Jeffrey Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 i got the wood for the foundation today and tomorrow i will start to put it on but i was just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to attach it. i was just going to use finishing nails but im wondering if they will be strong enough.

bmatson Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Well, personally, I haven't used a foundation yet, but I would think that if you don't think glue will hold well enough, I don't see why you couldn't use nails. Or, if you have OCD like I do, you can use both!! Then you know for darn sure that baby won't go anywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 LOL maybe i will use both you never know about the OCD when it comes to me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 And there is also the saying "better safe than sorry" to take into consideration So yes, I would probably end up with both the glue and a "fastener" ie either nails or use the screwdriver... Looking forward seeing your foundation in place! Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minime Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Your foundation looks great. I like the little porch on the side and I love the stained gless idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
