  • Bob great video.  I was planing on building some pour in place concrete walls.  Is this method good to use on the base plate of the forms? Ie base plate to hold bottom of form nailed into the footing or do you recommend a different method to hold the bottom of the forms?  Im just concerned over the removal work after I remove the forms. Thanks

  • that's a great way to fasten a wall, but a hilti gun is much faster, cheaper, and does the job of holding a wall in place.  I have finished dozens of basements, and a hilti is all I have ever used- no problems.

  • Hello what's the best way to build 2 exterior walls in existing concrete garage door to convert it into a living space. I live In FL, does the bottom half need to be in concrete or should I use treated woods?

  • You said one every two feet. If you're doing a very short, non load bearing wall (say 18 inches), should you just put one in, or is it better to add a second one?
