Question Basement Framing Question
I'm getting ready to frame my basement and had a question as to how far the framed wall should be from the concrete wall. I live in Castle Rock Colorodo and would like advice from anyone who has finised their basement.

Far enough so you are not securing your bottom plate to any under-slab, perimeter drainage. And a little airspace, say 1" couldn't hurt.
