   Do that or, if you are more comfortable with platform framing instead of toenailing, take you measurement for wal height from the point where the slab is highest and subtract 1-1/2". Build the wall to that height and put an extra PT plate down on the slab. Then use shims to level the wall into place .

   Me - I'd build in place.

   Excellence is its own reward!

   Happy Labor Day to you Dan,

   If the wall isn't to big and it's running across the floor beams.

   You can nail your bottom plate to the concrete, snap a line and nail your top plate on, and then scribe your studs in.

   Or nail your bottom plate on and tack your top plate to it, then put you 2x4s on the top plate and scribe your studs to the bottom of the floor beams assuming your 16"oc are following, cut your studs, pull the top plate back and nail your studs to your plate and raise your wall. Make sure you cut your studs a little shorter then your scribed line,it can't hurt if the slab is that bad, if you had a gap between the top plate and bottom of your beam you could always use a shim.

   Let me know I have to go my 4 year old son Joey wants to play, he's mad at me because I'm on the computer AGAIN MMMM LKIIHIOUKHUUIUIWUUUUWUUUOB .

   That was him.
