Basement Framing Inspection - What a building inspector might look for

Make sure to follow these few tips when you get ready to frame your own basement. It can save you a ton of time and money in re-dos.

That one single mistake can be HUGE pain in the you-know-what to fix if your walls are already ram set (affixed) to the floor. Check out this video to keep yourself moving in the right direction and hopefully prevent some of those costly but simple mistakes!

Thanks…but why no mention about vertical and horizontal fire blocking? Do you have another video covering that?

[@buildingcodetips]

Great question! There is a video on fire-blocking and draft-stopping that should be released soon. I have had to redo it a few times so it’s taking longer than I had hoped.
