Framin' ridiculous innit?

I think @Russell griffiths And me are talking the same thing ...

@recoveringacademic 

what you need to do is mark out on the floor ALL YOUR WALLS, don’t build one wall and then add another this will bite you later

layout your sole plate and mark all junctions, corners. Then mark them on your sole plate. 

The distance between studs is completely irrelevant, apart from the studs your plasterboard joins on

i couldn’t give a hoot if there 457.5mm apart, it is only the corners and junctions and board joins that are important. 

 

Think about these 3 points and do not worry about the other being out by 10-20 50mm it is not important. 

[Russell griffiths]

@PeterW is with me, you also need to do something similar at a corner, 

you can look it up on YouTube, look up framing. 

If you look up California corner that might help

with a corner you need to make sure you can support your boards on the external corner as well as internal corner. 

 

That  one will mess with your head.

My picture is not worthy, and @Russell griffiths has a white board which is the ultimate in site office accessories ..!

 

@recoveringacademic does that make sense to you now ..??

Thanks for catching another error just before it bit my Botticelli.

Didn't know it was called a sole plate .... @Construction Channel calls it something else ( base plate I  think....)

Top and bottom plate for me. But technically sole plate is correct

So I’m sitting in the bath. STEADY LADIES. 

and thought I would see what I could find to help our ol mate @recoveringacademic Out

 

off out later to practice my John travolta moves, so check that out and get that wall set out.

Nice and simple ! Good example.

I will watch this later - thank you. that 'Extra' stud, could you add that afterwards easily enough if you forgot to put it in place originally. It looks like a yes, but I wanted to check.

the way that we do it up here is to completely plasterboard all the long walls in 1 continuous run, these are usually ones along corridors etc then plasterboard the smaller ones, hopefully this picture will make it easier to understand, you have the benefit of using fewer studs

 

edit: drawing is obviously not to scale

Using this approach, is there any issue with sound travelling between the rooms - along the plasterboard?
