I have just started framing for basement wall.
I built section (top plate+ studs+ bottom plate) on the floor and raised the section up into the space.
It did fit into the space, but the floor is sloped, so one side of bottom plate sits on the slab but opposite side is 1"1/2 floating from the slab.
(tilting side to side. not back and forth)
Is this OK with adding shims or spacer? I am going to use Ramset(gunpowder nailer) to secure the bottom plate to the floor.
Or, should I cut each studs in different length so the bottom plate goes along with the slope?
I appreciate your advise.
