Exterior wall plates get laid out first. King and Jack Studs are marked out for windows and doors and walls are marked for interior partition walls. #PreBuild #construction #education #nomoreskillsgap #nolaed #buildinghousesframingcharacter
It starts with the layout - windows, doors and other wall components get marked out on the floor system for easy transfer to wall plates. #construction #education #buildinghousesframingcharacter
