Wall Framing: Building a Garage | How To | MY DIY

alright guys today's project I got a tiny garage to build this is a 20 by 20 garage just standard eight-foot walls a shallow four-pitch on the roof made out of rafters I'm gonna cut on my own no trusses on this one she only take me a couple days the homeowner is flipping this house I guess and he does a lot of work down his own and he's going to do the shingling so thankfully my back doesn't have to deal with that on this one so it's a get going I got my plates laid out these are treated bottom plates if corners made up right here I always call these California corners I don't know why maybe somebody knows that's marked for a corner that's five inches there from here we go 16 on center so that line is at 15 and a quarter from here which puts 16 on center everything is 16 from there on out again the bottom they're treated I have all the holes drilled for the bolts this would get galvanized nails at the bottom so they don't rust out top will just be regular bright nails I think they're called I don't know I just call em regular nails here are the header packages that will be made up for window on this side the door over here all the walls go up in sections so I can handle on my nail em up once they're up so let's throw these together [Music] next up I grab my ladder get these drawn together nailed up finish up these double top plates move to the front sections taking this front section ready to go in he's got the header for the door it's two two by twelves with half inch OSB sandwich behind between that gives us three and a half inches which is the thickness of the two-by-four it will slide all the way up to the top Jack studs will go underneath there when you're laying out the wall you always want to crown the studs so they go like that so then they will they'll touch here touch there counts for anything if you put them this way like a rocking horse though they'll be tippy and they won't hit at the plates and it counts for any slop in the concrete because you know masons don't know everything perfectly so we get this wall done that far wall the headers gonna have to go up because it goes dead center the header will go up and afterwards that's not a big deal so this wall that wall top plates front small walls and the big door header we got a 16-foot door going in all right [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right first three walls are up double top plates are on corners are nailed together and we got the plates laid out for the rafters and the joists all along there this window package still needs to be built meets Jack studs a sill and all the studs below and we'll get that in a minute my small front walls are nailed up I have my steel seal down and ready to go headers will for the header that big one right there the header will drop down on those jacks and then it will line up with the top plate and then it will get one single double top plate all the way across the header that gives me my height for a seven-foot garage door on an 8 foot pre-cut stud wall so next these two go up and the header goes up [Music] header is in top plates are on window is framed next up all of these nuts and washers go on and I put it down with the impact wrench not that one I've got a three-quarter impact those go on then I get one big brace that will run from the center of that wall down to that plate and that will make sure that that eave wall is straight and it will run all my ceiling joists which are four foot on center off of that wall to there make sure that's straight then the OSB goes on the walls and we're ready to start figuring out usually try to hit them until they start to sink into the wood there [Applause] but all the walls are plumbed in that eave wall is nice and straight next up will be the ceiling joists they will get that will get this other wall nice and straight it's nice to take the time and grab the best material you have to use for your eave plates make sure your corners are made out of good two by fours that aren't all twisted it allows everything to kind of fall into place properly and it makes everything go a lot smoother you're not fighting moving things back and forth onward okay the ceiling joists are in we are completely built braced anchored down plumbed in now I went around on the three big sides I came up 48 and a quarter from the bottom plate marked the line put a nail in up the chalk line and now that will be my baseline for running my OSP take two full sheets and a 4-foot sheet for each row the bottom in the top have all those sheets already staged that's next Oh sb goes up and it's on to the roof you're doing all right but first I'm gonna take a break and put some food in my tummy
