The framing nailer won't work. You can use a powder-actuated driver (you
can rent these), but I would personally use screws. Tapcon screws are good.
You drill the correct hole (they will sell you a carbide drill for the
purpose), make sure it is deep enough, and drive the screw right into the
concrete. The hole is not as large for Tapcons as for screws using an
anchor.

Have a small storage shed on a slab and need to replace rotted-out sill
plate. The original one was obviously nailed down but my question is how
do
you drive a nail through a 2x4 into concrete? I have access to a Bostitch
framing nailer, will that do the job? or other? which nails?

TIA
