I want to finish my basement over the next year. The basement is very dry and not prone to flooding.
The walls are semi-rough painted concrete. I am planning on buying a drill, and I'll make it a hammer drill if that proves expedient. Do I need to set up some sort of frame against the concrete before installing the drywall? What about insulation?
The best method is to build a 2x4 wall in front of the foundation wall. This gives you room for R-13, as well as making it easy to run electrical, plumbing if needed, etc. Snap a line from end to end, 4" out from the concrete. Plumb it at both corners and snap a line along the joists above. This will keep your wall straight and plumb. Hammer drill through the bottom plates (pressure treated) and secure with Tapcons. Insulate, apply a vapor barrier, and you are ready for drywall. Check with your municipality, because you will probably need a permit to do this. Hope this helps.
