Attaching Basement Framing To A Concrete Floor-DIY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2017
- In this video, I show you the method that I use to attach basement framing to a concrete floor! I use Tapcon concrete screws to secure the wood to the floor! I basically use a drill bit to create the pilot hole in the wood and concrete, and then use an impact driver to tighten the Tapcon screw into the wood! It is an easy method, and the Tapcons can be removed if you ever need to make any adjustments! I have used nails to do the same job in the past, and they have worked just fine; however, I find this method to be superior!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can't fucken focus
LMFAOOOO!!!!1
That’s the best comment !
Been a while since I’ve done this, great to the point little refresher. Not too much information to overwhelm someone or confuse them. Exactly what I needed!
Thanks for giving just the information needed, bs free.
Also,use ear protection.
Treated or "blue" wood for bottom plate! Tapcons work great if you use a variable torque impact driver to run them. Too much torque and they strip or the heads bust off, too little and they wont drive all the way. also, never re-use the holes of a removed Tapcon that may not have drove all the way secure. The hole you drill is just a pilot hole. The threads of the Tapcon "ream" the pilot hole, but in turn chip and powder the remaining concrete, which in turn acts as a filler, kinda like Loctite. When you remove the screw, the filler comes out too, thus making the next screw driven loose in the hole.
You need to use pressure-treated wood... AND the screws go in much better if you blow out the drill holes with compressed air before inserting the Tapcons.
Is it me or does this guy sound like McFly from Back To The Future. GREAT VID!!!
lol
you nailed it... no pun intended but ya I knew id heard that voice before and your right I had
Either that or Charlie Day in Horrible Bosses
Your right I was thinking I knew the voice but I could remember where I heard it lmao hahahahah
No ramset?
How far apart do you put the screws?
If this isn’t Saul Goodman I’ll eat my shoe.
Haha Good looks but you’re thinking of Matt Jones!
I was looking for the comment!
Thanks for keeping it brief. All I needed to know.
What size tapcons did you use ? Length and thickness?Thx
The only reason I UA-camd this. Looking for how much grab is needed in the concrete
A year later.. lol looks like 3 inchers
I have flooring over a concrete floor and want to use 2x3 lumber. Do I still need pressure treated wood? 2x3s don't come in pressure treated. Need 2x3 to gain space.
Probably have to rip a 2x4
@@peterbergeris6510 Just yesterday I asked about this and was told that 2x3 can be bought easily. Given my track record with tradespeople over many disappointing years, no doubt that was not true. I'm here to figure out how to do all of this myself because you can't get anyone to do any work these days. It's very disheartening. Nobody cares.
screw size please.
To be up to code: Treated wood is required for the peice that touches the basement floor.
or using sill gasket on SPF
Wow!! I just asked the "specialist" at home depot yesterday about that and he said "NEVER use treated wood indoors because it releases chemicals"
@@ladyrenaissance2026 ( specialist ) . Lmao half those guys don't know their head from their ass.
You should have asked him, “then why do you have big stacks of it inside the store?
@@ladyrenaissance2026 😂😂
Lol you seem like a happy dude. Thanks for the how to.
Super helpful! TY
Oh hey there Manton
Hi Michael, I need to install this kind of framing on to my garage concrete wall, up to a height of 60”.
How can I attach the studs with their 2” sides facing the concrete wall?
You don’t need to attach the studs to the wall necessarily. You can attach the studs to the mud plate and top plate and then just make sure the top/mud plate are fastened down like he showed in the video
@@jackw6259 Thanks for the useful advice 👍
probably should have a vapour barrier and you're too close to the concrete wall thus you can't insulate or adjust for out of square walls.
This dude’s accent is wild. Never heard anyone emphasize vowels so much. “DIYyyy videooo abooout hooow too seeecure baaaasement fraaaming to cooooncreeete.”

Hey thanks badger!
Adjust playback speed to 1.25x
Thank me later
2x is better.
Thank you
probably of the best features of UA-cam lol thank you! as soon as vid started i went straight to the comments to see if it was even worth watching lol
LOL Better Call Saul
@@bleepsblops Thanks god!
Should drill bit be same size as screw?
No it should not. If you look at the package they usually have the recommended bit size for the particular size screw. Hope this helps.
to the point! subbed
What's the spacing on the tapcons?
You can space them however you want. Every foot or 18" whatever you want
What size drill bit for what size screws?
lol nobody ever says, it's annoying
the most importance point was mentioned
Depends on what you are drilling trought !! Take a measuring tape check the width of the piece of wood you want tu secure then add an inch to go into the concrete and now you have the size of your screws ! For the drill bit just take anything longer than the screw size and it should be fine 👍 screw = width of the material plus 1 inch minimum
@@ehbarooo I think he is asking for diameter not necessarily length. I use a 3/16 pilot for a #10 screw.
@@ehbarooo lol not really
How do remove a floor plate after it's secured?
As with most construction projects, being able to take it apart isn't usually considered. If you're going to remove a bottom plate, simply remove the screws with an impact driver. You may have a hard time doing this without breaking the tapcon heads, but it will still let you lift the plate up. If it's nailed down, you'll likely need a crowbar and you'll have a very hard time not causing damage to the wood and cement.
@@poetnk easiest way is to break away the wood around the screw then cut the screw off flush at the concrete
Ist helpful, thanks
no vapor barrier?
I loved this video! This guys voice makes this video that much more enjoyable haha!
iVAN He sounds like Bob Odenkirk!
Thank you sir
Bob Odenkirk?
didnt sound like that screw bit any
Can I use a cordless drill (Ryobi 18v one) instead of a hammer drill?
No, you need a hammer drill to drill into concrete
@@JamesZ1025 But the drill used in the video is cordless...
Oops, the OTHER drill. Oh dopey me.
how long are those screws please thx
They look like 3 inchers
The voice could send you off for sure!
Right 🤦🏼♂️
That voice can sell an ice cream even at Antartica !
Yes!! What’s is that voice -about...so distracting
Hammer . . . drill ?
Sorry could you project more please?
Can it be same to a tile floor ?
Yes, but you need a drill bit capable of drilling through tile, and you need to go slow or you will crack your tile.
Thinset is not as durable as concrete. You should remove the tile in the place where the floor plate will be. This will also mean that you don't have to remove the wall if you ever change the floor tile.
What size drill bit and screws?
Depends on what you are drilling trough check the width then add an inch ! For the drill bit just take anything longer than the screws
@@ehbarooo Oh please. Stop with the nonsense.
Based on the way you talked. Cya
I can see the pocket protector
It's Emo Phillips!
Probably have to rip a 2x4
Slippin’ Jimmy’s doing DIY videos now?
That's an outside wall so I guess no vapor barrier or insulation.
Hor eye zon what’s that? 😂
Yea after after I'm done drilling holes for all those tapcon screws my arms are jello for the rest of the day lol.
Heyyy everybodyyyyyyyyyy. I’m here to make a DIY videooooooo
Jerry Banfield installs framing to concrete floor.
thanks for no providing no sizes ...very unhelpful
Ooooooooh myyyyyyyyyy God! lol
LMAO at this guys voice wow
Okay Gilbert Godfrey! Thx!
#dont use shitty tapcons. They're very difficult for diyers to not over tighten/snap. Do the right thing and use a Ramset or a sleeve anchor.
Nah.
Sleeve anchors/wedge anchors are much better in every way.
Apparentlyyyyy I'm building a wallllll
Elle sekbach.... RE-porting
Thumbs down for "basically"....
Saul Goodman
Sounds like the "apparently kid"
Apparently there's no screw size on the box. Apparently my Dad came home late again and mom is mad. Apparently the Seahawks suck this year.
@@YourMomsSideDude Apparently the Seahawks still suck this year as well.
shouldn't this be a floating wall ????
wtf is with the screaming and pretty sure you need some kind of anchor 😂
Damn bro why you yelling your microphone works fine
🤦🏼♀️
and sure👌🏼Any old drill bit will work 🤣
I wanna see the video of someone using a paddle bit for concrete pilot holes 😂
Kermit the flog
Kermit the frog does diy.
If you are showing us then tell us how long your tapcon screws are and the diameter and the drill size. Give us enough info to do the job.
Should have watched some videos first before I paid a supposed contractor/ friend to finish my basement! Then I would have known he was totally destroying my foundation when he was putting my walls up! This dumbass RAMSET THRU my concerted blocks multiple times on each stud! My entire foundation has well over 100 holes all around the perimeter and is now full of water!
If you have a cinder block foundation you never attach directly to the block. The house will have to be jacked up on that side and the entire wall will have to be excavated and rebuilt. You might also be able to pour a replacement foundation wall on the interior, but you will lose a ton of floor space.
those will very easily strip out in the concrete and hold nothing
What do you mean?
Not sure why that would be the case... Tapcons are literally designed to thread into concrete and hold without stripping. Not like they're using drywall or wood screws here.
Tapcons have been around forever and are reliable... you are incorrect.
I am not a handy dude. Thanks for not making this damn rocket science.
What is up with the yelling at us and the weird speech cadence? Just be you.
Your NOT supposed to use an impact driver to insert tapcons into concrete ... Tapcons are supposed to be inserted with a nutdriver by hand ...
yes, but impact drivers have speed settings, as long as you are at speed 1 you should been good, that is pretty much just like doing it by hand but without the work. Hammer action wont activate at this speed
@@4dchessplayer516 none of my impact drivers have speed settings .. i have ryobi, dewalt and a milwaukee.
Even with speed settings i would not trust it especially a tap con into concrete or block, those i feel should be done by hand to ensure proper tightness
Doubtful, best idea is to not overtorque them. However you manage that is your best bet. Can't imagine too many people hand torquing these things in.
@@sean2me Tapcons are EASILY stripped when put in too tight into concrete and when its stripped, you might as well pull it out and re drill somewhere else and start over.
I have been putting in Tapcons for 20+ years and have NEVER EVER used a drill or impact driver or gun, always done by hand so that i know when to stop.
don't need to shout
That's a lot of voice coming at ya......
cut the crap man
Another video giving home owners bad information. That bottom 2x4 may be pressure treated based on the color. It should be. There should also be pink sill plate gasket material under that 2x4. You never want wood in direct contact with concrete. Using tapcons like this is not correct. Tapcons are very brittle in a shear load like this. You are far better off using sleeve anchors or expansion anchors.
If this is an exterior wall, which it looks like he's next to one, then he needs what you suggest. If this is an interior wall, then no because it is considered a conditioned space. To be on the safe side, use green and pink and you'll never have to worry. This is why cities require permits people.
It does look like the plate he's using is of a different material than the whiteboard / SPF board of the studs though. Might be "ground contact" pressure treated cedar for decks. It's very difficult to find colorful treated lumber here in Michigan for example, so the looks may be deceiving.
This is an interior wall. None of that matters. To code you don't need a pressure treated 2x4 for an interior wall.
@@srzy Depending on what code your area asks for - some ask that any wood coming into contact with concrete be pressure treated as the moisture can be drawn up through the concrete into the wood. This includes interior walls in a basement space.
@@srzy it matters here . our inspector would make someone rip it out and put in treated.
screws are far too small mate, you need bolts
OMG....how did you do that 😳.....so clever man. Well....amazing....very smart 👌 👏 Thanks for opening my creativity, I would never ever in a million years realise that 😀
You sound like a bot.
Annoying
Why are you screaming?
god that yankee sound.
If by "Yankee" you mean Canadian, you are correct.
You should not be using power tools.
Dude. Video was stopped 3 seconds into it. Switched to somebody else. Calm your voice down! Sounding like I'm deaf and dont speak english!
