Shannon from www.house-improvements.com shows you how to layout and construct a wood wall framing containing a window and door. This is part of our series on wood stud framing construction.
Check out our wood stud wall framing video, it shows a little more detail about the actual marking out of the stud locations. - Навчання та стиль
My husband reminded me this morning that we started building our house 2 years ago. We moved in a little over a year ago. Yes it took a good year to build before we could move in. We built it with our own hands, every board and nail. The only worker we hired was the electrician. I give thanks to this channel and a couple of others for the advice, skills, and techniques they share. After moving in, we added 2 porches, and a guest room. We have a wonderful PAID FOR house now that we will enjoy for the rest of our lives.
You guys inspire me to do this soon thank you!
Thank you for sharing this you should put some videos up just to give back to the community; that's a wonderful testimonial
Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉 best feeling being mortgage free

This is the simplest explanation of framing and the different stud types - it now makes sense! Thank you.
Shannon, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate these instructional videos. As a guy who didn't work in construction at any time in my life, your explanations are clear and very informative. Thank you for taking the time to share your extensive knowledge with us.
Shannon you are amazing, you should teach people in Construction school. God bless you for helping people, and thank you for transfering your knowledge. Thanks Again.
Keep making these videos Shannon. I appreciate people like yourself who are willing to share your knowledge.

Hey I am building a house in the spring, Nova Scotia, I am so happy to find your videos, Awesome. You are going to make me look good, ha. I will tell my friends your the man,
thanks Shannon
sheikhamoepearl we are building on manitoulin island
Thanks Shannon. Because of your videos my husband & I just built and installed a 4x8 garden closet on the end of my garden shed. We used screws to put it basically together then got a low-end framing nailer (which is amazing) and secured everything. It is square and level. I won't say it was easy for us, but it is a very solid structure. Rafters next! Thanks again! Jean & Ken.
Im a team leader for Help Build Hope and I've never built anything in my life. This video made me feel confident to show up tomorrow. Thank you.
Wow your videos are really helpful and shown in a way that someone with very little knowledge (me) can understand! Thanks!
building a tiny home and you have helped tremendously!!
last night after watching the framing one, i built a basement wall in 45 minutes and it worked perfectly. Today, I watched this one and am about to build the doorway on another wall i built. You make this easy. I bougt a book from local DIY store and have sat on this project for months. Your video got me off the couch and motivated.
That's the best explanation i've ever herd, that's the way all teachers should teach, GreatJod.
Glad you think so!
This was one of the most informative video's I've seen on framing so far.....Thank You.
Keep up the good work. You're a good teacher.
You are the only one that explained how the header is built out of all the other videos!!! Thanks!!!
Dude, I have never built crap in my life, but your explanation made me a pro. Thank you!
Shannon is the best. I've learned soooo much from him!
thanks
Excellent, detailed, clear, concise video. I needed to tear down a wall and build a replacement, and this video game me all the detailed instructions I needed to do it properly. Thank you!
Glad to help
I wanted to say thank you for you videos. I’m an instructor for a training program in Multi Family Housing. I have the students watch som of your videos after our lecture time and before we do hands on in the lab. This has been a help. Thank you again. Chuck Ketchum.
glad to help Chuck, we find many schools and training centres do the same thing as you do.
I never saw a movie on UA-cam how to build with your own hands house with 2 × 10 walls, 2 × 12 floor, 2 × 12 ceiling. Super insulated, envelope ,energy savings for years to come.
Shannon, you put out such great, informative videos. : ) Thanks.
April, if YOU like his videos. I'll definitely watch him! I follow your vids and love them... I've even subbed Anne of all Trades because of you
Yeah, good vid's and no crap about how a 'woman' could do it just as well.

Hi Shannon About to start my " Man Shed " shortly . Would like to thank you for your video clips "Build a shed "
Thank you so very much for taking your precious time to show us these videos .I may not respond to all but I have watched a couple at this point and your a teacher believe it or not .Thanks again.
Shannon, I don’t know what your background is, but your clear and precise presentations beat the heck out of most professional corporate communicators. I enjoy watching your videos and have learned a lot. Your work is an invaluable resource for DIYs and, I would not be surprised, quite a few tradesmen.
Wow, thank you!
I am a Journeyman carpenter by trade
Shannon, great teacher and very well made videos. Love your channel.
Keep up the good work!
+speed488 Thanks for watching
Nice work as always, good communication skills. I noticed that shovel in the background you must live in a cold climate like myself.
Thank you. I watched your video on decking and learned so much. My own decking project turned out more than ok as a result. Next big project is the shed, and this helps so much!
The very best video on putting door and window headers on a wall frame. Thanks!
Yes I'm Canadian.
HouseImprovements Yes, I'm Mexican. Cheers fellow North American. I appreciate your videos.
hey there bud
@Hank Scorpio i think he's based in the prairies. maybe Alberta.
i have question how you consider bricks measurment before window marking
Hi Shannon
Great job but I'm surprised you didn't discuss crown up.
Cheers
Answered all my questions! You are the man, thank you!
I second that.
Daniel Jones third 👋🏻
I am listening in from Papua New Guinea. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us. Very helpful information. So simple and easy to follow.
Your videos are perfection. From Arizona USA, thanks so much for the concise and articulate teaching! And thanks to whomever is editing and filming - they are doing it right.
Love your videos; always learn something new from watching them. A can read the info 10x, and maybe I'll remember it. I watch your videos & not only do I remember it, I remember the logic/reasoning behind it because of your videos & explanations. Thanks for posting!
thats what we try to do. And I agree , I learn better by seeing things done as well.
Current status at delhi
It would help if diagrams are displayed during explation so I can see them in actual diagrams. Thanks
Love the vids.
Informative with no stupid intro fluff and stories about your life and yapping about everything except what the video title says we’re clicking on.
Thank you ....this is how “how to” videos are supposed to be done.
I liked how you explained it. I could understand and you mentioned the fasteners also which is good. You never know how many you are supposed to put in.
great video. I really like your laid-back teaching style but you TOTALLY lost me when you started talking about the window. for future reference, it would have really helped if you had an actual window in front of you so you could show us what/where a jamb is and how to measure it. as it is, I had to stop the video and open another tab so I could google window parts before I could continue this video.
elementary information
Yes that would help me as well as I've purchased reclaimed windows. They have an overhang in it's metal framing. But I'm hoping he has a focused window video too!!
Shannon is such an excellent teacher!!

Kevin Turnyanszki yep, which you learned as well. Just like every single other person. Are you one of those premaddona, negative all the time guys in the job site?
I wish you were my neighbor and had nothing to do today!!
it is beautifully explained,even for me who do not speak English..I'm from Europe and this kind of construction is new for us...is the best lesson that I saw on the net.
Shannon, I'll be helping my brother add some walls in his garage over the holidays. Great refresher class. Thanks.
It would be nice to do framing examples for refurbish work also. Refurbish brings lots of extra challenges like having to toe nail, demolition all of which is harder to deal with as opposed to new build.
Enjoy your work.
We will consider that.
can you use screws and no nails.. i would assume it will be stronger with screws
If it is structural framing, then no screws . Unless you use structural screws and not normal deck type screws.
Ok thanks
Daniel Villasenor what size nails for framing 2 x 4?
3 inch sir
To be honest, your instructional videos are great, I"m starting a small project , and they helped me a lot. thank you soo much.
Shannon your videos are real confidence builders...there is a pun in there somewhere. Thanks for this one especially. Very descriptive.
I followed Shannon's instructions exactly; I've watched the video 4 times, and the air-conditioner in my car is still not working.
hwoods that's because you need to go home and make a peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich.
You need the lube.
Im a contractor and always watch your videos first when I have questions. I can't tell you how many times you have helped. Always well-paced, thoroughly explained, and very easy to follow. Thanks!
I appreciate that!
It’s always good when professionals make such videos rather than those who just figure things out as they go on. This gentleman knows what he is doing…
Great job Shannon. Thank you so much for the video, and for keeping it online all these years. It was a big help on my current shop project. The video was very well done, and much appreciated.
I'm been a carpenter for about 10 + years..this guy knows his stuff
It's great that good people like this man are giving us great information for free. Helps alot of us out. Thank you very much.
I have watched lots of other videos and yours seem to always address the details that are needed that the others gloss over. Great job, and I will definitely watch yours first as I encounter each stage of my projects. Thanks!
First time building a shed and I wanted to install several windows and two doors. Your VEDIO helps. Thanks
First timer, here. I really appreciate your videos. I am going to tackle replacing a rotted door and partially rotted frame to my garage, and install a sill plate. This door rests on brick which is shared by the front and back side of this rotted door. Thanks again.
I'm getting ready to frame up some interior walls in my basement. These videos are among the best resources on youtube for learning how to frame. Thank you.
Thanks ,we try our best. Spread the word please
Great job young man! In today’s world you did a great job of providing information to door and window structural framing!
Very well thought out PRIOR to filming! Detailed, educational and easy to follow!
Nice Job Shannon!
Perfect , Love your explanations, You are making alot of guys (DYI) lives a whole lot easier!!!
Thank you this helped me out a lot. I am strictly the DIY home owner and these video's are a blessing. Thank you!
Dude! This video was AWESOME! The money I saved paying someone I bought the tools to do it myself.
That is awesome!
I can not begin to tell you how much I appreciate this video, Thank you.
Shannon, been watching your stuff for a while. I always appreciate the time you take to teach. Thanks!
Probably the most in depth informative how to videos on UA-cam. Great job
Just wanted to say a big thank you for your wonderful instruction. My father was an incredible carpenter who was trained in England, but unfortunately, he was not as good at explaining his craft. Always wished I had taken more of an interest, but now with your calm and easy going instruction I am understanding so much better. You definitely have my admiration and a new Subscriber.
Thanks for subbing
Love, love your teaching style. Clear, succinct, prefect. Thank you.
I cannot thank you enough for this video! I am framing the wall with my first window in it and while I have seen this video multiple times I was completely confusing myself hahahaha...just watched it again....now, out to finish that window and wall section!
VERY, VERY GOOD video. I have seen and built a few garages that the short studs were not used over the windows and doors but used 2 x 10's without problems but it probably all equals but also live in a far different area. Thanks again for the refresher. Bud
Shannon, your a Great teacher, Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, I really learned a lot from you, thanks again!!
These are fantastic videos and tutorials! Exactly what I've been needing, thank you and don't stop with your DIY home videos!
I know its been 7 years but Thanks, I really appreciate your channel.
Fantastic instruction, awesome clarity and teaching style, much appreciated.
These are the best instructional framing videos on youtube. Thanks for taking the time to put them together.
Great videos guys. Shannon, you do an excellent job of explaining everything. keep up the good work.
Thanks for taking the time to create these videos! The information is invaluable and your delivery makes it very easy to digest. Thanks again.
Great, very detailed video and explanation of framing for windows and doors. I am building a 24 x 24 workshop right now and have only done an 8 x 10 in the past. I feel a bit overwhelmed, but it is coming along.
You do a great job explaining the ins and outs of framing. I particularly like the suggestions for making notations on the studs for trimmers, king studs, placement etc. Best of all is your is your demeanor and the gentle way you calmly explain everything. You are not just a professional, but your clearly a gentleman. Thank you.
great video Shannon you do a good job properly breaking down the process in each of your videos you definitely have been great help to me whenever I need to reaffirm something that I'm doing on the job site
If you don't already teach this trade at a trade school, you should. You are excellent at teaching and explaining this stuff!
Great video, cleared up some questions I had about framing. Thank you very much for investing your time into this, look forward to more.
Excellent Instructor, no questions remaining.
thanks for just dealing with the information, no background music. Great job
YOU DONT LIKE BACKGROUND MUSIC ?????
Thank-you SO much for your excellent, clear directions & descriptions. Perfect balance between telling us what to do, how to do it, and why you need to do it!
I LOVE this channel. My go-to for renovations all-around.
Thank-you!
Thank you Andrea!
Thank you for the video it's going to be handy when I do my extention and enclose my front porch very easy for someone like me who is not a master Carpenter but knows a little bit about carpentry to understand and be able to follow
Thanks for the response. I like the video on building the wall frame and the window wall setup it help me out on figuring out cutting the pieces out
There is only a few builders i will watch and learn, and Shannon is thee top one i will watch, thanks a lot for all the
great information, and very well explained, keep it up, and thanks again.
Thanks Markus!
Thanks. May God bless you abundantly. You are a natural teacher.
This is so useful, feeling way more confident about throwing up my first stud wall. Thanks!! :)
Shannon, I can't go try any of your projects! too busy viewing them over and over! Amazing how well you go step by step. Can't imagine a better instruction video! thanks!
I loved the video .. helped me to understand how an existing exterior wall and door frame (rough) is built. I have to replace a pre-hung door with another and I know what to expect now. Thank-you again, :-)
I want to build my own Green house and I think I am starting to understand the framing process thanks to your excellent instructional videos.
really good and clear, thank you for posting these!
Thanks for posting the video, awesome step by step for the novice. Building a treehouse for the kids and this is great to watch as many times as I need too :). Thanks from Tennessee.
Great video, thank you. I appreciated the header assembly demonstration.
