I just like hearing others say Spelk because since I moved from up north everyone says splinter :). Good video. Ill be doing a similar job myself.

Hah, the only boring bit was drilling the holes for the concrete screws ! A very satisfying build for sure, I love framing out walls, looking forward to the rest of the project !

After hitting a live wire once, I only use masonry bits to drill through the plasterboard - thank you for that suggestion in one of the old videos

3:00 is all about vacuuming out the hole, not re-drilling it! If you need to go in twice, you're just re-grinding the dust you've already drilled that's not been evacuated by the flute. I learnt this the hard way 😉

Not seen you for a while. Then, when visiting my son (and new granddaughter) in Whitley Bay, passed through South Gosforth on the Metro and thought... wonder what Mr & Mrs Mac are up to. Funnily enough exactly what I'm doing with my youngest son in Surrey!

When I did conservatory bases for 14 years the fitters called those masonry screws grabbers so the name struck . Quick tip.. drill your hole and blast a bit of WD40 into the hole using the straw . Glide in lovely 👌🏼🧱👍🏽

What a helpful vid Andy 😊 I’m about to build a stud wall in our 1928 house…. Lath & plaster ceilings, and old dodgy plaster on the walls. I’m thinking of cutting out a strip of the lath & plaster ceiling so my top plate can fix directly to the ceiling joists. Also channelling the plaster on the wall, so my wall stud can fix directly to the exposed brick, rather than crushing the fragile plaster. Sound like a plan? Cheers 😊

My tip for drilling hole for concrete screws is have a bendy straw handy and blow out the dust - make sure your face is out of the dust blast!

What a great series. Me and my husband are looking to buy our first house this year and one of the requirements we have, there needs to be a downstairs toilet, which unfortunately, not a lot of houses in our area have. Therefore, just watching your series, its giving me insight of what you will need to do if we ever decide to go this route ourselves (we would probably hire someone to do the plumbing though). Many thanks to explaining the process in great details Andy 👍.

Jack studs are a slightly shorter stud that headers and window sill plates bear directly onto - usually in load bearing stud walls where you have a beefed up header that’s acting like more of a lintel. The Jack is doubled up with a full length stud directly next to it, which gets called a King stud. (Found out all the lingo by watching too many American framers 😌)

Nice straight timber to split the beam Andy. Also thanks for the tip on the anchors, just curiously how did you find they get stuck if the dust builds up…. 😉

The short vertical stud over the door opening's header is called a 'cripple' stud. Same applies if it's a short vertical stud under a window sill plate.

Around 3:00 mark the vertical studs are getting installed onto brick wall. How would one go about attaching a stud to an existing dot & dab plasterboard wall?

I am envious of your square walls! I think I had a 6" variance over 12' over the height and let's not talk about the wall bulges. My studd wall is now the most plumb and square object in my house! ;)

Nice job. I like to cut the sole plate out once you get the door studs in and use that as the header, less waste and it's the right size. Also think it's a cripple stud at the top above the door header (but prepared to be wrong)

No, you're right it's a cripple stud. Jack stud runs up the door frame and supports the header.

Missed your chance to display various drill bits in that alcove when you said "it's a bit niche"!

Gang cutting wall studs to fit between top and bottom plates only works if your floor and ceiling are level and parallel to each other. I prefer to cut each individual stud to length and fit one at a time.

Clearence hole for the concrete screws: 8mm Also, for other DYI-ers out there: If you don't know what is underneath, especially pipes on a notched joist, it is better to drill a 5mm clearence hole and use 5x60mm screws on the bottom plate. For extra insurance, I use expanding foam under the plate and the floor, if not any decent hybrid adhesive will do. Same for the vertical studs to the walls. Not really necessary, but belt and braces. I personally find the concrete screws hit and miss for holding into the walls and use a 8mm x 100mm concrete anchor. They have never failed me like the concrete screws.

Hi Nice Video! I was wondering if you were at all concerned with adding a bearing wall to the exisring structure? Normally, when building non-bearing, interior partition walls: the stud wall is built short by 1" with any number of methods to attach the wall while keeping it non bearing. I always kept in mind that when a wall touches both the floor and the structure above: it is bearing weight, even if I don't want it to be.
