Frame a wall (inside a sloped one)

[frillaH]

Hello.
I have an exterior wall that is not entirely straight (the house was built in '45) where I plan to frame with 45s to create a straight wall. I am also taking the opportunity to add some insulation, and an electrician will do some wiring. However, to the main question.

How should I proceed to find "the part that protrudes the most"? It should be the minimum value, i.e., 45mm from the existing wall. After that, the maximum value should be 45+x mm, where x is unknown, and I will have to place spacers between the existing wall and the framing. I've thought about it but am completely inexperienced when it comes to "measuring" such problems.

Best regards,
Peter

One possibility is to place the 45s and then lay the pass over and see where it leans, then you can find where straight is. Then put strips of masonite on the studs so you get a straight wall and attach OSB to the strips and then gypsum on top of that.

Alternatively, you can acquire steel tracks that you use in the wall and ceiling and insert your studs into. Start with two (vertical) studs, one at each end, and you can quite easily adjust yourself level with a good spirit level.

Alternatively, you can get steel rails that you use in the wall and ceiling and slide your studs into. If you start with two (standing) studs, one at each end, you can easily level yourself with a good spirit level.

Exactly!
Much simpler!

I wrote wall, but of course I mean floor.:blushing:

Thanks for the answers. It worked out. I was able to borrow a rotary laser... Wow, how smooth. With the right equipment, it’s a piece of cake
