So this will be roughly six by -- something right yes -- yeah that's what it is it's Asia. She tried to what's the first step here well another look at the lines snapped where rob -- got the plates -- and that is the top and bottom plates. The law which are going to be here and obviously exactly the same size that's what I haven't done yet is lay it out of this have already did that work it out let's look at what the framing crew has already done for us we've got. The outside partition of the house where they put a backer. Exactly have to petition backer to receive this petition perhaps what I essentially 32 by four's to that are. You know going along with the thickness of the one on one that's on the flat to receive. Partition and then up on the top. -- got a ledger board. That's going to get the top plate mail that to the ledger board and that's gonna allow the sheet rock when it goes out. Nailing on either side of the partition right and that's why you come over here you see there's another one that makes the right hand turn. And goes back over in this direction where. You find another backer that's exactly right and that is. Good should Levy's frame is now at that door that exits everything's going the way it's supposed to be now according to the plan though there is. Partition here with a door into this closet and then another wall across here for the back -- a closet that services that room right yep. That's so we get -- glanced down and you're ready lay out this for all essential lay out. Exactly it's. -- all kind of that this is just a straight while these that the going to be sixteen inches on center. The two pieces that we're looking at -- at the top and bottom plates. Right at the bottom -- the top identical in size and it's going to take were hard against sixteen inches identified Lawrence. Sixteen inches on senate can dining at 32 and right. On down the line to the way you can make no mistake. But to sixteen on centers. Now we'll just come back and offset these not just three quarters of an inch -- three quarters because the studs are an inch and a half so we want to be. On center and that's gonna place -- right exactly. With the and you have three of them on the end we have money in Brookline -- OK -- already -- them together my body got kind of back. OK so I guess the next thing to do. To separate these -- currently not -- put together. And start spiking them together. All right and so now the similar version of this little. -- it different from top and bottom plates are. Right this weren't as going to be the Wallach hit -- there's a walk in closet. So this partition has an entry door that we have to brave men. And also we have to -- a backer there for this other wall. The belongs to the bedroom number three facts that Wallace two foot six inches. Off of this wall here so there's actually six -- others. The bought the backer the wall is gonna be three and a half inches so they ship this year -- petition backer right there. And you've got an inch and a half when he decide this stumbles and and that's a door that comes in here but we're watching want to make sure up. Is that we hold this door up off of this petitions. Enough. So that we get a door casing on -- when we hang the -- when we trim out yet writes that his doors to six donated it to thirty inch door -- with six others are always two and a half inches wider than the door itself -- The rough opening rough opening -- 22 -- and a -- and this. Jack stud measures that. We just have to stud on the end. Now we do our regular sixteen inches on center. This while it is only one stud in this case only one stud there. And now we separate them and that's it and put the studs in place. We've already pre nailed. This partition backer. Them. That goes. Right -- goes down. That's the top of the wall. You have got the catalog right. And then have we pre cut the jacks. Yeah jacks going to -- And then Zia and her home. Okay which one you want to put up first on us through this front here the little one. We get a little. Persuaded that he got I think. -- If there's. Still good got. Well this is going to be having it happened. Yes. It's gotta come to me towards the wall half of what -- What can we get the slightest. Good good good. You don't hear about the all right. It's on the line we get a second place. We've got it. -- And now it's gotta move another half a foot at the top end."
