Ah I see. So like I drew it on the right side? I wasn't sure if that was the right way to do it or not because I wasn't sure if that would allow heat to get into the wall cavity. I've never had a...

So then it looks like you put the metal framing flush with the firebrick and then attached the Durock to the framing and firebrick, correct? Would fire rated silicone also be appropriate between the...

Hello everyone,
I'm back with another question regarding a portion of my family room remodel. First, I apologize if this should be in the fireplaces forum. I figured it was more to do with...

Just seems like it would be easier to just use cripple studs but maybe they weren't sure if it was load bearing so they put the header in instead.

Thanks again for your help, have a great holiday...

Thanks, that's what I thought. Is there a reason they would use a header above the doors for a non load bearing wall? Seems it would be more work than just putting in some cripple studs. Is that...

Last night that reply just said to check what is on top of the joist, but now I see you added more. That's why I didn't address everything in my reply.

Anyway, the joist is not spliced. All the...

There is a bedroom above it. The first cavity between the joists has a vent, so I know exactly what the wall is under. The nearest parallel wall above it is about 34" away (toward the camera in...

Thank you for the fast reply. The top plate is not between the joists. The joist that is above the top plate isn't directly centered on the top plate (if that matters). The joist above it might...

Thanks for the ideas, guys. I don't know why I thought I needed a 15' board. I had measured all this a while ago (along with some other things I was doing) and for some reason I had that number in...

I can't find a 15' 1x8 red oak board, so that's why I'm using two.

Any reason why I couldn't use two 1x6s so I can cover the seam with the shoe rail? I think I can find longer 1x6s than I can...

Sorry, I meant 1x8, not 1x10. Not sure if it makes any difference. Are you saying they will cup at the joint because they are not one piece? I am by no means a carpenter, so my tools for this work...

No laughing here, I appreciate the drawing! Makes more sense now. The string can be anywhere on the newel, correct? Not necessarily where the railing is going to connect? Because if I put it...

Sorry, I'm not sure I follow. Measure from the top of the nose of each tread to the ceiling? Or just one? And what do I do with that reference point?

Thanks again for your help, I appreciate it.

Makes sense. Does this work if the rail terminates into the ceiling? I have to match the angle of the 1x than the balusters attach to. Running the string to the ceiling and eyeballing it leaves...

Thanks for the input guys.

I may have used the wrong terminology when I said skirtboard. It does not sit on top of the drywall. I guess it's a stringer... it supports the stairs and runs right...

I'll let you know how it turns out. It'll probably be a while until I have everything installed (and longer for the whole basement).
