Follow-up question on my garage conversion project.
I am converting my garage into a family room. Existing garage has a
2x4 frame. Existing foundation sticks out several inches further than existing frame. Wife doesn't want a shelf or ledge on a particular side. She wants the drywall to run continuous floor to ceiling.To make up this distance between the existing frame and the foundation, I want to "sister" a 2x4 onto the existing 2x4 joice, thus making a 2x8.
What is the correct method for "sistering" 2x4's together like this? How would I nail them together?
Thanks,
Chris
