Materials: 2"x4" lumber
batt insulation
beadboard
circular saw
nails
hammer or nailer
construction adhesive
masonry screws
corded drill
trim Steps: 1. Cut the lumber to length. You'll need a top and bottom plate, and studs spaced about every 16-24 inches apart. The spacing will depend on the width of the insulation batts. Build the frame by nailing the studs to the bottom and top plates. 2. Run a bead of adhesive along the floor next to the wall. Place the frame in place. Make pilot holes for the masonry screws, then attach the frame to the wall. 3. Fit the batting into the frame between the studs. Be sure not to leave any gaps, and avoid compressing the insulation. 4. Cut the beadboard to size and nail the pieces to the frame. Finish with trim. Resources: pest control
