Framing Exterior Walls for the Center Hall Colonial Video

Kevin Parquette's crew is making swift work of the framing using traditional practices such as 2-by-4 construction with 1/2 inch CDX plywood sheathing. The partitions are constructed on the ground and then raised into place. Kevin and Bob discuss the steps involved in laying out the individual partitions. First the crew tacks the bottom plate into place temporarily. Next the top plate is pulled out for the back, studs are put into place and nailed, and the sheathing is attached. Finally, the crew stands the wall in place.
