What happens here

Once the framed wall is accurately positioned and confirmed to be plumb using the temporary side brace, proceed to permanently fasten the bottom plate to the underlying floor structure. Use the Milwaukee Fuel Brushless nail gun to drive multiple nails through the bottom plate into the floor joists or subfloor, creating a strong and lasting connection. This final step secures the wall in its permanent upright position.

Goal: Secure the wall to the floor structure

Tools and materials

  • Nail Gun Milwaukee Fuel Brushless — Driving nails for permanent fastening
  • Nails — Permanently fastening the bottom plate
  • Bottom Plate — The base component of the framed wall

What they say

Hide

Install a side brace, so when you get it up, you can move it over and get it set right where you want to. And then it's easy to move it if you just put one nail in it.
