Interior Framing Projects

Converted a single third-floor room at Christ Fellowship Church into two bathrooms and a hallway, including installation of a dropped ceiling system. Also framed seven interior walls for a third-floor apartment build-out, maintaining 16” on-center spacing and structural alignment under irregular roof angles. 

In late 2025, I completed two non-load-bearing interior framing projects: one at Christ Fellowship Church and another at a residential rental property. Both projects required transferring layout plans into physical wall systems while maintaining structural alignment, consistent spacing, and professional finish standards. All walls were framed at 16 inches on center and included door openings and properly supported headers. These projects strengthened my understanding of layout precision, lumber preparation, and structural alignment in older buildings.

Christ Fellowship Church – Third Floor Bathroom Conversion

At Christ Fellowship, I worked with a partner to convert one large third-floor room into three separate spaces: two bathrooms and a connecting hallway. The scope also included lowering the ceiling height from 12 feet to 8 feet to create a more functional and code-compliant environment. We used 36 2x4s and 12 2x6s to construct the partition walls and structural supports for the dropped ceiling system.

A major challenge was anchoring 2x6 ceiling supports into clay tile block walls typical of early 20th-century construction. Drilling and fastening into this material required careful use of a hammer drill and Tapcon anchors to avoid cracking or weakening the block. Converting a single open space into three properly aligned rooms required careful layout and squaring to ensure door openings and wall intersections were accurate. The project was completed in one day and passed review without any required corrections.

Rental Property – Third Floor Apartment Framing

At a separate rental property, I framed seven interior walls on the third floor, creating a living room, master bedroom, furnace closet, and bathroom. I cut and installed approximately 70 2x4s, performing most of the framing independently, with assistance only for positioning longer boards.

The structure was framed to follow the roofline, which introduced irregular angles and inconsistencies from wall to wall. Maintaining straight, level walls under those conditions required careful measurement, repeated level checks, and incremental adjustments during installation. The project was completed over three days and prepared the space for future mechanical and finish work.

Tools and Execution

Across both projects, I used a circular saw, table saw, chop saw, framing nail gun, hammer drill, impact driver, framing square, speed square, tape measure, and multiple levels (6’, 4’, and 6”). Walls were cut, assembled, squared, and secured to floor and ceiling structures while maintaining consistent spacing and alignment.

These framing projects demonstrate my ability to convert design plans into finished spaces, execute structural layout with precision, and adapt to older construction materials — all skills directly transferable to electrical installation where measurement accuracy and structural awareness are essential.
