How to Frame Garage Third Bay Wall

What happens here

To ensure the new wall is perfectly straight, the creator utilizes a self-leveling laser level (specifically a Bosch GLL30). He places the laser on the ground, allowing it to project a cross-shaped laser beam onto the ceiling, wall, and floor. He then uses a marker (or chalk line, though he uses a marker) to draw a crisp, straight line on the concrete floor, following the laser's projection. This line will serve as the exact placement for the bottom plate of the wall. He initially uses a scrap piece of wood as a guide for marking, but the laser provides the precise line directly on the floor.

Goal: A self-leveling laser tool is used to project a perfectly straight and level line onto the concrete floor, guiding the placement of the bottom plate of the new partition wall.

warped let's see let me show you the tool that I got for so this is what I have I have this little laser it's a it's a little X plus looking sine laser it's really great because we're gonna put it on the ground it's gonna self-leveling do that in there we're gonna put the ground it's gonna shoot a laser beam on the ceiling on the wall and on the ground and it's gonna allow us to find the perfect 90 square so let's see what we can do with it okay so we found our lines on the wall we found the lines on the ceiling and right now we just established our line on the ground this is not a piece of pressure-treated lumber but it's a long piece so I'm gonna lay it down and I'm gonna use my sharpie or chalk if you have our marker or whatever and I'm gonna make a fine crisp line along so I can start with the bottom the pressure-treated lumber will throw a lag bolts for the concrete into it and then we'll put one on top and then the side and then we'll start building in the rest of the frame let's get to it so I screwed up on something I think the walls too much this way what I don't want to do is I don't want to take away from this parking spot here we're gonna do this house for a very long time but I don't want the next elders to be like
