"Emmett was the lead contractor and brought a different co-worker/assistant with him for each of the 1.5 days of demolition work.  On the third day, a half day, Emmett brought along another lead, Ed, to assist with removing the 6-8' foot section of a beam that had considerable dry rot.  They did a good job also in replacing the beam, capping off the plumbing (and removing some unnecessary junctions), replacing the insulation in the affected crawl space area, saving two vanity sinks & the toilet, and nicely cleaning up the site.  We will be bringing Emmett and/or Ed back out for other projects in the near future.

Unfinished 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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
