Sticking with the remodeling theme, and this is on topic, I have a question:
I am finishing a portion of my basement to be an exercise room for the winter. Concept2 erg, trainer, rollers, TV, DVD, you get the picture (See? On Topic:)).
I am framing the concrete walls with 2x2s attached with powder actuated nails. I am using the most powerful load, but some/most of the nails are not flush with the lumber. Most stick out 1/4 inch or so.
So, what do I do when hanging the wallboard. Do I just lay it on top of the nailheads? I would then fear cracking the board when screwing in the board. Or, do I dig out a little bit on the backside of the board. Surely I am not the first person to do this.
Or, should I have figured some other solution before attaching 30 or 40 2x2's?
