important garage framing question
#1

To Jack et al. ,
Tomorrow, finally, is the pour for my 24 sq 2 story detached garage.
My question involves the manner in which I attach the second floor walls to the first floor. Do I face nail through the bottom plates of the second floor walls directly to the joists or do I deck the floor first and then erect and attach the second floor walls? Are there any special anchors necessary or any special nailing pattern?
