I made ledges out of plywood and 2x4s and screwed them up above the top shelf. I place these ledges on both sides so that large plastic bins from Home Depot could be lifted in between and then turned to rest on the ledges. STEP 11: Build the storage cart. I screwed together scraps ...
Ruth; starting by admitting I don't know, I still have an opinion: in normal wood frame construction the housewrap is installed on the exterior surface of the wall sheathing that has been nailed over studs - then we use flashing tape around windows and doors, then the siding is installed...
First, we took a minute to locate the studs behind our drywall. Jack likes to get involved, too, which always helps. 2| Create a Ladder Support System We needed to ensure that our shelves arestrong, so we needed to build a support system that we would ultimately hide beneath the plywood...
Then, using astud finder, mark the location of the studs on the wall. I had three studs on the wall to secure these shelves. Two lag screws where driven onto each stud location - six screws for each shelf -. It might be overkill, but the last thing I wanted to have was sagging sh...
So yes, we removed a wall. Actually all the walls. And the floor. The whole room was gutted down to the studs and joists, and then we removed most of those as well. You’ll notice in the ‘before’ photo that the wall between the landing and the bathroom is about a foot thick. ...
Now, I just paint the window black, put some foam insulation up followed by some fiberglass insulation. Then I drive a couple studs into the ribs of the bus and put up a wall. From the outside it just looks like a dark window you can see into. ...
Before I put up the insulation I put up a few wall studs, but I put them in the horizontal [instead of the vertical]. I then cut down the rigid foam board to fit between them. And if you use 3/8" bead board like I do then you only need two along the interior; one about 1'...
It was impossible to get the angle brackets spaced evenly on the trellis, as we were at the mercy of the studs. Although off-centered, our hope is that by next summer, we won’t see them at all! Come on, clematis, grow your little heart out. ...
You can see where we drilled straight through the support and the slats into the wall. We tried to make sure we hit the studs for these to make the shelf a little more sturdy. Sturdy is important here because…boys…amirite?!?!
The level became our best friend at this point, and as is typical with inexpensive 2x4s, we did have some less than perfect twists in the wood. A good tug while keeping things level was necessary to get our support in place, and a right angle drill adapter was used for the studs to...
