With the risk that this has been brought up before but I can't find anything when I search. And this is at a bit of a beginner level I know
but I have quite a few questions that I hope to get answered....
I'm going to frame up a bathroom where the walls are currently log walls. I was thinking of framing 60cc (or 30cc) with 21x70 to save some space since the room is narrow to begin with.
1. How should I proceed with the actual work process? I understand it would be easier if I screwed the frames together on the floor and then raised the whole thing, but there isn't really space for that.
2. If I start in a corner with a stud that I level with a level and then use that stud to go to the next or is there a smarter way (I have access to a Bosch PLL 360 laser level)?
3. Is there something smart to use as spacers rather than sawing your own wedges?
4. Should I screw the studs, use nail plugs, or something else?

There are plastic wedges. Probably a little easier to use.seven01 said:

Screw the studs into the log wall.
But you probably start with a couple of horizontal studs along the floor and ceiling?
I'm not really sure about it, but I guess it would be logical to have something to align the boards with both at the top and bottom. How would it be easiest to make sure those studs are straight then, do you think? I'm uncertain about the entire process from start to finish to ensure the walls are straight and nice...
