Default Nailing to concrete?

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
Bob

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.

I'm no pro but I think it depends on the age of your concrete, and if
there is a lot of scrap buried in it. I can't speak for the nailer,
but some people here suggested Tapcon screws and I don't doubt that
they are good (These screws are robust!). But in my case I wasn't
succesful with them. So don't take for granted they will work.

I initially tried standard concrete nails with an average hammer on 50
year-old concrete, but the concrete kept breaking no matter how hard I
tried. Then I bought those expensive tapcon screws, but I must have
hit some small stone or something because it wouldn't go all way
through, even if I had drilled a hole before. I broke my bit trying to
screw it. It's the first time that it's not the screw head that gets
all eaten up when there is resistance.

I ended up nailing the concrete nails in the holes I had drilled for
the tapcon screws. The holes prevented the concrete from breaking.
That did the job for me and it holds well. I don't know if it's a good
practice but it was for a shed too, so I didn't care much.

A Paslode Model#F350S with #401548 nails will do the trick. Bostich makes a
dedicated nailer for concrete fastening, around $800.00.

plate.

Unless there is a problem with high winds or side loads of some sort, why not
use construction adhesive and save all the aggravation? If your slab is typical
of most shed slabs the thickness is on the slim side and whacking away with
concrete nails isn't what you want to do to a delicate old piece of concrete.

If the nails held in the holes you drilled for tapcons, either...
1. you had *huge* nails
2. the holes were the wrong size for screws...might be why they broke.

Default Nailing to concrete?

I use plastic anchors. It is easy to put, easy to screw a screw in it and
easy to unscrew if you need to remove the stud. I use 5/16" drill to drill
and hole, nail the anchor and use regular #10 2 1/2" sheet metal screws.
Works great with minimum effort.

If the nails held in the holes you drilled for tapcons, either...
1. you had *huge* nails


I used nails my carpenter friend gave to me. He called them masonry
nails or something like that. They are big and ribbed. Trying to nail
them in the old concrete just resulted in sparks and lots of concrete
breaking up. The drilled hole in the concrete was just a little
smaller than the nails, so there was enough pressure to hold them once
nailed in.

2. the holes were the wrong size for screws...might be why they broke.


I bought a pack of screws that came with a masonry bit, so unless
there was a packaging error it should be the right size. The screws
started going in but about halfway through, they came to a dead stop
even though the hole was deep enough. There seems to be some small
rocks in my concrete, rocks that are hard as hell to drill through, I
think the screw hit one of them.

As I said I'm no pro so I normally go by trial and error until I find
something that is good enough.

This may work if the concrete hasn't quite set.

Unfortunately, 13 years ago, Stormin Mormon tried to use a nail gun to attach a 2x4 to a concrete slab when the nail bounced off the concrete and nailed him in the head. The resulting drain bamage has caused him to stay on his computer 24/7 posting inane diatribes to Usenet. It was a real tragedy but at least he didn't lose his life. o_O

I hear you. Last week I bought some Ramen
Noodles. Three ounces net weight. Doesn't
begin to fill the bowl that used to be over
full when I made Ramens. I'd not saved any
of the old packages, but they likely went
from four ounces to three. The shrinking
food trick. But, the price is the same.

What is the fat content of "excessive meat" these days anyway?
I know that since they changed the grading standards and what used to
be choice is now called prime, getting a decent steak is "tough".
I guess we are burning all the corn in our cars now.
I can remember when sirloin was a good piece of meat, now it is stew
beef.

Unfortunately, 13 years ago, Stormin Mormon tried to use a nail gun to attach a 2x4 to a concrete slab when the nail bounced off the concrete and nailed him in the head. The resulting drain bamage has caused him to stay on his computer 24/7 posting inane diatribes to Usenet. It was a real tragedy but at least he didn't lose his life. o_O

"...and not eat excessive meat."

It's getting harder and harder to find a decent cut of
excessive meat
these days. There's a mom-and-pop meat market near me
that
only
carries excessive meat during the holidays. None of the
big chains
carry it any more.

I've eaten cow meat, deer meat, shark meat, octopus meat, duck meat, etc.

I've never eaten excessive meat.

What part of an excessive produces the best cuts?

Actually, that was a "help mate", although some websites actually use the
term "help meet".

This site gets it's wrong twice:

https://www.jesus-is-lord.com/adam_and_eve.htm

Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be
alone; I will make him an help *meet* for him.

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every
beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help *meet* for him.

This site only get's it wrong once:

2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him a help mate.

2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to
every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help *meet* for
him.

You're humor challenged, that one when "whoosh." IT WAS A JOKE.

Also you're an idiot. The bible does NOT say a help mate. Help does not modify mate. The bible says a help, meet. Meet is a term that means appropriate or suitable. It modifies help. Yahweh provided a help suitable (meet) for Adam.

Maybe not quite suitable enough.

Just goes to show what happens when you use a translation from 1611. And are an idiot.
