Attach Wood To Concrete Video
VIDEO SUMMARY
Does your upcoming project require you to attach a piece of lumber to a concrete floor or concrete wall? Not sure how to do it? Here is a very easy method for attaching that wood to concrete without using all those concrete anchors.
You will need a hammer drill, 20 ounce hammer and some 16d nails. Insert a 1/4" masonry drill bit, 4 or 6 inches long, into the hammer drill. Drill through the wood and into the concrete. Pull the drill out occasionally to clear the shavings. Once the hole is drilled, take two nails and place them in the hole. Then drive both nails into the hole at the same time.
Drilling the two nails in at the same time will create a solid connection that will be almost impossible to pull out. Space the holes about 16" to 24" on centers and your wood will be firmly held in place.

Question: How can 3/4" hardwood flooring be installed on a concrete slab,
not using wood as an underlayment?
