Coming together now - looks good. Love the tip about putting the screw in a little first then going at an angle- stops the screw migrating all over the board! Genius 🥰🎄🦊🎄
We call that a jab saw or a pad saw. Often shortened to paddy. Normally a tool that needs finding on a busy site. We normally put screws on a 240ish mm centre and have never had trouble. Bit cheaper in screws than a 150mm (6inch) centre
To mark lines for the plasterboard screws, hang a chalk line from the top of your board, next to your stud marker, then allow the line to settle, hold tight to the wall and snap the line on the wall to leave a chalk line. Follow this line for your screws. You know it's perpendicular to the floor because of gravity.
Thanks! Just to let you know you're my first guinea pig for this Sunday's project haha... I've just finished making a desk treadmill and you're the first person I've messaged now it's complete lol
"Dewalt breadknife" *stab saw lol, that made my day. My only tip, If you need to borrow a tool once you know you need it if you borrow the same tool twice you really need to buy one, tool collections always continue to grow :)
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK thank you vikki. Told me i would be in for 3 days that was 10 days ago.just a bit of drilling hammering cutting etc. I reckon you could have done it.thank you for your good wishes
Good video! I never thought of Noggins, or as I call them, Fire blocks, were really structural as much as they are required by code where I live. But I'm sure it does add some rigidity. But good job, I appreciate the update. And that Hans sure is a handsome fella!
Thanks :) Glad to see Hans is enjoying his time more while were there. Initially, I don't think he liked it 😂 The noggins have definitely taken out any give they had without them :)
These videos are absolutely jam-packed with information. Obviously not a full course in how to do all these jobs, but damn near. What did you think of your first experience with an impact driver? Revolutionary tool aren't they?
Thanks! I wasnt entirely sure about the feel of this one as have never used one before. But I have a Einhell one I'll be testing soon... loved not needing to predrill though!
Pad saw lol looks alright , suprised your dad hasn't got a gas nail gun that's what most use for studwork as quicker than screws . Personal preference 👍😉
Haha, I won't forget the name of it now 😂 My Dad does have a few nail guns down the woodyard, but only brings a handful of tools to the house each week.
Did you get any little splinters of metal from the plasterboard screws (ouch). Any reason why you went for mounting metal back boxes on studs for the electrics instead of using the plastic plasterboard mounted back boxes?
No splinters and sorry, no idea why metal as opposed to plastic ones were used. I didn't think to ask about that. We've just been letting the electrician get on with things.
Yeah, I was wondering about why metal boxes too. Plastic ones are so quick and easy. Perhaps the electrician didn’t realise the wall was going to be plastered? Did he think it was just going to be taped and mudded?
Hi Vikkie. Love seeing you and your husband helping your parents. So is this a vacation home to be or a permanent home for mom and dad? Thanks for sharing. You are a very good daughter. I should try to get my daughter to watch these. Maybe she will get some ideas to help mom and dad.😄
I asked about this and both my Dad and the electrician said it's not needed. We have for the en suite though which is another job coming, but they are external walls.
Every 6 inches is spot on. I trained as a plasterer when I first left school. Plasterers generally have a special drill with screws on a belt though. It’s much quicker to fix the boards. Don’t be tempted to use nails though, as they often ‘pop’ the plaster over time.
You've actually more chance of snapping your wrist in gear 1 'cause although it turns slower it has a lot more torque and gear 2 is more speed but less torque. It's kinda just like a car and I also know this from experience on many occasions, last time was a hole saw through a steel bar, thought see what 1 is like see if it chews bigger chunks up and let's just say, my wrist hurt for about 3 days and made me go light headed at the time. Although it was pretty darn funny between us all
I built my garden workshop with stud walls just like this. Then clad it in treated pallet wood slats. Marine ply roof covered in felt. Sat on galvanised steel feet. Double glazed windows and door. No heating yet. But all in for a 10×8 It's cost me £60. That was for the felt and some nails. Everything else is reclaimed or erm...*liberated from work 🤣
.......... or if you have the money and inclination you could use a Vibratory tool ;0) Seriously it vibrates a saw blade with small teeth at very high speed through ..... well whatever you want and have the correct blade for ;0)
Dave W are you talking about a multi tool? Personally I prefer a pad saw, it’s quick, easy and convenient and is a lot easier to keep in your tool bag/box.
@@Mark... Yeah! But they are handy for cutting through other stuff too! If you are fitting laminate flooring they are a go-to for cutting architraves to allow the laminate under! I am more old school myself but the young un's have some good ideas!
One "trick" marking the holes for boxes in plasterboard is to offer up the sheet and tap over the box with a tapping stick (hammer) leaving a perfect mark on the back for you to cut out against. An alternative to this is to fix the board and just hit it with a hammer (it is good to be sure where your box is though. Then you can put your finger in and feel for the edge of the box and then stanley directly through the board ...... it may be problematical if you don't do many but if you do you soon become proficient and usually do not even catch the wire in the box with the knife ;0) Again, if you are doing a lot of this using nails instead of screws to fix your timbers is usual and allows you to line up your battens a lot better. A similar trick to your small screw ..... just pop a nail in 1/2 an inch (15mm) and drive the nails in at an angle from above and drive nails in horizontally at the end you have not already got a batten on the other side of your vertical! You can pull the supporting nail out easily enough too! I have seen a version of this using pressed steel "C" shaped sections. There is a tool that simply "Staples a hole through two opposing and extended C sections to form one section of any length. This is then slotted in to a similar section already screwed to the floor and one to the ceiling. Plasterboard is then screwed directly into the risers! You can even get pre-wallpaprerd sections with a thin plastic section that slides to cover the screw holes ...... You would probably be best sticking to standard plasterboard though ;0) You would seriously not believe how quickly it goes up though! Sound insulation is a good idea though!
Thanks, Dave! Yes, we did try the trick of putting the plasterboard in place and hitting it against the light switch, but it was a bit faint, so the electrician drew at the back instead :) I forgot to mention that this plasterboard was thicker than normal too, but not sure how much that would've made a difference :)
Here's my written step by step - thecarpentersdaughter.co.uk/renovations/build-a-partition-wall/
Your parents are blessed having a daughter with the willingness, and helpfulness of you. Keep it going, it's starting to come into shape 👍👍
Thank you :) hopefully they're enjoying us helping and that it's not slowing dle their work 😂

Thanks, Claire :) When my Dad instructed, I didn't know what he meant... until I tried for myself and learn the hard way 😂
It's worth thinking about putting some insulation in the stud wall , it does deaden the noise from travelling through the wall
Thanks for the tip :)
Use acoustic plasterboard or double board it if soundproofing is an issue.
Use acoustic insulation
Or just keep quiet! You're welcome 👌

Your learning fast, impact drivers are the way forward, nice work 👍
Thanks :) I've now got one, so will be having a play with it soon :)

Thanks! :)
if you have a laser level, you can do the same thing, sliding it along the floor with each row. might be a bit quicker and less chalk all over..
Good job always satisfying when the plasterboard goes up

Pad saw
Nice work, keep the videos coming 👍
Thank you :)
Thankyou
Good, well presented and step by step guide video. I have question in my house there isnt a attic or access to the attic any advice please
Good job 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good work dog helping out as well 😀😀
Haha.. he tries. I think he thinks his tennis ball is a tool 😂

Lying on a hospital bed wishing i could be doing something like this vikki.
Great job
Oh no!!! Hope it's nothing serious 😥

Hi vikki.
Total knee replacement never known pain like it.so no DIY for me for a few weeks.
Ouch! Hope you have a very speedy recovery!
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK thank you vikki.

Did you try using a drywall dimpler bit PH2 to drive the screws in the plasterboard..it could really help on a project that size..
Good job!!!
Thanks :)
Mint job 👏👏👏👍
Thanks :)
I love your motivation!!! 🔥🔥🔥❤️
Thanks :)
Great and informative….
Thank you :)
Great video, I’m about to build a false chimney breast to inset my tv and fire and found this very useful. What length concrete screws did you use?
I think they were about 3-4" long spax screws
And thank you :)
Good job 😊😊
Thank you :)
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK you welcome 😊
such good life skills
Starting to take shape mate looking good, the saw you used for cutting the plaster board is called a pad saw very useful and relatively cheap 😊😊😊
Thank you :) Wonder what it's like cutting bread afterall? 😂
Good vid, and u gain a extra room.

The spax screws going into wall did they have rawplugs to screw into or straight into wall thanks
Hi, no, they don't need them.

Yeah, I was wondering about why metal boxes too. Plastic ones are so quick and easy. Perhaps the electrician didn’t realise the wall was going to be plastered? Did he think it was just going to be taped and mudded?
I hope you signed and dated one of the studs for further people to find and maybe a photo ? Imagine someone finding them in a hundred years time
No, I haven't 😂
Do you need a permit? And whats the est costs?
I was going to message you yesterday to request this👀
😂 Well, there's another one coming soon, too :)
Did you nick the bench from the train station ?
It was already in the garden when my parents bought it :)

Great work. Are you going to fill with insulation ?
I asked about this and both my Dad and the electrician said it's not needed. We have for the en suite though which is another job coming, but they are external walls.
I did it in mine when we did our extension purely for noise control makes a big difference and I agree a must for external walls
Simon Thornley I agree. It makes a huge difference.
6:15 every 6 inches? A lot of screws.
Is it uk- law?
Not sure... just did as I was told and didn't ask any questions 😄

hi there, what screws did you use for assembling the frame ?
Standard wood screws would work
Really nice work, i would do it the same way.
Thanks :)

Good work :-)

The plasterboard knife is called a “pad saw” or a “jab saw”
Ah, thank you!
.......... or if you have the money and inclination you could use a Vibratory tool ;0)
Seriously it vibrates a saw blade with small teeth at very high speed through ..... well whatever you want and have the correct blade for ;0)

I’d call it a jab saw. If you have one, then a multi tool with a plunge blade is even easier.
7:39 where are your screws? ;)
I don't think I'd done all this new section of the wall at this point. I had to screw a few of them on :)
Your so good
Framed studs right into drywall/plaster was always fun to demo :|

Noggins are called “dwangs” in Scotland, just some useless info 😁
Haha... never heard of dwangs, but I love the word noggins when I learnt it in my decking video :)

@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK sandwich is called piece aswell 😂 i was so lost when up there in summer when asked
noggins? dwangs? metric? we call them blocking in Canada...
I take it you crowned the timber????
Glen Fraser not so easy with a partition wall but I do take your point.
Well done
You consider plastering your self ? Save yourself a lot of money
Thanks! No, that would drive me insane trying to me perfect 😄😄
