Default Nailing to concrete?

The original one was obviously nailed down but my question is how do
you drive a nail through a 2x4 into concrete?


You buy special hardened concrete nails and use a heavy hammer. A 32
ounce framing hammer will do it. Seat the nails through the 2x4, then
haul off and hit them as hard as you can.

If you like tools, Remingon sells a powder actuated nailer for the
purpose for about $25. It uses a blank .22 shell and a piston to shoot a
nail into the concrete.
