Build a Tool Shed Series: Building the Bearing Walls
Learn a valuable wall-building technique that applies to any house as well as this shed
In this episode, Rick demonstrates how to frame and craft three walls that require three different adjustments. He first builds a wall with no gaps for windows or doors. Then, he shows how to build a wall with space or a door, as well as a wall that will have a significantly larger door and window. These walls require similar, but slightly different treatments that can be applied to the walls of any structure, not just sheds. Included in this video are tricks to easily setting walls in place, adjoining walls, as well as tips to using hammers in situations with limited space for movement.
