Builder and remodeler question

Help Support Ruger Forum:

I've done quite a bit of what you describe and there is no "best way" since the wall you describe merely needs to support drywall or paneling.

You can buy fluted concrete nails at Lowes.

I'd space them a foot apart and when you're putting in the studs, make them long enough to where you have to tap/hammer them (the studs) into place. Toenail them and you're ready to go.

Or, make the stud wall flat on the floor and use #12 commons to fasten the studs to the sole plate and top plate. Then raise the wall, position, then use the concrete nails to fasten the bottom plate and #8 or #12 commons to the above floor joists.
Drill with Tapcons IMO is the way to go Your Millage may vary!
