Interior: FrameworkThe interior framework is established for the drywall sheeting to be installed. The very beginning of the process is establishing a straight line for every level to be used (if there is a step there would be the step level and the main level). This is done using the water clear tubing method and then setting the level lines in red chalk.dozer

They are two pieces, frame and opening and come in various sizes, this one the openings are 60 x 60.dozer
