Topic tags/keywords: question tip I’m going to section off a portion of my basement/garage for a woodworking shop. This will prevent sawdust from getting on everything. I’m going to be placing 2X4s on the concrete floor (regular boards as floor is dry). I don’t want to drill holes for anchor bolts or penetrate the concrete in any way. I was thinking of using a dot of Liquid Nails every foot or so. Any advice is greatly appreciated. -- I got out of the rat race. The rats kept winning. |

Well, that might work, but with it being a combo use facility, the change in temp and humidity will make for a moisture wicking situation. Around here, we use sill gasket under all lumber to prevent moisture wicking. Also, you have to use treated lumber here anytime you are touching concrete. If it were me, I would use tapcons to hold the bottom plate to the cement. Also, the foam sill gasket will keep anything from migrating either in or out of the shop. Tapcons make small holes but will hold a lot more than a dab of glue. One every couple of feet will do the trick. Also, if you bump the wall with Tapcons holding it, you wont have to worry about it being knocked out of position. -- Methods are many,Principles are few.Methods change often,Principles never do. |

The basement/garage is air-conditioned so I don’t have a moisture problem there. However, the house is built on a wet-weather spring. During heavy rains, water comes up between the basement floor (outside the garage door) and driveway and runs across the driveway. Hence, I’m reluctant to drill holes in the floor. These won’t be load-bearing; going to use the Liquid Nails and be careful. Thanks, UnionLabel. -- I got out of the rat race. The rats kept winning. |

There’s no nead to connect the floor at all to the concrete just make a floating floor. -- a-1contractor.com |
