WEEK 7 Jack studs

Once the sole plates are fixed into position, jack studs were nailed to the sole plate at 1600mm centers to the plans specifications.

Johnny and Arlee here cutting the jack studs to leveled height of the set string-line.


Once the jack studs are all cut to the -400mm from FFL, the bearers sat on top of the jack studs and fixed by two 100mm skewed nails to each jack stud, one each side of the bearer.

The jack studs and bearers are braced off and plumbed and measured for the correct width acording to the bearer plan.

What is the width from outside to outside of the bearers?
What is the measurement to the center.

If this is all correct, how would it make the next stage easier when installing?
