The project is to finish off a portion of the basement to provide a clean workarea for our tailoring biz. The exterior walls are finished, so now it's down to the partition walls. The floor is poured concrete, uneven, cracked, but I can work around that.
I've read that a good way to install a partition wall is to secure a 2x4 to the floor, frame out the wall minus the height of the base 2x4, then lift the framed wall up onto the base...something about being able to lever the wall upright and still let it be short enough to clear the floor joists above. That's fine, I got that.
My question is about securing the base 2x4 to the floor - or, if not that, the bottom of my wall. I've seen nailers that use a .22 charge to drive a nail into concrete, which sounds like fun. Since I don't have one of those or any real long-term reason to buy one, are there any other ideas?
Thanks!
