area but in warmer climates its probably fine. I still think even if it did meet code I would not want wood on concrete anywhere in my place.
At school, I learned to put 1 inch gap between concrete wall and frame to avoid contact (moisture) and to put thicker fiberglass insulation to reach the concrete (using R13(3,5in) for 2x3 stud framing) to keep this area completely filled. My question is: is it right to put fibergrass insulation in contact with the concrete wall?
The information he is going to need is: A) How do I get the black mold filled insulation back out and thrown away six months from now? B) What to I do when the floor heaves and bows my upper floor because we nailed the wall tight with no gap (even shimmed it to insure contact)? Is it too late to put down the Trex plate under the wall so moisture cannot wick up into the bottom plate (which should be pressure treated)? Can we insulate the rim joists from the outside, or should we just wait until we tear out the walls to get rid of the mold and do them then? A few rolls of Delta FL would go along way on the floor too Chuck to keep out the moisture--and you can build your walls right on it, no need for Trex or pressure treated (walls cannot be load bearing). Please stick to the compressed air CH, you do that well, but this job was a disaster...
I agree about the gap at the top of the wall. A lot of people think it needs to be shimmed tight like this video. No! I always make the wall quarter to half inch short. The nails easily bridge that gap and the wall is perfectly secure.
problem with delta MS is the moisture stays under that and can build up mold on the basement floor anyway and cause musty smell even worse. normally you have enough gap for it to air out, but unless you do a calcium chloride test you'll never know if it's going to work as you expect. second problem is if there's a leak you won't know about it.
Nice install even got the insulation on the right way paper on hot moisture side (inside of basement) . The nail gun sure makes it much more easier looking then a hammer / nails manually installs.
some major issues here. first of all, you need a vapour barrier between the sole plate and the concrete or else that wood is going to mold. Also, batten insulation is a no-no in a concert basement, it's going to be mold city, you need to use vapour barrier at minimum but better would be closed cell Styrofoam. you need Styrofoam insulation on the top concrete sill too.
Wow I cant believe all the comments that some people are making, The guys did a very good job by show step by step on how to frame a wall, and I guess he was asking Chris to do all those so that it will be very easy on people like me who has no idea of how to frame a wall....................... GOOD JOB GUYS
Most awkward host/guest interaction..."Back to you Chris!" "Thanks Chuck, back to you." Oh, just FYI. Not really a tutorial on how to frame walls....properly at least. Terrible product marketing and not the most efficient methods. I do not recommend this video for anyone looking to frame their basement walls. But for comedy...I highly recommend this!
This is an interesting and concise educational video. I mean it's not trying to disguise that it's an educational video, and that's fine too. I think it works out quite well.
Can you explain me why do you do framing or shrink someting what is already in visible finish structure? For theese types of concrete walls there is no need to frame them
These guys are obviously not Bob Villa with a million-dollar production crew, but hey, I watched the entire video and learned a few things. Will I do it exactly the same way? No. But for those of us searching for videos like this to learn, remember we searched for this video AND watched it and can learn from the critiques in the comments. Thanks for posting, Chris. Sounds good, Chuck!
was instructed by sheetrock hanger/finisher to not tack insulation to the face of the stud, rather to the sides. the batt still fits and does not protrude and the sheetrock has a smooth surface to be attached to.
One question regarding moisture and possible future mold concerns. I've been told there should be a few inches left between the back of the stud and the masonary wall to allow some air movement to avoid a moisture. Also, what's the code say about vapor plastic barriers? Does the paper backed insulation cover that issue. Another school of thought is to use the non paper backed insulation. Whats your opinion on that?
Great video. My question is in my unfinished basement the builder put up insulation. There is no framing but there is insulation that looks like aluminum foil anchored into the concrete walls. The builder is Ryan Homes and wanted to know if I still should put insulation up?
4:05s onward is a major no-no with framing nailguns or any nailer. No part of the hand should be placed in front of the muzzle or near enough proximity. It's green shield workboots ball & heel bracing each plate & stud junction, like traditional framing, only using a nailgun to gun back instead of a framing hammer. These guns can shoot nails into concrete and that's 100s of feet/sec velocity. If the hand is in front of the muzzle and something goes wrong, and these things happen, it's a painful trip to the ER. At about 6:05s, after Chuck the contractor confused level for plumb, calls the 2x4 fastened to the concrete a "sole plate". It's a sill plate because sills sit on concrete, while soles go on wood. Basement stud walls don't require a sill plate. The bottom plate only needs a gasket to keep the lumber dry, saving on material. Looks like Chris doesn't want receptacles in that wall. I don't know where this video was filmed, but bag insulation went out in the mid-1970s. Paper and basement foundation cinder block are incompatible.
there's quite a few things you left out Chuck like seal gaskets between the bottom plates and concrete, never heard of glue or double plating the bottom although that is not a big deal. The measurement for wall height should be taken in at least 3 places along the length of the wall and use the smallest dimension minus 1/4''. Also pay attention to the backer placement at the end of your walls used to tie into the other walls. there's more but i'm tired of typing
I'm a total amateur but am smart enough to realize that there are multiple errors/problems with this demonstration. Hopefully not too many people use this video as a resource.
Use bridging across joists. So if a top plate lands parallel to and between joists first nail several 2 x 4's perpendicular to the joist so that they bridge or connect the 2 joist (about every 24"). Then you can fasten the top plate to the 2 x 4. Also use steel studs instead of wood and ridged foam board instead of fiberglass insulation.
Hey Chris you’re sweating like you know what you’re doing. Hey Chuck it’s cause you taught me thanks so much now my daughters friends can come over and enjoy it even more.
hey thanks for posting but i have couple of questions, why is it that you left a space on the left side you didnt make it flush with the cement wall? why is it that u put that 2x4 different then the others at the left corner?
My question is, what do you do if you don't have any floor joist exposed above you? Im trying to frame out one side of my garage wall which is block and the ceiling is plaster. So would you simply measure to the top of the ceiling and nail into that or???
I can't read the comments when I watch this on my TV so I came here on my phone just to read about all the things they did wrong. I've never finished a basement before, but even I knew that they needed electrical and a vapor barrier. They remind me of myself. Lots of great tools, and they have no clue what to do with them.
how come you didn't use the 3,4,5, method and a plumb bob to accurately square up the walls? In the video you assume the foundation walls are all 90 corners and simply measure 3.5" off of them. How can you be sure you will not run into problems as you frame up the rest of the basement? You also did not leave space for a second overlapping top plate in the corner. How you plan to put in the other frame?
So I had a family member argue with me about this project in my basement. There are MANY different ways to do this and there’s pros and cons to each method it seems. I have a block wall foundation and decided to do it this way with stud framing and putting rolled insulation between the suds and wiring in outlets. My family member argued with me to get 1x3” furring strips and drilling them into the block wall, putting insulation board between all the furring strips and leaving about six inches from the floor in case it gets wet. The problems I see with doing it their way is the insulation board will be more expensive AND less effective, you can’t wire in outlets, drilling concrete block that many times is more work and a pain, and will look very tacky with a gap six inches off the ground.
Came for the tutorial, stayed for the fantastic acting, great eye contact, and friendly nature of the video. I'm also convinced that Chris is a robot.
"That be great!"
Hahahahahhaah
Great job. This video shows the correct way to to build a basement from 1984.

We knew this back in 2010 - not sure why this video was even produced.
And always make sure to put a plastic vapor barrier over everything to trap that moisture in the wall. Definitely don't want it getting out.
Hey Chris, hope you didn't want any electrical in that wall. Sounds great chuck.
omg. lmfao!!
Good point!
hahahahahaha amen
Lmaoooo! This just made me laugh so hard.
Funniest thing on RUclips today. I laughed so hard.
What a beautifully done book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxo4aMFkUegBx-KHPIJlfwKPHu7kQXAR9N ! The text and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Joseph Truini got another winner! No one does it better! Love the Cape Cod Shed with the Blue door!
Hey Chris....no need to run wires. Ok chuck....I'll use candles....good idea Chris.....thank you chuck!!!
These comments get me weak af, These dumbasses couldn't even put in a lightbulb right 😂
Oh c'mon they are using wireless receptacles nowadays, just like wi-fi Internet.
I check this video every few months to just to read the new comments.
Sounds good, Chuck.
Chris caught Chuck cheating on his wife, and he's blackmailing Chuck into finishing his basement or he'll tell Chuck's wife.
Thanks for hav-- coming chuck.
Hajahhaha
hey chris, there's not moisture barrier between the cement and the insulation. sounds great chuck.
Rookie error, I stopped watching after that first, major mistake.
Im about to frame my basement. Came for some knowledge. Glad I read the comments....
Same
@Lon Lonzinski Lol🤣🤣🤣
I like to think these guys are life partners and this is how they address each other on a daily basis. This is also the tone they use when they argue with each other.
I’ve watched a lot of construction, woodworking and electrical work videos, how did I miss this gem?
the eye contact and first name use is phenomenal
I like 5:12 ; "And pull the tigger...*looks deep into Chuck's soul*"
😂😂😂😂
Installing the shims:
"Little further, little further, little further."
Legend has it, 5 hours of footage was cut from this section of the video.
not near enough likes for this comment
Brilliant!
They married shortly after this video, and now own and run a bed & breakfast in Vermont.
LMAO 😂
too funny
LOL, You guys got me crying with these comments!!
💀
Sounds great
Hey Chris, I found this R13 paperback insulation from 1954, I thought it would be perfect for your basement. Sounds great Chuck.
I'm dead ahahah
Funny my house was built in 1954 and it has R10 paperback batt lol
hey chris! "we both don't know how to finish a basement!" sounds about right chuck!
shytown hahhaahah right hahaahahaha
I'm really glad Chris finally came out.
These are the best awkwardness actors i have ever seen before! Well done !
"Hey Chris, now I'm gonna give you a reach around." "Sounds good Chuck, let's get started!" Chuck and Chris proceed to put on safety glasses and ear protection.
Classic
This. Now this got me
Of the Rhodesian variety I assume...
Lmao
Thanks for coming out Chuck....I found your tools make things come a lot faster.
No problem Chris....glad you enjoyed the service.
What were these guys' names?
Who cares. None of them are ever getting hired again after this video. LOL
Jack and Roy I think
@tammy stevesGreat comment Tammy
Thank you Jack
Huh?...
Chuck and Larry
Welcome to the Chris and Chuck show! Good job guys - keep it up!
"Chris, do stuff" "Okay Chuck" "Chris, thanks".
hahahaha!!!!!!
jared williams LMAO
Chris is getting real tired of Chuck's suggestive commands.
Right Jared, you are correct Jared, thanks Jared😂
Came here for the tutorial, stayed for the cringe.
lmao same
Why did they need to make it so cringe
Ha lol that's funny
DEAD 🤣
Same here....the cringe is Funny as Hell........PRICELESS!!
Despite many of the negative comments, these men did a great job framing the wall.
Your a joke!
Johnny Caretaker, his what is a joke?
7:49..."Chris, now we're gonna need you to change into a new polo shirt."
"Sounds great, Chuck!"
Powder Actuated Nailer would make anchoring that bottom plate to the floor MUCH easier. In case anyone was wondering. Got the $80 "Gun" version. Best cash I've spent in a LONG time.
Nice video!
WOULDNT THAT START A NEW PROBLEM….CRACKING BASEMENT FLOOR ?
Nice video fellows. In our basement...we refered as "The weeping walls." We framed it out then stapled heavy plastic to these boards. Once the framing was up we applied the insulation then the dry wall. After 7 years we refer it as Dry Wall, no more weeping walls, no mold, no moisture seepage on the floor. etc. By the way we didn't apply for a permit...we also built a large, no power shed with without a permit. 10 years and it is still standing!
What would you do differently if your cinderblock walls have water leaking through them All year round draining to a sum pump.
Great video! but I think should be nicer if they at least let us know their names. Its hard to understand a video when you do not know the name of the guys in it.
...holy messed up...no moisture barrier or non contact protection ! ...still use that paperback insulation ???
All depends what part of the world your in. That would not meet code in my area but in warmer climates its probably fine. I still think even if it did meet code I would not want wood on concrete anywhere in my place.
Somebody, give them Oscars, please!
😅
That sounds great, Chuck!
Sure Chris
😝
Best actor in supporting role
@lifeshort - didn't you see the comment regarding local code requirements.. two is better than one anyway... btw its a sill plate
“Make love to me Chris!” ... “Sounds great”
No it’s “sounds great Chuck” 👀 lol
This is what i was looking for,easy and simple to understand.
Thanks guys
jimmy did a really good job following your directions!! He's pretty handy with a stapler!!
What’s up chuck! Great video love the eye contact, you can really sense your passion for woodworking..
I enjoyed holding your tool, Chuck. Thanks, Chris.
Im supposed to be getting work done, but I just can't stop watching..
TOSS ONE BACK EVERY TIME YOU HEAR "CHRIS" & "SOUNDS GOOD CHUCK"! 🍻
Chris: *bends over* "thats a great tip chuck" 4:18
lololololol

Some good points, except it's amazing to me that you think that the floor is going to move relative to the concrete wall a couple of inches away.
@@metallitech People think everything moves and flexes which is absolutely incorrect.
problem with delta MS is the moisture stays under that and can build up mold on the basement floor anyway and cause musty smell even worse. normally you have enough gap for it to air out, but unless you do a calcium chloride test you'll never know if it's going to work as you expect. second problem is if there's a leak you won't know about it.
“Chuck” - Chris
“What’s that Chris” -chuck
“I love you chuck” -Chris
“Sounds great” -chuck
No vapor barrier chuck? It's awfully steamy in here
Must be fun installing electrical after insulation...
LMAO, right?
Wireless receptacles. New invention.
I came here for the tutorial....but the comments are PRICELESS and Funny as Hell!!!🤣😂
Nice install even got the insulation on the right way paper on hot moisture side (inside of basement) . The nail gun sure makes it much more easier looking then a hammer / nails manually installs.
"Don't worry about the base Chris. It may rot in a few years because it's not treated wood but you'll be on to your next house by then."
“Sounds great Chuck.” 😂
May not be any moisture in the walls, but Chris sure got some back moisture, isn’t that right chuck?
Thanks for sharing, this is the best ever video of framing a wall so far and good detail.
Props to the cameraman who never laughed out loud! I would love to see the blooper reel!
People are hilarious. I’m so glad I watched this. Thanks, Chuck.
And the Oscar goes to... anyone but these guys..
some major issues here. first of all, you need a vapour barrier between the sole plate and the concrete or else that wood is going to mold. Also, batten insulation is a no-no in a concert basement, it's going to be mold city, you need to use vapour barrier at minimum but better would be closed cell Styrofoam. you need Styrofoam insulation on the top concrete sill too.
They also kind of forgot about the electric...
Ok Chris, we have to make sure this wall is good and straight... unlike us. Sounds good Chuck.
Wow I cant believe all the comments that some people are making, The guys did a very good job by show step by step on how to frame a wall, and I guess he was asking Chris to do all those so that it will be very easy on people like me who has no idea of how to frame a wall....................... GOOD JOB GUYS
What's up mame kunadu how's things going for u
This Old House has a video that blows this one away. These guys missed so many important steps.
Good video...but what were their names?
Hey Chris did we measure from top to bottom, no just eye level chuck
Most awkward host/guest interaction..."Back to you Chris!" "Thanks Chuck, back to you." Oh, just FYI. Not really a tutorial on how to frame walls....properly at least. Terrible product marketing and not the most efficient methods. I do not recommend this video for anyone looking to frame their basement walls. But for comedy...I highly recommend this!
Haha, yeah, huh,Ryan Manning?
"10-4 there, Chuck, good buddy!"
"Ahh yeah, copy that, Chris!"
"Uhuh, over and out, Chuck!"
Geeze!
This is a great video. I learned a lot and also was entertained. Thanks, Chuck and Chris!
This is an interesting and concise educational video.
I mean it's not trying to disguise that it's an educational video, and that's fine too. I think it works out quite well.
Chris dont you think the sheetrock gon be place before plastering...sounds great chuck
Can you explain me why do you do framing or shrink someting what is already in visible finish structure? For theese types of concrete walls there is no need to frame them
These guys are obviously not Bob Villa with a million-dollar production crew, but hey, I watched the entire video and learned a few things. Will I do it exactly the same way? No. But for those of us searching for videos like this to learn, remember we searched for this video AND watched it and can learn from the critiques in the comments. Thanks for posting, Chris. Sounds good, Chuck!
John Coddington, which show is Bob Vila on, these days?
I have walled off doorway to the stairs to separate floors. It is safe
to remove the staircase or is it load-bearing and necessary.
was instructed by sheetrock hanger/finisher to not tack insulation to the face of the stud, rather to the sides. the batt still fits and does not protrude and the sheetrock has a smooth surface to be attached to.
One question regarding moisture and possible future mold concerns. I've been told there should be a few inches left between the back of the stud and the masonary wall to allow some air movement to avoid a moisture. Also, what's the code say about vapor plastic barriers? Does the paper backed insulation cover that issue. Another school of thought is to use the non paper backed insulation. Whats your opinion on that?
Hey Chuck, need to use pressure treated lumber for the base plate on concrete
Can’t wait to see the mold grow in that wall chuck
Chuck: Next, we're gonna show you how to dig out part of your basement wall for a convenient place to bury any bodies
Chris: Sounds good, Chuck
Great video. My question is in my unfinished basement the builder put up insulation. There is no framing but there is insulation that looks like aluminum foil anchored into the concrete walls. The builder is Ryan Homes and wanted to know if I still should put insulation up?
easy guys. The video was about framing. electrical and plumbing are separate.
Hey Chris, nice buns. Thanks Chuck!
4:05s onward is a major no-no with framing nailguns or any nailer. No part of the hand should be placed in front of the muzzle or near enough proximity. It's green shield workboots ball & heel bracing each plate & stud junction, like traditional framing, only using a nailgun to gun back instead of a framing hammer.

Looks like Chris doesn't want receptacles in that wall. I don't know where this video was filmed, but bag insulation went out in the mid-1970s. Paper and basement foundation cinder block are incompatible.
Get a life
chris sure is good at the "dear in the headlighs" look, great vid. lotsa help thanks chris
whats the guy in the yellow shirt called again?
there's quite a few things you left out Chuck like seal gaskets between the bottom plates and concrete, never heard of glue or double plating the bottom although that is not a big deal. The measurement for wall height should be taken in at least 3 places along the length of the wall and use the smallest dimension minus 1/4''. Also pay attention to the backer placement at the end of your walls used to tie into the other walls. there's more but i'm tired of typing
I'm a total amateur but am smart enough to realize that there are multiple errors/problems with this demonstration. Hopefully not too many people use this video as a resource.
I like how he was pointing the nailer right at his gut.. that's great chuck.
That sounds great Chuck.
No moisture barrier between the concrete and framed wall?
The starting stud is what distance is it from the from the corner of the side wall
Use bridging across joists. So if a top plate lands parallel to and between joists first nail several 2 x 4's perpendicular to the joist so that they bridge or connect the 2 joist (about every 24"). Then you can fasten the top plate to the 2 x 4. Also use steel studs instead of wood and ridged foam board instead of fiberglass insulation.
Hey Chris you’re sweating like you know what you’re doing.
Hey Chuck it’s cause you taught me thanks so much now my daughters friends can come over and enjoy it even more.
hey thanks for posting but i have couple of questions, why is it that you left a space on the left side you didnt make it flush with the cement wall? why is it that u put that 2x4 different then the others at the left corner?
These guys act about as good as they frame...
@killershiller1 No I obviously missed that. Btw we call it a sole plate
No Poly Vapor barrier?
What's the difference between wood studs and teel studs in a basement. What are the pros and cons?
No vapor barrier and Fiberglass directly on the concrete? Asking for mold problems.
Chris, you can't do anything without me! Sure Chuck, you're my hero. Of course I am, Chris. Sounds good, Chuck.
My question is, what do you do if you don't have any floor joist exposed above you? Im trying to frame out one side of my garage wall which is block and the ceiling is plaster. So would you simply measure to the top of the ceiling and nail into that or???
Yep
Could you frame on the parallel joist if that is exactly where you want your wall? Or do you need to have a block/cat?
I can't read the comments when I watch this on my TV so I came here on my phone just to read about all the things they did wrong.
I've never finished a basement before, but even I knew that they needed electrical and a vapor barrier. They remind me of myself. Lots of great tools, and they have no clue what to do with them.
No vapor barrier behind the insulation?
So the insulation is a sound barrier too? Just asking.
"Hey, Chris, time to beg for your life."
…"Sounds great, Chuck."
how come you didn't use the 3,4,5, method and a plumb bob to accurately square up the walls? In the video you assume the foundation walls are all 90 corners and simply measure 3.5" off of them. How can you be sure you will not run into problems as you frame up the rest of the basement? You also did not leave space for a second overlapping top plate in the corner. How you plan to put in the other frame?
So I had a family member argue with me about this project in my basement. There are MANY different ways to do this and there’s pros and cons to each method it seems. I have a block wall foundation and decided to do it this way with stud framing and putting rolled insulation between the suds and wiring in outlets. My family member argued with me to get 1x3” furring strips and drilling them into the block wall, putting insulation board between all the furring strips and leaving about six inches from the floor in case it gets wet. The problems I see with doing it their way is the insulation board will be more expensive AND less effective, you can’t wire in outlets, drilling concrete block that many times is more work and a pain, and will look very tacky with a gap six inches off the ground.
no insulation and vapor barrior between the cement cold wall and warm interior wall? Can you say mold?
