Hello All, let me hit the ground running with a question.
re: Floating bottom plate walls.
I live in the northeast and we don’t have expansive soils here so this construction method is not prevalent here and I’ve never seen it.
When building a floating wall, it looks like the 60d nails are holding up the wall. What keeps the wall from gradually sliding down the nails until it is on top of the bottom plate.

Good evening all,
Just starting this course to prep for exam. Hoping to be first female on Denver’s list of certified home inspectors. Having a great time and learning so much.
