Wall framing creates spaces for plumbing, electrical, and heating and cooling systems—and with the proper techniques, it can help cut energy consumption by allowing room for extra insulation. This program explains wall framing, with detailed information on chalking; cutting the stock plate; laying out the walls; cutting the lumber to size; preassembling the wall components; assembling, raising, bracing, and plumbing the walls; and nailing the cap plates. Tips on safety, tool use, and green building are provided throughout. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide is available online. A Shopware Production.
