Wow, those concrete anchors are something else. Guess I’m not making any
mistakes!
i just use tap-cons and drive them in with the hammer drill for a little
shed or something. or, break out the RAM set and shoot nails in with a 32
calibre charge 🙂 thats always fun
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.
you’re the man ! Thanks, MR.G
Check out this video on YouTube:
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
Nice, thank you
Thanks Bob. I got to install a small wall in my warehouse for target
practice with my Compound Bow. Your the man…. Keep up the good work.
Also, what diameter are you using?
Cheers for the vid it was very helpful
Where do you get these things? They dont seem to be at Lowes or Home Depot.
And all the ones I see online are like $30 or more for a box of 100. I dont
need 100.
Can these be used for sill plates for framed walls for garage on concrete
slab on grade?
thank you
Wow……thanks for this EXCELLENT tip!
@TheSaxyjaz Unless the concrete blow-out was deep then no. Move the new
anchor a few inches away and install.+++Bob
I am a bit confused about your situation. Are you walls framed to the
concrete floors and the the wood floors are built between them? or is your
wood floor framed and then the walls were built on top of them? Also why
are you removing the wood floors, rot. termites. create more headroom in
basement? Are the floors going back in?
Great video! Seems like a good alternative to a powder actuated fastener.
Thanks Bob, I used Tap Con Screws. I appreciate your responses.
Well done video!!! great explanation.
Hey BOB You can speed up the process by drilling the hole in the treated
floor plate with the 1/4 inch roto hammer bit saving one step. Drill in
3/4inch over depth and roget cleaning the debris away. Also why buy a split
drive fastener when 2 -16d green vinyl sinkers are cheaper and you already
have some in your tool bags? Great video.
If you have the tools,some basic skills,and a willingness to learn and work
thru possible problems,I say go for it! If you have a friend or a friend of
a friend that works as a carpenter you could ask questions of that comes in
handy as a resource, If there are any questions I can help with leave a
message on my channel+++Bob
If its against your lease to drill Tap-Cons into floor (they are
removeable) I would put some silicone under it. We use it to keep granite
countertops from sliding around and should work, Good luck +++Bob
Hmmm… not a problem yet! but he figures while it’s open what are some of
the ways to improve something that could cause issues. So any spray foams,
gaskets, sheet metal etc. that is known in the industry for such
occassions. He’s willing to hire the right professional as he wants to
improve what’s there already 🙂 Thanks for your input… much appreciated!
BTW, he is quite crafty with his collection of tools but not sure what’s
involved.
Thanks Bob….you saved me some heartache… getting ready to frame
basement and your videos have helped already. Keep up the good work
how do you get the corners?
