Bottom plate is nailed to the deck 2nd and 3rd plates are.nailed together as long as the ceiling joists stack on the stud. Thats a waste of time

Bradley Krall :
if you layout properly with floor and roof joist landing on the studs it doesn't matter where the cap plate joints line up. as long as the proper nailing pattern is right you are hood to go. wall

In a perfect layout I’ll split on a stud but worst case I ensure each end of a plate has 3 nails to the floor or 3 to the double top plate

HBrrr :
Sometimes I like to just put a stud on either side of the plate rather than the plate only having 3/4” to be combined only by half a stuf

Jonathan Sauvé :
amen, all the hacks here in Ottawa don't line up the joints with studs either then when plumbers or hvacs cut sections of plates out they accidentally cut nails and dull the teeth on their chainsaws

Sumprookie :
I'm at fault on 18' walls as I get 16' lumber but I do agree with you as it's stronger and makes it easier for other trades to make holes in-between the studs and not dull there bits

We always make sure to add a stud for the joint on the 1st plate. Had no idea about the 2nd top plate joint, thanks!

Wood supports wood. Nails just hold it all together. Slays me when I see joists supported by nails.

Your dead wrong bottom don’t matter , top double plate doesn’t have to be over a stud . Come to Toronto we’ll teach you stooge

lol now the rim acts like a header and carrys the load to multiple studs ... so this is pointless

Tik_Ross_412 (Jason) :
I agree with you. Seams over layout, all layouts stack. It’s not just for load purposes but for continuity of HVAC cut outs etc.

Mitch Mitchell :
top and double plate have to lap by at least 4'. double plate sometimes has to break in middle of stud bay to make it work. bottom plate does not matter.

I do line all plate joints on the studs. And nail over the studs. Try lifting a wall with nails sticking out in between the studs from the double plate.

same here in America. truly unethical in my opinion. it's not hard to run joints over studs

I frame like you do. I absolutely hate it when people don't splice plates on a stud. and for top plates I do at least 4 feet away from each other.

ShirtlessJohn❤️Every1 :
if you want to put the top plate on a stud you can't go 3' over because studs go at 16" so you either go 2'8" or 4'

and the top (3rd plate) again, makes no difference if its on a stud, its there to help straighten up you wall and build it out.
