    Buy a product called HYDROLIC CEMEMT at you local big box store. Fill the cracks or leaks with it, It will stop even running water. Then paint on a water sealer product I forgot the name but the store can tell you the name.

Framing Nailer for Basment [ 1 Answers ]

I'm planning on finishing my basement and would like to know if I could use a heavy gauge finish nailer (14 or 15 ga) to do the framing and also do the finish work. I don't plan to do any framing work in the future - so a finish nailer would get more use for future projects than a framing nailer.
