Thanks a lot! Yes I’ve noticed a lot of people nail right in the middle between the studs and even I almost always hit the nails when I drill holes for wires. Stay tuned!
Excellent video Josh. You and I were doing the same thing last night, same topic that’s nuts. But we got company so I could not finish my video. Thanks for the video.
Just found your channel and boy am I happy you spent some time editing. Your descriptions, video and workmanship shows nicely. I am currently enclosing my laundry room, putting up a partition wall separating my garage on my house. I have spent so much time searching and learning (which others have been helpful) but I must say you covered many bases explaining the do’s and don’ts like overlapping the top plates, how to corners, where to nail, how many and leaving areas clear for electrical. I have quite a bit of trade experience working in a maintenance atmosphere for decades (but not in home building) would be interested your thought on my adding a partition wall between my laundry room and garage: 1) Do I need to remove a section of 3/8” shear panel (its located in the laundry room which is actually outside section of the house) in order to sister the old studs in the original wall so I can have the partition wall studs connect to it? The reason I am saying this is the new partition wall will set between the studs so there really is nothing to nail to. (I will assume I need to cut the shear wall, add necessary studs, and replace the shear panel leaving 1/8” gap around joints for expansion and finish with 2” & 8” nailing which is what I have. (Seems weird to me since I normally read nailing schedule of 6 & 12). 2) Can partition wall (non load bearing) additions just be nailed to drywall? (This seems like it would not be to code or very stable).
I’m having a hard time visualizing what you are trying to explain. I think I get it. You could connect the partition wall with brackets to the studs that are already there if nailing directly to the wall is not an option. I appreciate your comment and how detailed it is though! And if you have to you could remove the drywall and inspect what is behind it if you really have to. Sounds like to me you have a good idea of what to do you just have to experiment a little bit. I hope that helps!
Some walls have different nailing schedules most sheer walls are 6” and 12” I ’ve had to nail some at 3” and 6” lol really not necessary but if it calls it out u have to nail it like that
I use the Dewalt framing nailer 30°. I have had it for 10 years and it works great still. Highly recommend it. Thanks for watching! Let’s get this house done!
Hey, Just found your channel. Thanks for the info. Quick question: Is it a code or requirement to overlap the top plates or is it just a best practice? Thanks in advance for your time!
I spent my Saturday night editing this video. Please hit the like button for me!
Done!
Thanks!
Thanks for the details. Gutting an only converted carport with corner walls and needing nailers for the Sheetrock.
You nailed it - there's few thing more aggravating to a plumber than framing nails in the way of plumbing pipes. Great video.🍻
