The required supplies include 2x4 pins, 12D nail box, measuring tape, pencil, level and hammer or nail weapon. Cut two 2x4 pins to the same length as the measurement. Place them side by side on the floor and use a pencil to indicate the intervals of 16 inches (40 cm) over the width of the pins. If there is a door in the wall, determine the width of the door and where they are located, add two inches to the door width and clearly mark the hole on both boards. When both boards are separated, each board will be corresponding marks.

Find out where the new wall will be placed in the room. Trim the third 2x4 with the same length as the other two and nailed it on the ceiling beams, keep the corners of the square interview to the neighboring walls. This album will form the top of the new wall.

Now measure the height of the wall at both ends,Where the new wall will form a corner with an existing one. New carpenters are often surprised, because for the first time they frame the wall that their walls of the house are not the same on both sides of the room, but few houses are absolutely plumbing. Subtract 4½ inches (11 cm) from each wall height and trim two 2x4s to match these new measurements. They become vertical pins at each end of a new wall.

The preliminary parties have ended and it is time to frame the wall. Place all four pins on the edge on the floor and pour them into a rectangle with 12D nails, make sure that the boards that span the width of the room are on the top and lower part of the frame with pencils pointing inwards. The boards that range from the floor to the ceiling should be inserted by two long studs, which form the sides of the rectangular frame.

Starting at the end of the section Furthest from the expected door Measure height between brands on VNIt is the upper and lower part of the frame and trim 2x4 to match each measurement. Receive them parallel to two end pins.

Probably a preliminary door assembly was purchased at the same time as the other materials needed to frame the wall. Check the assembly instructions and determine the dimensions of the door that will require and trim the shorter 2x4 the same width as the recommended door opening. Cast this crossspiece horizontally at a suitable height between the two pins that make up the sides of the door. Once this horizontal piece is attached, pour two other vertical pins flat against the door frame frame.

Now lift the entire frame to the site and cut it under the honor of screwed to the ceiling. Use the level to make sure that the vertical pins are perpendicular to the floor and as much joint as possible. Pull the lower part of the frame on the floor - avoid space directly below the door - and secure the upper rail to the pin in the ceiling. If an electric service is required in the wall, it is time to add it.

EC carefully cut out part 2x4 under the door, insert the assembly before hanging the door according to the manufacturer's instructions and the wall is ready for plasterboard or lining. Learning to frame the wall is the basic carpentry skills that will last a lifetime.
