How is a temporary shoring wall secured? Is it nailed to the floor and ceiling, or is it a freestanding structure?

Pepito,
You have to loose that font first. Look at some of the other posts to see what I am talking about.
If you could go into a bit of detail as to exactly what it is you are working on, I'm sure someone here will offer their advice.
Good luck,
Eric
Kinda depends on what is being shored up, and waht the existing conditions are, and what the end goal is. So far, you know a lot more than we do about all that. Wanna share?

Are you temporarily supporting the ceiling and/or roof while you cut a bigger window opening? If so, I would nail it to the ceiling and quite possibly one or two shots into the floor, just to be sure it didn't get knocked loose. If the temp shoring is plumb, and there's no sideways pressure from the roof, then the weight of the roof will keep it in place pretty well...at least right up to the point where the brother in law bumps into it when he's "helping", and then things get exciting.
