Basement reno (kitchen)

Todays challenge is building a frame in the new kitchen basement.
I got a frame nailer with a 6 gallon compressor (nail gun needs 100 psi and the compressor need to catch up, cfm is 4.0)

This frame needs to go on this side of the toom to cover the mess of the other walls.
I'm only loosing a few inches of my kitchen space but at least it will look professional and not a puzzle!


I used treated wood for the bottom plate, this wood withstands any humidity


I'm basically ysing 2x4 studs with 3 1/4 inch nails.
I still need to attach my new frame to the concrete floor. For that purpose i got these awesome tapcon nails. You just drill a smaller hole and nail through the whole. They even come with their drill bit!
