All right guys we're back for episode three of the series where I'm building this studio house.
I got a little bit ahead of myself as far as filming with the framing so I've already done
quite a bit of it. Small door or small window where the bathroom is going to go. Door right
here three feet with another door right there. It has to be tempered glass when it's close to a door
or within 36 inches of a walkway it's got to be tempered glass. I decided to do two bigger windows
out front to give some more light coming in and I needed an egress window as well so I figured
out I might as well do two big ones make it look symmetrical. I didn't sheet it before I put it
down. I know a lot of people do but it's just me and I have a couple people helping me stand the
framed it first I will sheet it afterwards. I got some braces going here. One thing I want to
mention that I ran into over here as far as layout is I almost put one of the windows over the range
oven so every step of the way make sure that you're conscious of what the next step is going to
right so your plumbers want to be conscious of the electricians your concrete guys want to be
conscious the plumbers the excavators want to be conscious of the concrete guys each step requires
awareness of the other trades and what else is going to happen on the project so make sure
that you check those boxes off if you're doing something like this especially if it's new to you
pretty simple I have a 16 on center layout I went a little overboard on the headers just to make
sure everything's good to go two jacks and a two by ten for that three two by eights and a jack
two jacks two by ten and then that one's smaller so it gets one jack and three two by sixes for
anchor bolts spaced two feet and within 12 inches of the corners and within 12 inches of a plate
break which would be right here on the bottom and one thing that people sometimes miss that I've
seen before is they'll get the round washers for these anchor bolts I'm going to wait until
everything's square to tighten them down but just so you know you need these square washers they're
not going to pass you without them laying out this right here corner stud 16 on center all the
way down I laid this wall out 16 on center and that wall out 16 on center both running the same
way so they're both running this way if you mix it up and you have to line up your rafters on the
roof you're going to be screwed now I have trusses so it should be fine because the trusses don't
have to fall on a stud but I'd like to have it uniform anyways all right guys show you how I lay
out the walls here bottom plate first I mark all the studs all the kings all the jacks on center
okay and then I come back and I nail in all of the full length studs which are going to be
the normal studs and the king studs because those all go to the top plate so then I'll come back
and I'll nail three nails one two three one two three one two three all the way down
I'm using three inch nails that are point uh three one three I think for something like that you can
see it in the IRC and when you look it up in there it will show you the nailing schedule and how many
nails you need to use depending on the size and diameter so I'm using the three inch ones lay out
all the bottom studs then I'll build the header and then from there I will frame out the window
and lastly I will put on the top plate all right so this wall is pretty much ready to stand up and
I'm sure people have plenty of different ways to do this but this is the way I figured it out
now I'm going to double check that everything's 16 on center and everything's square before we
stand it up I've been going and doing it along the way but I'm going to do it once more before
we really do it because this is the last wall I left off about three feet on the end
because when these walls are square it gets really tight and with the difference in the boards it's
hard to lift the wall up all the way so we'll lift the whole thing up and I'll just balloon frame the
last bit at the top I have polyurethane seal sealer on the bottom of the plate
I'm not sure if this is required by code I can't find anything about it but everybody around here
uses it and it makes sense you can pick this up probably at a lumber store quarter inch five and
a half steel plate sealer to fill any gaps for air or insects to come in and I'll try to get a shot
of us standing up the wall too another update for you truss has arrived a couple days ago we're
going to set them tomorrow morning 11 regular trusses and two gables for a 24 foot span as you
can see since the last video got up most of sheeting and I got put the blue board on that I
was telling you guys about horizontal sheeting nailing pattern is two inches around all edges
and 12 inches in between which they call the field where all the studs are so two inches around the
edges and where the panels meet or six inches six inches around the edges 12 inches in the field
this will be one firewall this is dens glass one hour firewall two pieces of dens glass that's five
or uh five eights firewall rated sheathing it's like fiberglass drywall so two of these for a
one hour fire wall and the reason I need it here is because it's close to this property line come
back and then I'll need another firewall right here because it's close to this building I actually
already installed the firewall right here I ripped out a window that was there I cut back the eave
and I put the dens glass on the eave in the wall so I'll have two layers here no projections no
windows cut out the windows with a skill saw worked pretty well and then braced everything up internally
this side by side the full span right or one span to get the whole span from end to end we'll keep
it from racking and then this from there there there there there and they're pushing the walls
outwards we'll keep it plumb until we put the trusses on we'll get them up get them braced
probably get the roof sheets on then we can take the braces off and then I will frame the
interior walls just to make sure everything stays square and plump
guys I'm dragging it out so I'm gonna wrap this one up uh the firewall is completely done
there's two sheets of dense glass two sheets of five eights all the way on the soffit
built some ladders for the gable overhang put some blocks in there to carry the soffit
and got everything in the interior done I'm gonna possibly do something like this there
was supposed to be a half wall but it really didn't make sense so I'm gonna do some sort of
bar table I might put it in beforehand or I might finish it and put it in afterwards
we'll see but there will be some sort of bar table or something going
parallel with the wall right there got my tub fit it pretty much exact I got about a quarter
of an inch on each side which is perfect 61 inches by 30 inches so here's the interior walls
this is going to be the washer dryer drain hot water heater water source I think that's the
drain to for the hot water heater my plumbers are actually going to be here tomorrow and then
here's the bathroom tubs gonna go over there toilet vanity sink I'll probably do some sort
of video with electrical plumbing maybe icy roof and take it from there
