Looking for tips, photographs, & instructions on how to frame a basement using 25g steel tracks & steel studs?

Remodeling my basement. Just added a room. Decided to go with light guage steel framing. but there ins't many books or web-sites that offer tips and instructions about how to use steel framing. how to do it and what to avoid.

  1. It's generally the same as 2x framing. The difference lies in the spacing (that little red diamond in a strange place on your tape measure)and the way it's attached (self-drilling, self-tapping screws ). There's a good website for all kinds of info. http://www.steelframingalliance.com/mc/page.do And here's a couple that explain "how to" http://www.homestore.com/HomeGarden/HomeImprovement/HowTos/HowTos/CRHO_AssemblingStellWallFrames.asp?poe=homestore http://www.bobvila.com/BVTV/HomeAgain/Video-1510-04-0.html
