Good day.
I'm currently framing my basement, and have come to a point where I need help. Here are the rough plans:
In the space marked "Office" and "Powder Room" there are ducts running through the ceiling area. It seems easiest to simply drop the entire ceiling in these areas to accommodate the ductwork above. I plan on using drywall ceilings.
My question is ... the 8' walls between the office and powder room, and the powder room and unfinished area will fall in this "short ceiling" area. Up until now, I've attached my walls to the floor joists above and nailed them into the concrete on the bottom.
How should I handle attaching these partition walls under the shorter ceiling, since I can't attach these to the floor joists at the top.
Help?
