Building Out An Underground Vault Room

I’m building display panels for my underground vault. First, I needed to rip a bunch of 2x4 studs to 2 ½” wide. I’m going to build these panels just like I would a wall. I predrilled and then screwed everything together with deck screws. Next, we put down ½” CDX plywood. I use the plywood to make sure the wall is nice and square. This will give me a smooth flat surface to mount my ModWall system to. Then, I sprayed all the edges with black paint, to make sure we wouldn’t see any wood. Here’s where we got lucky- I forgot to measure the vault door, but thankfully the panel just fit through. I used 5” GRK concrete screws to mount this panel to the poured concrete wall. These screws require a ¼” pilot hole in the concrete. Next, we installed some ModWall panels- these come from the factory with little divot marks 16” on center and I used black screws to secure it the plywood. I’m planning to display my grandfather’s WWII uniform, our YouTube play buttons, and my beanie baby collection. We’re going to build out this entire vault room so make sure you like and subscribe so you don’t miss it. @hausplans #build #framing #carpentry #howto #construction #diy #contractor
