Re: BUILDING SKILLS: Wall Framing Layout
well technically he's only subracting the 3/4" from the first stud, the others are all the full 16" in from that. Some guys will mark the first stud, the put the end tab of the tape on that 15 1/4" mark. then the pull the tape out the full length of the board and lock it. At that position they WILL use the full 16" (red marks) on the tape. The stud layout is all about being able to split studs where there are sheathing seams...the point of the layout is so that at 48" you have a stud centered on that dimension. When you think about what makes sense and what will work with stud layout just think about how the sheathing and drywall will install...
