Title: how to frame a wall 16 inch on center

Description:
Bob Schmidt shows you how and why to lay-out a wall during construction to a standard 16 inch on center lay-out. When laying out a top and bottom plate for a typical wall a framing square is usually the most appropriate tool. To begin, flush up top & bottom plate ends, hook tape on flush ends. The first measurement is 15 1/4 inches to side of first stud placement. Each corresponding measurement should be 3/4 of an inch shy of stud marks on typical tape measure. This will give you studs that are on 16 inch center layouts. Sixteen inch center layouts are important for several reasons: many building materials are designed to fit in a 16 inch layout, ie. insulation, medicine cabinets some tile backing inserts & ironing board inserts; when installing cabinets or trim ie. crown, baseboard, these materials need to be attached to framing. If you stay true to 16 inch centers, all you really need to do in a wall is find the first stud and the rest of the studs in the wall are always multiples of 16 inches away. Another consideration when framing a wall is to match the existing structure as far as floor joist layouts, so as to allow space to run heat ducts, plumbing pipes, wiring to electrical panels, without having wall studs in the way and saving you time and money.

Mar 12, 2012 - can you make a video to show what your talking about or remake this one? everyone and there dog are teaching center to center starting with the first stud which is contrary to what your teaching.

Mar 12, 2012 - Interesting that you asked. I am planning on purchasing a HD camera and was planning on remaking many of my videos This may well be the first one! I stand behind my video as being a proper way of starting a lay-out at 15 1/4 then set stud ahead! It is truly not that difficult to understand why all you have to consider are standard material sizes! +++Bob

Mar 12, 2012 - thanks. I consider myself a rookie, I worked for a contractor for a year and a half and slowly but surely I have been picking up on nothing but bad habits and this was one of them. I had to sit down and measure out to see how I could get the drywall to line up and your method is correct. Keep it coming with the videos alot of us want to learn the right way. I learned more from you in a short video than I did with that contractor all year

Mar 12, 2012 - Your material does not start at the center of the corner stud it starts at the corner thus the lay-out needs to be shifted to allow for that.+++Bob

Mar 21, 2012 - @HomeRemodelWorkshopThere is no wrong or right answer You are right and he is right It is a matter of preference but if i was to use a method his would be a better one because you allow your self to run out of space at an end of the plate on ether side if you start on one side or another..

Mar 31, 2012 - Great vid, you stated there are many more for getting layouts square, walls flat etc. I only found the video for using a plumb bob to align top and bottom plate on your channel. Can someone please point me to these videos.Thanks

Apr 14, 2012 - Why in this country when they construct a house, they do not put double thermal glass, why the window are so big, why every time there is a tornado so much lumber we see spread all over. When america is going to start to build in a better way. fivelands1

Apr 30, 2012 - You know, I am not a carpenter by any means of the word however after watching this I feel like I can build my garage. The trick with the square was awesome!! I showed this to my uncle (who IS a carpenter) and he had a look like ohh yeah! I didn't realize the skinny side was 1 1/2". Thanks Bob!!!!

TheSnugPub Says:
May 13, 2012 - Ok on a single stud I usually mark on the shorter or inch and half edge with the short square.When doing multiple studs running square off each other you need to put one upright on its edge and one each side. This is to meet the stud running up to it at right angles.Always measure the lowest point from floor to ceiling in the room and cut all uprights allowing for head and sole thickness (3") in this case. Wedges can be used to steady up while fixing to ceiling Bridging should be cut from t

May 15, 2012 - Great job!! Makes total sense to me now! Your method makes it way quicker too.
