Q: How far apart should studs be when framing?

• <div><p>Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.</p></div>

Q: How do you calculate framing costs?

• <div><p>The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. </p><p>To ensure you don&rsquo;t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you&rsquo;re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if I missed the stud?

• <div><p>There are a few options if you miss a stud. You can simply patch the hole with spackle, sand it down, repaint it, and then find the stud&mdash;essentially starting over. If you don&rsquo;t want to do that, you can insert one of the more robust drywall anchor options and hang your item on that, but that will only work if the drywall is in excellent condition and the anchor is rated for the weight of the item you&rsquo;re hanging on it. You may be able to cover the hole with the object itself once it&rsquo;s mounted, but it&rsquo;s still recommended to at least fill the hole to protect insulation and prevent vermin from entering. </p></div>

Q: What type of bracing should I use for my bowing basement wall?

• <div><p>If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble. </p></div>

Q: When should I be worried about a house creaking?

• <div><p>While most house creaking is expected to some extent and under normal conditions, it's not a good idea to ignore new noises. If other problems accompany the creakiness, like cement cracks, wobbly or loose stair components, or moving trimwork, it's time to look into the potential for foundation trouble or other structural problems. </p></div>
