I am looking at building a half wall between the entry way and the living room. I can pretty much frame the wall. I am looking for ways to install the wall so that the open end is well anchored. I don't know if we want to necessarily run a support piece at the open end from floor to ceiling.
I have seen where the framing (stud) is run through the subfloor and tied into the floor joists below, which would be very solid. Are there any other alternatives to anchoring a half wall?
