Wall Framing

Stud wall framing:

Before we started handling any materials we did a brown paper drawing first. We got all our measurements of our floor that we built and then transfered it on to paper using a 1:4 ratio, once we got all our cutting sizes together we were ready to start.

Step 1. Gather all the correct timber and dock it all to the lengths needed.

Step 2. Once everything was docked we got our top plate and bottom plate and marked all the spacings for our doors, windows and all other studs.

Step 3. Now that everything was marked out we started screwing it all together.

We had the top and bottom plates, on the ends were studs blocked out. Noggings were going across ways to the jamb stud which was joined to our understud for the window, which also had 2/120 x 35 lintel and a window trimmer. Under the window trimmer was the cripple studs.

Have not erected it yet so cant go any further with my steps.
