Framing For A Home Elevator

Подробнее о видео

We’re putting an elevator in the new house we’re building.
Let’s frame the vertical support stacks for the rails to attach to.
I measure the distance between the bottom plate and the top plate to get the height of the supports.
We’re going to build these out of Southern Yellow Pine 2x12s.
I measure both the right and left side separately for a tight fit, and I make sure that both ends of the 2x12s are square.
Next, I rip some ½” OSB 11 ¼” wide, I like to raise my blade up when I’m cutting thin material for a smoother cut.
Now it’s time to make a sandwich, 2x12, OSB, 2x12. This makes the thickness 3 1/2”s the same as the 2x4 wall.
These supports get built just like a box header- only they are installed vertically.
The plans even call for a 2x4 on both sides.
I’d asked the New Guy to guy to come by and give me a hand, but he never showed up- I guess he’s scared of ducks.
Always use galvanized nails when you’re shooting into pressure treated like here at the bottom.
Now we have the supports for the basement and first floor- we’ll install the second floor once it gets framed.
We’re planning to show the rest of this build, so be sure to like and subscribe for more. @hausplans
