    Like the title says, I need someone to help with framing up a room in my basement. Framing only at this point, as I'm doing this in stages. I'm near Frederick. Thanks.

    Are you looking for someone to do it or to help you do it? What are the details on what you are looking to do?

    I have materials and a basic plan. I don't really have any experience however. Part of the basement is finished, and this room is partially framed with electric, etc. However, I'd like to add additional framing with reinforcement so that the room can serve as a "safe" room as well. I'm NOT trying to build a vault, but am planning on reinforcing the room by doubling up 2x4's and using various materials - expanded metal or sheet metal as well as 2 layers of plywood/OSB. Eventually I'll add either a "vault door" or just a steel framed pre hung HD commercial door.

    So to answer the question, I guess I'm open to either.
