They should be exactly the same length or the wall will never be square. • Hook one end of the wall plates and work your way down marking the centers and RO size of all windows. • When you reach the end, hook your tape at the other end of the plates and work your way back, marking stud layout. • For 16-inch on-center framing, the first stud line goes at 15-¼ which places the center of the stud at 16 inches. Remaining studs also are marked ¾ inch before the red stud marks up on your tape: 31¼, 47¼, 63¼, down the line. • The line marks the edge of the stud and the x indicates which side of the line to put the stud. • Keep marking through the Rough openings, because partial studs will go above and below the window opening. • When the plates are laid out, spread them apart, frame the window openings, then fill in the studs. • We will cover framing window openings next. • Instagram: www.instagram.com/protradecraft • Facebook: / protradecraft • Twitter: @TradeCraftsman | twitter.com/tradecraftsman • Subscribe to ProTradeCraft's YouTube channel for regular updates
