@felipe.freig It really doesn’t take long — but it saves hours later. When you’ve got your studs laid out and all your outlet/switch locations marked, do one extra step: write the measurement right in the center of the box. Why? • Drywall crews move fast. Marks on the side of a stud can get covered, missed, or ignored. • Centered measurements are harder to miss and way easier to reference. • If something does get missed, you’re not guessing you can walk back in, pull a tape, and find the box again. Example: ✅ “Up 16”” ✅ “Up 46”” Right on the box line, clear as day. This is one of those small site habits that keeps installs clean, avoids patchwork, and makes everyone’s job smoother. Tip of the day: Mark it once. Find it forever.

Transcript

We like to mark out these two way fours so that after we're drywalled, we know where they are. Best like this. I also like to mark out in pink, why not, where the electrical outlets are no that we don't miss them. You see one over here as well? So we'll mark it here no make sure that they know that there is electrical outlets everywhere, and we don't miss them after drywall. I also mark them 16 inch no that you understand where the electrical box is. That means electrical tier inches up above.
