Mine were wobbly as f*n before the gypsum was in place! Now that both layers of gypsum are in place, it's as stable as anything.Robert 75 said:I am working on a similar installation to create an air gap against the basement wall and have set c/c 300mm on the steel studs and will cover it with OSB/Plyfa and gypsum. I realized that it is somewhat wobbly, so I will attach an angle iron to each stud that is screwed into the lecablocks. Tried on a few and it stiffens up the whole construction. Maybe a bit late for you now...

The first screws into the studs were like that, but after that, there wasn't much difference compared to wood.FredrikR said:How is it to screw the drywall into the steel studs? They feel quite flimsy. Is there a big difference compared to a wooden stud?
Yes, that would have been easier. But after talking to builders and designers, I chose to have venting at the top to allow any moist air to be ventilated out.FredrikR said:Why didn't you screw the upper track into the ceiling grid?
I bought the same tool you have, haven't started framing to be able to test it yet.
My studs are 2650mm, which is why I chose the alternative with angle iron "just in case."
Regarding the tool, it is starting to become somewhat dull, and it's time to replace the blade, but I am almost finished now, so it can wait...

What is the vent pipe sticking down from the ceiling?
Curious because I will build a room in the basement myself
The one on the right is for the exhaust in the laundry room, where the drying cabinet is also connected...människa said:Hello!
What kind of vent pipe is sticking down from the ceiling?
Curious because I’m planning to build a room in the basement myself
and the two on the right are for the FLVP (exhaust and extraction from the whole house)
