I'm thinking of putting up a half-height wall in my basement to seperate the laundry/workbench area from the kids play area. It will have to half doors in it. One for the furnace and the other for access to the laundry area.
Between the doors will be a section of wall about 4 feet long with no side support (it will be attached to the floor only). Any recommendations on attachment method? The concrete floor is 80 years old, so I'm a little leary of using just nails or screws to hold the bottom plate down. I was thinking of drilling a hole and filling it with anchor cement. Then I would use lumber ties to make sure that the studs were well attached to the baseplate.
