Elgin Shop – Framing the Ceiling Part 1

Started framing up the ceiling today, I am putting studs 24 inch on center in preparation for insulation and drywall. Here is a shot of the first row:

I made a jig to quickly and easily cut the studs. This keeps everything uniform and lets me get it done quick:

I added some 2x8s on the outside wall to help support the studs and flush out the top.

Here is a shot of today’s work.

Hope to get more done this week, we will see how cold it gets…
