Great solution and easy to install following your instructions! Thank you for this shortcut for hiding support posts.

@dad1432 Год назад

Glad I stumbled onto this video. Makes complete sense. No need to mess with treated lumber, just leave a 1/2" gap between the board and the concrete.

@rajathiruvathuru1207 7 месяцев назад

Wonder if making a hole in the steel pole weakens it structurally? is it code approved?

@jakeovertake7885 3 года назад

Your videos are very helpful. Thanks truly appreciate you taking the time to show us how it’s done.

@T1Diabilities 3 года назад

I just wanted to add a quick tip I use when my drive pins don't sink in as far as I would like. I load the Ramset with another shot but not another pin, I place it over the head of the half sunk drive pin and fire the Ramset a second time. My Ramset is a hammer fired one but I'm sure this would work with the trigger ones as well.

@BasementFinishingMan 3 года назад

Nice! We actually do that too occasionally, works really good in sending the pin home!

@brandonmcdole7886 2 года назад

Never thought to do this, every time I use my ramset I have that problem, I'm either choosing the wrong length of pin or my concrete is just that hard.

@n4xyy 4 года назад

You just solved a problem I had with creating a railing under my deck! We had pavers installed and I need to attach a railing to the metal poles supporting the deck and sun-room above. Ramsetting a 2x6 on either side of the steel poles gives me a perfect foundation for attaching my railings. Thanks.

@CMCraftsman 3 месяца назад

I make 4 squares out of scrap PVC trim I keep around, hole saw the center of the square the size of the column, cut the square in half, and use pocket screw holes in them to wrap the post then I attach my trim to that.

@djdrewthat7623 3 года назад

Should it be treated if it’s touching the concrete? And is it ok for the structure?

@dad1432 Год назад

Yes. But instead you can leave a 1/2" gap between the floor and the bottom of the 2x6. Much easier.

@dpfeeley21 4 года назад

Does the part of the wood touching the basement floor not need to be pressure treated? Looks like untreated wood touching the concrete floor?

@capitankak 4 года назад

dpfeeley21 My exact question thank you

@BasementFinishingMan 4 года назад

It's just the very bottom of a full 2" x 6" and will be okay! It's only 8.25 sq. inches of regular wood touching...It won't be rejected by any code officer and perfectly acceptable to do. If your worried about it just keep your 2" x 6" up an 1/8" or a 1/4" off the floor before you shoot it on and proceed as normal. Treated could be used as well if you want...but in my opinion it's just not needed and we don't use it for this application as just the small edge of the regular lumber is in contact...been doing like this for 25+ years and no issues and no call backs!

@BasementFinishingMan 4 года назад

@Maxima Technically yes, but it's such a small amount touching the floor that it's okay and will not be flagged by a code officer nor will it affect the structural integrity for what we doing.

Amazing videos, Eddie! How would you hide a support post in the wall if the post is 4 inches in diameter? Should 2x6 be used instead? Is it common practice? Thank you!

@BasementFinishingMan 10 месяцев назад

Yes a lot of projects we use 2”x6” and that works out great to hide 4” supports!

@s1esteve Год назад

Trying to decide if doing it this plus drywall is more or less work than just boxing it out with wood and mitering it then paint

@dad1432 Год назад

Thought of using 1x6 or 1x8 to box around it, but I decided drywall is more forgiving, and I can change it later if necessary.

@jaredmac42 4 года назад

Thank you Eddie! Studying these videos carefully as I prepare to finish my basement. Question: I want to “bury” a series of these lally columns in an interior wall. Does that mean I’m making a thicker wall with 2x6s rather than 2x4s? I haven’t seen this done so I wasn’t sure. Thanks again.

Can I use the ramset option if I want to frame in a wall that butts into the bottom of the steel beam? I believe it is 3-8” steel I beam. Was thinking I could use ramset to mail into the flange part of beam?

@frankieg3933 3 года назад

@Jon-Ivy 7 месяцев назад

I'm drilling into my column rather than using a ramset to secure a pony wall to it. What steel screws do you recommend?

@pryme2013 4 года назад

Why would it really be necessary to Ramset the steel pole? Couldn't a guy box it in on all four sides and top and bottom and that would be more than sufficient? I don't think I'd feel comfortable shooting into the pole.

@BasementFinishingMan 4 года назад

Mr M this is the quickest way to do it. Sure you could box it out on 4- sides, it’s a lot more work and will not be nearly as solid as attaching the framing to the pole itself. I’ve done it both ways and this is what works best for us. The Ramsey is an AWESOME tool and is super easy to use...you really need to try it sometime! Thanks fir watching. ~Eddie

@pryme2013 4 года назад

@@BasementFinishingMan I wonder what a structural engineer would think about shooting 8 holes into a load bearing pole though that would be my main concern.

@BasementFinishingMan 4 года назад

Mr M he’d say the steel pin fills the void solid and no structural integrity has been lost...fire away sir!

Hey Eddie, first off, big fan. Thanks for posting all of these helpful videos, can't tell you how much they are appreciated. I have all my floor studs in with concrete screws and don't have a Ramset tool. I have two poles to frame in though, do you have any recommendations without using a Ramset?

@BasementFinishingMan 4 года назад

Drill-out holes and use tapcon screws.

@amoeba2091 Год назад

Ram sets are usually terribly loud. The video doesn't do it justice. Unless that model suppresses the sound, I'm not sure, but I suggest ear protection when using that tool.

@CodeMonkey66 3 года назад

Eddie - Thanks for your vids...they've been super helpful as I have been refinishing my basement. A quick question. Have you ever, instead of using ramset and nails, drilling holes and using screws to accomplish the same thing. So, if someone wasn't comfy (not me...a friend of mine :)) with shooting nails into a metal pole..that they could drill holes and use screws instead?

@BasementFinishingMan 3 года назад

I guess you could John, but that's the long way around to doing it. But yes you could lag into the steel by pre-drilling and then using proper metal screws. ~Eddie

@CodeMonkey66 3 года назад

@@BasementFinishingMan Thanks for your reply. I just don't have a ramset...so, I'd have to go rent one...which is fine...might cost less than the steel bit and lags.

@TheeRogerWayne 2 года назад

@@CodeMonkey66 I would do your method. Ramset is typically used to to fasten a floor plate to concrete. No reason to use a .22 pistol to fasten this thing to the post, but either way these guys know what they're doing.

@nicolereadstarot Год назад

Our house was built in 2000. It looks like the support poles were moved. How can I figure out why? I have rough cement on the floor where they used to be so idk how to fix that either..

@dad1432 Год назад

Check with your city's building inspectors to see if they have a record of someone remodeling your basement. Your city, county, etc., probably has a team of people dedicated to inspecting new buildings and remodels.

@1989hindu 7 месяцев назад

Which screw should I use for framing?

@borys444 4 года назад

Ur videos r very inspiring and I hope one day to b as knowledgeable as u r. Thank u for ur time but I have just one question: I noticed the heads of those nails standing quite proud on the wood. I’m assuming ur going to hammer them in the rest of the way?

@BasementFinishingMan 4 года назад

Yes...sometimes they will stop short of sinking the head of the nail into the wood. In this case you simply take your hammer and knock the head all the way into the wood surface. If the nail has broken through the hollow rolled steel column into it's core, It's easy to pound the nail-head into the wood 100% with your hammer. If you can't hammer it in, just bend it over or pull it back out and then shoot the column again. Thanks for watching Nicholas! ~Eddie

@TheeRogerWayne 2 года назад

My house was built in 64. the poles I'm encasing are just supporting the beam, there's no other framing connected to them. I'm just going to use adhesive for the 2 initial 2 by 6's, and then screw those to the other 2 boards, because I don't want to bore holes into the poles. In my case I feel like that method will be sturdy enough as it is. Once it's sheetrocked and trim tacked on the bottom, that thing isn't going anywhere.

@runninbare 3 года назад

Depending on the diameter of the pole you may have to fur the common lumber out to make it square and not rectangle. Matter of preference....and to allow for an electrical box

@ThaDieNasty 2 года назад

Yeah im thinking of how to do this and run an outlet or 2.

@runninbare 2 года назад

@@ThaDieNasty I usually use 2x6 on opposite sides of the post and use a hilty to attach it

@jkorinkeify 2 года назад

Sorry if you already answered this but won't this be 1/2 inch longer on one side? Would you just double up half inch drywall on the short side to make it square?

@dad1432 Год назад

Or let it remain rectangular. That's my plan.

Justin Norris hi Justin! Yes these guns work too, but it’s a little more difficult to use than the model we’re using simply because you need to strike the back of the tool with a hammer to make it fire the nail...I used to use this type years ago but switched to the trigger model fir simplicity sake...plus the silencer model means no hearing protection needed !
