How To Frame a Window and Door Opening

My husband reminded me this morning that we started building our house 2 years ago. We moved in a little over a year ago. Yes it took a good year to build before we could move in. We built it with our own hands, every board and nail. The only worker we hired was the electrician. I give thanks to this channel and a couple of others for the advice, skills, and techniques they share. After moving in, we added 2 porches, and a guest room. We have a wonderful PAID FOR house now that we will enjoy for the rest of our lives.

I'm a general contractor in Champaign, Illinois, USA and have been watching your videos for awhile now. I just wanted to say thank you for all the awesome lessons. I really like your teaching style. Til next time :)

This is the simplest explanation of framing and the different stud types - it now makes sense! Thank you.

This is the video I've looked everywhere for! I'm a single mom trying to enclose a garage by myself. Your video answered every question I have. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to do such a great video. Thank you!

Carpenter's apprentice here, this helped me alot, and impressed my boss when I showed him I knew what was up! Thanks man

Shannon, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate these instructional videos. As a guy who didn't work in construction at any time in my life, your explanations are clear and very informative. Thank you for taking the time to share your extensive knowledge with us.

Shannon you are amazing, you should teach people in Construction school. God bless you for helping people, and thank you for transfering your knowledge. Thanks Again.

I'm a teacher and appreciate your teaching style. The best YouTube videos on home improvement and construction. Logical. Precise. Understandable. Clear stepped by step instructions. My go to videos. Thanks and keep up the fine work.

Yes I'm Canadian.

Keep making these videos Shannon. I appreciate people like yourself who are willing to share your knowledge.

Thanks Shannon. Because of your videos my husband & I just built and installed a 4x8 garden closet on the end of my garden shed. We used screws to put it basically together then got a low-end framing nailer (which is amazing) and secured everything. It is square and level. I won't say it was easy for us, but it is a very solid structure. Rafters next! Thanks again! Jean & Ken.

I can't say enough how informative, comprehensive and clear-cut your videos and teaching style is Shannon. Much love - thank you!

extremely well explained clear and positive energy Shannon you are a gem

Hey I am building a house in the spring, Nova Scotia, I am so happy to find your videos, Awesome. You are going to make me look good, ha. I will tell my friends your the man, thanks Shannon

No fancy musing or intros or special effects here, just good old framing information and know how......... Great videos, big fan of all your creations. Thank you for all the education.

last night after watching the framing one, i built a basement wall in 45 minutes and it worked perfectly. Today, I watched this one and am about to build the doorway on another wall i built. You make this easy. I bougt a book from local DIY store and have sat on this project for months. Your video got me off the couch and motivated.

Shannon, you put out such great, informative videos. : ) Thanks.

Wow your videos are really helpful and shown in a way that someone with very little knowledge (me) can understand! Thanks!

No need to ever change that style of delivery. Really do explain everything so well. Many thanks!

Shannon, I'll be helping my brother add some walls in his garage over the holidays. Great refresher class. Thanks.
