How to Build a Temporary Wall (With Metal Studs)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 окт 2017
- Lauren and I decided to continue living with Lauren's Mom until our second baby is a little older. In the meantime we need to turn one bedroom into two.
I built a temporary partition wall (complete with lighting and HVAC) for about $350. What makes this wall temporary? I can dismantle it in an afternoon with only 9 screw holes to fill after I'm done.
I forgot to mention in the video I installed a smoke detector in Hudson's side of the room.
Want to learn to make plans like I did in the video?

Wow, never seen a kid so excited about going for a nap. 😁
+Andreas Koepke he takes his sleep very seriously!
Man, having a child love his bed and look forward to nap times is worth a bar of gold! So cute!
Love how you show all the errors! Your attitude had me in stitches !!!! Great tenacity!! I came to see how I may build a wall and learned I could laugh in the process 🙏🤣
thanks for sharing! Just the video i needed to see - planning on building a wall/ door for our living room so my grandmother can move in and have her own space!
First of all, insted of using a mounting tape, use a special acoustic insulating tape. The tape mounted between the walls and flors reduce noise, sounds and vibrations. The second case. The wall has no sound insulation. I use mineral wool.
I’ve been searching for this exact video for a baby’s room! Thank you
Okay, your kiddo stole my heart.
Great work also!!! Looking to do something like this for my mother in love. Great post!
Wow the time goes so fast.I remember when you waited for Hudson to be born. It meens that i followed you for more than 2 years. i wish you all the best, and hope your business with the rent house/garage goes well
+Jan-Roar Bernhardsen time flies! Thanks for sticking around 😊
I wish my kids would go night night so easily like that! Love the room. My girls want their own bedroom and trying to figure out the best way to do it. Good idea!
Great video! This is exactly what I needed to watch! Thank you for posting!
Wow that was great work and little Hudson is growing up fast. Congrats on the pregnancy and new business warehouse which we look forward to seeing more videos on.
Perfect 👌👍 just what I was looking for thanks guys!!!!
Nice. I might try metal studs. Great video.
The excitement for the nap is hilarious! I had never really thought about metal studs being cheaper than framing in wood, I may look into that with our next project. I am building out a video editing area in our garage, while still keeping it as useful project space and have to build a small amount of wall for it. The end product looks great, and I bet Hudson loves having hsi own space, especially as he gets older.
I did industrial drywalling for a couple weeks right before school started. With 35 foot long metal studs and its such an easy concept but little things get in the way. Doubling up on door frames and high contact areas of stress is above standard practice, along with drywall screws every 12 inches instead of standard 16 I think it was. Idk I'm glad I did it even tho my hands got cut up, I hated life, and barely knew what I was doing
Bravo on the duct work 👏👏👏
Great video, I just finished building a wall in my garage and I also used the 1 1/2" metal studs and have a regular door for a 2x4 frame, could you be so kind and let me know what do I have to do to make it look like yours after installation? Thank you
Thank you so much can’t wait to do this
Great video, and you’ve explained it well. I look forward to the future projects you’ll be doing. A couple of questions though, how are you planning to remove the rectangle vent since it was so hard for you to even put the screws in? Will you be cutting it to get your drill into the vent to unscrew it? Plus, have you had any problems with the stability of the wall since it was taped at the floor? And one last one, did you have a hard time cleaning the tape marks on the floor after you remove the wall? I am just guessing that you’ve removed the temporary wall already
Watching you struggle to screw in the ductwork was very entertaining. Reminds me of me trying to do work. Haha.
Outstanding you rock dad !
Glad I seen this. I want to build a wall like this in my dinning room to make a butlers pantry with a door in the center that will be wood. Will this wall be strong enough for a swinging door and cabinets on one side and shelves on the other?
Thank you!! This is news I can use!
Very nice job 👍🏼
great job bro!
I loooove this so much thank you! This is sooooo nyc 🙌🏾. I need this for a formal livingroom we do not use and I now need an office. Looooove this. Would you use this in a basement? I don’t want to pay contractors with inflation costs to frame our basement. And I’d like to find a non wood trim way to do framing in a basement.
Thank you
Your kid is adorable great video 🖤
Quick question.
I'm looking to do the same and I too have laminate wood floors. Is having just the tape on the bottom and top enough strength to hold the wall over time?
If you were to screw it into the floor is it possible to patch laminate floors without removing an entire piece?
Thanks, great video!
Awesome video! This is exactly what I was looking for. Except, I want to find a way to not add anything to the bottom panel since the floor is a nice newly finished hardwood floor... Any ideas on ways to get that done? The only thing I can think of is to securely nail the joints of the wall panel to the floor panel. And same for the mid room panel between the top and bottom panels... Just so as to not move the bottom panel. To avoid scratching, I'd just add styrofoam planks fitting in between the bottom panel and the floor. But any better suggestions are welcome!
Great Idea, but could you tell me how solid the door fells when you open and close it? Does it feel just like a regular door or does it feel a little flimsy because of the metal framing? And how has it held up?
You did a great job man! You really made that door trim look brand new again.
Omg I just watched this and need it for 2 of my teenagers to separate. Thank you so much!
Could u do a video on how to get started in learning a new trade
Use the long flexible bit with an angle bit to screw inside the a 90 square boot
Aww super cute xx
I would of liked to see how u did the ceiling did you screw?
Great video, exactly what I want to do. How would you do on carpeted floor without damaging it? Thanks
I feel like Mike and Lauren would do a fantastic job flipping houses... Mikes handy and Lauren could design them? They'd kill it
thanks for the great closing
Did you use insulation? Also,can this be done on carpet?
Inspiring, I want to partially finish a basement room so the kids have a play area.
Where do you get the metal studs? Are they cheaper than wood?
How much of a sound barrier does the walk make ?
That's some Costa Rican carpendry right there! :)
Haha yes it is!
Hi! I’d love to do a project like this for my apartment this year. Would you be able to give me an estimate of cost and time required to complete, and maybe some more detailed instructions/materials list? Thank you so much!,
Just got to the cost part of the video Lolol whoops
What was the name of the
Product you
Used to put
Up the framing?
Thanks a bunch.
Cute kid
Great job. Too cute. Night night
Is that tape really going to hold that wall up and for how long before it collapses?
The cutest baby
Can you try this at an appointment? Not everything just the extra room?
Bad idea with the tape, when you remove it it'll leave stuff stuck. Use 2 wood studs on either end pounded in for ceiling floor pressure and a piece of carpet with the sticky side facing your metal bottom plate and top plate to prevent permanent marks that you'll have to sand off
Me watching this even tho I’m not going to build a wall anytime soon
Do these metal studs really support, they look like can bent very easy.
Another baby coming! Congrats on that. Might need to move the retirement plans down the road a little.
One way to avoid bedroom tax lol 😂
Where are you located Mike/Lauren? I have some work
Is there a way to build a ceiling
How much did it cost to put this together?
Sliding door instead of the regular door, to save space? Just have it slide between the wall studs?
Or a folding door or a curtain.
Do you have a list of parts because I want to do this
Same
As far as noise goes.. how does this wall help with noise
how old is hudson? I'm asking because my 12 month old NEVER is soo eager to go sleep or nap. its like we just follow a schedule where its wake at 6~7am then nap at 9~10am then wake up at 12 then nap again at 2pm then wakeup at 4pm and then sleep time at 7:30pm after bath. and he's mosly either indeferent or angry to go sleep or nap. maybe its just the age or we don't get him into a sleepy mood...i dunno. got any tips for sleep routine? maybe a next video idea :)
mcheddadi me too- I've never ever seen a toddler excited for a nap!!! What's the secret I wonder
Hudson is 21 months old, and only recently started running in for nap time (he has also recently been allowed to take a couple stuffed animals in with him and he loves that). We worked hard on sleep training in the beginning but I think just got lucky that he likes a schedule and has always liked sleep. Right now he's only taking one nap a day so I think that has to do with why he is so eager also.
To be honest, I don't remember too many details about getting him to fall asleep on his own (it might just be that I'm blocking it out too lol), but I think with the next baby I'm going to try to keep track of things and make a video about it.
How long are y’all planning on living there?
+Ian Johnson No plans. We were looking at our own place but decided it didn't make sense to move right before a new baby (my parents also live half a mile away).
is it strong enough with just wall tapes lol
This works great if you have wood floors and a flat ceiling...so what if you have carpet and an angled ceiling?🤷♂️
Tutorial on how to teach your kid to love naps 🤣🤣🤣 jk. Great job on the wall
super
Awww night night
My boys name is hudson too!
Was the top screwed into the ceiling?
My exact question....
it's all held on by double sided tape. Extremely scary build. all that weight is going to fall down on the baby if there's a good size earthquake. that sharp metal piece when it falls on the baby is scary
That's great...but what if you have carpet? 🤷🏻♂️
can you hang a tv on that wall?.i mean a big tv
If you will keep the door closed, you probably need to cut a opening at the bottom of the wall to let the air out for circulation.
I was thinking that, but I'm going to monitor the temps before doing it.
Path of least resistance
What an absolute balls up.
came here for framing ideas
Why not wood?
I am not sure of the building codes in your area, but typically you can't have a bedroom that is accessible from another bedroom. The door should have access to a hallway. Essentially you have put your son in a closet.
Even if the closet bedroom was legal (which I'm doubting), isn't each bedroom required to have a emergency egress window? Now the inner bedroom that is attached to the hallway has no emergency egress window.
Greg you old fuck shut up. besides that I agree. Hopefully their kid doesn't suffocate...
Greg Chaney hey kids were put into dresser drawers and they turned out just fine... Pretty sure Hudson will be a okay.
If that’s true, all railroad apartments are illegal.

How much privacy does a 2 year old need?
+Andy Separation from a crying newborn while napping.
Mike and Lauren - which is why I'm confused you didn't put in any sound dampening .. i guess that would not have helped much since the sound could just travel through the ac vent, correct?
Right, this will block some sound and all light. It's one step up from a curtain, which was the alternative to this idea.
My mother would never let us do this. Great idea though.
I will do this with my apartment and rent it out to 2 and have them pay the same amount as the full apartment each
"With a new baby on the way it's time to split"....end video
So you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the second bedroom?
It's not exactly a second bedroom, but yes.
A bedroom sitting a bedroom. Maybe they'll put another bedroom in the bedroom.
RUclips talk : thee, thee, thee.
My toxic trait is thinking I can do this
Why can’t they share a room, seems a bit of a waste of time and money?
I heard very good opinions about the Stodoys plans.
I know Woodglut has the best woodworking plans.
I do not understand why the kids could not just share the room. Mine did when they were little and we lived in a two bedroom house.
We know a lot of people have their kids share a room and everything works perfect, but we figured since Hudson is such a good sleeper we would try to not disrupt that as much as possible. By the time we leave here we'll probably just have them sleep in one room wherever we end up moving to.
They live in a two bedroom bedroom...
Better yet, don’t have more kids when you don’t have adequate space for them. Seems incredibly irresponsible.
God, I hope there is never a fire. Someone is going to die. I’m glad you lay this all out for your local building inspector to see.
These guys couldn’t have made worse choices at every turn if they tried. Can you imagine if they had just stuck to their original plan and kept socking money in the stock market? They would be retired by now. Instead they cashed out at exactly the wrong time during a historic bull market. Whatever your instincts are just do the exact opposite and you’ll come out ahead. 😂 I would be kicking myself if I was you
Jim Smith wtf are you talking about
Why not just build the entire room from caulking? It would save time later. Wouldn't have to caulk all the shitty work. Since its all caulk.
Hmmm... I am gonna go out on a limb here and guess that you did not get any permits for this with your local city, county or state offices...because I can tell you that this is not up to code.
