Help

So I have been looking around in the basement and seeing how/where will I start to frame.  Since I have never done any sort of framing before, it seems like a daunting task.  I've been watching videos on YouTube and reading up about framing on various DIY WEB sites and it seems so simply and easy.  I then go down to the basement and look at the area where I need to build my shop wall and all that research does not help me how to go around a drain stack.

At our last woodworking meet, Gord and others offered to help with the this project.  They mentioned that it would be a  half day project to get wall erected with drywall and door hung.  This sounds like so easy, just the the YouTube video.  However, I am thinking that this would be a easy way out of learning something which would come handy in future.  Sure I can use the excuse that if they showed me how to do it properly then I would know for future.  However, we all know that doing something yourself has a complete different learning lesson.  Sure it will take longer, sure I will make mistakes, sure the end product wont look as nice professionally done, but....I DID IT...can't be beat.

As I write this, I have decided to tackle this on my own.  As I progress (or maybe not), I can always ask for help.

Next step to sketch out the wall with 2x4 and see how much lumber I will need along with drywall and tap cons.
