No . As long as the wine is bottled. It might affect humans however

You can't say wetback

Oh, BTW make it treated 2 x 4's, it's wet down there Get some metal track to put down before the mud sill (bottom plate) it will keep any critters from attacking the wood, use HILTI gun to shoot it down with (or wetback)

You should leave about an inch of clearance between the existing wall (outside water weeper) and the lumber (new wall) and install a dehumidifier and a fan that will circulate air between the wall space. You may also consider a moisture barrier on back side of new wall before standing it.

How much are you planning on spending on this project???? :dontknow:

Could you post some pics of your basement so Jerry can visualize your project please. He will spend you into the next eternity if you don't :elefant: :dontknow:

Great advise..... I would also suggest using green board completely. I did my basement that way including what Wifey stated and no problems. 8' ceilings are okay for a sheetrock ceiling if that is your finished height. You ownt be able to run ductwork unless its exposed. You dont want to cut through your joists for anything more than some plumbing pipe.

Going to home depot tonight...will need an angled one...$350 is a lot of money for a hammer replacement!

Worth every penny! Just try hitting your finger once........:nurse:
You know for 40/yrs. now I've been blowing things-up! We make it, then I-burn-it or blow-it-up.
I'm a little better at demo that new const.

Quick

I'm guessing his basement is pretty dry, Denise.

Have you thought about steel studs? I like em.

 

[Prof]

Have you thought about steel studs? I like em.

Looked at them today...what do you use to fasten to them? They are about 50% more expensive too...but interesting...

Carried 2X4's most of today...got to do some hammering. Just cannot justify buying the Paslode framing gun...but I looked at it long and hard...found it for about $340 now if someone will agree to buy it from me in a year for $280???

What did I learn today...8 ft studs on top of a 2x4 with a top 2x4 is more than 8 ft tall

But solved that by cutting the top 2X4 to allow for steel beam at 8'...just renailed the cut out piece in under the beam

This is fun! At my pace I will finish framing the first wall by spring!

Steel studs are straighter, No termites , no dry rot , fire resistant ,easy to work with , Fasten with screws , cut with tin snips , cuts installation in half. Did i mention i like em?

Going to relook the steel stud approach...

If your framing straight runs its good to build the walls on the ground and raise them up into position .. just make them 1/4 inch less and so the wedge in nice ..else use a few shims. It is more professional way of framing

 

[Prof]

Thanks Steve.

I will need lots of help in this project.

I wish I went up north with Sarah for the weekend... I would have went around the "pond" and help you bust the cellar out this weekend. I've been itching to get my hands dirty again.

 

[Prof]

I was thinking almost the same thing...why not go around the pond and see what Sarah is doing in Michigan...

It's Fu*king Snowing
