As part of a reno that we're about to start, I've got to build a 8' pony wall. My plan is to use 2x6s and concrete anchors. As a sanity check, that should be fine, right?
8 foot long or 8 foot tall?As part of a reno that we're about to start, I've got to build a 8' pony wall. My plan is to use 2x6s and concrete anchors. As a sanity check, that should be fine, right?
Use a proper knee wall anchor. Simpson Strong-Tie probably makes a few different options.As part of a reno that we're about to start, I've got to build a 8' pony wall. My plan is to use 2x6s and concrete anchors. As a sanity check, that should be fine, right?
yeah, the anchor to the wall, and the post at the end being rock solid are the key here.Use a proper knee wall anchor. Simpson Strong-Tie probably makes a few different options.
I'd check with local building codes, they probably tell you exactly what to do.
Ya, one I saw said to use these. Didn't really seem necessary if I'm using 2x6, but I guess it can't hurt.Use a proper knee wall anchor. Simpson Strong-Tie probably makes a few different options.

Imagine what happens when you run into it on your way to throw up, and it isn't anchored into the slab properly.Ya, one I saw said to use these. Didn't really seem necessary if I'm using 2x6, but I guess it can't hurt.

you want what's gonna look good or what's gonna work with what sounds like the whole family using it all the time?I've got to figure out what to do with about a 2" gap between the existing tile and the new door int he living room. Suggestions? It's about 2" wide, and 12 foot long.
edit: I have no spare tile, as nothing came with the house.
That's exactly who I was thinking of when I wrote that. +++++++++Depends who ya ask
Yeah there's no reason not to. Yall are kinda code obsessed but 99% of residential stuff is just common sense and it's not like it's getting inspected.Electrical question for you folks, I'm not even sure what to search for to find what NEC code says...
I had two islands in the kitchen, both with outlets. The smaller island shared the circuit with some of the outlets along the wall. The larger island is on its own circuit.
I'm putting in a new single, large island and don't see the need for both circuits to exist on the island. I assume I can't just bury the wire in concrete and call it a day. What do I do? Or should I just wire both into the new island. As I type this out, I think that's probably what I should do. No reason NOT to have separate circuits on the island.
