It's all about putting up the walls (exterior and interior) of your home. Host Jeff Wilson kicks off this episode with an introduction to the components of the most common wall used in home construction, the wooden frame -- including the sill plate, studs, top plate and rough openings. Segment two is a look at how an exterior wall is constructed, with the consideration of a number of exterior wall options -- concrete block, brick and logs. Interior walls, the walls that define the form and flow of your home, are discussed in the third segment. Wall height, soundproofing and columns are discussed, and a close look at drywall installation wraps up segment four.
