Even with a firing strip to stand the drywall off of the block I would glue
on a foam insul-board. This will slow moisture incursion (more than you
think) as well as insulate. Did it in my basement 25 yrs ago and it has
held up well. I wish I had done as Hrry K did with the low ceiling. Even
covering the screws with batten strips would have helped. Oh well...

I am thinking about finishing my basement and have two questions.
The basement is cinder block walls with a poured concrete floor.
When framing the walls should I nail to the floor using a ramset or
would something like liquid nails work? I also have one place where I
will need to attach the drywall directly to the cinder block, what
would be the best adhesive/method to use?

Thanks
