"Arrived at the time he said he would arrive. Called ahead to let me know he was on his way. Work completed in a timely manner. Gave an estimate ahead of work and only charged for the job and time worked. Very pleased with the completed work. Friendly, but work oriented - didn't waste time talking."

"Handy as Help is the first and last electrician I will ever need. Adam answered all of my questions and took the time to explain everything thoroughly. I won’t be calling anyone else. If you want the job done right the first time, look no further. With Adam’s vast knowledge in the electrical trade — and his patience with a customer who had a million questions — he will always be my first call!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
