"Andrew did an excellent job building our deck. From start to finish he worked efficiently and with remarkable attention to every detail. He kept us informed of his process throughout the project and always made us aware of his schedule. Not only is his workmanship exemplary but he performs his craft with a friendly yet professional attitude. We feel very fortunate to have found such a talented craftsman."

"Southern Rust Woodworks has the best custom built products around. I have several pieces he has made for me, and I get asked all the time who did them and how to contact him. He can make anything you want! Or if you donâ t have an idea, he has great ideas himself. My house is basically a Southern Rust Woodworks showcase. Love all my pieces and they are excellent quality. Love all his products!!!"

"Mr. Jon was very professional and very punctual, he kept me in the loop as he repaired my bathroom floor that was sinking in from a previous leak from around the toilet. He has done two jobs for me at one time, due to he had to pull the toilet up from the floor, and afterward finishing the floor. he had to put the commode back in place and he put a new wax ring on that for me so it wouldn't leak again. On top of that, Mr. Jon left my bathroom very, very sparkly, And his price was very reasonable to whereby I am having him do other work in my home. And a few days later I was very shocked to hear from him to check to see if everything was still working correctly, now you don't get that every day."

"Experienced a broken water pipe which flooded bathroom, hallway, and laundry room. Laminate flooring and 90 feet of baseboards was replaced by Already Finishing. Only company I could find that would do both baseboards and install laminate flooring. Highly recommend for quality of work at very reasonable price."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
