Framing basement walls can be easy with some instructions, planing and preparation. Before you start your basement renovations, you should draw up a floor plan and measure the foundation walls and partitions to see how much material (2×4s) you will need. No matter what the floor layout is like. The one thing that never changes with basements is the foundation walls and that is where you start. I like to start with a wall that has a window.
