To frame a basement wall, you will want to follow these general steps:
1. Position the bottom plate, top plate, and wall studs in place.
2. Mark the stud spacing (16" on center) on the top and bottom plate.
3. Cut your basement wall studs to length and position them in place between the top and bottom plate.
4. Nail the studs to the top and bottom plate using a framing nailer.
5. Lift the wall into place.
6. Secure the bottom plate to the basement floor using tapcon screws.
7. Secure the top plate to the floor joists above using a framing nailer.

I just got 89k estimate for my 700sqft basement and that’s why I’m here
I’m here because they wanted 40k
Am here coz they want $9k for a 12 X 12 feet room
You didn’t leave an air gap and therefor you’ll have frost and moisture build up on the insulation and surface mold behind your walls. When building off concrete walls you need 6.5” to surface of drywall with a 2x3 framed to give you enough space behind the wall to have what I call mixing air where your hot air that’s escaping the house will hit the wall where the cold air is penetrating the concrete wall from the outside in and with no mixing air space you will cause too much temperature difference in one specific area and thus moisture build up and surface mold. Rest of the video seems fine. Your walls could also start frosting on the inside of the drywall too if you have a newer home and is really air tight…
I would recommend not using tape to seal foam. From experience, tape will come undone over time. Leave a small gap and spray foam.
I got £5k estimate for my 86 sqft. Thats why I am here also
It never made any sense to me to hang the drywall horizontally in a situation like this. If you hang them vertically you have zero butt joints.
This dude would of been done and 16 on center every time 😅
The rigid foam prices are flat out robbery
Somebody really beat you down about the framing, didn't they? You mentioned it in every minute of the video. Lol. Maybe it was you beating yourself up. Either way, this video is very helpful. Thanks!
Did you mean 1 and 1/2" + 1 and 1/2" = 3"???
This is what everything needs. The way you present and edit your videos is key to learning. Whether it's nursing or car repair, your formula works. I love watching your videos.
thank you for your videos I have an unfinished 2500 sf. basement. you gave me to encourage
Framing my basement right now. Thanks for this great video!
A lot of planning goes in to this, for sure! I could never remember all these instructions! Cheers! Gonna be a cold 🥶 weekend!
Great explanation, thank you!
Great video, as usual. I just thought you were 'teaching' us how to frame 1 stud at a time since you already demonstrated how to pre-construct on the ground then lift whole wall. And I thought you brother was not at home that day, ergo easier on your back to lift 1 2x4 at a time that 12 of them. All in all its a great job and great improvement for your home too. Merry Christmas Andrew.
Awesome vid. Helps a lot. Unfortunately I have no space in my basement to build the wall on the ground due to posts located in inconvenient places. So have to frame in place much like this
Thanks!
Great video
