Complete looking for some tips on how to frame a wall!
Hey everyone — I’m a complete beginner when it comes to framing, but I’m really eager to learn and get this right. I'm looking to frame and drywall this opening to close it off for my business. Isn't customer facing so doesn't have to look pretty on the inside! On the outside I'll be drywalling and painting it black. Here's the link to the photos. I wasn't sure how to attach the photos to the post! I’m working on framing a wall and I’ve run into a couple of things I’m unsure about: There’s a metal suspension hanging from the ceiling — how do I frame around that? Do I just build the frame behind it and leave a lip since there's a wall about a foot from the edge anyway? Or should I do something else? There’s also a vent, some cables, and some suspension attached to the ceiling. Should I build the frame around them? I guess I can't build it on the floor and then just stand it up since there's stuff in the way. Also about the floor, currently it's OSB and I was wondering what the most cost effective way to get it to look a tiny bit better would be. Any advice, pictures, or resources would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help! submitted by /u/Maybe_A_Lawyer [link] [comments]
