How To Lay Out Exterior Walls

You could be the fastest wall framer on the planet, but if layout was wrong, you'll quickly become the fastest remodeler. The importance of accurate layout cannot be oversold. Its not just about making sure trusses (or rafters) line up over studs which line up over joists, its also about tracing point loads and noting on the plates anything the trades might need. No one likes to install a 6x6 after the plumbing or electrical is in.

My personal preference is to be minimal with my notes on plates. Make sure you look at every floor above the one you're working on and the roof when you are scratching layout. I know a guy who's missed things here and there.........

Thanks for watching.

Please remember, I’m not showing the best way of doing something, just what works well for us.
