Wall-Framing Instructions??

Question

I need detailed instruction on how to frame out a partition wall that would measure 42"H and 55"L when finish. I want to seperate the living area from the kitchen but still keep the open feeling. Are there any websites or books that exlpain in detail how one does this?

Answer 1

cut 2 2x4s (top and bottom plates) 55" long then lay those together and lay out 16" centers (little red marks on a tape measure every 16 inches) then cut your studs 39" since 2 2x4s =3" and u want 42"finished. nail or s***w together on the lines u made.

  sorry no web site

  hope it helps
