    In NYC, I prefer 2x4s with the metals to make the wall stronger when securing the sheetrock. Also, I used Durock all around from the floor to 3 feet and the rest of the wall, using mold resistand drywall to finish the wall. If your good a taping, no one can know the difference when you finally finish the wall. Plus, in case you have any water backups, you dont have to worry about mold and mildew issues when the place drys.
    Last but not least, I use cermaic tiles in a basement for fear of water backups and since its much easier to clean and maintain.
    I love your videos. I just added you on the gram and I can't wait to start my own basement project or projects.

    Job well done here. I did a complete bathroom remodel for my daughter's home using the same sheetrock material you have used & bought locally. I used a conventional 3/8" variable speed DeWalt drill for my screws & got pretty good at after some practice setting the screw depth correctly. Absolutely nothing wrong with using the steel studs on this project, came out beautiful. The sheetrock work I did was my 1st major sheetrock project as it came out gorgeous doing it the old school way, priming & painting it with a roller... ( I also installed 2" thermax, reflection on both sides between the original native cut studs that were laid flat. )... ( She has a quite & warm bathroom now )... ( She is also one happy camper... )
    Excellent presentation here & I thank you.

    Great video. Checking with a local inspector about requirements is a great idea and can avoid having to re-do the job in the future. I'm getting ready to move into a new house with an unfinished basement in an area where I'm totally unfamiliar with the code, so checking with an inspector is a must. It's really confusing about the need for a vapor barrier, but an inspector should be able to clear this up.

    Since the walls aren't structural you can save on material by going 24' on center with the steal studs! And next time when using a sprayer do all the corners and edges first then fill in the middle it makes it look much better and it speeds up the process as well

    I just finished painting my basement with a similar paint sprayer. I went top to bottom instead of side to side though, and it made it much easier to do a 2-tone wall with a chair rail, and it came out great! I love the indoor project / renovation work, hope we get to see more of this!
    Also, I grew up with GWP's at home, and Oots looks just like my old family dog Beemer (His official name was Bristle Mouthed Will, or BMW, so Beemer seemed appropriate!).

  • @DavidGalan777
    @DavidGalan777 4 года назад +2

    Great video. Nice work. BUT 2 you do need vapor barrier against block wall because any moisture seepage will condense on drywall (unless you live in the desert) and with metal studs you have R-0 insulation every 16". You'd see it clearly on a thermal imager.

    Missed putting vapour barrier under the bottom plate of the framing.... Also should have backrolled the paint if you are spraying, at the very least the final coat....you also should have used different sizes of knives for drywall mud, 4" to tape, 8" second coat, 10/12" for final.

    @curtis6252 3 года назад

    For all the people saying he's cutting the studs upside down or installing them the wrong way, it's irrelevant which way you put them as long as they're all the same. One thing I'll say though for anyone looking to do this; don't get self tapping screws if you're working with light gauge material. You want just a fine thread wafer or pan head type framing screw and same goes for when you drywall onto light gauge studs. Just a fine thread drywall screw. Also take advantage of the framing and stand your sheets up to make the taping easier, faster, and have a more plumb wall in the end.

    Years ago I finished a basement using steel studs and swore I'd never use wood in this application again. Like you said, everything is straight and consistent. Also, NO sawdust! Instead of screwing the studs onto the top and bottom plates, I used the screws into the horizontal drywall to keep everything rigid and square. I set the drywall on a 1x3 to space it off the floor, then laid out lines 16 o.c. on the drywall. All I needed to do was to locate the bottom screw on each stud, plumbed it, and followed the vertical line up the drywall to locate the screws. The weight of the drywall and the tight fit into the top and bottom plates held everything in place.

  • @JesseMulcahy
    @JesseMulcahy 4 года назад

    Was super impressed that you were competent in steel and wood.... Then you used the steel studs upside down and cut off the bottom of the stud. Also with steel studs you screw the soft side of the stud first so the the studs do not rock and make the joint at the seam uneven. Otherwise exceptional job.

  • @acwoodworks4987
    @acwoodworks4987 5 лет назад

    If u use a razor knife to score the back side of the track/stud u can cut each side and fold it back and forth and it will leave a nice cut. Also u can drill through the metal track because a masonry bit is well hardened as long as it’s not heavy gauge track. Not trying to knock ur work just trying to help. Great job.

    Would have been nice to see how you addressed the steel studs top plate on that outside window wall. Looked like there was some kind of bracket, but you didn't even mention those. Also, overspray into areas you don't want paint is something to mention. Those carpeted stairs surely got some paint on them. I've used Wagner sprayer inside before and litteraly every little thing that wasn't protected got paint specks all over them, even things the sprayer never got near. Any comments would be appreciated.

    Painting with a sprayer machine leaves an uneven texture unless you level 5 all the walls. Also, if you would've roll the 2 coats of paint, future touch ups and repaints will be much easier, also sanding walls is essential after priming for the perfect paint bond, and unwanted textures. Cool video! Keep it up!!!!

      And when you spray the walls, you should always backroll them. Spray tips are really faulty and will leave lines.

    I must admit I was so excited when you posted the video saying that you were quitting your job to do RUclips full time.
    Since then it almost seems like your vids are further and further apart and less and less related to actual woodworking.
    The last woodworking video was a month ago, and the last 2 have revolved around construction
    Im one of your biggest supporters, I have referred so many woodworkers in Facebook forums to your videos, but I gotta admit - you’re losin my interest.
    There are literally thousands of videos about framing a basement on RUclips. People follow you for your incredible skill with woodworking, handtools and the cinematography that you bring to your vids.
    It’s worth pointing out that we were promised a video showing the detailed construction of the drawers on your recent desk build, but that hasn’t happened yet.
    I have to assume all of the footage was already shot for that vid it just needed to be compiled and published... where is it?
    Sorry if this is too critical, honestly you are (were) one of the best woodworking channels on RUclips. I understand that you have sponsors now, but you’re going to lose subs, in my opinion, if you don’t start posting some of the types of vid that made you popular enough to get those sponsors in the first place.
    Sorry Chris. I just really want to see some of the great vids that made me subscribe to you (on 3 different RUclips accounts) in the first place, and recommend you to dozens and dozens of my peers over the years.

      Bryan I appreciate your support and comment very much. Just bare with me I will get back to the woodworking projects, I have tons of then lined up. I needed to do this basement remodel and i figured I could make some
      Content while doing it as well. I will have other home improvement type video this summer as well as do some of those projects that I need to do. It’s not what I want to be doing but have to. If you stick around you will see some cool stuff. Thanks again for the support

    Very informative video thank you. Helped me decide to go with metal over wood. Q, if I'm hanging cabinets, will the metal be strong enough, or should I reinforce with some diagonal wood studding, also what width is the metal studs, 3 5/8 ?. Thanks again.

    The approximate home value finishing your basement adds does not always equal the construction costs. So just be aware people, finishing your basement doesn't always return on investment, it's normally a convenience of life and enjoyment project while you're living in the space.

    Great video. Question I saw on another video where the contractor recommended to use 2x4 on the floor then to lay the metal frame boards on top. Just in case of water issues in the future. Thoughts on this. I have new construction and we have sump pump and back up cause we live in a water prone area. I mean the chances
    Of any flooding or seeping unlikely but wanted to throw that in there

    Im pretty sure he put the paper upside down. There is a little ridge on the paper, and it goes IN the mud. This way when you sand the mud after, you wont cut the paper on the ridge with the sand paper !! Good job nonetheless !! Also when doing corners, you simply fold ON the ridge gives you a nice 90 degrees.

    It’s much faster and more efficient to layout everything first for top track and bottom track. Then once you finish doing layout you cut and install all your top and bottom track. once tracks are all installed you pull 16 oc layout for studs(use a laser) layout doors widows then install studs. It’s much faster to frame metal that way instead of the way you’ve shown. But hey it turned fine. But could have saved a lot of time doing it a little more efficiently

    • @DaMadDad

      24” if you wanna be cheep and do low quality work. Most basement exterior walls aren’t load baring, I’ve always framed 16 OC on all walls unless specified in plans and I’ve never seen 24” layout for walls on any plans in my 12 years of framing. The only time a 24” layout is mainly used is ceiling drops, soffit or trusses. If I was a home owner and saw my walls built 24 oc I’d either fire him and get a new contractor or make him do it right. Not to mention the inspection probably wouldn’t pass, at least in my city

      @@DaMadDad Working down in Australia and Nz, we did 24 (600's) all the time. I only ever do 16 here in canada but the extra 8 inches will literally make zero difference in this scenario. I don't think anyone's going to be running through the wall any time soon.

      Here in America we don’t frame walls 24” on anything other then a shed. 24” layout would cut a lot of time and money I agree, it does give you less backing for mounting things tho, but all in all if it’s non load barring 24” layout I don’t disagree with. Inspectors and home owners would disagree here. Also I It just looks more quality and complete when you do 16 OC I feel

    We might be buying a commercial building and converting it to residential. It is cinderblock walls in part of the building. We might hang drywall. We have priced the metal studs. I am confused though, why they would be the better option over wood studs. They are more expensive than wood. And they are very flimsy. Why would you choose metal studs over wood. Thanks to anyone who might see this and give me advice.
