Putting Up the Second Floor Exterior Wall Video

Bob is on the second floor of the addition where the crew is putting up twenty four foot long sidewalls. Bob and the crew push the sidewall up and Ryley nails the brace into place. The top and bottom plate and studs for the next wall is laid out on the subfloor and then nailed together. Ryley explains that the door and window headers should be nailed in first as a rule of thumb. Bob puts a backer in for a partition that will run perpendicular to the exterior wall. Next plywood is laid on top of the wall and set several inches above the bottom of the wall. This is done so that the next sheet overlaps with the first floor and strengthens the bond between the floors. Finally Ryley cuts the window hole, and the wall is ready to go up.
