We are required to have "floating walls" in basements. I understand
how to build the walls and have looked at the source/info on Floating Walls at
asktooltalk.com as you advised another person. My question is--the walls are to
be suspended from the floor joists (2 x 10's). Can a 2x10 hold the weight of
these "hanging walls" or do we have to install an additional 2 x 10
next to the existing one to help carry the weight of the wall? I'm concerned
about the weight of the walls that run parallel to the floor joist. We will use
the metal straps as suggested. Thanks-From A Structurally Challenged Woman
