Building a wall frame laying down, general tips?

[JOW]

Exactly, don't forget that the corners should be nailed together on site, i.e., insulated/sealed and paneled on site. They are open to be able to nail the parts together. But it's about 2-3 boards per corner and some strips of gypsum/asfaboard if you use that.

Hello!

Can someone explain in more detail how to splice the sill in the actual wall? Should you lay it halfway over a wall stud and fasten it with a through screw (6x120mm?) or where should you place the joints?

For example, you can make sure the joint ends up between two studs and then splice with a loose piece, 555 mm long on top of the sill.

I did like Anders except that I used perforated metal plates for both the sole plate and wall plate.

If it concerns the joint of a sill between 2 blocks, it doesn't need to be joined together as much if you're building on a concrete slab. The concrete acts as one large splice.

If it's a joint in a block, do as Andersmc writes; if you also glue, the wall will stay straight during the lift as well.
