I'm Eric Perkins on today's video about
construction stuff we're going to show
you three ways to make wall partitions
to tie one wall to another and have a
good connection I've already built the
world's smallest wall so I could move it
around and show you these things easy so
let's get going so first let's do an
example of why you need a wall partition
to make a connection from one wall to
another if we put this wall position
right here and try to nail it the only
place we'd get a nail is in the top
plate up here and the bottom plate down
here there would be no place to nail the
sheetrock right here and also you can
see that this for glue way too flimsy so
that's the reason you need a nailer and
you need a partition so let's look at
the three ways we usually do it okay
first we're gonna look at wall
partitions for an exterior wall this is
the first one I like to do a 2 by 6 with
a 2 by 6 coming off it perpendicularly
now we're gonna put a 2x4 wall into that
and you'll see that I have an inch and a
half nailer on either side of this and I
also have a place for insulation to
still go behind this wall so we have a
nice tight exterior wall alright here's
our second example and the good thing
about this way is that it uses scrap
boards so you can save two or even three
studs by doing this method we use scrap
boards to cut these so again an exterior
wall I can still get insulation behind
these we use scrap boards the only
disadvantage is that your drywall or
some may not like it because they don't
have a continuous place to nail let's
put this in you can see that we have a
place to attach the board every two feet
and it will be nice and sturdy and we
also didn't waste any material okay come
on in I've got the most typical way we
do this for interior walls and that is a
2 by 6 2 by 6 2 by 4 or if it's in a 2x4
wall it's a 2 by 4 2 by 4 2 by 4 we call
that a wallet Channel and this will
allow us to but our wall into this wall
have a solid connection and have an
inch-and-a-half nailer on each side for
the drywall or paneling this one works
great takes 3
studs though that was the fastest video
I think I've ever made so I don't know
if it'll be the shortest video ever hope
