Ever since we have been showing you the wrap up of the living room and the built in s plans part one and part two we have had a lot of questions on how we built our columns so we broke the process down for your building pleasure.
Building half wall columns.
First i attached two common boards to the wall with liquid nails and nails.
Install the back finished columns and put a couple of nails in to hold the column into place along the wall.
Measure the completed column to cut the reversible flute on bottom and the mdf base on the top.
Once the frame is in place check to see if it s level.
Make sure it is the pressure treated bottom plate that makes contact with the concrete.
Place the completed half wall frame on the line you chalked earlier between the two columns.
Use shims to make any adjustments.
Measure five equidistant lines down the length of the column to place the colonial panel molding and mark off on column with a pencil.
