and today's invigorating episode we're gonna teach you how to straighten a wall
so we got this wall last weekend timber timber isn't as nice as it should be few
bins and crooks here and there so in order to get their overall wall straight we're
gonna show you a little trick the first step involves a string line so you need
three blocks that are the same thickness so you know these blocks one at each end of the
no matter how you tie it long as it's tight so now that the two blocks are at either end and
the string line is up we have the third block that we made which is the same thicknesses of
two in blocks can we check this here so that there is perfect so we know that this stud stud
is straight so that's good and we just work our way along so or it is maybe a mill if you know
you can get away with that it's fine this one here again the mill don't need to do anything
with that this one here is bowing see the block doesn't fit in there and it Pro doesn't fit in by
about three mils so I'll write plus three because no I should write minus 3 because we want to move
it that way so I'll write on the side three and then it gets a bit more here for yes oh my god
it needs to come this way like how many Mills that but I like pseudo no it's a boost yes Oh
baby no yeah so lose the arrow this way this time right eight and again we need to go this way again
probably going to lose oh no so we've got like a kind of there's like a wave that's why you
have to put a string line from end to end so we'll start with the biggest one position and then we'll
cut on the side that we want to pull the stud toward and then as we pull it it opens the cut up
now this is where the action happens we put some pressure on him it opens up
witches once you've done that you need to add what is called it's at a flitch plate
or a fish plate which it's gotta be Fletcher yeah fish sounds crazy maybe comment below
whether it's a fish plate or a flitch plate okay we put the plate on either side it has
to be the same width as a stud and 225 Mills from the cut up and from the cut
down and then you just screw it I guess they own Ayla so because this section of the wall
needs to go in the other direction flitch fish to strengthen that part while we push against it now
so this area required a bit more yeah I managed to get it pretty much they're
good we have one split there and one split there and that's actually the maximum over
a wall this size you can't do any more than two so it did the
job I was looking pretty straight yeah that's it now we can do this
so we just had our firewall passed by the inspector she's happy with our bracing as well
on the side and the other side and we're using the brace line because it's denser so hopefully
sound sound won't travel through as much we're using that to divide the rooms and we're just
about to put the last sheet on making it into two rooms again pretty cool a putter sharing is caring
paralyze them to a nice nice straight wall we got two different rooms though
very funny putter
