I'm finishing the inside of my garage and need a guard for the brick stairs because the top step is 2" taller than the yer-gonna-die height. My plan is to build a 2x4 knee wall next to the brick steps and cap it with a 2x6. I know that I need a pressure treated sill plate that will be wide enough to keep the drywall off the cement.
Should I leave a 1/2-5/8" gap between the wall framing and the brick so that 1/2" drywall can slip down to the sill plate? Or should I frame it flush against the brick and have the drywall cut to match the steps?
Does anyone near me have a hammer drill I can borrow to drill 4 holes?
