Installing Steel-Stud Framing Video

Bob joins Connor McKenna of Thorough Construction as he works on installing the new steel-stud framing. McKenna is again using the laser level, this time in vertical position, set five inches off the new wall line. McKenna then checks each stud with a tape measure on which the level line is projected to ensure that each stud is exactly in line. He then attaches a stud fastener to hold the stud in place so that it will not shift or move, which would create valleys in the new drywall.
