[QUOTE="gfercaks33, post: 2818115, member: 5457"] Looking for some advice here. In my house I currently have an accordion wall (think elementary school) dividing two rooms. I am now tasked with walking it in and taking the accordion wall out. I know the basics of framing (I studied that in Francis Tuttle many years ago) so I under stand 16" studs the top and bottom plates ect. Here's where it's getting tricky, where the wall is going to be the Joists will be running parallel with the wall, how will I mount the top plate in this situation? I was planning on mounting the bottom plate with tap cons into the slab and the sides with some screws. Also will I need to remove the Sheetrock from where the top plate is or will I brok just leaving it? [/QUOTE]
