Literally just built a 24 square garage using Shannon’s videos. Had the building inspector ask me who built it as the quality was of professional grade. Take every piece of advice Shannon gives, it’s worth it to take the time.

Who the heck is hitting dislike on these videos? The guy speaks english with good audio and video quality, and isn't using a tripod for 30 feet away. How do you dislike this? It's one of the best sets of home improvement videos on youtube, even if you use a different method than what is shown.

Great video....no annoying music and very clear instructions. Keep up the good work!

11 years later, and still helping us newbie’s! Most excellent sir!! Liked and subscribed

You're a natural teacher. Very clear and well spoken. Thank you for all the great videos. I'm learning a lot with your help.

Thank you so much Shannon . This is clear and concise . I’m self building a shed , total novice and your tutorial videos are priceless . 💯👏🤗

I seldom rate these vids, and mostly acute criticism when I do. This vid cleared up several issues. It was the first of this gentleman's I'd watched but won't be the last. Kudos to Shannon for teaching an old dawg some new tricks.

I like your accent. I have spoken twice in Canada at technical conferences for elevator inspectors. You are a kind people, generally. Thank you so much for your video. Very detailed.

The amount of information you have in the video is amazing. Im so glad you included the impact type screw driver because a lot of people don't realize the difference. Great job!

I wanted to thank you for this video. I built an interior wall in my house with a door and learned how to do it from watching this. Good stuff sir.

As others have said, THANK YOU for not muddling up your video with annoying background music! I love your instructional videos and have turned to them many times!

Best instructional video on framing for beginners.

Great info in these videos. Good knowledge - shown in an easy to understand format- Thank you for sharing these.

I FINALLY 100% understand why you don't just use the 16" marks and start at 15 1/4. FINALLY convinced. Thanks!

Shannon is an EXCELLENT "teacher", easy to listen to....not trying to promote his knowledge for selfs sake, but pass on his knowledge to help all who come to any of his sites......thank you Shannon.......

great video, even this many years later, very helpful

Real nice! Never knew about the crown direction. I have been doing framing as an amateur for years. A few sheds here and there. Big and small. Even an addition to my house. Never too old to learn. Thanks. Great video.

Shannon you and your camera person make excellent , informative step by step videos, I have learnt a lot from you over the years, keep up the good work , from texas

Good for you Shannon crowning studs.Not many bother with this step,just the people that were taught the proper way.

I love watching your video your explanation is so easy to understand you're a natural teacher

There is many similar videos out there on same subject but this one is the best. Thank you for your time Sir.

I appreciate you taking your time to help others out.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I have been watching many videos trying to understand about this 16 on center of basic framing. You explain so well that I was able to understand it. Again thank you.

Shannon... you have such an endearing and humble personality... never lose it....

Hey Robert! Will not have a video on that but I would "stick frame" it in place. So attach the bottom plate to the floor and top plate to the ceiling. Measure and cut each stud to fit and nail them each in place as you go.

I like to mark the edges as well so that when the plates are laying on the floor I can easily see everything while I'm framing it up.

9+ years later and still so helpful. Thank you Shannon!!!

Your instructional methods are the best I've seen on KZfaq. I am learning not only the how-to's, but the don't-do's and the shortcuts that I've never found in books on basic framing. You rock, Sir. Keep'em coming!

Thanks for your kind words. Maybe I should be producing my videos in sets on dvds and selling them?

Very good description. Now I need to find a place for a wall.

this channel is so great, can't say enough good things about it, congrats and thank you

I watch other videos and I like yours ,because you showing very clear and you do not rushing ,I travel to old country and give your knowledge to my brother because he always building something and when I show him how you doing , he always asking me :Janko from where you know that and make video here and show him how you do , but I must translate for him to our language , thanks

This was very helpful, and very well presented. Thank you.

30 seconds in and i can already enjoy his beautiful canadian accent :)

I showed this to my son, you explained this better than I could ever have.Thank you.

I'm soon going to build a tiny house and want it to be done right. So i wanted to thank you for your time to make this video. It's going to help me a lot!

Thanks ,very helpful, especially that extra 2x4 for dry wall! Thanks again.

When you are doing the wall lay out, just a tip. You can always nail those 2 2x4’s together flush. Then go 15 1/4 and put a duplex or regular sinker, then attach the tape to that nail. Then go every 16 inches from there.

How do these young guys get so experienced? Talk about USEFUL skillsets! Good examples of "can-do"men and women. Orémus Y'all.

Wow!!! So impressed with your step by step! Best i've seen to date.

wow.. great vid! makes me respect builders even more..

dude you have a lot of patience answering all these questions,,, i would get annoyed.. thanks for the vid

I'm starting to build a garden room in the Spring and I can't tell you enough how much your videos have helped me in my planning, design and general know-how. I have no significant building experience but thanks to people like you and your team, I now have the confidence to go ahead and make it happen. Top bloke! 👍🏼

Always love checking out your vids whether I'm putting up a door or putting up a wall your vids are by far the best to show any DIYer how to get projects done

Appreciate your time and effort for this video and I learned a few things. Thanks...

Once I finally saw the layout I noticed why you placed the line 3/4" left, because a 2x4 is actually 1.5" wide and half of 1.5" is 3/4"... dang, it really is true some of us are visual learners.

Finally!! Someone who explained in a manner that a non handy guy like me can understand!! Thanks!

Love these videos! Thanks for helping me restore my 112yr old house. ❤

you did a better job explaining than my professor. i really appreciate this video. i just subscribed

Love your videos. Makes me want to built shit. You explain everything in simple terms, speak slow and show how it's done.

We are adding a room to our house and I am so glad that I found your videos/channel. Your manner of explaining is very easy to follow and very clear instructions. Thank you for posting and helping those of us who are learning to DYI.

Dude, I've been looking all over and finally found 100% of what I was looking for in framing. Every other video assumed I already knew the steps for corners, top plates, etc. I didn't, but I do now. Thanks!

Thank you for putting the effort in to explain to us weekend warriors.

Your accent 💜💜 But in all seriousness he knows his framing well! Go Shannon!

Helped me out a lot. I fully understand connecting the walls at the corner with the very top sil now. I appreciate it

It is clear you know what your doing. Very helpful. thank you for taking the time to do this, I will remember all of it.

Thanks so much. This video gave me exactly what I needed. Very helpful indeed.

@houseimprovements Shannon. Thanks for your help. I feel well educated and ready for this step except for the following questions. @13:40, you showed us the 3" deck screws and how it goes through the 2x4 into the stud. Are you using the same size screw to attach the double top plate? If you secure the double top plate with 2 screws at the stud, will it hit the 1st fasteners?

Really good. Well-explained. Few wasted words, on point, not going too fast or too slow. Camera follows well.

Shannon - you have created a GREAT series on framing. I am using your videos to build a large shed style chicken coop (or as we call it here a chicken palace) and if I'm going to do it it will be done right. I really appreciate all of the time and effort you've put into these videos. Very clear presentation with lots of detail for beginners. I feel like I'm sitting in a classroom but cutting out all of the useless stuff. Thank you!!! - Chris in N. Arkansas

CANADA KNOWS HOW TO FRAME

I was always curious, how do you anchor the wall to the floor?

Excellent video. Thorough. Well explained. Easy to understand.

Sir I appreciate that you take the time to make this very helpful videos. I followed your instructions and I did my first wall frame ever. I have no experience in construction but I'm looking forward to the challenge of finishing the whole project ,, an 8 by 10 loundry room. Also it is a project that I'm taking advantage to work on it with my boys ,,, bonding and learning with them,,,,, tnxs again

Gradge

I usually build a corner with two studs and three sixteen inch block one on the bottom one in the middle and one at the top.

Thanks so much for your videos. They are like having a great trainer by my side. I like the way you explain why you are doing something a particular way and discuss other options. You point out short cuts and improvements that give me confidence to tackle projects I would otherwise avoid.

Always learn much from this guy. Doesn’t just say what he’s doing but why and or why not. And all miscellaneous tips as well for first timer novice DIY selfers. Definitely a good teach. Thanx for the vids and did subscribe 👍🏾

No not necessary in that case.

brilliant, straightforward, clear and helpful. thank you. speed square and hammer drill great suggestions.

If you are not getting paid, you should be!!! I have cut out a wall and put in a window by using your video; I've made other home renovations via your training. Whenever I want to attempt a home project I look for your videos. Your instructions are so clear and easy to understand. I have saved thousands of dollars from labor cost by DIY. Awesome; Thank You!!!

great vid! thx for posting these up, helps people who didnt know how things work.Keep them coming!

Great video! Very clear and thoroughly explained! Also respect the Canadian hockey hat! Cheers.

I have watched videos on this from other people, but this is so much more clear and detailed. This is why I have subscribed. Keep the videos coming!

I agree with the straight forward approach ; music and fluff free and without some ridiculous heavy metal intro. Great Job!

Spot on! This is exactly what I needed and the way the instructions were explained made this easy to follow. The information regarding spacing marking and crown explanation was EXTREMELY handy.

The videos you put up are always really helpful, and clearly walk us through the safety and suggestions that make a difference. Thanks a lot!

I love a comment section where people are interested in learning instead "knowing it all". Thanks for the info. Great video

Yes, agree. One of the better "How To" videos I've seen. Really nice job Shannon. Love the level of detail - and that you communicated that detail so clearly.

Anytime I'm searching for construction tips/techniques and a HouseImprovements video pops up, it's the first video I click on. Sound and picture quality are always top notch, and Shannon delivers every time, covering every possible detail in a way that makes every do-it-yourselfer feel comfortable behind his/her hammer, saw, etc. Thanks again. Came to this video for tips on my chicken coop walls and now I'm ready to build.

My favorite DIY video producer!!! Good job sir and thank you!

Shannon, I've been looking for an instructor like you: your method of teaching is excellent; very easy to follow; very thorough!

Just found these videos.Just started building a 10 x 20 shed.Very well done vids.Easy to understand instructions,in plain - but not dumbing - language.Thanks a lot

I learned a bit of this in building trades at school but 15y later couldn't remember everything, now making a few kitty houses for the winter but didn't want to slap something together that I would have to rebuild next season. Thanks

Thanks for the great video series Shannon. As a beginning DIY'er, I can't begin to describe how much I'm learning from your videos. Really incredible, I really appreciate all the finer details that you describe throughout. I'm using my basement as my DIY playground. You really know your stuff buddy!

Thank you for the video, Shannon. I feel confident enough to frame a room. I also appreciate your note about adding the sheathing as well.

Awesome I needed a refresher its been 6 years

Thank You! This is the best how to build video I have ever seen, I am a older woman wanting to learn how to build things, you are a great teacher!!

Thanks a bunch! I'm framing out my shed, and although I have worked with builders in the past this is my first go solo and I feel much more comfortable

thanks, I did not mean to be argumentative I just wanted to be sure that the nails are the best choice! thanks you for your video!

As always, a great video intended to help others understand what the video is intended for. I wish I had your experience. I am a retired military officer turned DIYer for wood working. I am planning my shop. Boy do I need a lot of big tools and of course a lot of space.

I Would've given 1000 likes for this video if it was possible. Thank you so much for not over complicating things..

Thanks for the detailed instruction. I plan to build a smaller version of wall and install over an existing wall. The owners of the house I rent does not allow mounting TV to existing walls. Again, thanks. Best wall framing video by far.

Thank you, I love carpentry, construction, etc. I had worked in residential construction 3 years ago. I really wanted to get back into it, but it has been awhile since i have done any of it, and honestly my boss was not a good teacher. He would just tell us to cut this to this length, and then nail it in here. After 3 years in the United States Air Force, i was just hired as a framer, and I start tomorrow. I was really nervous, because it has been a long time, and I only did framing on one job prior. I mostly did work in roofing, siding, HVAC, and plumbing. After watching your video, and taking notes It really helped me connect the dots, and understand the knowledge that goes into the job not just the labor aspect. Which i was really lacking, and it discouraged me alot. I love this work, and I am passionate about it, I will be watching all of your videos, and taking notes. Also, Would you ever do a video on how to do an estimate of a job, and how the beginning process works of receiving the job, reading the blueprints or whatever it takes to figure out what, and how many materials you would need for the job, and when? Your videos are great, just wanted to know if you ever thought of that, or if it would be realistic. I think that would be helpfull to many, and popular video. Thanks, god bless. V/R Joe McLean

Thanks for sharing its been a long time sense I built a wall. You are a good teacher.

This is the best explanation of framing a wall thank u

I appreciate the thorough explanations as well as the visual tutorial.

Shannon, keep up the great vids. I'm a new home owner and learning a lot from you. I like the shed project too. Do more projects from start to finish. Helps me understand the right order to complete projects.

The most precise visual and explanation of how to lay out wall framing. I've seen too many videos, looking for this one. Thank you. Subscribed.

Just wanted to say thank you for being the best KZfaq Channel for home improvement. Keep up the good work and cant wait to see what other projects and jobs you guys post. X3
